54 AC, Elissa petitioned Rhaena to leave once more. Rhaena permitted her request stone-faced, while Aerea wept for Elissa. Neither Targaryen princess knew of Elissa's destination, and she discreetly stole three
dragon eggs from Dreamfyre's clutch. She departed for Driftmark, where she took ship to
Pentos and made her way overland to
Braavos under the name
Alys Westhill and secured an audience with the
Sealord of Braavos, selling him the eggs. With the gold, Elissa financed the building of her carrack, the
Sun Chaser.

Barth, the
Hand of the King to
Jaehaerys I Targaryen, was sent to Braavos to investigate the missing dragon eggs. The Sealord denied having them, but agreed to reduce the
Iron Throne's debts to the
Iron Bank of Braavos.
