Thanatos was happy he had finally managed to get his reward for having been so patient, the familiar flavour of his own kind's blood running down his throat was no longer as savoury as it had once been but he felt fulfilled.

"Thanatos, fire" Aurora told him.

Seeing the two legs running away from them, he willed his fire to come out, his throat warming up to very high temperatures when he released the bright green flames from his maw.

The Black army stood back as the dragons lit the field in colourful fires and the air was filled with the screams of their enemies.

Cregan Stark joined prince Daemon and Ser Sebastian, who had captured Lord Jason Lannister, Ser Criston Cole, Lord Otto Hightower and other lords and had them kneeling, although the man in green was trying to resist far more than the others.

Soon, the only thing left of the Green army was ashes and blackened husks. Jason Lannister felt dismayed at the loss of his men but he had known that he would end up having this fate. He had chosen to bring them into battle despite knowing how much more overwhelming the enemy forces were, it was on him.

Aurora and the other dragons landed heavily, the beasts still full of energy as they hadn't had to do much effort in this war.

"All the dragons wouldn't have been necessary at all" Jacaerys spoke with loudly to his brother and making sure the three restrained men could hear him.

The Hightower grit his teeth in anger and decided to leave all reason aside. He had already lost everything, what more could he loose. With an inhuman scream he lunged at the youngest prince, trying to harm at least one of them before they killed him off.

When his hands didn't reach the prince's throat like he was aiming two, he looked down only to scream once the pain reaction reached his brain. Two forearms fell to the ground right after lord Stark had swung his sword leaving two bloodied stumps at the ends of the man's arms instead.

Rhaenys brought her granddaughters into her embrace as the previous Hand let out a blood curling scream and crumbled to the ground.

Aurora had strayed a bit further away from the group to find out what had happened to the two princes. She first found Aegon. The young man had now regained consciousness and was groaning in pain. His legs were bent in opposite directions from which they should be.

The prince was lucky enough to have only broken his legs as he had fallen on softer ground by pure luck.

"You! Come over here!" she called out to a few knights who were re-joining the others as she took a tunic from one of the dead bodies, ignoring the wet blood staining her palms, and tying them as tightly as she could with two broken spears they handed over to her to his legs to keep them straight, that made Aegon scream in pain before he passed out again "Pick him up and take him to the palace!"

The men obeyed her without hesitation and took the prince away, one supporting his torso and the other his legs.

Aurora stumbled over a few more bodies until she found the second prince and the youngest of the four. Daeron had been more unlucky. When Tessarion had fallen his legs had been caught under her body, ultimately leading them to be crushed.

The young child was still alive, but he would not be able to walk again, though Aurora considered it a mercy. The boy had put all his faith in his brother and grandfather which had made him go cripple in the end.

She already had a plan to send him to Helaena in Rooks Rest so the princess could care for her brother like Aurora knew she would love to.

Thanatos lumbered forward from behind her and nudged her back to ask for her attention. Ignoring the smell of death coming from his mouth she tried to embrace his massive head as best as she could. She could almost taste her deserved rest on her tongue.

Cregan made sure Aurora was resting up as much as she could when Rhaenyra announced that the dragon riders would be making their way first to Dragonstone for a few important people, and then straight to Kings Landing to reclaim the throne.

There had also been an arrangement made and, for the first time in history, non-Targaryens would be carried to Kings Landing so the nobles and the noble prisoners could be present at the first judgement with Rhaenyra as queen.

Otto Hightower was being made to ride Caraxes with prince Daemon, something Aurora was sure the prince would enjoy and would be considered a light punishment for the overthrown lord, as Caraxes was known to fly in very serpentine shapes which were sure to make the man feel faint.

Rhaenyra had asked Aurora if it was all right with Thanatos for him to carry Jason Lannister and a few others due to his size. It had been agreed as long as someone else who could handle a sword accompanied them.

And so here they were, the lords were roughly pushed onto the black dragon despite their hesitance and Aurora was having a fun time watching Cregan asking for forgiveness from her dragon as he mounted behind the string of prisoners.

She could see the dragon roll his eyes with impatience so she herself took no time in placing herself in front. She warned them, lowly, to grab on. The men panicked to do so as well as they could with their tightly bound hands and Thanatos took off.

Rhaenyra smiled when she was in the air with the rest of her family on Syrax and laughed when she heard the men she despised so much scream like little girls when the dragons they had been assigned to took off.

Brandon Belgrave received several letters the same morning of the end of the war. Most were of the victory their side had managed to procure, but the ones that had stuck in his mind as he led and envoy to Kings Landing followed by two large dragons, were about a young lord trying to win over his daughter.

"Lord Cregan Stark, huh?" he remembered the name now engraved in his head "I'll be seeing you soon enough"

Ж

On Thanatos, Cregan felt a chill run down his back making him shiver. But he shook it off as the cold wind flowing against the warmth of his body as they flew steadily to Dragonstone, and then, Kings Landing.
