Image
Danesery Targeerean and Kraznys mo Nakloz's Unsullied Danesery Targeerean visited Kraznys mo Nakloz from Slaver's Bay. She  saw  Kraznys mo Nakloz  had eight thousand Unsullied from Astapor, and Danesery secretly freed 7,999 Unsullied. She just left one, Greyworm! In the morning, Kraznys mo Nakloz said, "I'm going to go count my Unsullied!" "Oh, you don't need to go," said Danesery. "I'll go count them for you." "Well," said Kraznys mo Nakloz, "show me each Unsullied up high so I can see them from here." Danesery went out to gate of Slaver's Bay and lifted up the one Unsullied so Kranznys mo Nakloz could see it. "One!" she said. Then he told the Greyworm to run back to the gate and come out again like the first time. "Two!" she said. And she did that until Kraznys mo Nakloz thought he had counted eight-thousands Unsullied. But it was Greyworm the whole time, the rest were on their way to freed

I love sleep/nap stuff during the announcements. I have been struggling to sleep at night for the past couple of weeks. I have tried things like the 'Calm' app and melatonin but nothing has worked! I would describe myself as 'The Dolphin'                                                            The 4 Sleep Chronotypes                                                            

Extra Credit Reading: Week 9

 Tacoomah and the Anansi's Eggs - once again i love stories like this, witty  - i did not think that the story would end the way it did. It is very creative mind to come up with a conniving ending like that.  - after reading the other tiny tales, the relationship between Tacoomah and Anansi is a little weird and it seems like they flip against each other often in odd ways.  - i try to think about how i can incorporate this into GOT characters  - i want to use characters i havent used in my pervious stories. (Joffery v Tyrion, Brann v Jamie, Arya v Hound/Walter Frey/ "Arya's list:  Joffrey,  Cersei , Walder Frey, Meryn Trant, Tywin Lannister, The Red Woman, Beric Dondarion, Thoros Of Myr, Illyan Paine, The Mountain" Biography: https://microfables.blogspot.com/2020/08/tacoomah-and-anansis-eggs.html Author: Laura Gibbs                                                                                    TinyTales of Anansi
