The Light that Brings the Dawn

Part 6 – Episode 8
Broken Hearts Sully Gains

As the unusual dawn cast its purple hue across the sky, transforming the snow-capped peaks into a spectacle of bright pink, two dragons, embodiments of restless energy, engaged in a dynamic dance above the small, rocky island now encapsulated in jagged sheets of ice.

Drogon, the larger of the two, exhibited a playful dominance in the air, outmaneuvering his sibling with graceful agility. His powerful wings beat rhythmically, propelling him through the frosty air in an intricate aerial ballet.

In a daring display, Drogon descended rapidly, his massive form skimming dangerously close to the frozen sea of turbulent mountains, a tumultuous landscape of icy waves frozen mid-curl. With precision and a hint of audacity, he grazed the peak of one such wave, not pulling up but instead choosing to crash through the ice.

The impact was spectacular. Frozen shards shattered and soared skyward, catching the early light and scattering like autumn leaves caught in a brisk wind. Remarkably, Drogon remained unscathed, his hide impervious to the brittle ice that fractured under his might, disintegrating into a spray as light and ephemeral as snowflakes. The dragon's resilience and strength were on full display, a testament to the formidable nature of these mythical creatures.

In the chamber adorned with the map of Westeros, Jon, with a somber expression, held Dany close. The cold wind from outside swirled through the open walls, enhancing the solemnity of their conversation.

His voice heavy with the burden of destiny, pointed to the map. "The Gods Eye, right here, at the neck of the river. Bran's visions have led us to believe this is where our final stand should be," he said, his gaze meeting Dany's.

Dany's expression was a mix of determination and curiosity, followed his finger to the map. "But why there? What's special about The Gods Eye?" Her brows knitted together in concern.

Looking into Dany's eyes, Jon spoke with a deep sense of gravity. "In the center of The Gods Eye lies the Isle of Faces. It's a place sacred to the Old Gods, where ancient magic still lingers." His voice grew quieter, "It's also where I believe we can confront the Night King at his most vulnerable."

Dany listened intently, her hand instinctively reaching up to touch Jon's face, seeking to understand the profound connection he felt to this place.

Jon's eyes, dark with memories and unspoken fears, gazed at the map. "My parents were married there, under the watchful eyes of the Old Gods. It was where my life began. And in a way, it was where the Night King's curse began, thousands of years ago."

She absorbed his words, sensing the deep personal and historical significance of the Isle of Faces and of his parents love.

Jon continued, a note of resolve in his voice. "It is there he is weakest. Only there can we bind him, and then defeat him." He said looking past the table to the duty ahead. "It is where we both were made."

Dany, her eyes reflecting the fire of her dragons, asked urgently, "But how, Jon? How do we bind the Night King?"

In the dimly lit chamber, the weight of their destiny hung heavily in the air. Jon's gaze was distant as he faced Dany, his thoughts clouded with uncertainty. "It's believed that Valyrian steel can end the Night King," he spoke, his voice tinged with a mixture of hope and doubt.

Dany, her frustration evident in her stance, questioned the logic. "We've tried Valyrian steel before. Why now? Why would it work this time?"

Jon, turning to face her, his expression a blend of earnestness and concealment, replied, "Maybe it's about the right place, the right person." His voice betrayed the lie he was forced to tell. "You don't have a Valyrian steel blade?"
