In a heartbeat, all of them were pulling on clothes and snatching for whatever weapons they owned. Arya ran for the gate as the horn sounded again. As she dashed past the barn, Biter threw himself furiously against his chains, and Jaqen Hghar called out from the back of their wagon1. “Boy! Sweet boy! Is it war, red war? Boy, free us.
