She landed in the courtyard, where she was met by Ronnel Arryn, the young King of Mountain and Vale. However, Visenya bypassed these hosts by flying up to the Eyrie upon Vhagar's back. A strong host had been positioned at the Bloody Gate, and the garrisons of Stone, Snow, and Sky had been tripled. After Torrhen bent the knee, Visenya parted from her siblings and returned to the Vale, where House Arryn had strengthened their defenses. Following the surrender of King Loren, the three Targaryen siblings parted ways once more, but met soon again at the banks of the Trident, where they awaited the host of Torrhen Stark, King in the North. Visenya had taken an arrow in the shoulder during the Field of Fire, but soon recovered. According to legend, Visenya thanked the gods that Loren had ridden forth to face the Targaryens when she saw Casterly Rock, as she believed that dragonflame would not have been able to dishearten the Lannister king if he had remained inside the Rock.
