Verena left her dragon after a long ride to clear her head, she didn't know what to do, she had lost her children, and did not know when she would see them again. Rhaenyra had just made it back from Kings Landing when Verena rushed close to her embracing her.
"Thank the gods, Nyra!! I'm so glad you are safe. Things have become more dire, we must strike the next blow. I take it Alicent did not apologise and surrender."
Nyra sighed speaking as they walked into the castle.
"Alicent ascended Aegon because my father spoke about the song of ice and fire on his death bed, the song Aegon the Conqueror dreamed. I agree that we must strike. It is time to win or die."

Verena hated the fact that she had gone to Kings Landing, she understood why, but she still hated it. If anything had happened to her, she knew that would break her. Rhaenyra looks at Jace in surprise before speaking,
"Well, I apologize for my absence and the secrecy, but such was necessary. I went to King's Landing."
This makes Jace more angry, as he snapped asking her to what possible end was she trying to get too. Verena answered in Valyrian,
