Ami arrived at the Dragon's Welcome and looked around to see if she could find Arania or the others.
Arania was sitting in the common room on the first floor, poring over a book that promised to teach her Meereenese. She glanced up, and noticed a thin and dirty girl, accompanied by an equally dirty man with his arm in a sling. "Trash," she muttered to herself, practicing the word in Meereenese. How could they let such people into a nice inn like this? She waited for them to be escorted out.
"Arania!" Amelia called out, having spotted the girl. She had lost a fair amount of weight and the months under the soon had given her a very dark tan. "It's me! Amelia!" She quickly made her way over to her friend.
Arania heard her name being called and a familiar Westerosi voice. She looked up again and the beggars were approaching her. Before she sneered in disgust, she realised it was indeed Amelia. Her mouth fell open in shock. "Amelia! Are you okay? You're...so dark! And thinner than me! What happened? Where is Vhagus?"

"It's been a long journey, Arania!" Ami said in relief, giving her friend a hug. "Vhagus is... well, I will tell you all in good time. First things first, I need a bath! And some food! Real food!"

She hugged her back, doing her best to ignore the dust and dirt poor Amelia was caked in. "I can take you up to my room. You wouldn't believe the baths in this place. Running water...HOT water...indoors!" She looked at Mooton. "Thank you for bringing her back safely! I believe there is a room engaged for you, as well. Kalvin took the entire floor."

"How water indoors?" Amelia asked, sounding astonished. "Yes, do show me to your rooms! So many things happened, Arania, I don't even know where to start!" Or what to leave out.... "I saw... the big black dragon!"

"So did I!" exclaimed Arania as they headed up the stairs. "It flew over the city, and then the green one chased it away. Apparently it's ridden by the King's insane mother...and thats what you get when you marry sister to brother for such a long time." She pushed open the door to the large room she had shared with Kalvin, who was gone now.

"I know..." Ami said as they entered the rooms. "Oh my... this is impressive!" She began to look around the room, finding one astounding thing after another. "Arania, I met the Queen, the one who rides the dragon - Vhagus... killed her..."

"What? Why would he do that?" Arania was shocked. "Well, that explains why its been two weeks and the dragon hasn't flown by...King Sirius said she flew in once a fortnight."

"Because she was mad!" Ami explained, finally sitting down in a chair. "She was his mother too and... gods, he killed all the other Khals in Vaes Dothrak! He has thousands and thousands of men!"

Arania dropped her books, spilling pages and pages of notes she had taken across the floor. She stared, open-mouthed, at Amelia. "So, what does the King's half-brother..." she swallowed hard, trying to create the family tree in her mind, "What does he intend to do with a dragon and thousands upon thousands of Dothraki warriors?"

"He wants to rule the world..." Amelia said quietly, cursing herself that she had not stayed. They were only his Bloodriders...

She was silent for a moment. "Do you know where he plans to start?" She bent down and began gathering her books and papers again. "We need to tell the King...about his mother and everything this Vhagus has planned."

"He will probably come here first; he hates his siblings," Ami told Arania, getting up again to find the tub and run the water. "I don't know if anyone will be able to stop him."

Arania put the disorganized stack of paper on a table and went to sit on the ledge of the tub. She wasn't too concerned about nakedness, not when this type of news was on the table. "As soon as you get cleaned up, we should demand an audience with the king. How anyone could hate him, I don't understand. Perhaps Vhagus has inherited the madness that seems to afflict most of them." She furrowed her brow, thinking and piecing everything together.

"He doesn't seem mad!" Ami said, shaking her head as she lowered herself into the tub, enjoying the hot water. "He was... methodical, clear thinking... a little strange, but not mad. He hated the fact that his mother and some of his siblings were insane!"
