Jon Connington and Aegon Targaryen meet the Golden Company. The route to Daenerys is closed, so the young prince suggests that instead they head West. Connington, infected with greyscale, is impressed. Simon and Mackelly carefully examine their extremities.

Chapter Review
Griff, Jon Connington, leads young Griff, Aegon Targaryen, to the encampment of the Golden Company. They are led to the commander’s tent. Within Homeless Harry Strickland is bathing his sore toes, Connington is not impressed. He’d been uncertain of his reception as he had left the company in disgrace a dozen years earlier. However, the assembled captains appear to be aware of the ruse and the contract with Ilyrio Mopatis to fight for Young Griff. 
The prince’s true identity is revealed to a lack of surprise. Talk turns to how they might get him to Daenerys. All routes seem problematic. Eventually Aegon himself offers an alternative. He is the only dragon they need. Why not go to Westeros and stake his claim there? Daenerys can have Meereen. 
The captains rally to this call and Connington is impressed by his young charge. Aegon is taken to meet the men, with the Young Griff persona back in place. Meanwhile Connington examines his fingers that are clearly showing the signs of greyscale. He hopes that he can live long enough to see his Prince back on the throne and for his bones to be laid to rest in Griffin’s Roost.
