Neverland // Jon Snow

36. Queen has spoken

'The people are innocent just like the people you liberated in Maureen.'

'The slaves liberated the masters they did that themselves' Daenerys told him

'They are scared anyone who betrays cersei will see their family butchered you cannot expect them to be heroes they are hostages!' tyrion told her 'Thousands of children will die if the city burns.'

'Your sister uses her enemies 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!' Tyrion begged 'if the city surrenders it will ring the bells and raise the gates please if you hear the ringing the bells call off the attack!' Tyrion begged, Elle nodded. Surrender was better than dragon fire.

'Wait for me outside the city you will know when it's time' Dany told Grey worm.

'Your brother was stopped trying to get past our lines. It seems he hasn't abandoned his sister.' Dany told tyrion 'Next time you fail me will be the last time you fail me.' she warned him.

'It's okay Tyrion.' Elle told him. 'I still believe in you.'

'Thank you Elle.' Tyrion said softly but he saw fire in Daenerys eyes.

'Where are you going?' a guard asked as sandor, and arya approached kings landing, approached the capital.

'I am arya stark and I am going to kill queen cersei.' the guard looked between them confused.

'Think about it, if she kills the queen this war is over won't be a siege might not even die tomorrow' Sandor told him

'I need to go talk to my captain'

'Go ahead and talk to him' Sandor said as they rode past.

+++++++++

'I want to be alone with the prisoner' tyrion told jaimes guard.

'We were ordered to stay with the prisoner' he informed tyrion.

'By the queen?'

'No'

'Then whoever it is I'm sure I out rank them by a lot.' He entered the tent where Jaime was being held. 'how did they find you?' tyrion asked and Jaime raised a golden hand. 'Did you consider taking it off?'

'Cersei once called me the stupidest Lannister...' jaime told him

'you're going back there to die with her?'

+++++++

'If you hear the bells that means they surrender. Call off your men.' Tyrion begged them. As they waited for daenarys signal to strike. While arya and sandor got closer and closer to what daenerys was about to destroy.

They pushed through the crowds just in time for the doors locking shut. Jaime was in the unlucky herd that didnt make it, he had to find another way to get to Cersei, to save her. Daenerys rained fire down on euron greyjoys fleet. Burning them to planks. The lannister army shot at the dragon but daenarys wasnt about to lose another child, Rhaegal was her last, Drogon taken from her. Let them all burn. Every last one.

Elle looked over the burning waters that had to be enough to show that Cersei was no match. She grabbed Jon's hands confident that this was going to end quickly.

Both armies stood at attention waiting for their queen to make a command. The sound of Daenerys burning the city could be heard but no one knew what it was until fire rain down breaking through the wall the unsullied army attacked as the Lannister army burned to the ground.

A gasp escaped Elle's lips as she saw people on fire falling before them.

"What has she done.' Elle whispered.

Lannister men that were not burned to ash dropped their swords seeing a losing battle. They screamed to ring the bells. To surrender. But both queens were not ready to give up but cersei knew she was beat, she had to protect her family, herself and her baby, her hand went to her stomach, let the world burn, she didn't care about the world, she cared about herself. The bells rang out, all throughout the capital. Bells of defeat rang out.

Tyrion screamed for the unsullied and Dothraki to stand down the city had surrendered but they weren't listening to him. Daenarys was filled with rage. She was going to burn kings landing to the ground. When her armies saw her rain fire down once again the unsullied and Dothraki followed suit attacking everyone in their path. The whole capital was under attack, innocent or guilty, everyone burned.

Jon tried to stop them but no one was listening he was just a bastard in their eyes and their queen had spoken. The queen Jon had begged them to put their faith in was burning everyone and everything to the ground out of spite. They kept fighting until their queen said otherwise. Back and forth daenarys flew. Burning kings landing to the ground. She didn't care for the people she cared for her power and her rage.

'STOP!" Elle demanded. 'STOP THIS AT ONCE!"

'You are not our queen.' Grey told her.

'I am Targaryen and I saw enough.' Elle told them. 'Daenerys isn't thinking clearly she cant hear the bells up there. stop this madness at once!" Elle demanded. 'No one else needs to die.'

'We go until the queen says to stop.' He corrected marching off.

'Tyrion what has she done?' Elle questioned hopelessly.

They were all going to die. Jon should have spoken up. Staked his claim he could have saved so many lives, but it was too late for that now.
