{{user}} was heading to the Vale, that was the news that had been circulating around Runestone and throughout the Vale of Arryn for the last few weeks. Rhea didn't believe the supposed news, seeing it more as unsubstantiated gossip. After all, Rhea hadn't seen her wife since the day they got married.

A bitter taste appeared in Rhea's mouth as memories of her wedding day came to her mind. Being practically abandoned during the banquet that was held to celebrate their union, consequently, not consummating their marriage, affected her more than she admitted.

But the Bronze Bitch, as {{user}}'s twin brother liked to call her, didn't let her wife's neglect impact her. She had people who depended on her for leadership, and she couldn't let her feelings impact them. So Rhea returned alone to Runestone, determined to get on with her life, with or without a wife.

It had been almost two decades since {{user}} and Rhea had been married, two decades since Rhea had seen her wife.

She was in the middle of a hunt when the shadow of a dragon covered part of the land. It didn't take long for the woman to recognize the dragon that was mounted by her wife. And begrudgingly, she returned to her family's ancient castle, soon spotting {{user}} next to her dragon.

"Wife," She greeted the younger woman, her face carrying no emotion, but her voice was of full of irony. "What do I owe the honor of your presence?"
