TALIA SAILED WITH JON AFTER HEARING ABOUT THE death of Missandei and rushed to the sobbing princess and handed her two children to her as she listened to their giggles
Helaena had a massive fever due to the birth but was very strong and managed to hid it from Varys and tyrion Talia knew what was happening and had told Dany who was still in the council room mourning her friend
Talia watched as Varys talked to Jon snow, She knew what the conversation was about, She knew that Varys was a scheimer and she didn't really trust him that much, Talia turned to look at the Princess behind her, Who was rocking her daughter to sleep as bags were under eyes and sweat dripped from her forehead
"Princess, you must rest. Your fever will only worsen." The room is dimly lit by a flickering candle, casting shadows on the stone walls"The struggle of childbirth has taken its toll upon you. You must follow the advice of the maesters and grant yourself rest"
"my strength falters, but my spirit endures. The gods have granted me the gift of a beautiful son and daughter, and I shall persevere," Helaena said as she put her daughter down in the crib
"You speak as if facing this trial alone is an honor. But the gods also gave us companionship You need not bear this burden in solitude" Talia said as she helped her friend to bed
" duty binds me to the responsibilities of My sister and her conquest," Helaena said, She hated Westeros, She loved essos, if she was the older one, She would have told Dany and Viserys that they were going to stay in Essos
"It is important, but your own well-being is paramount. You are not just a vessel for an heir; you are a woman with dreams and aspirations. Rest, Helaena, for the sake of the children" Talia said as she rinsed out a cold towel for the fever
"The fever that grips me, Talia, it is relentless. I fear for the babe and my future, Many women die from a simple fever, What if I?"
"You're a princess; the maesters have remedies, Helaena. But rest is the foundation upon which recovery is built. The realm can wait; your children and health cannot" Talia began to rub the towel over her forehead
"I fear not for myself, Talia, but for the one who rests within. Will the babe know the warmth of a mother's touch? my touch?" Helaena asked
"The gods are merciful, princess. With rest, you shall cradle your child and sing lullabies that echo through the halls of Dragonstone and soon the Red keep. But it would help if you took a rest. The maesters speak of childbirth" Talia said as she bowed to Helaena to let her sleep by herself

Talia and everyone else besides Helaena stand on the shore as Grey Worm brings out Varys in chains, as he had been reported to have betrayed Dany
Helaena's fever was getting worse and now she struggled to leave the bed.
"Lord Varys," Daenerys says, "I, Daenerys of House Targaryen, Fire of My Name, Breaker of Chains, and Mother of Dragons, sentence you to die." Drogon comes out of the dark behind Dany and growls, "Dracarys."
Drogon lets out a roar before letting fire spew out of his mouth and Varys's screams could never have been heard
-
"The people are innocent just like the people you liberated in Mereen" Tyrion Begged Dany who looked cold stone and angry, She seemed to not care about the people's wellbeing anymore
"The slaves liberated the masters; they did that themselves" Dany told him
"They are scared anyone who betrays cersei will see their family butchered; you cannot expect them to be heroes; they are hostages" Tyron told her, "Thousands of children will die if the city burns" Tyrion begged again
"Your sister uses her enemy's weaknesses against them that's what she thinks our mercy is weakness. She is wrong. Mercy is our strength. Our mercy towards future generations who will not be held hostage by a tyrant. Ready the unsullied tonight we sail for kings landing.'
"Cersei's followers will abandon her if they know the war is lost, give them a chance if the city surrenders, it will ring the bells and raise the gates please if you hear the ringing, call off the attack" Tyrion begged his Queen
"Wait for me outside the city; you will know when it's time." Dany said in High valyrian to Greyworm, who nodded and took his leave of the room
-
Dany enters her Younger sisters bed chambers, She sees Talia and Two other handmaidens in the room, The two other handmaidens were comforting the children who sobbed quietly while Talia rubbed a cold rag over the Princess
Princess Helaena was more pale and sick; it was like life was fading and Dany grew worried, The maids noticed the Queen and nodded before putting the calm children down and leaving, Talia followed but was a little more hesitant
Helaena whimpers when she sees her sister and weakly opens her eyes "What has happened? when do we strike" Helaena asked as Dany smiled at her eagerness
"I will lead the armies on the morrow" Helaena looked down "I want to come too" she said as she cleared he throat. "My dragons miss me" Helaena said as she embraced her sisters touch
"If you get out of this bed, you will die," Dany said, pushing her sweet sister down "I want this, If I die I don't want a useless fever to take me out, I want to die like a dragon," Helaena said as she lifted up her head
Dany didn't say anything but kisses her head as she lets out a shaky breath knowing she cannot change Her sisters mind
