Nymeria was waiting for her in the guardroom at the base of the stairs. She bounded to her feet
as soon as she caught sight of Arya, Arya grinned. The wolf pup loved her, even if no one else
did. They went everywhere together. Nymeria nipped eagerly at her
hand as Arya untied her. She had yellow eyes. When they caught
the sunlight, they gleamed like two golden coins. Arya had named
her after the warrior queen of the Rhoyne, who had led her people
across the narrow sea. That had been a great scandal too. Sansa,
of course, had named her pup "Lady." Arya made a face and hugged
the wolfling tight. Nymeria licked her ear, and she giggled.

Reading Comprehension

In 1519, Hernan Cortez led his army of Spanish Conquistadors into Mexico. Equipped with horses,
shining armor, and the most advanced weapons of the sixteenth century, he fought his way from
the flat coastal area into the mountainous highlands. Cortez was looking for gold, and he was sure
that Indian groups in Mexico had mined large amounts of the precious metal. First, he conquered
the groups and then seized their precious gold. His methods were very organized. Initially, Cortez
defeated the Tlascalans, and then formed an alliance with them to defeat the Aztecs, their
enemies. Because of an Aztec prophecy about the return of Quetzacoatl, a legendary god-king
who was light skinned and bearded, Cortez was believed to be a god and was received by the
Aztecs with honor. Later, this warm welcome turned to mistrust and hatred when the Spaniards
mistreated the Aztec people. Eventually, the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan, fell to the Spaniards.
Cortez had Tenochtitlan razed and built Mexico City on its ruins.
