CHAPTER 1. HOUSE MAEGYR
VOLANTIS
The free city of Volantis was founded by the Targaryens after they overthrew the Ghiscari Empire. After the Doom of Valyria the Volantenes tried to build their own empire, but because Aegon Targaryen intervened the people of Volantis satisfied themselves with their own territories. The society became a slave based society like many of the free cities in the east. As time passed Volantis became one of the most powerful and populous cities in the world; second only to Braavos in power.
The people of Volantis have very strict laws concerning society and slavery. Every slave receives a mark in regards to what that slave is meant for. A fish for slaves who handle fish or work the fishing vessels, a fly for dung shoveling, a tear with its point facing down is for whores, crossed hammers for builders, a circle within a circle for those who drive carts. Slaves served in many aspects of life with the exception of pit fighting. Slaves caught carrying arms were immediately put to death.
The Rhoyne River runs through Volantis and divides the city in two. The Western side is open to traders and the Eastern side houses the inner city and the elite. A two hundred foot wall called the black wall surrounds the Eastern half. The wall is wide enough on the battlements for chariots to ride across. Foreigners are not allowed in the Eastern quarter.
The government is ruled by the Triarchs. The Triarchs are elected from the two ruling class of government organizations. One is known as the Tigers and the other the Elephants. The Tigers are descendant from the warrior class which started the wars with the other free cities. The Elephants recently rose to power from the merchant class. Volantis hosts the largest standing army in the east. But despite its military might there are more slaves in Volantis than citizens.
CASTLE MAEGYR
One of the oldest families from the warrior class is House Maegyr. The House was founded during the reign of the Targaryens and has been around since the city was built. Maro Maegyr is the current lord of the House and a sitting Triarch. His wife is Lady Avalene Maegyr nee' Zyre. She has given him two children a daughter Talisa and a son named Arro Maegyr.
The Maegyr's own many slaves and Maro himself commands a personal army 100,000 strong. It is late summer and the Maegyrs are hosting a grand feast. Children run and play, both Talisa and Arro run with the children. Talisa is twelve name days old and Arro is eleven. "By the goddess it's hot…" Talisa says.
"I have an idea lets go swimming…"
So down the lake they go near the castle. Several slaves and guards go with the children. Talisa is standing in the shallows talking with her friends. When she realizes her brother is not around teasing her as he usually does. "Arro!" She starts calling and then screams when sees him floating face down in the water.
Talisa pulls him from the water with all her might. She kneels at his side weeping when the large slave shoves her and places his head to his chest. "You filthy slave you dare put your hands on Lady Talisa!" Another girl screams, but she is ignored, as he places his mouth over Arro's and blows. Then he presses down on his chest as guards show up. "That filthy slave pushed the mistress…"
They point their spears at him, "No wait!" Talisa commands.
Then her brother spits up water and starts coughing. The slave steps back and then Talisa hugs her brother, "Don't ever scare me like that again…" The soldiers place manacles on him. "No and do not hurt him…He saved my brother's life."
Maro is furious, but the slave did save his son's life and Talisa begs her father to have mercy, "Well slave you shoved my daughter, but you save my son…What should I do with you?"
"Whatever the master pleases…"
"Father please…"
He nods, "A life for a life…I give you your life slave…You are free…"
"If it please the Master this one wishes to serve family Maegyr as a free man…"
"Why you are free?" Talisa asks.
"And where would this one go…Lady Talisa…"
"I could give you gold…"
"I wish to serve as a free man…"
"You will serve my daughter…"
Later Talisa sits alone in her room thinking on what she had witnessed. She smiles and comes to a decision. "Where did you learn to do that?"
"This…My father was a healer, but he was also a drunk and a gambler…He lost everything and was sold me as a slave to pay his debts…I learned a lot from him…"
"Will you teach me…" For the next five months Talisa learned many things from Kasad about healing. Then she asks her father to hire a master healer to teach her and Kasad. Kasad finishes his education as a healer and Talisa becomes a healer. Kasad also learns the sword and becomes a personal bodyguard to Arro. "I am leaving father for Westeros…I am tired of slavery and watching others suffer…I want to go to Westeros where I can put my skills to use…"
Three years had passed since her brother almost drowned. Her father agrees and allows her to leave. Upon arriving in Westeros via White Harbor she is able to help many people using her skills for the poor. Then a war breaks out two years later and after three victories, she meets the Young Wolf of the North who is now King.
