Life After Death

Anxiety

MEEREN

When Jon, Gendry, and Davos arrived back to the Pyramid, Jon immediately noticed there is something wrong. There were too many guards around. 
"Stop!" one of them held them back. He did not let them enter. 
"Let me in," he ordered him, but the unsullied soldier did not move away. "Are you deaf? Let me in!" Jon told him again and raised his voice.
"Jon." Davos placed his hand to his shoulder and turned to the soldier. "What happened?"
"We can't let anyone in. It is the Queen's advice," Grey Worm stepped forward. 
"Do not want me to force you." Jon was getting nervous, no matter how hard Davos tried to hold him back.
"Do you really think you can beat me?" Grey Worm had a smirk on his face.  
"Violence does not help." Davos interrupted them and looked to Grey Worm. "What happened here?"
"Someone attacked the princess." Grey Worm told them with an emotionless face. Jon immediately sobered and he became more nervous. 
"If someone tried to attack my daughter my place it there. Next to her," he told to the captain of the unsullied. 
"Where were you when that attack happened?" Grey Worm still playing with his nerves. 
"Let them in." Daario stepped out from the Pyramid.
"We cannot be sure it is him" he answered in valyrian language. 
"The Stark girl is with the Queen. Yara too. They can take care of him if he is not who he says he is." Daario answered. Jon was just staring them, he did not understand what they were talking about, but at the next moment, Grey Worm nodded towards his soldiers and they stepped out from their way. Jon almost ran inside. 

"Missandei?" Davos raised his eyes to Daario.
"In save." he answered in a serious tone then turned back to Grey Worm "No one else, can enter." he left them there. Davos and Gendry looked at each other. They still had many questions. They did not understand what is going on. When they left everything was fine. Nothing happened in the last couple of days. They go out once... and problems appear. They followed Daario. They thought seriously the reinforcement of the guards. Dothrakies, unsullied and the Second Sons patrols everywhere inside. 
"Do not go out. It is not saved." Daario turned to them. 
"Wait, why?" Gendry frowned.
"Because it seems we cannot trust anyone," he answered, and walked away from them. 

"Stop!" Arya stopped Jon when he wanted to enter into her daughter's room.
"Are you kidding me?" Jon rolled his eyes. "Arya, let me in." 
"What is the name of my sword?" she asked him seriously.
"What?" Jon did not believe in his own ears.
"You heard it. What is the name of my sword?" she asked again.
"Needle." Jon shook his head, and in the next moment, Arya put his arms around him and hugged him. 
"I was so worried," she told him.
"Arya, what is going on?" Jon asked her, but she just opened the door for him. Daenerys was standing next to the cradle. Missandei was sleeping there, but her eyes were in tears. She was crying and she looked worried. 
"Jon!" Dany whispered his name when she saw him, and he immediately put his arms around her and squeezed her close. He still had no idea, what happened while they were away. He saw in Arya's face there is something serious. Dany was shaking, and Yara was standing right next to them. Jon placed his palm to her cheek and tried to look into her eyes. He swiped a tear away from her face. 
"I'm sorry I wasn't here..," Jon told her.
"I wasn't here either." Dany shook and lowered her head. "I..."
"Who was it?" Jon asked.
"A Faceless Assassin. One of who tried to kill Daenerys earlier. This is their method. If they fail... they wait. Then they try to attack again, but... two failures no longer fit. They won't give up. Not from now." Arya stepped closer and explained. "They used one of your soldier faces, but they did not count with a Red Priestess, neither a warrior." She looked at Yara. "It was luck."
"How can we stop them?" Jon was determined.
"You can not." Arya answered "They serve the Many-Faced God. If they get the order... someone must die, they do their task. Show no mercy." she continued.
"She is a child," Dany stated.
"They did not care." Arya sighed. "Neither the one who hired them." she looked at Jon. They all knew. They knew it was Bran. That was no question at all. Even if this hurts them. 
"And from now on? We won't leave the Pyramid anymore? Because if anyone does maybe that one get killed... and those assassins use their faces?" Dany stepped out from Jon's embrace and spread her arms. 
"I have an idea." Arya sighed. "But you won't like it." she raised her eyes to them. Jon looked at her questioningly but she turned to Yara. "Yara, would you please send Nesera here? Maybe she can help. Or Liliyanna. Who you find sooner."
"No." Dany cut in. "Nesera. I trust her. Only her." she continued. Jon frowned. He understood, but he thought after they discussed this topic... she'll be more open with her. 
Yara looked at Dany and she nodded. She walked out of the room. 
"I'll leave you alone until she gets here," Arya told them "I am sure you'll be in save with him" she tried to give them a smile then she stepped out and closed the door.
