The sea was restless as ships approached Dragonstone. The once-familiar silhouette of the ancient fortress loomed against the horizon, its dark towers reaching toward the sky like the talons of a dragon. The wind howled, whipping Aelora's silver hair around her face as she stood at the prow, her thoughts heavy with the events of Harrenhal and the ominous vision Alys had shown her.
Hellfyre, her two-headed dragon, flew above the ships casting a cloud of shadows over the churning waves. The dragon's presence was both a comfort and a reminder of the burdens she carried. Aelora's heart ached with uncertainty as she prepared to face her mother, Queen Rhaenyra.
As the ships docked, Aelora dismounted Hellfyre, her boots echoing on the stone pier. The familiar smell of salt and smoke filled the air, mingling with the earthy scent of Dragonstone. She made her way up the winding path to the fortress, Hellfyre's roars echoing in the distance as he found a place to rest.

The castle's great hall was dimly lit, the flickering torches casting long shadows on the walls. Rhaenyra sat on a high-backed chair at the far end of the room, her presence commanding and regal. Her long, silver hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her violet eyes were sharp with intelligence and worry.
"Mother," Aelora greeted, bowing her head slightly as she approached.
Rhaenyra's expression softened as she looked at her daughter. "Aelora, welcome home. I've been anxious for your return. How fared Harrenhal?"
Aelora hesitated, choosing her words carefully. "Harrenhal stands with us. Ser Simon Strong has pledged his loyalty to our cause. But there are... complications."
Rhaenyra's eyes narrowed. "Complications? What kind of complications?"
Aelora took a deep breath, her mind flashing back to the vision Alys had shown her. "There is a woman at Harrenhal, Alys. She has... unusual abilities. She showed me a vision, a vision of Jace's death."
Rhaenyra's expression grew grave. "A vision of J-Jace's death? What else does she know?"
"She seemed to know things about me, about us," Aelora replied, her voice trembling slightly. "I don't trust her, but she spoke in riddles. I'm not sure what her intentions are."
