THEY HAD WON. AGAINST ALL ODDS, against all enemies and obstacles, the vision that Daenerys Stormborn had when she was still across the Narrow Sea, still a bride and not a Queen, had survived. Through cities the Dragon Queen had travelled, through grasslands and across continents to claim the throne. Daenerys had won the very thing that she had sought since birth, and once again, the might of House Targaryen reigned again.

It had been a chaotic few days after the battle.

Rhaenerys and Arya had returned to Dragonstone (much to the younger girl's dismay), and Robb regretfully had to stay behind as plans to clean up the city began.

He promised that he'd send word to Rhaenerys soon, and he saw both her and his sister off as they prepared to fly back to Rhaenerys' ancestral home.

"I want to ride on his head," Arya had insisted with a wicked grin, as soon she had learned they'd be returning on dragon back.

"You'll do no such thing," Robb and Rhaenerys had said in unison.

Arya rode in front of Rhaenerys despite her grumbling, though it didn't last very long once they actually mounted Rhaegar.

Just as Rhaenerys had predicted, Arya had been thrilled to ride on dragon back. Rhaenerys had never seen someone smile so wide, laugh so loud as they cruised through the skies.

She had an incredible time, and when she and Rhaenerys finally got back to Dragonstone Arya made her promise that she'd take her again.

"I will. That's if your mother doesn't lock you away for all eternity," Rhaenerys smirked. And sure enough, when Arya sheepishly made her way back to the castle, Catelyn had been waiting to give her an earful.

Sansa had never been so pleased to see her mother tear into her sister, and so relived. The delicate Northern girl had own words for Arya that made even Catelyn remind her that she was Lady, not a sailor. But ultimately, Rhaenerys knew that both of them were just relieved to have Arya back.

And when Catelyn finally settled, content and misty eyed as she held daughter again, she looked at Rhaenerys with something like stars in her eyes.

"Thank you," She had said. "For everything."

The next few days on Dragonstone were spent with Rhaenerys recounting what she had seen, telling all the women and children the stories she'd heard from Robb. Cheers of victory had echoed through the bunker when she revealed that Daenerys had in fact been successful, and that Joffery was dead and she was the Queen.

Many women cried and thanked the Stranger for taking him, and Rhaenerys had never seen so many people celebrate a death.

It was well deserved however, the cunt. Rhaenerys still remember the bounty he had put on her head, and the only thing that made her sad about Joffery's dead is that she wasn't there to witness it.
