Unfamiliar places, unfamiliar faces (Starter for Sandbastard)
After months of sailing and searching she was finally here, at the shores of Dorne. She pulls her scarf to cover her hair and half of her face while she walks towards Water Gardens. People stare at her. Her red hair and green eyes are not familiar sight in this part of the world.
At the gates of Water Gardens a guard stops her. “No visitors today!”
“Please I beg you, I have to see lady Ellaria.” Lily drops down her knees. She was so exhausted from the journey and desperate to find what she is looking for. “Please...”
Guard grunts and picks her up. “I will get punished for this...” he mumbles. Lily can hear the water in the fountains, birds in the trees and laughter in the shadows. A smile rises to her lips.
“She insisted” guard grunts again when he drops Lily at the feet of the Mother of Sand Snakes. “Lady Ellaria” Lily whispers and bursts into tears. “I have heard so much about you. I... I can’t believe that I really, actually found you!”
