-Who are you? - curious question Eyra

-I am Melesy Berg; my mother was the best friend of Queen Emelyn and she was also her handmaid- explains Melesy

-As is possible, more than 100 years have passed- notes Eyra

-From the conquest of Westeros, not from my birth; I have 90 name-days, I could be considered a witch because I have lived so long. My mother had me ten years after the death of Emelyn and Daeron in 29 a.C- explains the old woman and continues saying:

-The name is Melesy because it is what Emelyn would have given to her future daughter; my mother called me so in honor -

-Your mother was the lady of...- asks Eyra

-It was the lady of Meridian- reply Melesy

-So you are the mother of ser Aren- says Eyra

- No, I am his dear grandmother, my son is the Lord of Meridian- explains Melesy, before Eyra could answer, another voice came in:

- Grandma, here you are, you made me worry, I couldn't find you anymore- talk to Aren, then he notices Eyra's presence and says:

- Hello, Princess, I'm glad you're awake. Did my grandmother disturb you? -

-Not at all ser Aren, Lady Melesy's company is very welcome- explains Eyra

-Oh, please, don't call me Lady Melesi. It sounds so formal. Call me Lesy_ explein the old lady.

-Of course, Lesy, can I ask a question? - asks Eyra, helping the old woman sit on the fountain

- Of course my dear- reply Melesy

-How can you speak the high Valyrian? I thought only the Targaryens knew this- notes Eyra.

- Bisa iksos nykeā olvie vestriarzir. Ao ūndegon, issa muñnykeā emagon va moriot issare isse rūsīr se Targaryen kesrio syt issa istan Aegon muñar sȳrje raqiros, sīr tolvie jēdar pōnta zirȳ, se bona skorkydoso issa muñnykeā, Jocelyn, gūrēntan se udrir. Ziry ziry naejot Emelyn se pār, tolī, naejot issa; nyke ziry naejot issa tresy qilōni ziry naejot Aren        (This is a very interesting story. See, my mother has always been in contact with the Targaryens because my grandmother was the best friend of Aegon's parents; so, every year they went to visit them and that's how my mother, Jocelyn, learned the language. She also taught it in Emelyn and then, later, me too; I also taught it to my son who taught it to Aren) - explains Melesy

- Skoros nykeā kustikāne, bisa mirre iksos daor ivestretan isse se tembyr, aōha muñnykeā ivestretan ao bē se skoro syt (So coll, this thing is not told in the history books, your mother has, by chance, told you why) - asks Eyra

- Kessa, yn ziry ivestretan issa mērī hen vestriarzir; ziry iksos vestretan bona Aegon, tolī ziry gūrēntan hen morghon hen Emelyn se zȳhon lēkia, istan vēdros se Rhaenys se Visenya olvie mundagon. Se hāre naejot erase mirre hen lanta valonqari, jittan issa muñnykeā naejot Meridian naejot mīsagon zȳhon, se vēttan ziry qopsa naejot zȳhon. Pōnta sylutan naejot Mos Eisley, yn pōnta māzigon tolī, konīr istan daor se syt se tolie oktion     (Yes, but she told me only one part of the story; it is said that Aegon, after he learned of the death of his brother ad Emelyn, went mad and Rhaenys and Visenya became very sad. The three agreed to erase all traces of the existence of the two boys, they sent my mother to Meridian to protect her and made it difficult to locate the city. They tried to save Mos Eisley, but they arrived too late, there was no hope for the other cities either) - says Melesy and adds:
