Snow Ghost [Jaime Lannister]

Chapter XIII. Head: I. Power Is Power

I continue "The most important person here is you two" I point at Aemon and Viserys.

Daenerys asks "What is the first step?"

Jon to Aemon "You find your brother, and then we will give you a map of the secret entrances to the castle" to Viserys "You are going to take Marcella your hostage"

Viserys snaps at us "What?"

I give Viserys a look "Trust us, Viserys, or me at least"

Jon makes his point "The most important thing now we'll do is get Missandei alive" he wave to them to come close "Give me all your attention and please"

In Daella's chamber, Daella sleeps on her bed. Larissa and I stand together on the balcony, Larissa wipes her tears "I could lose her any time"

I assure her "Maester said it may if these days go well, she will survive"

Larissa looks around "I lost her father, lost uncle Aeryn, I am not ready"

I put my hand on hers "She will survive"

Larissa nods "Where is Rhaegar?"

"I send him to Harrenhal with Laela, after what happened he is safe with his aunt"

"Good what you did if did not Daella sick I was going to send her to Driftamrk but you see"

I look at Daella smiling "My sweet girl, she will survive"

The small company of Unsullied are vastly outnumbered by the archers and soldiers of King's Landing. An Unsullied soldier shouts and the company thumps their spears to attention.

The gate rattles and Qyburn walks out. Tyrion steps forward to meet him halfway between the gate and the Unsullied.

"My lord."

Tyrion says "Queen Daenerys demands Cersei's unconditional surrender and the immediate release of Missandei of Naath."

Qyburn says "Queen Cersei demands Daenerys's unconditional surrender. If she refuses, Missandei of Naath will die here and now."

Tyrion says "Qyburn, you're a rational man."

"Or so I flatter myself, my lord."

"We have a chance here, perhaps our last chance, to avoid carnage."

Qyburn nods "Yes."

"Help me. I don't want to see this city burn. I don't want to hear the screams of children burning alive."

"No, it is not a pleasant sound."

"I- I don't want to hear it. Help me save this city."

Qyburn explains "My lord, I am only a mouthpiece for our queen."

Tyrion corrects "Your queen."

Qyburn says "Cersei is Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. You are her subject."

"Her reign is over. You understand this. Help her understand it."

"We understand nothing of the sort. Your armies are battle-weary and depleted, while ours have been reinforced with the Golden Compan___"
