Tywin Lannister and his men resided in the ruins of Harrenhal for now just until the Starks made their next move.

"Is that mutton?" Tywin asks as Arya placed the food on the table. She nodded. "Yes My Lord." She said.

Tywin sighed. "I hate mutton." He stated. Arya looked at the plate and quickly picked it up. "I'll take it back into the kitchen, my lord. I'll get something else for you." She said.

Tywin started to walk over to her. "Have you eaten?" he asks.

Arya nodded. "No, not yet. I'll eat in the kitchens later." She said.

"No you aren't. Sit and eat." He said. Arya opened her mouth to say something. "Eat." He commanded.

Arya sat down and took her fork and dug right in. "So good, my lord." She said with a mouth full of food. Tywin chuckled. "I suppose you have been underfed all your life." He states and observes her. Arya just nodded her head and continued to eat.

Tywin walked over to the window. "This will be my last war, win or lose." He says.

Arya swallows her food. "Have you lost before?" she asks.

Tywin looked at her. "You think I'd be in my position if I'd lost a war?" he questioned. Arya just shook her head no. "And this one I will be remembered for." He starts as he faces out the window again. "'The War of Five Kings' they're calling it. My legacy will be determined in the coming months. You know what legacy means?" he asks.

Arya shook her head again. "It's what you pass down to your children and your children's children. It's what remains of you when you're gone. Harren the Black thought this castle would be his legacy. Greatest fortress ever built. Tallest towers, the strongest walls, the Great Hall had thirty-five hearths. Thirty-five? Can you imagine? Look at it now. A blasted ruin. Do you know what happened?" he asked.

"Dragons." Arya stated. Tywin nodded. "Yes dragons happened. Harrenhal was built to withstand an attack from the land. A million men could've marched on these walls and a million men would've repelled. But an attack from the air, with dragonfire. Harren and all of his sons roasted alive within these walls. Aegon Targaryen changed the rules. That's why every child alive still knows his name, three hundred years after his death." He said.

"Aegon and his sisters." Arya stated. Tywin raised his eyebrows in confusion. "Hm." He said.

"It wasn't just Aegon riding his dragon. It was Rhaenys and Visenya too." Arya said remembering her favorite heroine.

"Correct. A student of history eh?" Tywin said.

"Rhaenys rode Meraxes and Visenya rode Vhaghar." Arya stated.

Tywin nodded. "I'm sure I remember that when I was a boy." He said.

"Visenya Targaryen was a great warrior. She had a Valyrian steel sword called 'the dark sister'." Arya said with a smile on her face.

"She's a heroine of yours I take it. Aren't most girls more interested in the pretty maidens from the songs? Jonquil, with the flowers in her hair?" he asks.

"Most girls are idiots." Arya replied. Tywin smirked. "You remind me of my granddaughter Rhaenyra. I'm sure the two of you would get along. So where did you learn all this stuff about Visenya and her Valyrian sword?" he asks.

Arya went to open her mouth to reply when the door burst open revealing a woman suited in front armor only. Tywin stood in his seat as Arya observed this newcomer. She was obviously a woman but what struck out the most was her hair color. She looked just like a Targaryen and that made Arya more curious.

"What a coincidence. I was speaking about you." He said.

"Well I can only imagine what you told this poor boy." She smirked and at across of Arya and next to Tywin.

"That's a girl Rhaenyra." Tywin stated. Rhaenyra looked over Arya and nodded. "What's a girl dressed like a boy for?" she asked.

"Safe to travel." Arya replied.

"What's your name?" she asked

"Arry." She replied. Rhaenyra nodded and turned towards her grandfather. "So what were you talking about?" she asked.

"We were discussing the history of Harrenhal and how it fell with Aegon and his dragons." He said.

"And his two sisters Visenya and Rhaenys." Arya piped in. Rhaenyra chuckled. "She is right. Extraordinary people." She said.

"So I imagine you are one of the girls who love adventure and love to explore. Do you really believe that dragons exist?" Rhaenyra asked Arya.

"I believe so. I heard that down in the dungeons of King's landing there were lots of dragon skulls. They could have existed one point." She stated.

Rhaenyra nodded. "Yes I heard that as well. Do you still believe dragons exist?" she asked the young girl.

"I don't know, my lady. No one has seen one." She stated. Tywin decided to intervene since he didn't want many people to know about her dragons.

"Obviously I see you are empty handed. I take it the negotiations didn't go well?" he questioned.

Rhaenyra bit her lip and faced her grandfather. "I made a deal with Robb Stark and if he is smart enough he will take it. But I doubt it since he is too arrogant." She stated.

"What deal did you make?" Tywin pressed.

"A simple threat grandfather, but I have a new plan for the King of the North." She said.

Tywin leaned forward. "Go on then." He stated.

"Well perhaps we get the Boltons on our side. Roose Bolton from what I heard is a man of greed and would do anything to gain power." She stated and rose from her chair. "We can promise him something he always wanted." She said sternly.

Tywin chuckled and rose out of his seat as well. "I already took charge of that plan Rhaenyra. You made useless negotiations and I had to do everything all on my own like I normally do. None of my family can do anything right. These plans should have been carried out by now but instead I waited on you." He said in disgust.

"Then why ask me in the first place?"Rhaenyra asked angrily.

"I wanted to see how good your skills were but I was wrong." He said and left the room.

Rhaenyra sighed and sat back down. Arya was still seated at the table listening in to everything. Arya couldn't believe that they were going to try to use someone that her brother trusted just to take him down.

Rhaenyra looked at Arya who was clenched a knife in her hand. "Are you going to kill me Arya?" she asked.

Arya looked shocked. "My name is Arry." She stated and stood up. Rhaenyra reached across and held Arya's arm in place. "Relax; I knew who you were when I entered the room and especially now after looking into your eyes. You have the same eyes as your brother Robb." She said.

"How can I trust you when you talked about having my brother killed?" she said angrily.

"I don't want your brother killed but I would like him to start listening. Plus it's the cost of war. Your family shouldn't have taken my family prisoner. Beginning with my uncle Tyrion." Rhaenyra stated.

"Is that what you think happened? Is that what they told you? That my family started everything?" she asked.

"It's the truth, my grandfather told me himself." She stated.

Arya shook her head. "Your family took my father as a hostage and then killed him." She said. Rhaenyra shook her head. "If I know you aren't lying then I'll believe you but I won't have this talk in this room or at this castle. There are too many ears." Rhaenyra stated.

"Where would we go?" Arya asked. Rhaenyra smirked and took her hand off of Arya's arm. "Do you trust me enough to leave here? I swear no harm will come to you. I'm not like everyone makes me out to be." Rhaenyra stated.

Arya bit her lip. "Yes but if you try anything I'll kill you." She stated. Rhaenyra smirked. "Oh I figured. I know you wouldn't go down without a fight." She said.

Rhaenyra led Arya down a small corridor and made sure no guards were around. They sneaked out of the castle and into the courtyard where majority of the men were. She kept Arya close to her as they walked out of the courtyard.

"Aye, where are you going with the cupbearer?" one man asked.

"I'm taking a walk with her. Is that a crime?" Rhaenyra asked.

He nodded. "That's Lord Tywin's cup girl. He wouldn't be too happy about her leaving here." He said.

"Well you tell my Lord Tywin, that Rhaenyra Lannister said the girl and I needed to talk and explore. And if he doesn't approve he can tell me himself." Rhaenyra snarled and walked out of the gates with Arya.

"Where are the horses?" Arya asked as she looked around. Rhaenyra smirked. "I have a horse but she's away right now. But I have a surprise for you." She smiled.

Rhaenyra brought out her Valyrian sword that was hanging on her side as she began to swing it side to side. "What are you doing?" Arya asked.

"Just wait." Rhaenyra said. In a few seconds Elaena and Anogar swooped down and landed near Rhaenyra. Arya couldn't believe her eyes. There were two dragons in front of her and with a Lannister.

"But you're a Lannister. How did you get dragons?" Arya asked.

Rhaenyra chuckled and pet Anogar's head. "Only half. My mother was a Targaryen. Now come closer so Elaena can recognize you." She said. Arya cautiously walked next to Rhaenyra. Rhaenyra grabbed her hand and held it out to Elaena and Anogar. "Ilvi issa. Jeme lanta behave and no harm shall come to her. Do you understand?" she questioned her dragons.

Elaena leaned her head and breathed in Arya's scent and allowed Arya to pet her. "They're beautiful." Arya said.

"They are. Now let's go." Rhaenyra said as she jumped on Anogar and Arya scooted on Elaena. "C'mon." Rhaenyra yelled as they flew into the sky. Arya held on tight as the dragons knew exactly where to go. She couldn't believe she was really riding a dragon. She grinned thinking of how many adventures she could go on if she truly owned a dragon.

Elaena dipped after Anogar towards the privacy of the mountains. They landed smoothly as Rhaenyra got off first and went to help Arya down. "That was incredible." Arya stated.

"I know. The freedom of flying and feeling invincible." Rhaenyra stated and sat down near Anogar's wing. Arya sat down on the grass by Rhaenyra. "My family didn't cause this." She said softly. "When my father got anointed being Hand of the King everything was going okay at first but then I overheard men talking about killing my father, so I told him but he didn't believe me. It was the Kingslayer who injured my father. They kept us in King's Landing before Joffrey killed my father. My father's friend got me away from there and I had to pretend I was a boy just to be alive." Arya rambled.

Rhaenyra sighed. "My family told me that your mother took my uncle for injuring your brother Bran and that's why my father injured yours." Rhaenyra said as Arya looked at her. "Your father is the Kingslayer?" she asked. Rhaenyra nodded. "Yes. Your family made all of these rumors about him and his sister being intimate together and they took him prisoner. When I met your brother Robb I made a deal asking him to take me instead and to give back my father. I'm more valuable to my grandfather than his own son." She finished.

"Who are you fighting for?" Arya asked.

"Myself." Rhaenyra replied. "In case you haven't noticed. I have Targaryen features that make me stand out more. There are many people who want to see me dead. I have to fight to keep myself alive. I never bowed down to any King nor do I want to be on the throne. Loyalty is what I fight for. I am loyal to my family just like I know you are loyal to yours." Rhaenyra said.

"Then how can you be loyal to a family who has lied to you just to get you to fight?" Arya asked.

"It's all I know. I grew up in Casterly Rock with no one around. I had my grandfather around but no one visited me. The only person who never listened to my grandfather was my uncle Tyrion. He always came by and gave me books on the History of Westeros. My father was in the Kingsguard so I never saw him that much or heard from him. But I never gave up hope. I always dreamt that he would come and be a true father but that day never came. My mother was killed during the Rebellion by one of Robert's men. They almost killed me as well but Tywin Lannister wouldn't allow that." Rhaenyra stated.

"I'm sorry that happened. Everyone was looking for you a while back. Where did you go?" Arya questioned trying to learn more.

"I went to Valyria and I met some people who helped me learn about myself. I also hatched these dragons. They're still babies so they would only get bigger. Now enough about me; do you know how to fight?" she asked.

"Yes, my father got me a dance teacher in Kings Landing, his name was Syrio Forel. He was a great teacher." Arya said.

"I heard he was the best. I always wanted him to come to Casterly Rock to teach me." she said.

Arya smiled. "You're not how I imagined you to be." She stated.

"Oh and how did you imagine me?" Rhaenyra asked.

"Like the Mad King. They all called you crazy and said you killed for the fun of it." she said.

Rhaenyra laughed. "I love how many people perceive me. I think it's funny." She said. Arya smiled and laughed with her. They stayed in the mountains and talked until the sun went down. "We should head back." Rhaenyra stated.

"Can't you take me with you when you leave?" Arya asked. Rhaenyra sighed. "And where would I take you?" she questioned.

"My family. You met my brother you know they want me back. You can take me there." Arya said.

Rhaenyra nodded. "I don't know. I've grown to like you Arya and I would hate it if I took you back to your brother and their camp was ambushed. The Lannister men would not spare your life." She stated. Arya just looked at her. Rhaenyra caved in. "Okay but I have to go back to Harrenhal first." She said.

Arya nodded as Rhaenyra stood up and helped Arya up. "Let's go." Rhaenyra nodded and helped Arya on Elaena as she jumped on Anogar. They flew back to Harrenhal. Rhaenyra and Arya jumped off the dragons and headed back inside the gates. She held Arya's hand and walked back into the castle. "Wait in the kitchens and I will come get you. Just be ready to leave." Rhaenyra whispered to Arya.

Arya nodded. "Okay." She said and ran to the kitchens. Rhaenyra walked up the stairs into Tywin's chambers. "Did you have a nice chat?" Tywin questioned her. Rhaenyra nodded. "I did. She reminds me of myself. I think I made a new friend." Rhaenyra smirked.

"You have received a Raven from the King of the North. What deal did you make Rhaenyra?" he asked sternly.

Rhaenyra glared at her grandfather. "A deal that can get my father back." She stated.

"Fine! Once you get your father back, you need to go to King's Landing. Stannis is coming with a fleet to take King's Landing. We need to defend the Capital against him. You will help." He said.

"Why should I help?" she asked. Tywin knew that she wouldn't fight for a King. "Your uncle Tyrion is the Hand of the King and he is planning to defend the Capitol himself. He needs help. The Capital does not have that many men. With the help of your dragons we can fight off Stannis." Tywin stated.

"Why are my dragons getting involved?" Rhaenyra asked.

"They are creatures not pets, Rhaenyra. Your ancestors used them for war and they won. We will do the same." Tywin stated.

Rhaenyra sighed. "You know I'm going to leave. I can't stand to look at you right now. I will go to King's Landing and defend my uncle. I will decide if I will use my dragons not you." She said and stormed out. Rhaenyra ran towards the kitchens and noticed Arya waiting patiently. "Are you ready to go?" she asked. Arya nodded and followed Rhaenyra.

They waited until the coast was clear and they headed towards the dragons. Arya hopped on Elaena while Rhaenyra hopped on Anogar. They flew towards the Stark Camp in the Riverlands. They swept down and landed in the woods again. Arya looked confused. "Why have we stopped?" she asked. Rhaenyra looked towards her. "They don't know about my dragons. I always keep them in the woods." She replied. Arya nodded and jumped off.

Arya walked next to Rhaenyra as they made their way towards the camp. A few guards stopped her. "What business do you have here?" he asked her as he held out his blade.

"The King of the North requested to see me." Rhaenyra stated. The guards looked at one another. "Who are you?" the other man asked.

"Rhaenyra Lannister. Now take me to him." she stated. The guards laughed and grabbed her arm and led her towards Robb's tent. "Your Grace, Rhaenyra Lannister is here to see you." He said. Rhaenyra looked around and noticed Catelyn Stark and Roose Bolton were in the tent with Robb. Robb looked up from the table and noticed she didn't come alone.

"My Lady." Robb started. "Where is my father?" she asked.

Robb looked towards his mother and back to Rhaenyra. "There has been a slight problem with this deal. It seems my mother had an agenda of her own and let the Kingslayer free to go back to King's Landing." Robb sternly said.

"So what was the purpose of me even coming here then? If you think the deal is still on the table; you're dead wrong. But I do have something that belongs to you." She stated.

"What?" Robb asked.

Rhaenyra moved slightly to the right and let Arya see her family. "I've brought back Arya for you." She said. Catelyn immediately stood up and walked closer to Arya. She took both her hands and brushed some of Arya's short hair away from her face. "Arya." Catelyn whispered and pulled her daughter into a hug. Arya wrapped her arms around her mother and squeezed her tight.

"Where did you find her?" Robb questioned. Rhaenyra looked over to him. "She was at Harrenhal with the Lannister Army. I got her out safely." Rhaenyra replied.

Catelyn looked over Arya's head towards Rhaenyra. "Thank you." Rhaenyra nodded. "You're welcome. You may think I'm like my family but I'm nothing like them." she stated and looked away. "I have to go to King's Landing, so I best be on my way." She said.

"Wait, after everything I promised you still walk away even though I never kept my word. Why?" Robb asked.

Rhaenyra shrugged. "Like I said, I don't want to be like my family. One good thing came from this. You have one of your sister's back. Now just protect her from this war or I'll have to come back and kick your ass again." Rhaenyra stated.

"We will keep her safe." Robb promised. Rhaenyra nodded and looked at Roose Bolton. He nodded towards her and looked away. Arya left her mother's embrace. "You're leaving already?" she asked.

"I have to. I have another battle to deal with." Rhaenyra said. Arya hugged her. "There's something Syrio Forel always told me." she started. Rhaenyra nodded for her to continue. "What do we say to death?" she asked.

Rhaenyra shrugged. "Not today." Arya finished.

Rhaenyra chuckled. "I'll keep that in mind. Don't worry Arya we will meet up again. I promise." She said as she hugged Arya and left the tent. She walked into the woods and jumped on Anogar and took off to King's Landing.
