Synopsis

Arya is training with Syrio Forel before they are due to board ship for Winterfell. Syrio tells her the story of how he became the first sword to the Sealord of Braavos, by being able to see the truth. As they are talking, five Lannister guardsmen and Ser Meryn Trant of the Kingsguard barge in, saying her father wants to see her. Arya and Syrio know that her father would never send Lannister men, and they begin to close on her. Syrio, armed only with a wooden practice sword, kills all five Lannister guards, but is then confronted by Ser Meryn, armored head to toe. Syrio tells Arya to run, but when she tells him to escape with her, Syrio replies, "The first sword of Braavos does not run". Arya retreats, but when she gets near the doors to the Tower of the Hand, she hears fighting and sees dead bodies at the door. She runs for the stables, finding Desmond dead, and sees her chest on the floor. She retrieves Needle, and has to use it on a stablehand who discovers her, killing someone for the first time. Arya enters the dungeons beneath the Red Keep, seeking a way out into the city.
