Rhaenyes had too many opportunities to live. She could have killed all the greens at the coronation, she could have agreed to Daemon's request for them to double team Vhagar and they likely would have won, or she could have retreated after her and Vhagar killed Aegon and Sunfyre. She was bound and determined for this to happen.

[@melvinmacaulay711]

So here it is yeah when Vhagar and Aemond took down Sunfryre with Aegon and she was leaving she looked back she knew at that moment AEMOND is dangerous very very dangerous and here is the thing right when great dragonriders and dragons who have experienced combat fight/clash or ride together/dance like Daemon and Laena did in season 1 they can instantly tell how good the other is and all just like how duelers and swordsman can have those convos in a fight after clashing swords so she knows that Aemond is a terrible threat and their best time to beat him is while he doesnt have enough combat experience that was only Aemonds 2nd Dragon fight right and after each fight the bond between rider and dragon deepens they synergize better and all so letting him go then would only make him stronger she saw a chance to stop this jaugernot who only gets better with time there and then she knew it was slim but took the chance and either she or Daemon have the best shot of getting Aemond the goal when fighting Aemond is not Vhagar but to unseat aemond or burn him which is what she tried when she went under because Meleys is more agile but VHAGAR BEING A SUPREME WAR VETERAN CAUGHT ON AND LATCHED ON TO MELEYS LEG BEFORE she could get behind her and hurt Aemond and after that clash she was disorented and she was leaving you saw that she was flying past the castle over the bay towards dragonstone and as she was leaving she was searching for Vhagar but Aemond being a prodigy used the castle to hide Vhagar just like he did at storms end so Luke didnt see him when he landed its tough to watch but her actions where 100% valid

Rhaeyns could not leave because the Greens army was still advancing and Vhagar was still there. If she left, word would get out to Rhaenyra's allies that her dragon riders leave battles and the allies have to face the Greens large army and dragons on their own.

[@roadhigher]

If she had managed to take out Aemond and Vhagar she would have won the war right there and then, she would have killed both Aegon/Sunfyre and Aemond/Vhagar, leaving the Greens with Helaena/Dreamfyre, who has no war experience and not in any way ready to fight after the murder of her son, and Daeron/Tessarion who is young, inexperienced and all the way in Oldtown, while the Blacks would still have Rhaenys/Melys, Rhaenyra/Syrax, Daemon/Caraxes, all with years of experience and capable dragonriders, not to mention the numerous other dragons at their disposal. If it went just a bit better for her the war would be over at Rooks Rest.

Nah it wasn't about all that. She stayed to fight because they were already losing support with every castle that Cole takes and this was the keep of a member of the Black council. If word got out that she was sent to protect that guy, but ran away the first time she could the rest of their supporters would be hesitant to stay loyal. Daemon is having enough issues rousing an army in the river lands and if word got out that their most experienced rider runs like a coward, the river lands would not stand with him. She also knew that she at least had a chance to do some damage, but as soon as she saw it was a 2v1 she knew she was gonna die.

If the showrunners didn't decide that Vhagar could hide behind a small castle, I think Rhaenys and Meleys could've injured Vhagar more before dying. Even in the book, it's stated Aemond and Aegon didn't want to attack Rhaenys and Meleys alone because they didn't think they could beat them alone. So they surprised her together. In the show they deviated and made it seem like it was a trap set by just Aemond and Cole, and Aegon was being an idiot. Even then, the struggle between Meleys and Sunfyre led to Sunfyre and Aegon being downed after Vhagar's attack, and Vhagar was taken down initially in the fight between Meleys.

Aegon is not a bad king at all, just a young king. He always listens and he had the idea of sending vhagar to fight. He grew up fatherless and kinda motherless, he felts unloved and yet he is a good father to his twins. He wanted to break the cycle with his son, nobody teached him anything he has the will to be better. And now his baby got murdered days ago, he is still grieving losing his temper and Alicent can't even comfort him, her son is screaming for help and love and she just bring him down more. Thats why he smiled so happy when he saw Sunfyre he is the only one who truly loves him unconditionally right now. Literally his soulmate he is the only one who brings light to his screaming soul (beside his daughter but she is a toddler) Pd: Idk why Alicent has the nerve to trash aegon so much, just a day ago she let rhaenyra their enemy ESCAPE instead of having her captured. She failed their war so bad and acts like aegon is not doing the job.

[@gailf1617]

According to the book on which the show is based, neither Meleys nor Rhaenys have any battle experience. Rhaenys is older and smarter than Aegon, but Aemond has had extensive military training and the biggest dragon in Westeros. Rhaenys is a great king's grand-daughter and the daughter of a prince killed in a military campaign. She promised to go to battle for her queen, not to go and leave the battle unfinished. I believe that Rhaenys feared that if she didn't do her best to badly wound Vhagar, Vhagar would soon harm Rhaenys' own husband and/or grand-daughters, as well as Rhaenyra and Rhaenyra's children, as well as many allies. Rhaenys died a dragonrider's death.

Vhagar is the largest dragon but Melys is the Blacks largest dragon. If the Blacks want to win they will have to take out Vhagar eventually. Thats why she went back. The King went down, and she did manage do ground Vhagar temporarily. If she came up on Vhagar still grounded the Blacks could have won then and there.

[@Dwhite690]

The smartest move would be jumping vhagar with melys and as many other dragons available. The best play was leaving after killing the king “that was a win for the day “ and running . Nobody stopping vhagar 1 on 1

@@Dwhite690They don’t have time for this. They could do this, but it could kill all the heirs to the throne making all this destruction meaningless. Rhaenyra can’t risk it, her son can’t risk it.

[@aglioeoilo]

What type of message would Rhaenys be sending if she abandons the people who raised their banner for Rhaenyra just because battle got tough? The only reason they were in that predicament was because they supported Rhaenyra and if Rhaenys left them what’s stopping other houses to declare for Aegon? She’s already on thin ice with other houses because people think she’s a kinslayer so Rhaenys leaving could have been a final nail in the coffin for some other lords.

[@qcosteur]

Rhaenys could litteraly end the war here. That's why she stayed. The 5 biggest threats of Team Green are here : Aemond/Vaghar, Criston Cole, and Aegon/Sunfyre. Aegon/Sunfyre were out, and she was doing well against Vaghar. It was her duty to try. A success would have given the victory to Team Black

[@mrcrossovermark1153]

Those three kingsguard are his buddies. Also i think the reason she kept coming back was because of finding out about corlys’s bastard. She mightve been really hurt about that

[@aglioeoilo]

I’d rather believe Rhaenys knew that Vhagar was the biggest threat so she chose to sacrifice herself in hopes to either hurt either Vhagar or Aemond. She knew she had no chance of killing Vhagar, but she could at least do something. Reducing it to her feeling hurt by Corlys’ bastard sons diminishes her sacrifice. In the entirety of season 2, she supports Rhaenyra’s aversion to war and after Rhaenyra’s confession she met with Alicent kinda solidifies Rhaenys’ decision to fully support Rhaenyra which why she chose to sacrifice.

[@mrcrossovermark1153]

@@aglioeoilo a sacrifice is a sacrifice no matter what. It only meant that she was ready to die. Either way the whole purpose of her continual attack was to hurt vhagar but you could see her demeanor what her resolve was. Thats just based on my interpretation.

[@Allaiya.]

Alicent is such a cold mother. I actually feel bad for Aegon. He never wanted to be King and they didn’t really train him up for it. He seeks love or support from Alicent but she never gives it. No wonder him and Aemond have issues. Such a dysfunctional family.

[@rightmunted7538]

She didn't have to beat Vhagar, if she just hurt Vhagar enough to stop her from being able to fight the rest of the war would be easy work.

[@thatssuperepicc]

My theory is Rhaenys knew she had no chance against Aemond and his dragon so she attacked as best she could to injure Vhagar for the future battles to come.. putting Vhagar at a disadvantage being injured.

[@stwartic4296]

Rhaenys and Meleys could have fled at any time after injuring Sunfyre but Rhaenys chose to fight. I hope the Blacks will use this battle as reference. I don't like how the Blacks, apart from Daemon are not ready to be ruthless. They're trying to fight an unjust war with dignity. It's time for ruthlessness. Only Daemon seems to understand this fact. It's sad because they've now lost their biggest dragon. They had the numbers to win the war easily but the numbers are now dwindling quickly. If only team black would just go all out!

She went back because she was there to fight and defend the castle. The circumstances changed and she got jumped but her mission was still the same. The looks of her and her dragon accepting their deaths was spot on. They already knocked the king out. Maybe by luck they could injure Vhagar or both go down together. She knew she was dead if she went back, but her mission was to defend the castle. Its also implied she feels guilty because if she had killed the royal family back in season 1 episode 9 it would have prevented the war, so her deciding not to run and fight as much as she can may be her making up for that

The problem with Team Black is that they don't really have a plan. Team Green has been plotting, making moves, advancing, slowly gaining ground without outright assaulting Team Black while Rhaenyra has had Team Black on standstill, refusing to take decisive action. And that's biting them in the ass right now because they're basically way behind

[@purplequeen833]

Team black but it is frustrating that they haven't really took action except for rhanys but I feel like in the second half of the show the blacks are gonna more centered and start to make their plans. Greens are making plans but they are dysfunctional. Aegon killed innocent rat catchers, losing morale with his people and firing Otto who is probably the smartest one on the greens, making Cole hand even though he barley does his job, Alicent and aemond don't respect aegon at all. Aegon getting on his dragon drunk when that wasn't the plan. Aemond trying to kill aegon. Aegon is now burnt.

[@alexanderwiles2003]

i actually think its a little unfair to say aegon has had zero good ideas considering every time he mentioned vheagar going with cole they said no, even though that ultimately is their plan and also he is never given any actual advise or accurate information so hes just like a dude who hasnt done this before trying his best.

[@ArthurKnight1899]

you guys HAVE to keep in mind that Aegon never wanted to be the king, he was forced to, boosted his ego by everyone, never thought skills or love by his mom or granddaddy, who already was on this way to usurp the throne despite what viserys decison was. and even when he asked his mom for help, he was belittled and told to shut up. you gotta feel bad for him, and Aemond attacking his own brother, king no matter how bad he is, is a bitch ass attitude. everyone on green side thought Daemond will kill his brother for throne but it's their own who is doing that. AND aegon didn't know Rhaenys is coming to battle with dragon, he just wanted to be part of the war and control one thing he could, that is his dragon, Sunfyre. feel bad for him too actually.

In my opinion here’s the reasons why rhaenys keep coming back: 1. She’s fighting for the rookrest, it’s a shame to just flee in battle 2. Rhaenyra did said she wants Aemond Targaryen, she probably think it’s the chance to fight Aemond 3. Any dragonrider would rather die being a dragonrider

It was a small keep, but the strategic significance of holding it was very important. The lord of the keep sits on the black council and is one of the more important supporters of rhaenyras claim to the throne. The greens taking that keep will give them control of most of the nearest coastline to dragonstone and any troops trying to move onto the mainland from that island has to have their ships go around to a different region which would take longer to assemble their forces to meet cole in the field. There was no running from the battle.

She stayed because if she ran, it would weaken the resolve of Rheanyra's supporters. They hinted at this earlier in the show. If Rheanyra ran at the first sign of trouble and abandons her supporters, who would fight for her? Rheanys is the one who asked Rjeanyra that very question. That is why she first turned around as she realized her running here would weaken Rheanyra more than her death. She turned around the second time because Meleys reaffirmed her decision. They both decided to fight to the death.

[@roseofthegarden_]

I think Rhaenys didn't want to have it said she once again flew off without trying to take down the Greens. Daemon been on her ass ever since she didn't roast them, making her feel guilty, and maybe a part of her does because Luke died because Aemond was still alive, and the Greens are still causing chaos by having usurped the throne. So she said she'll die trying to finish this.
