     "Tyrion Lannister, really?" Rhaella asked her sister as they walked inside of the Queen's chambers.

     "That would be me," Tyrion answered with his eyes wide as ever. Any Targaryen was a sight to see these days, but this one in particular was different; she had a wild look to her, different from her sister, but she was still beautiful.

     Rhaella looked at the imp in the eyes with a hard expression on her face, "I don't trust you." The girl turned back to the Queen's counselors and hugged Missandei and Grey Worm after. "As much as I would love to hear all about why he is here or why there are hundreds of boats outside belonging to the slave masters. I need a bath," with that the princess walked out of her sister's chambers walking inside of her own. As the princess walked inside of her chambers two servants walked behind her, filling her tub with water and lighting the wood beside it on fire to heat up the water. The princess thanked them for it and told them they could go, the princess enjoyed her time alone in the bathtub.

     After the water was hot enough Rhaella stripped of her pants, tunic, and boots before entering the large bathtub. As much as she enjoyed her time in Valyria it felt great to bathe in very hot water, to wash herself with soaps and put oils in her skin and hair. The girl soaked up the hot water and oils, she closed her eyes and enjoyed the smell of the scented candle one of the servants had lit up. The silver girl was almost asleep when she heard the door open and her sister's sweet voice spoke to her, "a bath, really?" Dany asked her sister, sitting by the bathtub.

     "It's not like we have a plan to deal with the masters yet. And I needed it, I have been bathing in a cold river for months," the princess answered, with her eyes still closed.

     "Where have you been?" Dany was so worried about her sister.

     Rhaella just smiled and finally opened her eyes, turning towards her sister. "I was in Old Valyria," the girl said as if that was a common place, and she smirked when she saw her sister's expression change and her eyes went wide.

     "Valyria? Do you know how dangerous that is? How did you survive?" Dany was worried about her sister and the horrors she must have lived in that place, especially considering she was there for months.

     The princess turned her whole body towards her sister and placed her arms on the side of the bathtub. "It was amazing Dany! There is a family that lives there, they have been living there since the Doom," Rhaella said, excitedly.

     "What? How is it possible?" Daenerys was very interested in hearing all about this family living in the ruins of Old Valyria.

     "The same way the Targaryens lived for hundreds of years, marrying family," the youngest Targaryen smiled and sank low until her head was under the water, and she stayed like that until she ran out of air. Rhaella laid her head on the edge of the bathtub and she looked up at the white ceiling, "you know, the Valyrians were the greatest civilization to ever walk on this world, Valyrian was the greatest city ever built, molded stone, towers so high they touch the sky. And when I was there I Gaemon, one of the people that lived there, told me it didn't make sense that they didn't store that knowledge somewhere. But they did Dany." Daenerys' eyes went wide once again, but her sister did not turn towards her, "we found them, underground tunnels, which we can only guess go under all of the city, chambers and chambers filled with books. How to forge Valyrian steel, how to melt stone, all of it Dany, probably in hopes any survivor would find them."

     "All of it?" It was all the Queen could say.

     Rhaella nodded, finally turned her head towards her sister, "we could build a city like Valyria again, an Empire like no other before." The Khaleesi saw a spark on her sister's eyes, a spark she had only seen when her sister was among her dragons.

     "Maybe we could, one day," Daenerys held her sister's hand and smiled at her. The Queen went back to her chambers, she needed a plan, and as she sat at her table thinking of one she hoped her sister would do the same in the bathtub.

     The princess sat on the bathtub until the water was cold, she had thought of multiple ways of defeating the Masters and somehow all of them involved burning their fleets to the ground. The princess finally got out of the tub, she dried her hair and body with a soft piece of fabric one of the servers had laid out for her, she quickly changed into some black pants, her boots, and a red shirt that showed her back with a scale pattern on it.

     Rhaella decided to talk to her sister, the sun would be rising soon enough and she wanted to deal with the Master sooner rather than later. Walking inside of her sister's chambers the princess found Dany sitting at the small table in the middle of the room, and she did not look happy. "What are we going to do?" Dany asked her sister, who just sat in front of her.

     "Well my ideas usually revolve around fire and blood," the princess shrugged her shoulders.

     "As much as I want to burn all of them to the ground, their cities, their armies, all of them, I can't. Because if I do I show people I am no better than the Masters," Daenerys looked at the cup in front of her, her heart was divided and she did not know what to do.

     "I agree, but you are the Mother of Dragons, you have to show them you are strong, we have to serve them with fire and blood. The Masters have done whatever they pleased for years and never been punished for it, they think they are all powerful and nothing can hurt them, we have to show them they are nothing but sheep," Rhaella had fire in her eyes, and Dany knew exactly what they had to do, and so did Rhaella.

     The Queen nodded and turned her head towards the open balcony door, as the sun rose the first rock hit the pyramid, making a loud noise and the great pyramid shake, the two sisters looked at each other and Dany nodded once again, telling her sister to go.

     As the silver haired princess walked out of the Queen's chambers she saw Tyrion Lannister walking inside of her sister's chambers, the princess did not trust the imp but she also knew now it was not the time. The youngest Targaryen put a hood on her head so people wouldn't recognize her, she walked down the steps on the pyramid until she reached the stables, she mounted a horse and galloped out of the city, towards the mountains. Once she reached the mountains she saw Drogon and her red waiting for her, she got down from the horse and walked towards the dragons, Rhaegon lowered his wing and the girl climbed up, sitting on the dragon's back, where she belonged.

Author's note:

So I just wanted to say that this is where I will start changing some things from the show, I just don't like how in the show all of Dany's ideas are burning everything and Tyrion and other man talk her down from it, we all know that is not how she is and I won't have that in my story.
