Three bloody years I spend fighting at the Stepstones. Men fighting for me, men fighting for House Velaryon. Half of them dead, rest is tired or hungry. To be honest, I'm also tired of this war. The only thing keeping me going are letters from Rhaenyra. Letting Rhaessa with her was a good choice, she wrote they manage to repair several houses and turn them into Healing Houses and places where children could learn basic things, like reading and writing. She needs to gain the love of her people, or they never accept her as their Queen. I want to see her succeed, but it won't happen while I'm here. With me on Aegarax and Laenor on Seasmoke, we manage to destroy a big portion of The Triarchy fleet, but those bastards keep hiding in the caves, archers attack us.

''If you do not seize control of this war, My Lord, the crabs will soon dine on all of us''

''And with what ships Lord Vaemond??'' I asked and turn towards my men, I could see they too were tired, they want to go home ''Rations are on their way, but I get your desire to end this war soon as possible My Lord''

''Prince Diargon'' getting my attention I see Targaryen guards approaching war table ''I bring word from His Grace, Viserys Targaryen, first of his name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm'' taking the letter from him, I undid the seal and start reading my brother 's message

''I have ordered 10 ships and 2,000 men to set sail from King's Landing to join the effort in the Stepstones. Thought, time and circumstance have seen us estranged; know that it is not my desire to see you fail in your cause. It is instead my hope that this aid will deliver the victory that has thus far evaded us. I shall pray nightly to the gods for your safe return.''

''Here...'' handling him the letter and could feel anger and fury boiling up to the surface ''He wants to help now!! After 3 years, he's sending men to aid us!!''
