Chapter 2

The Free Cities

Elena Tailor

The following day,she pushed herself until her wings ached and she wanted nothing more than to collapse and sleep. She had just gotten out of Westeros and to the edge of the Free Cities right at Bloodstones.

Might as well rest there for the night and eat something. But first I need to check that the place is safe.

She looked down at the island,using her enhanced eyesight. There were a few fishermen at the shore but the rest of the island was empty. She folded her wings close to her body and shot down to the island. Once she was in range,she snapped them open and let the wind slow her descent.

She then transformed into a wolf and decided to explore the island and find something to eat. The entire place was made of stone so there was not a single forest like area. She looked around,sniffing and waiting,until she found three green lizards scurrying from under a rock. She quickly grabbed them in her jaws and clamped down on their spines,giving them an instant death.

She put them on the ground and began eating them. They were small so they didn't provide much meat and whatever little bit they did it was scrawny and tough to chew.

Hopefully those fishermen leave tomorrow morning so I can have a proper meal Elena thought.

Once she forced down the last bit of lizard meat she got up and looked around for a secure place to sleep. She soon found a big cluster of fallen rocks that looked big enough for her to sleep under and not get detected by any unwanted attention. She squeezed herself under the rocks and closed her eyes,thinking of how happy she'll be to see Daenerys once more.

When Elena had woken up the next day,she assumed that it was morning since the sun was bright. It wasn't until she yawned,got up,stretched and really looked at the sky that she saw the sun was setting.

Midday! Seven hells,how long did I sleep?! She huffed in annoyance then trotted to the beach to get a quick breakfast. She looked around to see if there was any fishermen still nearby by the nearest one still too far away to see her.

She sat at the edge of the water,still as a rock,waiting for a fish to swim by. Soon enough a black silhouette flashed in the water. She thrusted her muzzle into the water and clamped her jaw on a fish. She brought her head back up out of the water and dropped the fish onto the sand before going to retrieve another one.

Once she caught enough fish to sustain her for a while,she laid down and began munching away. She tossed the bones back to the sea when she finished then transformed once more into an eagle then took off,heading north-east. Out of all her airborne transformations she had to admit that the eagle was her second favorite form right after the dragon.

The feeling of the wind blowing on her face and through her feathers,being able to see more than a human and the realization that she was free.

She looked below at the human's home. The world can only be interpreted by how we view it. The wise words of her foster father Aeron Greyjoy,or more commonly known by the Ironborn as Damphair. If we view it as beautiful it will be beautiful,if we view it as ugly it will be ugly.

Aeron was the younger brother of lord Balon Greyjoy. If Aeron was correct,her home was on the cape of eagles close to Pyke. When the Lannisters and Baratheons had burned her home and slaughtered her people,the Ironborn had came a day later to get what they could only to find her burned home. They had decided to leave since there was nothing for them until they heard a loud wailing.

Upon searching,they found her.

Many of the Ironborn didn't want to take the child with them but Aeron took her as his own for seven years. She wouldn't exactly call them family but she did have a strong connection to them all,especially to Balon and his children Asha and Theon who insisted on calling her sister and making her call them sister or brother.

What did I view the world the day my home was destroyed Elena thought bitterly.

She hadn't seen any of the Ironborns in four years but promised to come back soon. Another promise I have to keep. She had flown over Pentos and the hills of Norvos before exhaustion succumbed her. It would've been so much easier for me if Daenerys was in Westeros Elena thought with a sigh.

She then suddenly wondered if she could find a ship that was heading to Meereen or,at the very least,Valyria. She looked down at the sea in search for ships and found three ships. One was going in the direction she just came from and two were going in the same direction as her. She didn't know exactly where they were destined to go but she decided to go on the one that looked more it was going north-east than north.

She folded her wings and dove towards the mass of the ship. Once in range,she flared her wings open and descended slowly onto the mass. Luckily there wasn't a single human on it so she took the opportunity to settle down and relax her aching body.
