“Swearing don’t make it true, Hod,” the innkeeper said. “You keep swearing you’ll pay what you owe me, and I’ve yet to see a copper1.” The common room erupted in laughter, and the man with the yellow hair turned red. “It’s been a bad year for wolves,” volunteered a sallow man in a travelstained green cloak. “Around the Gods Eye, the packs have grown bolder’n anyone can remember. Sheep, cows, dogs, makes no matter, they kill as they like, and they got no fear of men. It’s worth your life to go into those woods by night.” “Ah, that’s more tales, and no more true than the other.” “I heard the same thing from my cousin, and she’s not the sort to lie,” an old woman said. “She says there’s this great pack, hundreds of them, mankillers. The one that leads them is a she-wolf, a bitch from the seventh hell.” A she-wolf. Arya sloshed her beer, wondering. Was the Gods Eye near the Trident? She wished she had a map. It had been near the Trident that she’d left Nymeria. She hadn’t wanted to, but Jory said they had no choice, that if the wolf came back with them she’d be killed for biting Joffrey, even though he’d deserved it.

When the tale reached Lord Mooton, him and his sons swore they’d put an end to her. They tracked her to her lair2 with a pack of wolfhounds, and barely escaped with their skins. Not one of those dogs came back, not one.” “That’s just a story,” Arya blurted3 out before she could stop herself. “Wolves don’t eat babies.” “And what would you know about it, lad?” asked the man in the green cloak. Before she could think of an answer, Yoren had her by the arm. “The boy’s greensick on beer, that’s all it is.” “No I’m not. They don’t eat babies...” “Outside, boy... and see that you stay there until you learn to shut your mouth when men are talking.” He gave her a stiff shove, toward the side door that led back to the stables. “Go on now. See that the stableboy has watered our horses.” Arya went outside, stiff with fury. “They don’t,” she muttered, kicking at a rock as she stalked off. It went rolling and fetched up under the
