The time was too late to return home now, so they would ride out on dragonback tomorrow and those without dragons or dragons too small to be ridden would go by boat.
Rhaelys slept peacefully until she was woken by Baela. "Rhae!" She looked scared and in a mere moment Rhaelys had stood up. "What's going on, Baela? You must speak to me if you wish for me to understand what is going on," Baela breathed heavily and Rhae held her hand.
"What's going on, Baela, tell me," Rhaelys said as she turned to her brother. "Wake him up, he can help," Rhaena nodded as she shook Jace awake. "Jace, wake up!"

"It's him!" Rhaena said as she eyed him up and down. "It's me," It was clear that Aemond had ridden and claimed Vhagar. He reeked of dragon as he never had, not even after the pig burned him following the pig incident. "Vhagar is my mother's dragon!" Rhaena shouted at Aemond, tears filling her eyes. "Your mother's dead. And Vhagar has a new rider now," Rhaena shot an angry glare at Aemond. "She was mine to claim,"
