The sun shone down upon Dragonstone, giving the sea a yellow golden glow, back inside the castle, Queen Aelora settled back into her home, she attended to her guests and made them feel warm and welcomed into her home. Aelora decided to hold another council meeting with her new allies, the Queens mission was to set sail back to Kingslanding, she now had nine dragons by her side, Caraxes, Vermax, Arrax, Luna, Moondancer, Sunfyre, Dreamfyre, Meleys and her golden weapon Vhagar, she had an army of 10,000 including the Winterfell soldiers, and she now had the support of Lord Cregan and Lady Freya Stark.

Aelora was determined to take back her mothers throne and soon make it her throne, but what Aelora didn't know it was only Alicent in Kingslanding, Otto Hightower was banished by his own daughter, however, with Aelora not knowing, the Queen was preparing herself for Otto to have scorpions and an army ready for her return in Kingslanding, nor did her betrothed Aemond knew of this need of his grandfathers absence, however, Aelora readied herself for her first council with her supporters by her side, she put on a scarlet red dress with golden attire gems in it, she gave her mothers crown a glimmer of hope, she gently placed her crown upon her head ready for this meeting.

When Aelora made her entrance, she was the only one in the council room, she started setting the table ready, she gently placed each object onto the glowing board, she then turned to the chairs and pushed them in place, Aelora knew it was early hours in the morning, everyone was probably just waking up themselves, she sat down and played with her object in front of her, looking around at all the different kingdoms on the board, this enraged the Queen, she hated the thought of being the current monarch and yet she's not the one ruling it, instead a Hightower was replacing her throne.

Aemond came through the doors adjusting his eyepatch, he saw Aelora sat alone in her chair playing with the objects.

"I wondered why your side of the bed was empty and her here you are" he smiled.

Aelora looked up at him and giggled to herself.

"Don't you notice anything?" She questioned.

"You've......got your hair tied back?" He smiled sarcastically.

Aelora sighed with a smile, she stood from her chair, and walked over to the Prince taking his hand, pulling him closer to the orange glowing board.

"Look at these kingdoms Aemond, I am the Queen and yet I'm stuck here...."

"It isn't so bad, you're with me." He laughed

"No seriously! These are my subjects.....and get your grandfather is ruling over them on my throne."

"Aelora, this is just temporary, you will sit that throne, and i will burn anyone who stands in the way of that."

The Queen got butterflies for that statement, she began to hold his hand whilst looking down upon the board.

"What of your mother? Is Alicent not coming here?"

"I regret leaving her, I want my mother here more than anyone, but there's a reason why she's staying in Kingslanding, she's probably making my grandfather see reason, I just hope she's alright."

"Your mother will be, I just hoped she received my raven about her coming here, to be with you and your siblings."

"If it comes to it I will fly back there and get her myself." He smiled.

Suddenly, the doors opened with Sir Erryk behind them.

"My Queen, my Prince, sorry to interrupt but your guests and family have arrived for the council."

"Thank you Sir Erryk."

Aelora and Aemonds family all walked in taking their places around the table, as well as Cregan and Freya following behind them. Aelora then sat in her place at the table, she looked around the room seeing the faces that support her, she was confident that she would win this war.
