Rhaenyra's POV:

We had made it to the campsite on time, so we settled in and then made our way to the appointed area of the meeting. It was directly in the middle of both mine and Robb's camps. Ragnar had informed me of his idea that it would be best to leave my dragon until we had made the alliance with Robb but I thought otherwise, why not show off what I have to offer him?

I sent Ragnar along with a handful of soldiers to meet with Robb, as it would only take a little while to get there I let them leave first after waiting 10 minutes I hopped on Balerion's back and took off into the skies.

I loved being up here, it felt truly like freedom, I didn't have to worry about anything other then holding on when we increased speed. I rode Balerion more then Vermithor, which I felt bad for but I think it is because I feel more bonded to Balerion.

I've been in the sky for a while now I should be getting close, I leaned closer and whispered to Balerion "Don't make a sound until they can see us" I didn't know if he could completely understand what I was saying but I hoped he knew.

Robb Starks POV:

My advisers and myself arrived early to the meeting place so we could scout and see if this Rhaenyra would say true to her "word". We didn't find anything that would prove to us she was against the north. About twenty minutes later I saw soldiers carrying the 3 headed dragon, I couldn't see the classic white blonde hair anywhere in sight.

A male on horseback rode forward "Queen Rhaenyra requested that she ride by herself she will be here any minute" I frowned did they really trust her to be safe on her own... well that's what I thought until I looked up after hearing a really loud screech, from the distance it looked just like a bird but as it slowly got closer it got bigger and bigger until it was maybe a tree length away. It was a god damn dragon, Rhaenyra had managed to bring back dragons; if I had her strength behind me when I came for the crown I would definitely win the war.

The dragon landed in front of the adviser and roared out at us, I watched as Rhaenyra climbed off the back of the beast and gave it a rub under its chin before it curled up around her. I felt fear but also awe for the women standing in front of me. She smirked before saying "I hear you are trying to win the crown"

Rhaenyra's POV

Robb Stark didn't answer for a while he just kind of stared at me, I thought maybe I scared him a bit to much until he started specking.

"So your the one they call Queen Rhaenyra, I am Robb of house Stark." he seemed so sweet, way to sweet to be a king "ahh yes that is apparently what they call me, though most friends call me Rhae." I guess he enjoyed what I had said as he gave me a sly smile.

"In your letter you said you wanted an alliance, why?" hmm there is many answers for that question, but he shall only know one as I don't trust him just yet. "I thought having my army would help you win and when I need help you'll be there for me, I thought that it seemed like a pretty good idea." I saw one of his advisers that was sitting behind him reach forward and whisper something in his ear. I didn't know what but from the look on Robbs face he didn't seem to agree.

I waited until Robb said something but it never came, I looked towards his advisers to see if they had anything to say; they looked to each other then Robb. Hmm this might be harder then I thought. "I know that I don't seem like someone who you can trust but I give you my word, if you promise to help me I will be more than glad to give you a helping hand when you need it. If you want I'll give you my dragons to help in any situation, as well as my soldiers and me." after I said this Robbs advisers laughed at me. One of the men open their mouths "I get the dragons and the soldiers but you, what could you possibly offer King Robb in the battle against the Lannister's?" The Dothraki behind me started laughing and talking about what the adviser had said, I tilted my head sideways to hear what they had been saying.

one of the men had said "If only this idiot knows how our khalessi really fights, I wouldn't even want to go against her." after hearing what they had said a smile grew on my face.

Before Robb had the chance to speak to him I thought of something to say "Would you like to see what I can do? I would be more then happy to fight you." the look on the mans face who I later learned was Galbart Glover was priceless, he was so shocked which later turned to fury. Robb stopped anything before it could happen "Rhae, if that's was I can call you?" he asked "By all means" I gave him a smile "Well then Rhae I'm sure you are a strong woman and can fight well but I don't think anyone wants to see the embarrassment of a fine man" I could tell he was trying to help Glover calm down so I thought I'd make life easier for him "I completely agree I don't want to make your men feel lesser, I also would really like to get along with the people of the north."

Robb seemed to be grateful that I was trying to help descale the emotions surrounding the topic. Robb ended up taking me aside and pretty much said that he would like me to meet his mother before he decides anything because he trusts her judge of character. I agreed since I really want this alliance to work because the north is one of the biggest parts of Westeros, I said to him I didn't have my horse as I rode Balerion in, he offered a horse but I offered something better.

It took a while to convince him but he finally said yes, "I will send a messenger first so we don't scare the rest of my camp" I turned to him "we can just fly around for a while before landing to give time to your advisers to warn your camp, that is if it makes it easier for you your grace" "Please if I can call you Rhae, you can call me Robb. I think that might be a good idea I'll let my bannermen know of what needs to be done." Robb walks away from me

I turn and walk toward Balerion who was sleeping, I sat beside his head and leaned against him whilst I gave his head a rub. He opened his eyes and leaned in closer to me I sighed and said to him "We have to impress the northerners, we need them as our allies."
