" YES KAHLEESI THESE ARE THE OFFICERS"  Missandei informed them. as Dany and Helaena made their way to a small group of unsullied 

"You did not choose this life," Danny told them in high Valyeria 'but you are free men now and Free men make their own choices. Have you selected your own leader from amongst your ranks?" They stood to the side where the unsullied man stood. 

"Remove your helm." Helaena requested. He did as she asked pulling his helmet off and stepping forward toward them

"This one has the honor," He told them "What is your name?" Dany asked "Grey worm" Helaena looked at Missandei who took notice  "All Unsullied boys are given new names when they are cut. Grey worms, fleas, black wrapped names that remind them what they are vermin" Missandei told them.

"From this day forward you will choose your own name," Dany told them "You will tell your fellow soldiers to do the same throw away your slave name choose the name your parents gave you or any other. A name that gives you pride" Dany finished 

"Grey worm gives me pride it is a lucky name. he told them "The name is the one who was born with the cursed that was the name he had when he was taken as a slave but the grey worm is the name this one had the day Daenerys stormborn and Helaena sunfall set him free," He said proudly 

-

"Yunkai the yellow city" Jorah said "they train bed slaves not soldiers. We can defeat them on the field with ease but they won't meet us on the field they have provisions patience and strong walls if they're wise they will hide behind those walls and chip away at us man by man" Jorah spoke up from his spot

"I don't want half my army killed before I've made it across the narrow sea" Dany told him"We don't need Yunkai Khalessi taking the city will not bring you any closer to westeros or the iron throne" Jorah informed her.

"How many slaves are in there?" Helaena asked  "200,000 if not more" Jorah told her "Then we have 200,000 reasons to take the city" Dany Looked at her proud

"Send a man to the city gates tell the slavers I will receive them here and accept their surrender otherwise yunkai will suffer the same fate as Astapor" Dany told Grey worm as he nodded leaving them. the soldiers lined up along the trail as the prince was carried in. His slaves chained by the neck. 

Dany and Helaena sat in a tent with any in a white dress and Helaena in a white gown with sleeve, Dany's dragons behind her on next to her, Helaena's dragon next to her or on the floor sleeping 

"Now comes the noble Razdal mo Eraz of the ancient an honorable house, the master of men and speaker of savages to offer terms of peace" as he stepped forward their dragons roared but sqeeked at him as he stepped back 

"Noble lord you are in the presence of Daenerys stormborn and Helaena sunfall of house targaryen Queen of the andals and the first men Khalessi of the great grass,  the breaker of chains Protector of women and mothers of dragons" Missandei introduced them both

"You may approach" Dany told him as chair was brought for him by Talia as she went to stand back next to Jorah and Ser Barristan, Helaena looked at man up and down while her arm stroked Syrax as Ser Hallyne stood closet to Helaena as did Ser barristan and Jorah

"Will the noble lord take refreshment?" Missandei asked and he nodded and she poured him a glass he took a small sip putting the cup down 

"Ancient and glorious is Yunkai. Our empire was old before dragon stirred in old Valyria" He told them  "My army has broken against your walls it would be an easy conquest" he informed them as dany tossed a piece of raw meat and the dragons flew around the side fighting for it 

Helaena not once let her face drop with a smirk when she saw his fearful face, Caraxes woke up and lifted his long neck to look at the man before hissing and going back down

"Good our unsullied need practice we were told to blood them early" Dany said 

"If blood is your desire blood shall flow but why? It is true you have committed savages from Astapor but the Yunkai are forgiving and generous people" He said as he clapped his hands

"the wise masters of Yunkai have sent a gift for the silver queen and Red Princess" Two chests were placed next to each of them her revealing gold bars "there's far more than this awaiting you on the deck of your ship"

"our ship?" Danny questioned

"Yes Khalessi as I said we are generous people you should have as many ships as you require" Razdal said proudly  "And what are you asking return?"

"All we ask is that you make use of these ships sail them back to Westeros where you belong and leave us to conduct our affairs in peace"

Helaena looked at the slaves who bowed before them and Looked at her sister "We have a gift for you as well"  Dany looked at Helaena in confusion but quickly saw Helaena's unfazed face so let kept quiet

"Your life" Helaena said sitting up as did Razdal

"And the lives of your wise masters but I also want some thing in return. You will release every slave in yunkai every man woman and child should be given as much food clothing and property is they can carry as payment for the years of service and servitude reject this gift and we will show you no mercy"Helaena said as Dany smiled and looked at Razdal

"You are mad" he told her "we are not Astapor or Qarth, we are Yunkai and we have powerful friends, friends who take great pleasure in destroying you both. Those who survive we shall enslave once more. Perhaps we'll make a slave of you as well" he stood up 

Syrax, Caraxes and Meleys all stood up as Syrax slightly flew on Helaena's lap and let out a roar like squak as did drogon

"You swore me safe Conduct" He shouted 

"We did, but our dragons make no such promises and you threaten their mothers" Dany said as Helaena went back to stoking syrax 

"Take the gold" he demanded and his slaves hesitantly moved forward but meleys who remained on the ground Roared at them as they backed in fear

"our Gold. you gave it to us remember? and we shall put it to good use, you'd be wise to do the same with our gift to you now get out," Helaena said as she sat up again

"The yunkish are proud people" jorah told them. "They will not bend"

"And what happens to things that don't been?" Dany defended
