You May Take My Castle, But You Will Win Only Bones And Blood And Ashes.

“You may take my castle, but you will win only bones and blood and ashes.”

Argella Durrandon, The Last Storm Queen of Aegon’s Conquest

Pre-A Song of Ice and Fire: Alysanne Targaryen (also known as Good Queen Alysanne) & her final years

“The last years of Alysanne Targaryen were sad and lonely ones. In her youth, Good Queen Alysanne had loved her subjects, lords and commons alike. She had loved her women’s courts, listening, learning, and doing what she could to make the realm a kinder place. […] She had loved music, had loved to dance, had loved to read. And oh, how she had loved to fly. […]

All these loves were lost to her in the last decade of her life. “My uncle Maegor was cruel,” Alysanne was heard to say, “but age is crueler.” Worn out from childbirth, travel and grief, she grew frail after Aemon’s death. […] 

She was far too unsteady to fly. Silverwing last carried her into the sky in 93 AC. When she came to earth again and climbed painfully from her dragon’s back, the queen wept.” - Fire and Blood

"Princess Elia was a good woman, Your Grace. She was kind and clever, with a gentle heart and a sweet wit".

You have too much of your father’s heart in you, young Solo
