The Lady Laena Velaryon had died.

The sun almost seemed to notice the demeanor surrounding everyone at the funeral, choosing to take its place behind the clouds as the ocean waves crashed against the cold rocks near the shore and the wind blew through the air and through everyone's hair. Silence reigned over the people.

Lady Laena went into labor with her third child, and when she realized she wasn't going to live, despite all the pain, she went out to find her dragon and said the one word that many dragons couldn't refuse.

Dracarys.

The largest dragon of all the realms, the dragon that belonged to Laena, had hesitation in her eyes before doing as she asked, and Laena Velaryon was burned alive, killing herself and the baby inside.

Maegora was pressed to Rhaella's side as she watched Vaemond Velaryon.

"We join today at the Seat of the Sea to commit the Lady Laena of House Velaryon to the eternal waters, the dominion of the Merling King where He will guard her for all the days to come. As she sets to sea for her final voyage, the Lady Laena leaves two true-born daughters on the shore. Though their mother will not return from her voyage, they will all remain bound together in blood. Salt courses through Velaryon blood. Ours runs thick. Ours runs true. And ours must never thin." Vaemond announces in High Valyrian, some eyes glancing to Rhaenyra and her sons.
