Therefore, they were very familiar with the situation of the Governor's Mansion.
Even now, the notes left by their ancestors still record things about this mansion, such as a very important matter for the sisters: there was a Dragon Nest in the Governor's Mansion, where Dragon Eggs were stored.
The sense of danger quickly disappeared, but the sisters did not immediately leave their hiding place.
Instead, they waited quietly for a while, and only when they were absolutely certain it was safe did they crawl out from the underground hole beneath the ruined stone pillar.
Ayla and Yara had identical appearances, and their Valyrian features were very prominent: purple eyes and silver hair.
The only difference was that one's hair color was silver-gold, and the other's was silver-white.
Simply based on their looks, both were top-notch beauties, but their flaw was that they shared one body.
Even in Matarris, known as the City of Monsters, two-headed people were still anomalies among anomalies, monsters among monsters.
Just as humans discriminated against deformed people, deformed people would also discriminate against the even stranger two-headed people, and because the number of two-headed people was extremely rare, passing merchant caravans were also more willing to pay a high price to buy them.
After Ayla and Yara's parents died, their parents' good friend tried to sell them to a passing Meereen slave owner.
But his malicious intentions were quickly sensed by the two sisters, and they took advantage of his unpreparedness to kill him in retaliation.
Now, the sisters trusted no one but each other; whether in Matarris or the Land of the Long Summer, they acted alone, without companions.
This was perhaps the reason they had been able to live safely for so long.
One of them kept a watchful eye on the surroundings, while the other stealthily moved through the ruins.
Soon, they entered the Governor's Mansion and then crept along its edge towards the cliff facing the Smoke Sea.
According to their ancestors' notes, the Governor's Mansion's Dragon Nest was on the cliff edge.
However, when the sisters crept into the nearby area, they found many Oros people gathered there, roughly two to three hundred or more, making it impossible for them to approach the Dragon Nest.
However, what made them feel even stranger was that with so many Oros people gathered there, they did not sense any danger, as if in their perception, these Oros people were harmless.
"What do we do now?" Ayla asked Yara directly through their minds.
Although Yara was the younger sister, she was more decisive than Ayla, and many decisions, like the current one, needed to be made by her.
"Go hide over there; they shouldn't stay here for too long," Yara quickly made her decision, pointing to a dilapidated tower not far away.
Ayla nodded in agreement.
The sisters then carefully traversed a small section of ruins and arrived at the base of the dilapidated tall tower.
They found a small hole they could crawl into, entered the tower, and then climbed the stairs to the broken section of the tower body above.
There, they found an excellent hiding spot that allowed them to conceal themselves while also overlooking the surrounding area.
Still as before, one person looked out to check the situation outside, while the other sensed for danger in the surroundings.
Yara, observing the outside, noticed that the Oros people seemed to be performing some kind of religious ritual.
They had tied the captured treasure hunters who had come to Oros to stone pillars on the large platform outside the Dragon Nest, with the Smoke Sea, constantly filled with poisonous smoke, beyond the platform.
Yara was no stranger to religion; in fact, she and Ayla were devout followers of the god of calamity, and they both hoped to save enough money to make a pilgrimage to Calamity City.
Several years ago, during a great plague, both sisters fell ill and were close to death.
Later, a god of calamity ascetic monk, who was on his way to Slavers Bay to resolve the plague, saved them when he passed through Matarris.
From the god of calamity ascetic monk, they learned about Calamity City, knowing it was a happy and peaceful city where everyone had food and shelter, and no one would starve or freeze.
All of this came from the protection of the god of calamity, and their salvation was also thanks to the god of calamity.
Furthermore, they could feel that the ascetic monk looked at them without any discrimination, as if they were ordinary people, and so they, too, began to have faith.
When the ascetic monk left, he gave them a necklace with the holy emblem of the god of calamity, saying that as long as they wore the necklace and went to Calamity City, they would receive protection and no longer have to live in daily fear like they did now.
