Chapter Ten

Aera's first move is to go to Harrenhal, knowing well that Robb Stark's army is there all she needs to was to observe. Maybe do something stupid but she just needs to make sure.

In the Courtyard of Harrenhal, Aera saw Catelyn Stark and Robb Stark talking about the death of Catelyn Stark's father.

"Something else?" Catelyn asked worriedly. Robb took a deep breath and stared at his mother.

"By the time Bolton's Bastard Ramsay got to Winterfell, the Ironborn were gone, They massacred everyone and put the castle to the torch. Bran and Rickon have not been found. They may have escaped. Or Theon may be taken them back to the Iron Island as hostages. " Robb said.

" Have you received any demands? " Catelyn Stark asked worried but her son shake his head. Aera cannot stand anymore and looked at the poor mother, dying to know what happened to her children. Aera takes out a piece of paper.

"Bran and Rickon are alive." Aera wrote and fold into an airplane shape. Aera used her magic to send the letter to the woman, but being Aera... it smacks into Robb's face.

"Fuck" Aera whispered, she was just meant to fly the letter on the woman's lap but she used too much of her energy that the paper plane hit the face of Robb.

Robb catches the paper before it falls on the ground. He opens it and his face turned into a frown.

"What is it?" Catelyn asked and Robb handed the paper to her mother. Catelyn slowly read the words and she stands up to look who sends it.

Aera was about to leave when she step on the wrong part of the roof she was standing on, it creates a sound-making everyone turned to her.

"I'm the luckiest person alive" Aera whispered sarcastically. She turned to Catelyn who looked at her warily then turned to Robb who frowns seeing a girl on the top of the roof. The lower face of Aera is covered by a mask.

She got eye contact with Robb, but before anyone could walk towards her she jump off the other side of the roof where no one can see and disappeared into mid-air.

Robb saw the girl jumps from the roof of a high tower so he hurriedly ran towards that place but he found no one, even his army didn't find the girl.

"She knows where Bran and Rickon are, Robb... She send this letter" Catelyn in form and hope was formed in her heart. Unknown to them Aera was just on another roof looking at them, this time she made sure she will not do anything stupid to expose her location.

Aera travels around Westeros, familiarizing herself with the people. She spotted Tyrion, Varys, Cersei, Joffrey, Tywin, and every man you could see in Kingslanding. She travels around even where was Theon was being tortured and she didn't stay any longer because she cannot help the man.

Aera saw the Tyrells and her favorite Lady Olenna and Lady Margaery. People who manage to play Game of Thrones very well. She also spotted Lady Sansa with Shae.

Aera needs to earn everyone's trust for them to trust Daenerys to become the Queen of The Seven Kingdoms.

Aera came up with a plan to take the trust of Catelyn Stark to earn the Trust of Sansa, she could work on others later on.

Aera travels back to where the Army of Robb Stark is headed, they're at Riverlands Wood and his forces move along the path. Aera notices Robb Stark with Rickard Karkstark on the side watching their Army.

Aera looked for Lady Catelyn but the girl didn't notice that Robb Stark spotted her. Aera runs further up the path to look for the woman whom she spots seating on the rock. The woman weaves a wooden circle bound with twine and she's talking to Talisa.

No wonder Robb fell for Talisa, she's such a beauty.

They talked about Jon Snow after that Aera makes another paper fly on the woman's lap. Talisa who was seating next to the woman stands up as one of the men called for her.

Catelyn notices the paper, she knows it was from the girl who send the letter about Bran and Rickon. Catelyn heard a noise behind her, she sneakily walked towards the forest.

Behind the big rock, Aera waited for the Lady and there she is. "Lady Catelyn" Aera greeted the woman staring at her trying to recognize who is the girl is.

"I'm Aera, you don't who I am. I'm only here to tell you that your sons manage to escape." Aera informs the Lady who manages to breathe after hearing the news.

"How... Who are you?" She asked.

"I'm actually traveling when I saw your children escape. You don't have to worry about me, I hated the Lannister more than you could know. Tywin Lannister killed my niece and nephew, asking his men to execute a poor child. " Catelyn can hear the hatred in Aera's voice.

" Where are they going? Bran? Rickon? " The woman asked.

" I don't know but I saw them going far north... They say they have a brother there. "Aera said. Catelyn nodded in relief, she knows that Jon will protect his brother and they will be safe away from the war.

"And you who are you and how can I trust you?" Catelyn asked and Aera shake her head.

"You don't, I only came here because I can feel your worry towards your children. In truth, I don't want to be involved but a mother should know how her children are." Aera said sympathetically. Catelyn nodded.

"Thank you, Aera." The woman said and Aera was about to leave but she stop herself.

"Sansa is still in Kingslanding, you don't have to worry about her for now. If you have a letter or anything you wanted to say... Maybe I could deliver it." Aera said and she doesn't know why she was doing this but she never got to meet her mother Rhaella.

"You would do that for me?" The Lady asked and Aera nodded.

"I swear to the Old and New Gods that I'm not tricking you or anything... I never got to meet my mother as she dies having complications of giving birth. I just wanted to help" Aera sincerely said, the truth she needs to earn their trust at the same time to help.

Catelyn stared at the girl, she was wearing a mask so she couldn't see her face properly." Show me your face then I'll trust you" the woman said.

Aera hesitate but she did. Catelyn was taken aback by how beautiful the girl is, it was still Aerasanne but not without the violet eyes and silver hair. Catelyn would call her a Goddess if she's her with her real features.

Catelyn just sighed and nodded. She will take her chances just to talk to Sansa even to a stranger. Aera, take the pen and paper from her bag for the woman to write.

"How about Arya? Have you seen her?" Catelyn asked and Aera tried to remember where the girl is. She's probably with Gendry right now.

"All I know is that she's not in Kingslanding," Aera answered. Catelyn stop herself from writing and looked at the girl.

"What do you mean? But Petyr-" Aera cut off the woman.

"Never trust that man, Lady Catelyn. He will only do something to profit himself. Arya isn't in Kingslanding... That's all I know" Aera informed. Catelyn continues writing.

"How did you know all of this?"

"I hated the Lannister all of my life... I've spent my life trying to take revenge but the war happens... Things get out of hand." Aera said and Catelyn just nodded, she notices that the pen didn't run out of ink but she didn't bother to ask.

Catelyn rolls the paper and gave it to the girl who just places the paper on the bag without checking it, Aera knows what privacy is.

" Before I leave, Lady Catelyn... Don't tell Lord Robb about this his paranoia gives him wrinkles. Thank you" Aera said and put on her mask, as she speeds off.

Unknown to them Robb heard the last sentence of the girl, he tried to follow her a while ago but she disappear but he heard her again and he heard some insults. Catelyn giggles at what the girl said.

"Such a beauty, yet a funny girl" Catelyn whispered. Catelyn took a deep breath praying to the gods to protect her children. She's been asking for someone to protect her children and the gods might answer her prayers.

Robb approaches. "Mother... Who are you talking to?" Robb asked even though he knew.

"No one, I'm just praying," Catelyn said and she continues to make the wooden circle. Robb looked around to check.

Aera arrives in Kingslanding making sure no one saw her, she saw Shae enter the room of Tyrion Lannister, perfect timing for her to sneak in.

Aera looked for the chamber of Sansa. "This fucking big red castle, where do I find that girl!" Aera hissed walking around trying to act like she was one of the people.

"Why did I do this to myself!? Being a messenger... The gods would be proud!" The girl had her own dilemma until she founds a tall red-headed girl entering a room. She followed her.

When Sansa entered her chamber Aera followed her and entered the room. Sansa was startled seeing the woman, she pointed a hairpin at her.

"Oh god, you're tall!" Aera commented Aera is taller than Daenerys but Shorter than Sansa, probably the same height as Margaery.

"Who are you!?" Sansa asked.

"Calm down, My Lady. Your mother sends me here to give you this." Aera said grabbing the letter that Catelyn wrote for Sansa, Aera didn't read the letter.

Sansa lowered her guard and slowly grabs the letter, she opens it and see the handwriting of her mother. "This is from mother," Sansa said and Aera nodded.

Sansa read the contents of the paper and it says what happened this fast few months... And the death of their grandsire. It didn't contain too much information as Lady Catelyn doesn't trust Aera yet.

"My Lady you can write to your mother and I can send it to her... But you cannot tell anyone about me. It's a bit risky" Aera said and Sansa nodded, she hurriedly goes to her desk and began to write.

The girl did not care whether to trust Aera or not because she wanted to write to her mother just to make sure she was okay. "Who are you and how did you manage to enter here?" Sansa asked while writing.

"Um... Actually, I got lost... Luckily I saw you and follow you. I'm Aera, I live far away and the only reason why I'm doing this is that I hate the Lannister." Aera blabbered at the girl. A small smile formed on Sansa's face, they both hated the Lannister.

"Why?" Sansa asked and Aera took a deep breath.

"They kill the people I love. Now, I wanted to help the people who wanted to take them down." Aera said and Sansa nodded. After writing her response she folded it and gave it to Aera.

Aera put it in her bag without even looking at it and Sansa notice this. "By any chance do you know where is Arya?" Aera asked and she knows the answer already.

Sansa shakes her head. "But I know she's alive, Arya is a survivor she won't die that easily," Sansa said and Aera nodded. She was about to leave but Sansa stop her.

"Umm... Tell my mother that I'm not to marry, Joffrey... The Tyrells will." Sansa said and Aera nodded.

"Lady Sansa, do not trust anyone that easily... If I could come back I will. Just make sure you are safe." Aera said and hold Sansa's hand. Sansa stared at the soft hand that holds her and she looked at the girl with a mask.

Sansa didn't know but she trust the woman's gentle voice. Aera leaves before Shae comes back. When the maid come back Sansa didn't say anything, even though she trusted the maid.

Aera was on her way to deliver the message when she saw Brienne and Jaime crossing the bridge that will get them caught. She stared at them until they get caught by Locke and other horseriders.

"Looks like Jaime's Journey will begin," Aera said and move along.

Aera arrives at Riverrun she watches as Edmure Tully struggle to hit the remain of Hoster Tully. Aera is a marksman, Visenya always told her that her eyes could zoom from far away and that will be her asset, and seeing Edmure struggle to hit his mark is hurting the Princess.

In the end, fed up by Edmure Tully's poor marksmanship... Bryden did the job without fail making Aera laughs, she could say that it needs a lot of work for Edmure to fully develop his skills.

Aera watched as the flame engulfed the remain of Hoster Tully, another death has come. Aera stands where no one can see but she can see them all.

Everyone leaves after the funeral and Aera secretly follows Lady Catelyn to her chamber where she's mourning. When Amelia watches the shows she does like the Character of Catelyn even though she's awful to Jon Snow.

As a woman, Aera understands her.

Aera appears behind the woman. "My Lady..." Aera called making the woman turn to her.

Catelyn was surprised at how fast Aera traveled through Riverrun to Kingslanding and Riverrun again, for most people that will take weeks but the girl was gone for only days.

"Aera..." The Lady said. Aera took a letter from her bag and gave it to Catelyn who hurriedly read the paper.

"I also saw Brienne and Jaime on the bridge while heading to Kingslanding, My Lady," Aera said making the woman turn to her, she did not regret freeing the man to make sure her daughter is safe but she regret losing the trust of Robb Stark.

"She has no words for Arya?" Catelyn asked and Aera nodded. The contents of the paper are telling Catelyn what's going on in Kingslanding, how it was Tyrion and not Joffrey who fought in the battle against Stannis.

Tywin is already in Kingslanding as their savior and Margaery will soon marry Joffrey, this gives relief to Catelyn knowing that her daughter will not marry that scumbag.

"Is there a way for you to bring my daughter here?" The woman asked and Aera shakes her head.

"Forgive, My Lady... But I can't. It is too risky for both of us. She's surrounded by guards but luckily I manage to sneak into her room... And she's really tall." Aera said making the woman smile at her last statement.

"Ah.. yes, she's taller than most of us," Catelyn said. "How about Arya? Rickon? Bran?" The woman asked and Aera for sure didn't get to see them all together for it's impossible.

"I don't where they are but I know they are alive," Aera said and the woman frown.

"How could say that!?" Catelyn asked frustrated because the woman is giving her hope without proof.

Aera took a deep breath. " I cannot give proof, My Lady. All I could say is they are smart and they know how to survive... Maybe I could look for them. " Aera said and the woman took a deep breath.

" I'm sorry, I don't even know who you are but your willing to help," Catelyn said and Aera shrugs.

" I never met my mother, she died after giving birth to me. Whenever I looked at you, she reminds me of how she will worry when we're far away from her. " Aera explained which is the truth.

Catelyn felt sorry for the girl who never met her mother, she didn't know the story of the girl but she knows that she's been through so much.

Aera then remembers what will happen next.
