"HE SHOULDN'T MAKE US WAIT" Dany stated impatiently around the castle where the spice king lived, Helaena stood next to Xaro and watched as her sister walked around the room pacing  

"The Spice King is the second wealthiest man in Qarth. He makes everyone wait. Of course, you could have avoided this embarrassment if you married the wealthiest man in Qarth" Xaro said turning towards Helaena who didn't spare him any look

"My sister is far too young for marriage" Dany stated as she stopped pacing

"Your sister is far too beautiful for her to remain unmarried forever" Xaro continued talking like Helena wasn't next to her

"And you are far too smart to think I will succumb to flattery." Helaena spit back from her spot as her eyes wandered around the room, Her eyes landing on Talia and one of the blood riders who accompanied her 

"I have traveled very far in my life. I met many women, none that are immune to flattery." He pointed out to helaena but she rolled her eyes and traced her hand across a pot nearby

"The Mothers of Dragons " The Spice King announced as he walked down the stairs "Here he comes," Xaro said 

"Forgive me, I had terrible dreams last night, terrible dreams." The Spice King apologized "I could not sleep until the sun was shining and the birds were singing. Oh, look what a beauty you both are. Now the Red Waste has been washed off you, I am sorry about all that unpleasantness. The silver hair of a true Targaryen, Xaro Xhoan Daxos, she is far too lovely for a glorified dockworker like yourself." He and the others began to walk down the stairs 

"Very true, and yet they say that your grandfather who sold pepper off the back of a wagon married a lady far lovelier and higher born than himself." Xaro said back to him

"Every lady alive was lovelier and higher born than my grandfather." The Spice King joked as his people behind him laughed

"Did my servants not offer you two something to eat, to drink? I had them flogged in the square." He stated while looking at the people behind him

"Thank you, My Lord, you are a gracious host. But there is no servant alive that can bring us what we want." Helaena said from her spot irrated 

"Ahh, she has a talent for drama, this one. So my little Princesses, what do you want?" He asked them like he was talking to five year olds Dany spoke up"Our birthright, the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros."

"I fear I'm no better than a servant in this regard, I cannot give you what I do not have." He laughed off

"We're not asking you for the kingdoms, we're asking you for ships. We need to cross the Narrow Sea." Dany said 

"I need my ship as well. I use them, you see. I use them to bring spices from one port to another one." he explained 

"Whatever you grant me now will be repaid three times over when I retake the Iron Throne," Dany says to the man "Retake? Did you once sit on the Iron Throne?" He asked

"Our father sat there before he was murdered," Helaena replied. "If you did not sit on it yourself, would it not be correct to say take the Iron Throne?" He said as Helaena scoffed 

"We didn't come here to argue grammar." Helaena said irritated on what was just said  "Of course not, you came to take my ships." He accused them 

"So let me explain my position, little princesses," he said as he walked in front of them, "unlike you two, I do not have exalted ancestors. I make my living by trade, and I judge every trade on its merits. You ask for ships, you say I shall be repaid triple. I do not doubt your honesty or your intentions, but before you repay your debts, you must seize the Seven Kingdoms." he said 

"Do you have an army?" He then asked. "Not yet." She answered. "You do not have an army. Do you have powerful allies in Westeros?" He asked"There are many there to support my claim."

"When you were there last?" he said with a smirk, Helaena froze, She wasn't even born "We left when I was a baby" Dany said

He chuckled. "So in truth, you both have no allies." he said smiling "The people will rise to fight for their rightful Queen when we return.Helaena said walking up to the two

 "Ah. Forgive me, little princess, but I cannot make an investment based on wishes and dreams. Now if you'll pardon me." He turned around walking back up the stairs,

"Do you Illyrio Mopatis, Magister on Pentros?" Helaena asked him "Yes, we've met. A shrewd man." He said.

"For my sister's wedding, he gave her six petrified dragon eggs. He believed the world believed that the ages had turned them to stone, how many centuries have been since dragons roamed the skies? But she dreamt, and if we carried those eggs into a great fire, they would hatch. When she stepped into the fire, our people thought we were mad, but when the fire burned out, we were unhurt. The Mothers of Dragons."

Dany let out a breath as Helaena finally came to where she was standing "Do you understand?" Dany asked him

"I'm no ordinary woman. My dreams come true." She stated "I admire your passion. But in business, I trust in logic, not passion. I'm sorry, little princesses." He said, walking away again.

"We are not your little princesses. We are Daenerys Stormborn and Helaena Sunfall of the blood of Old Valyria and we will take what is ours, with fire and blood we will take it!" She yelled at the back of the man.

"Yes my lady, but not with my ships." He said, ending the conversation as he walked away

-

When they returned, Helaena and Dany's dragons were gone, Irri and The guards were slaughtered and Doreah was nowhere in sight, Helanea paced around the room when Jorah came threw the door 

"You came back?" Danny stated "As soon as I heard,' Jorah told her out of breath "Do you know anything?' He looked at the room 

"Irri is dead," Helaena said from her spot looking at the garden below "I know she was good-" he stated "She died alone she died for me and I couldn't protect her" Dany spat.

"Doreah?" Jorah questioned "We can't find her she must be dead too," Dany said pacing the room. "let my people out of the red waste and into the slaughterhouse" She said angry

"I should've been here"  Jorah told her as Helaena rolled her eyes "You went to find me a ship"

"My place is by yours and your sister's side I shouldn't have left you alone with these people" Jorah confessed "These people?" Helaena asked 

"They are not to be trusted,"  Jorah told the women "We will find them," Jorah said 

"Who is to be trusted?" Dany 'You call my people Who are my people the Targaryen's? My brother would've let 1000 men rape me and Helaena if it got him the crown"

"The Dothraki? Most of them turned on me the day Khal Drogo fell from his horse" Dany reminded him of the day "Your people are in Westeros" Jorah told her.

"People in Westeros don't know we are alive," Helaena said as she sat down "They will soon enough" Jorah spoke confidently. "And then what?" Dany spoke up "They will pray for my return they'll waive Dragon banners and shout my name Our brother was told the same thing and he believed it but he was a fool," Dany said 

"You two are not your brother," Jorah told them "trust me," he said 

"There it is 'trust me' and it's you I should trust Ser Jorah, only you?" Dany asked him"I don't need trust any longer, I don't want it and I don't have room for it"  Dany told Him

"You are too young  No one can survive in this world without help no one let me help you please tell me how," Jorah asked 

"Find our dragons" Dany instructed as he nodded and quickly left 

-

"Jorah of the andal. This man must sail to old Valyria. All who travel Too close to the doom must have protection" The same lady with the mask spoke

"I did not come here for lessons," Jorah told her "No, you came for the dragons" She finished his sentence "You have them? Where are they?" Jorah demanded as he put his hand on his hilt

"Draw your sword and see what your steel is worth" she spoke standing up to face him 

"You want to please the mother of dragons," She said to him"Where are the dragons?" he demanded "Will you betray her again Jorah of the Andals? Will you betray her again?"

"Never," He said confidently to her face "The thief you seek is with her now," the woman said and returned back to her work
