After a few weeks of sailing, Rhaenyra was excited to see Valyrian land up ahead. Rhaenyra could see the castle that once stood on this beautiful land. It wasn't perfect but it was still amazing to witness. Some of the pillars still looked crumbled but it was sturdy and standing. The skies were getting darker as they were approaching. She didn't know if it was naturally stormy here or was something else was taking place. She removed herself from the bow and headed up the steps to tell Captain Haul about the land.
"Do you see it Captain. We should be there soon." She gleamed.
He smiled at her reaction. "Aye, it is, my lady but I do not know how close I can get to it." he said. "There is a storm approaching, we must be prepared." He continued.
She stared at him. "I saw that too. Hopefully it isn't too bad. It should pass quickly." Rhaenyra hopefully stated. "I'm sure you can get close Haul. Just pull on shore." Rhaenyra said being a bit impatient to explore.

Back in Casterly Rock, Tywin Lannister was restless. There was still no word from Rhaenyra and that frightened him the most. He wrote to his son, Jamie Lannister to keep his eyes open to Rhaenyra possibly visiting him in the capital since she disappeared. The only thing Jamie Lannister stated in a letter was, he could not leave his duties to be a father. Tywin never felt more disgusted with his son than ever. Tywin blamed himself for Elaena Targaryen, Rhaenyra's mother assassination. He knew if she was still alive Jamie would have never taken the position of the Kingsguard. Tywin had Lannister men searching for his granddaughter and sent dozens of ravens to all of Westeros rewarding anyone who had solid information about her.
Ser Bellic entered Tywin's chamber. "M'lord, you wished to see me?" he asked.
Tywin nodded. "Yes, please take a seat." He said.
Bellic nodded quickly and sat in the chair farthest away from Tywin.
Tywin continued to stare at him knowing the type of effect he had on people. "Is there any news?" he asked.
Bellic shook his head. "No, nothing yet." He said.
Tywin hummed. "Did Rhaenyra say where she was going the night she took off?" he asked.
"No m'lord, she just said she missed her family and that she was really interested in Targaryen history." Bellic answered.
Tywin nodded. "You may leave now." he commanded. Bellic nodded and quickly left the room.
Tywin ran his hands down his face and continued to write letters.

The journey is rough as they enter the eye of the storm. The rain sweeps across the waters as thunder booms in the distance and lightning strikes in the horizon. The gusts of winds pick up as the sails on the ship loosen and fly away in the distance. Captain Haul tries to maintain the helm of the ship.
"My Lady, get in the cabin. It's dangerous out here." He yelled as a wave crashed into the ship and spilled overboard soaking Rhaenyra.
Rhaenyra shrieked as the cold water hit her body and slipped on the deck falling face first. "Are you okay, my lady." Haul yelled as he steered the helm away from some upcoming rocks. He steered just in time before the ship scraped against the ship.
"Haul!" Rhaenyra yelled as she tried to walk towards the helm. She was losing her balance from the harsh waves crashing against the ship as she was still getting soaked from overflowing waves. As she reached the steps she slipped and ripped her dress. "We need to get away from this storm." She said squinting.
"Aye my lady. We are closer to the shore line now. Hopefully we will survive this storm." Haul said as he said a silent prayer.
Rhaenyra was shivering from the storm. Not only was she cold but she didn't know if she would survive. As they were approaching the shore lines of Valyria, the storm was beginning to clear up. Rhaenyra noticed how clean and unrealistic this island was. It didn't feel real that she finally made it.
"Haul, do you see how beautiful this place is?" she asked as she looked around and saw tall trees surrounding the extinct castle.
Haul unleashed the anchor and looked around. This place was dark and mysterious just as everyone described it. The castle was in ruins and the skies were red and evil. "Rhaenyra, perhaps we should turn back. This place is cursed." Haul stated.
Rhaenyra laughed. "Cursed? This place is beautiful. Don't you see the sun shining bright?" She questioned him as she was looking around hearing birds chirping.
Haul looked around trying to find the beauty she was blabbing about and found none. He believed she was going mad. The skies were not filled with sunlight but full of blood and he could sense nothing but death.
Rhaenyra looked around the ship trying to find a small boat. "Lower it. I need to go on the island." She stated.
Haul looked at her in shock. "We should go back home. This isn't a safe place." He stated trying to reason her.
She shook her head. "No! I did not try to risk my life to go back home. I paid you to take me here. In fact I paid for your ship, not you. You came along for the ride. You can leave if you want but I am staying now lower this boat or I will." She yelled at him.
He bowed and nodded. "I will lower the boat only if I come and protect you." Haul said.
Rhaenyra nodded. "Okay Haul. Thank you." She said as she helped him lower the smaller boat.
Haul went down first as Rhaenyra climbed second. He made sure he caught her as she dropped into the smaller boat. He grabbed the paddles and started to paddle towards the shore. Rhaenyra continued to look forward towards the island. As they continued on their journey the water was becoming shallow.
"My lady, we have to get out and pull the boat on land." Haul stated. Rhaenyra nodded.
Haul placed one foot in the water and began to scream in pain. Rhaenyra looked in the water to make sure nothing was attacking Haul. There wasn't anything near his foot. Rhaenyra stood up and Haul lost his balance and fell fast first into the waters. Rhaenyra hopped out of the boat and tried to get Haul out of the water. She grabbed him and flipped him over so he wasn't face down anymore. She shrunk back when she noticed he was severely burnt; as if someone burnt him with boiling water. She grabbed him under his arms and dragged him to the shore.
"C'mon Captain, you can't die on me yet." She whispered softly to him as she laid him on the beach.
Haul choked out his last breath and died in her arms. Rhaenyra placed him down and went by the waves that were coming on the shore and realized the water was a bit warm but it was not scolding hot like Haul's injuries. She walked back to Haul and closed his eyes and said a silent prayer.
As she was finishing her prayers she heard movement coming from the trees. She looked up and seen two men and a small older woman walking towards her carrying weapons.
Rhaenyra stood up and took out her knife swiftly and took a defensive stance. "Don't come any closer!" she yelled at them.
They chuckled. "We've been waiting for you." The older woman said and smiled as she walked towards Rhaenyra.
"Welcome home." She stated and removed Rhaenyra's scarf revealing her long snow white hair.
