[Letter] It Is Only Fair

#5B 55 AC

Highgarden

Maester Unwin was so proud of his little pupils. This generation of children was particularly troublesome. He was finding the youth of today less able to read and write compared to the previous ones. To fight that troubling idea, he began a writing program with a few of his most troubled students. Alyssa Tyrell, among a few others, did not take well to reading and writing, but when he gave her an opportunity to send ravens, she jumped at the idea. She had at first wanted to send a raven to the King, but thankfully Maester Unwin was able to talk her out of such a silly notion. Instead, a letter would be sent to her beloved Aunt Isabelle, who spent most of her days between the Red Keep and Driftmark.

They had spent the last day working through the letter, and Unwin was so proud of it. Alyssa was turning over a new leaf, and was turning into quite the wordsmith. She had even insisted on accompanying him up to the rookery.

But as the pair made their way up the stairs, disaster struck! Maester Unwin tripped and fell over. It seemed little Olyver had played a trick on him, with some spilt wine at the top of the stairs. Alyssa, instead of joining in on her brother's laughter, actually scolded him and helped the maester grab his bunch of letters that were sprawled on the ground. He felt a tinge of pride at her turnaround, as she was finally becoming a responsible little Tyrell.

Once in the rookery, he took back the letters she collected and went about the task of sending them out. His hip was hurting after the tumble he took, so he was quick to send off the letters he was prescribed to send and get to some desk work.

Unfortunately, he did not notice the letter she switched out.

A raven would arrive at the King. It is written in a child's scrawl.

King Jayhairus,

My name is Alyssa Tyrell and I am seven years old.

Last moon Master Unwin told me that Targaryens have a WHOLE BUNCH of dragon eggs! So many!! But i sad to report I have ZERO dragon eggs.

That is NOT FAIR.

You should send me one right away. Hear is why I deserve a dragon egg!

I am a REALLY good horse rider. I ride super fast on my horse Sunny Daze, Sunny IS NOT pony by the way. She is a real horse!

I will sit on the egg every single day until it hatches into a baby dragon. I bring it anywhere i go I promise to be good egg holder.

I PROMISE super hard that I will not break it. i will be very careful!!!!

Please send the egg to Highgarden right away!!!!!!!

IMPORTANT NOTE! When you write back, you have to send the letter directly to ME. DO NOT give it to Maester Unwin or my momma or anybody else. Write "To Alyssa" on the raven's letter because this is MY dragon business and not theirs.

ps - my favorite color is yellow
