The Almost Coronation

I wake up to the sun shining through the window in my room, I'm exited for today. I've always dreamt of being queen, of leading a nation and protecting its people. But something didn't feel right, this place didn't need me or my brothers they were fine before we came here.

Knock knock. I hear at my door I turn as Brina enters. She mockingly bows, "My Queen are you ready for today." We both burst out laughing, I've never been one for formalities like being called "queen" that's just not me.

"Oh do be quiet Brina" I sigh. "I don't think I'm ready for today, these people don't know me, what if they don't want a change. What if they won't except their new queen."

"Ri you do realize that everyone who meets you loves you, your such a beautiful and compassionate person. The kingdom shall love their new queen. And if they don't then the woman's legion shall make them." She says and winks at me.

"Well I'm thankful for your extreme loyalty."

"Anytime you're highness, now to the reason I came here, you've received a letter from Westeros, the seal is of house Stark."

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?! Well that was quick, my existence was just recently acknowledged, and I just burned a letter from their king." I say as I tear the seal.

Rileiria Stormborn,
We have just got word that you, the daughter of  Daenerys Targaryen and her two brothers are indeed alive. You've already received a letter from Brandon Stark, but I write this to inform you that he is no longer king. We had our suspicions about your family being alive but we never had proof that the Targaryens still remained. We wish to receive your presence in Winterfell at once. We have many issues to discuss with you. These matters are urgent.
~ Queen Sansa Stark

I reread the letter and though of how she called her brother "Brandon Stark" knowing that he has always been called Bran, especially by his family.

"What do they want?" Brina asks impatiently. As I drop the paper in confusion. "They wish for me to go to Westeros. Which is absurd considering Sansa Stark wished nothing more than to have my mother dead. Yet they urgently need me to discuss something with them in Westeros."

There is no way I would go to Westeros, they obviously want my armies or want me dead. Either way it would be simply naive of me to go. Unless I were to conquer Westeros, but that isn't what I want to do. I have a kingdom here, but what if Westeros needs me?

I stop the arguing in my head and step out of bed and call in my servants to help me get ready.

I decided to wear a gown that represents house Targaryen with our signature red color. The sleeves have dragon heads and I'm wearing my mother's dragon necklace.

As I exit my rooms I'm greeted by my brothers, "Wow you look fierce Ri" Aemon tells me.

"You look like a true queen Ri, you look like your ready for this." Illyrion says encouragingly. "Thank you brothers, but don't settle in too quickly, within the fortnight we will be traveling to Westeros." I explain.

They both look at me with dumbfounded looks on their faces. "What? Rileiria we just got here and now you want to rush off to Westeros." Lyrion asks.

"I know it sounds mad, but look at this place these people don't need us they're all safe and happy here. But I got word for Westeros that our aunt Sansa needs our presence immediately. So we're going, it can only benefit us."

"Sansa? The same Sansa that despised our mother, the same women who is now queen in the north? She would likely kill all of us when we arrive." Lyrion argues.

"Ly, we have three fully grown dragons, two armies, and all three of us are trained in battle. What can anyone do to us? We will be safe and if not we can raise hell in Westeros and take back what was stolen from our family so long ago."

"She has a point Ly, we're basically untouchable as of right now, you think they would dare try to hurt us with the Dothraki and woman's legion at our backs. Plus our dragons, they will instantly fear us. And if they do try something then we have the right to fight and take the seven kingdoms for ourselves. Once and for all the Targaryens will have power over Westeros. We are the rightful heirs after all."

"Well if we die then it's on the two of you, I will take no responsibility in the matter."

"Hmm that was easier than expected." I say smiling.

As we walk into the throne room we're greeted by Daario who looks extremely excited. That won't last for long.

"Ahh our royal family has arrived." he declares.
"About that Daario, I received a letter last night from Westeros my aunt wishes for us to go to her, we have much to discuss." I tell him gently.

"But... you all just arrived here, I thought you wanted to live here and rule." he says almost sadly.

"That's what we intended to do but I soon realized how well of a job you have done here, ruling over these people. They are happy and at peace, you don't need us here. We are needed in Westeros, it's our true home."

He had an understanding look in his face, "Well best of wishes to you all, I had wished to tell stories about your mother but I'm glad you are doing what's right."

"Thank you Daario." my brothers and I say in unison. "So I guess the coronation is off." Aemon says and we all laugh.

"Yes Aemon, we must start our preparations for Westeros fetch me Brina we have much to discuss." I tell to Illyrion. He's always had a thing for Brina which is cute.

Once I'm back in my rooms I go to my balcony, Meereen is certainly a beautiful kingdom, but something in my heart says it's not what I'm searching for. 

Then Brina bursts through the doors, "My Queen." she says as she bows. Which makes me smile. "Go prepare our men and women to set sail for Westeros as soon as they can, get the ships ready. The armies shall set sail as soon as possible with you and my brothers. I shall meet you all in Winterfell."

"But how will you get there?" she questions. "Brina how long have you known me? I'll be flying Furyion of course. If those northerners are planning something we do not know about, then I shall show them just a fraction of my power, just enough to show them who Rileria Stormborn truly is."
