Chapter 3

Meereen

Elena Tailor

For the following days Elena would fly above the ship,eat the fish or anything the sea had to offer,fly some more then at night would land onto the mass of the ship and sleep. The routine was extremely tiring and Elena could not wait to reach Meereen. On the eight day of the routine,she had just finished eating a fish when she looked ahead and saw the speak of land. At first,she thought it was an island but then the speak stretched more and more until she saw people and little buildings on it.

Meereen!

She let out a shrill cry of joy and raced ahead of the ship towards Meereen.

"At long fucking last."Elena muttered to herself as she looked upon Meeren.

It was as large as its sister cities,Astapor and Yunkai. The bricks were of many colors,the walls were higher than Yunkai and anchored by great siege towers at every angle. She walked to the gate to be met by two guards. "Name."one of them said simply. "Elena Tailor."she answered. He bellowed a cry to the few people on top of the gate then told her,"You may pass."

She nodded her thanks then entered into the city. The streets were bustling with people,buying from vendors,vendors selling stuff or kids running around. She paid none any mind as she walked to the Great Pyramid.

Another two guards were standing before the door. "Name and business."a guard said. "Elena Tailor and I am here to see Daenerys." "Aren't they all."the guard sighed before moving out of the way and allowing her to pass.

She went inside.

Torches were lit at the side of the walls,a long wooden table in the middle of the pyramid and a tall bench. Her gaze landed on Ser Jorah Mormont and Ser Barristan Selmy,Daenerys knights and part of her Queensguard. They both gave her warm smiles. She moved her gaze to the front of the room to Daenerys.

She was the same as the day Elena last saw her. Tall,slender,pale-skinned and long silver-gold hair. She was just beautiful. She moved her gaze from Daenerys' body to her face. Her face broke into a huge grin and her amethyst eyes gleamed happily.

Daenerys Targaryen

She never felt more happy than when she saw her old friend,Elena Tailor. She looked the same as she did three years ago. Tall,slender yet muscular,dark-skinned with ice blue eyes and long black hair.

However,she could tell that Elena changed. Her body was marred with scars,her face was almost completely emotionless and her eyes held little warmth.

But that didn't matter to Daenerys.

She got up from the bench and slowly walked towards Elena,not caring about the numerous eyes watching me. As soon as she reached her,she threw her arms around her and pulled her close. "My big,bad wolf."she whispered softly and teasingly. She heard Elena chuckle and strong arms wrap around her waist.

They pulled away after a while and Daenerys turned to the people at the long table. "Captains and sellswords,let us feast today in honor of my good friend Elena!"Daenerys said. They all cheered loudly while the servants quickly scurried to prepare the feast. She brought Elena over to Ser Jorah and Ser Barristan. Elena hugged Barristan like a daughter would a father then settled with a firm handshake with Jorah.

Daenerys knew that Elena and Jorah weren't exactly close but both respected each other. Once they were done greeting each other,Daenerys walked up to Elena. "We have a lot of catching up to do."she said. "Then let's catch up."Elena replied simply. They exited the pyramid and walked eastward. They made it to a small lake surrounded by different kinds of flowers.

They sat down at the side in a comfortable silence,listening to the gurgling water. "How did you know I would be in Meereen?"Daenerys asked her. "I just remembered a conversation where you told me you wanted to go to Meereen."Elena explained. Daenerys nodded. "How is life treating you?"she asked Elena. "Not any different. Still looking for vengeance,protecting the innocent and giving justice."Elena replied matter-of-factly.

"Still playing the gallant knight I see."she sighed playfully. "Well,I'd make a better knight than most in Westeros."Elena replied coldly.

I was right Daenerys thought. Elena has changed and more than I would like.

She decided to try a more humorous approach. "On a good note,you came back to visit...even if it was three years later."she said. That brought a small chuckle out of Elena. "Don't you dare hold that against me. I lost track of time." "Time?! I think you mean years."Daenerys stated with a smile. It quickly faded however as she looked away from Elena.

"To be honest,I was starting to think you didn't want to see me or forgot about me." Moments after,she felt a warm,calloused hand wrap over hers and looked to see Elena gazing at her intensely. "Daenerys Targaryen,you are the last person in the entire world that I could ever forget. Only a bloody fool could ever forget you."Elena told her sincerely.

Daenerys didn't know why but she felt relief and a strange wave of happiness hearing Elena say that. Holding her hand in hers she leaned forward towards Elena's and closed her eyes just as their lips met.

The kiss was soft,lips barely touching,at first. Then she deepened the kiss,biting Elena's bottom lip and pulling her closer. All too soon they both had to pull away for the need of air. Once she got her breathing in control,she turned to Elena to see her smirking at her. "What?"she asked,confused by her smirk. "I'm starting to suspect that you missed me for more than just out of friendship."Elena replied smugly.

Daenerys felt her cheeks warm and redden. She turned her face away.

She felt Elena's hand cup her chin and gently turn her face so they were looking at each other. "Don't worry my queen,"she said,her voice husky and low. "After the feast,I promise to make you scream louder than you will ever scream." Daenerys' felt her throat go as dry as the sand from Dorne and her body as hot as its sun. Elena removed her hand underneath her chin and got up. "Come on. We better go back before they think we got attacked or something."Elena told her.

She extended her hand to Daenerys. "You are such a tease."Daenerys told her while she accepted her hand. "That is one of the many things you love about me."Elena answered slyly with a wink.

Once again,Daenerys couldn't reply to her.

They walked back to the pyramid. Upon entering,the servants told her that the feast would be ready in five minutes. A loud hiss sounded throughout the pyramid and everyone went silent. Daenerys turned to the entrance of the pyramid to see her eldest dragon,Drogon. He flew onto the table and sniffed the air.

At first,she thought he was looking for food but then she saw him whip his head to them,looking only at Elena with his smoldering red eyes. Both stared at each other for a long moment. Abruptly,he ran towards her his lips parted slightly as if he was smiling. He jumped from the table onto Elena's shoulder and nuzzled her cheek roughly. Daenerys could practically see everyone in the room slump in their seats know that they saw Drogon meant no harm and presumed their talking.

"Seven gods Drogon! What has Daenerys been feeding you that you got so big?"Elena cooed to Drogon. He nuzzled her a bit longer before crawling over to her right shoulder and jumping onto Daenerys' shoulder. She scratched his chin gently. "He eats pieces of any type of meat so far but all three of them are growing more hungry and restless."she replied.

"It's like I say. You can befriend a beast even break a beast but you can never truly tame a beast." "Wisely said Elena."Barristan said,approaching them. Becoming bored once more,Drogon flapped his wings and flew out the pyramid just as a servant came and said,"The food is ready!" She nodded then went to the table and took the chair upfront while Elena took the chair closest to her.

The servants soon departed with the first dish. Trout cooked in a crust of crushed almonds. She had scared eaten much today with all the work she had to do so the food was a welcome. She called one of her servants to fill her cup of wine as she looked at Elena. She was wolfing down her food and took a swing of her wine as Jhogo,one of her bloodriders,leaned over and said something to her.

She said something back to him and looked at her with a gleam of amusement in her eyes then winked at her before she resumed talking with Jhogo. She felt her cheeks redden again and she drank deeply to hide her blush. The second course was a broth of crab and monkeyfish and a saddle of lamb. The lamb was succulent and the broth was flavorful. Soon the dishes came and went until,at last,the dessert came. It was cherries covered in sweet cream with a slice of lemon cakes.

Daenerys was only able to take two bites before she called a servant. "Go to the markets and give this to anyone you see on the streets. Bring a guard with you."she ordered. "Yes,your Grace."she bowed,taking the dish in her hand and walked off. She turned back to the table to see Elena watching her with a look of approval and admiration.

It quickly changed to mischief as she got up from the table and turned to her.

"Your Grace,"she said to her. "Would you like to accompany me to a night stroll?" Daenerys rolled her eyes but her stomach was fluttering with anticipation. As much as she wanted to lie to herself,she couldn't wait any longer for what was about to happen.

She quickly told Barristan and Jorah that she was retiring early before getting up and walking beside Elena.

Author's note: Hope you all are enjoying the story so far. If you have any questions don't hesitate to P.M. me and reviews are always welcomed. One thing I do want to be clear on for this story is that Daenerys and Elena are not a couple nor will they be later on. They're more like friends with benefits to put it simply.
