This is the story of a faceless woman that used to have the name of Arya Stark, A girl doesnt remember her northern roots as princess of winterfell, but a old friend could remind her.
Boats went in and out of the docks of Bravos. It was a foggy day in Bravos, it was almost always foggy in Bravos. The rare days were when it wasnt foggy. A girl leaned against a wall staring at the ports waiting for one Sterno Mafry. He should be here soon thought a girl. If he was late he would miss his ship and would have to call for a new one, if he were to make it on time he would still miss his ship, the only diffrence is he wouldn't be able to call another thought a girl. Then she saw a man rowing into the docks, emerging from the fog. Then man then tied his boat so it wouldn't float away, followed by him stepping out of his small boat.
The man looked around and after a minute walked up to somebody, followed by another, and another until he finally walked up to the girl. Hello said the man. Hello said the girl. May I ask for your name asked the man. My name is, she paused, Mercedene said the girl. Well it is a plesure to meet you Mercedene said the man. Now that I have given you my name, may I hear yours said the girl. My name is Gendry Waters said the man. Why does that name sound so familiar to me, I am a faceless man but it still sounds so familiar thought the girl.
So you're bastard said the girl. Yes, I am said Gendry. Well who's bastard are you said the girl. I never knew my father, I never even learned his Idenity said Gendry. You know it's not nice to lie to a stranger said the girl. What said Gendry. I said it's not nice to lie to a stranger said the girl. I'm not lying said Gendry. More and more lies said the girl. I didn't come to you to talk abought my past said Gendry. Well, why did you come to me then said the girl. I wanted to ask you if you have seen my friend, a ship captin said she was in bravos said Gendry. When did you last see her asked the girl. 8 years ago I think it was said Gendry. You seem to be good at rowing said the girl. Well, I've been doing so much for the past 8 years, I spent 3 of those years rowing to the riverlands in westeros, only living on fish a water said Gendry.
The girl was so into her conversation she didnt notice her face starting to peel off. Oh shit thought the girl. The girl hand swung in a quick motion to grab her chin and make sure her face didn't fall off. Are you ok said Gendry. Yes said the girl putting her hand back down after securing the face. So who is your friend asked the girl. They are abought 5'1 and very skinny with grey eyes and brown hair said Gendry. What is there name asked the girl. Arya, but if you haven't seen her, hav you seen a boy named Ary, they look very similar said Gendry. The girl new he was lying and that they were the same person but she decided to play along and answer his question honestly. No, I do not know a Arya or a Ary said the girl. Well thank you for your help said Gendry. The girl then watched as he walked away.
He's not coming said a familiar voice behind her. The girl turned around to see her mentor, who she first knew as Jaqen but then learned he was really no one. Why is he not coming said the girl. I learned 10 minutes ago he is setting up shop at a bakery said the man. Why didn't a man tell a girl this 10 minutes ago said the girl. A man didn't want to interupt a girls conversation said the man. Well you want me to take him out asked the girl. Yes said the man. The girl went to walk away until the man grabbed her on the shoulder and she turned back to face the man. What did that man "Gendry" say asked the man. He was looking for one "Arya" said the girl. Im presuming you dont know and "Arya" asked the man. No, do you asked the girl. Not anymore, I used to know a Arya, but she isn't alive anymore said the man.
Well a girl better be going, A girl has a job to do said the girl. Yes, a girl does said the man stepping back into the shadows. A girl stepped into a alley way and pealed off her face to reveal a face that used to belong to Arya Stark, but now was just to the girl another disguise, another face that can be desposed of any minute. A girl tossed the face into a bag in the alley. Then out of the same bag she pulled out a new pair of close and a new face. The girl then took the bag and hid it where only no one could find it, where only she could find it. She then stepped into a dark corner, dark then midnight and undressed and put on the new clothes puting them in the bag to. Then she put on the face she retrieved from the bag and she walked out nonchalantly, no one asked her questioned she walked off, she wasn't Arya Stark, she wasn't Mercedene or Mercy, She was No One...
