"Father?"

"Yes my dear?"

"Tell me a story."

"Which one would like to hear?"

"Dragons"

"All dragons are born from the ashes"

"How come?"

"Because we are the last Dragons of Old Valyria. Every time we fall, we rise from the ashes."

She immediately gasped for air, panting as she slightly opens her eyes, adjusting her blurry sight, taking in her surroundings, she saw she was in a wooden room and she was on a bed. She tried to get up but immediately regretting it as the pain shot in where she was stabbed, right in the heart by the Usurpers.

Usurpers

That's what she remembered. Being attacked by the Usurpers.

She collected her breath as her vision was more visible than before. She saw a young girl come in the room saying "Oh good! You're awake! I was wondering when you'd finally get up." She said with a giddy voice as she came near her.

"I'm Marilka, like milk, I know, I get that a lot" she said with a cheery voice, leading Rheanys {Nickname because her name is long} to think that she was a talkative girl "What's your name?" Marilka finally asks.

"Where am I?" She asks trying to buy some time to find a cover name.

How was she alive?

"Blaviken" the girl said "We found you by the woods" Marilka says "We?"

"Me and my father. We decided to keep you, you've been out like--- five days or six, I don't remember. What happened to you?"

Decided to keep her? Who do they think she is? She is not an object!

"I don't remember" she lied. Was Blaviken in the apart of the Free Cities? Her father never mentioned Blaviken in the Free Cities.

"What's your name?" Marilka asks again "Ella" she lies once again. Wait! Her hair! They would think she's a Targaryen and kill her--- again? Wait she alive but how? And where is her aunt, Daenerys?

"You look like you're far away from here, are you okay?" Marilka asks and she nods, "By the way I love your hair." She adds

Rheanys takes a strand of her hair and sees it's black.

No, no, no, no, NO! NO! MY HAIR! MY BEAUTIFUL VALYRIAN LOCKS! THE TARGARYEN DYNASTY DEPENDS ON IT!!!!! HOW COME IT'S CHANGED??!!!!

Without noticing, a tear escaped her eye, "I know, it's nice to have black rather than to have stupid blonde brown hair like me. I wish I was you, your black hair matches your beautiful lilac eyes" Marilka sighs

"Marilka, who are you talking to?" Came a male voice from the door, "Oh goodie! You're awake." Aldred said sarcastically with an annoyed voice "Here!" He tossed an apron on Rheanys "If you're going to be staying here, don't think you'll get free hospitality, everything has a price in Blaviken, little girl" he hissed and said "Get to work" then left.

How dare he?! Does he know who she is?!

"Excuse my father, he can be a little bossy when he's drunk." Marilka said and Rheanys nodded "What job was he talking about?"










If there was one thing Rheanys didn't like was filthy drunk people. As she was raised as a princess groomed to be Queen, she would hate working here with these filth.
