In Dragonstone, the throne room. Melisandre is standing alone in the throne room. Daenerys, Daemion and Aeryn enter, accompanied by Daenora, Aellor, Tyrion, Varys, Missandi, and Gey worm. They approach Melisandre.
Daenora and Aelor Targaryen are squires for today.
Melisandre says "Dārys aeryn. Princes se princesses. Prince daenerys, nyke istan nykeā buzdari istin, sindita se liortan, qilontan se ozbārtan. Ziry iksos nykeā rigle naejot rhaenagon se pryjatys hen belma."
Translate: King Aeryn. Princes and Princesses. Princess Daenerys, I was a slave once, bought and sold, scourged and branded. It is an honor to meet the Breaker of Chains.
Daenerys smiles "Se mele priests dohaertan maghagon peace naejot meereen." Daenerys nods at her uncles.
Translate: The Red Priests helped bring peace to Meereen.
Aeryn smiles "Ao issi olvie welcome kesīr. Skoros iksos aōha brōzi?"
Translate: You are very welcome here. What is your name?
Melisandre says "Nyke called Melisandre."
Translate: I am called Melisandre.
Varys says "She once served another who wanted the Iron Throne. It didn't end well for Stannis Baratheon, did it?"
Melisandre says "No, it didn't."
Daemion says "You chose an auspicious day to arrive at Dragonstone" mocks Daenerys "Khalise've just decided to pardon those who served the wrong king."
Daenerys turns to Varys who bows his head to her. Daenerys turns back to Melisandre "The Lord of Light doesn't have many followers in Westeros, does he?"
Melisandre says "Not yet. But even those who don't worship the Lord can serve his cause."
Daenerys asks "What does your Lord expect from me?
Melisandre says "Se bōsa bantis iksos māzis. Mērī se prince qilōni istan promised kostagon maghagon se dawn."
Translate: The Long Night is coming. Only the prince who was promised can bring the dawn.
Aeryn says "The prince who was promised will bring the dawn."
Daenerys says "I'm afraid I'm not a prince"
Missandei says "Your Grace, forgive me, but your translation is not quite accurate. That noun has no gender in High Valyrian, so the proper translation for that prophecy would be the prince or princess who was promised will bring the dawn."
Aeryn says "You are quite right"
Tyrion says "Doesn't really roll off the tongue, does it?"
Daenerys says "No, but I like it better"
Daemion turns to Melisandre "And you believe this prophecy refers to her?"
Melisandre says "Prophecies are dangerous things" to Daenerys "I believe you have a role to play, as does another. The King in the North, Jon Snow."
Aeryn looks at Melisandre with a worried look.
Tyrion says "Jon Snow? Lyanna's brother? Ned Stark's bastard?"
Daenerys asks "You know him?"
Tyrion says "I traveled with him to the Wall when he joined the Night's Watch. his sister is my brother's wife"
Varys says "And why do you think the Lord of Light singled out this Jon Snow aside from the visions you've seen in the flames, that is?
Melisandre says "As Lord Commander of the Night's Watch he allowed the Wildlings south of the Wall to protect them from great danger. As King in the North he has united those Wildlings with the northern houses so together they may face their common enemy."
Daenerys says "He sounds like quite a man."
Aeryn nods "As his sister Queen of Riverlands"
Melisandre says "Summon Jon Snow. Let him stand before you and tell you things that have happened to him, the things that he has seen with his own eyes."
Aelor says "His sister is in agreement with us"
Daenora says "We can talk to Lyanna and be with us not just protection"
The two brothers give Aelor and Daenora a death stare.
Tyrion says "I can't speak to prophecies or visions in the flames, but I like Jon and Lyanna Snow and I trusted them, and I am an excellent judge of character."
Daenerys smiles at Tyrion.
Tyrion says "If he does rule the north, he would make a valuable ally. The Lannisters executed his father and conspired to murder his brother. Jon Snow has even more reason to hate Cersei than you do" They nod "Would dare I ask, why Lyanna is the queen of Riverlands?"
Daenora says "She became Lady Dondarrion"
Tyrion gives them a confused look.
Daenerys pauses for a moment "Very well."
Aeryn says "Send a raven north. Tell Jon Snow that House of the Dragon invites him to come to Drangonstone...and bend the knee."
Daemion smiles at his brother and turns to Daenora and Aelor "Both of you have work to do in the dragon's pit"
Daenora and Aelor share a look. Daenora says "You kidding, right?"
Daemion says "Is my face looking kidding"
Aelor nods "Right away, uncle" takes her hand "Come, little princess"
Daenora walks with him "Do not call me that, what I am? eleven to you"
Daenerys watches them with a smile.

Lyanna POV
In Winterfell, the courtyard. Young boys and girls are practicing archery with Reagan and Lucaes. Jon, I, Sansa, and Davos stand on the upper level watching the training. Sansa says "Do you think it's really Tyrion? It could be someone trying to lure you into a trap."
Jon says "Read the last bit.
Sansa says "All dwarfs are bastards in their father's eyes."
I smile "It's definitely him"
Jon smiles "Look who is smiling like before, we should get him here"
I hit Jon and laugh "Brother"
Sansa asks "What does that mean?
Jon looks at me "It's something he said to us the first night we met. You know him better than any of us" to me and Sansa"What do you think?"
I say "I never trust any Lannister I meet. But Tyrion and Jaime, I trust them to death"
Sansa says "Tyrion is not like the other Lannisters. He was always kind to me, but it's too great a risk. "The Seven Kingdoms will bleed as long as Cersei sits on the Iron Throne. Join us. Together we can end her tyranny."
Davos says "Sounds like a charmer. Of course, the casual mention of a Dothraki horde, a legion of Unsullied and three dragons, a bit less charming." Davos pauses to ponder something.
Jon asks "What?"
Davos says "Fire kills Whites, you told me. What breathes fire?
Sansa says "You're not suggesting Jon meet with her?"
Davos says "No, too dangerous."
Jon says "But?"
Davos says "But if the Army of the Dead makes it passed the Wall, do we have enough men to fight them?"
Jon gazes back to the courtyard looking concerned "Lyanna?"
I say "It's my island and of course, we will go"
Sansa rolls her eyes and Davos gives me one of the parents' annoyed looks and I smile back at him.

"Of course, I do. I told them I do not wish to marry Aelor and no one listen to me"
Aemon takes a lock of her silver hair "I will marry you. I will not let my brother have you"
Daella pushes him "I am not a property to have me"
"I did not mean that way and you knew that"
Daella sits on the bed "I love Aelor as a brother to me"
Aemon lifts her chin to look at him "I know and I love my brother too so we will figure out something that will not hurt him"
Daella smiles "You promise"
"I promise" Aemon leans to kiss Daella and she put her hand on his chest and kisses him back. Aemon kisses her neck and pushes her to the bed.

In Aeryn's chamber, Daemion and Aeryn sit together "You will pronounce her as the queen"
"It's her right since birth, Daenerys suppose to be the queen, Daemion"
"I do not think so brother. It's Rhaenys right"
"No, It's Rhaegar's son's right"
"What you will do with your children"
"I am going to teach them a lesson. I need to ask you, do you accept her as queen to you?"
"Without the Dothraki of course, she is one of our family"

Casterly Rock, nicknamed the Rock, is a castle and the seat of House Lannister. The capital of the Westerlands, it is on the ocean road and overlooks the harbour of Lannisport and the Sunset Sea.
Nearby strongholds include Kayce and Feastfires to the west, Sarsfield to the north, and Cornfield and Clegane's Keep to the south.
The household of Casterly Rock includes Maester Creylen, Vylarr, Ser Benedict Broom, and Whitesmile Wat.
Casterly Rock is carved out of a colossal stone hill beside the Sunset Sea.[2] It is popularly believed to resemble a lion in repose at sunset.
The Rock is two leagues (six miles) long from west to east and has a width of two miles from north to south.
Its peak is about 2,100 feet high which makes it three times as high as the highest point of the Wall and taller than the Hightower of Oldtown too.
The Casterlys of antiquity built a ringfort on the peak, and as millenia have passed its natural defences have been expanded with walls, gates, and watchtowers.
The base of the Rock contains large sea-carved caverns. The stone has been mined for thousands of years, so there are hundreds of mineshafts in the depths of the Rock, as well as yet untouched gold veins.
The face of the mount has windows and arrow slits scattered all over, they look small from the outside but it is only an illusion due to the huge size of the Rock.
The entire stronghold—tunnels, dungeons, storerooms, barracks, halls, grand halls, stables, stairways, courtyards, balconies, gardens, a sept, passages, caves, mines, galleries, chutes, wells, barracks, armories, bedchambers, servant's quarters, etc.—lies within the Rock itself.
The only exception is the watchtower on the top of the mount which is also used by the maesters as a rookery. This particularity makes Casterly Rock the strongest and most impregnable seat in all of Westeros.
In the bowels of the Rock are rooms where caged lions were once kept, cells for the worst prisoners, as well as oubliettes so small that a man cannot even sit down in one.
The Lion's Mouth, the main entry to Casterly Rock, is an enormous natural cavern reaching two hundred feet high and located on the south face of the Rock.
It is accessible via a great stone stairway with steps wide enough for twenty riders. There are sea gates at the base of the west face, large enough for galleys and cogs to sail into the caverns under the stone, where the Lannisters have their own protected docks, as well as wharves, and shipyards.
However, the bulk of the Lannister fleet anchors in the harbour of Lannisport, the port city that lies close by to the south of the Rock.
From below the Rock, thunder can be heard, where the sea comes in.
The Golden Gallery contains treasures of the Lannisters, including gilded ornaments and walls. The Hall of Heroes is where the Lannisters and their close kin who have died valiantly are interred.
The armour of Lannisters of old is also displayed in the hall. The Stone Garden is a godswood in a cave within the Rock. It contains a twisted weirwood, a tenth the size of Raventree Hall's, whose tangled roots have almost filled the cave, choking out all other growth
In the castle, Myrcella wearing a black dress walks towards Genna Frey "You look worried"
Genna answers "I want to leave but I will not leave you alone here"
"Where?"
"Riverlands"
"Take me with you"
"Would not you back to your mother?"
"No, I am going to stay with you forever, she is not my mother anymore"
"Myrcella!!"
"No, no, she is not my mother, she is another greedy woman who preferred not to surrender the throne and come with me even though she knew, I knew the truth. That is not my throne or hers"
"There is an old prophecy your mother had when she was a little girl"
"And what it is?"
"Cersei would marry a king, become a queen, would have three children who would die before her, and would be taken down by a younger, more beautiful queen."
Myrcella confuses "That means I will die too?"
"You almost and Lyanna protect you"
"At least she came rescued and Mother stayed at King's Landing"
"Your mother asked her"
"Lyanna told me, I know"
"I will take you to Riverlands, after that we will head to King's Landing to talk to your mother"
"I will come with you to Riverlands and will not back to King's Landing and if you told me to talk to Mother again, I will head North alone"
"Do not threaten and be like your mother, Myrcella. You are no such thing as her"
"And my brothers died because of her egoism" She looks outside the window.

In Dragonstone, In the painted table chamber. Aeryn, Daemion and Daenerys gather around the table. Aeryn says "I have not so much in this life, I lived a long beautiful life and had a love that I am glad to have discept it was painful and still hurts, Daenerys" Daemion and Daenrys nod in understanding "Both of us to chose you as queen of this house"
Daemion says "You conquer Essos and that is your right"
Aeryn says "Rhaella was going to let you marry Viserys and take that position"
Daenerys says "So you let me marry Viserys to be the queen"
Aeryn says "No, you will be the queen and we will do the same thing that happens before I and Daemion will choose the king for you"
Daemion says "And you will choose with us but it will be one of this family."
Aeryn says "You have two brothers and my son Aemon"
Daemion says "But that will not happen or talk about it until we take Westeros"
Aeryn asks "What do you think?"
Daenerys says "I agree with you, I will be the queen and later we choose the king"
Daemion says "What matters now is our next move"
Aeryn says "And I have a plan"
Daenerys smiles "And I have mine too"
They smile at each other and start to discuss their next move.

Lyanna POV
In my chamber, I sit on the bed and Daeron sits at the edge of the bed massaging my leg "Really, I do not want" I feel relaxed "Whoa, oh"
"See, I told you, the dragon inside will make you tired"
I laugh "We really do not need this joke"
Daeron laughs "You need it" smiles "Nothing will happen to you like your mother in labour"
"Who said that? I will live, I am a dragon" Daeron smiles and massages my leg again "Why have you never sent me letters?"
"Will you care about it"
"I would, you sent me to King's Landing with Father and you approved the wedding"
"you kicked me out after the tournament and told me to go to Larissa and Daella."
"Because that was the right thing to do, Daeron. You married and lied"
"I never loved Daeron Targaryen's life. First I was Daeron Blackfyre the bastard of Hightower then Sorry Daeron we will give you a name but you will give your right for the throne to Rhaegar and I said yes he is my babe brother and I will gladly give it to him if they consider me one of the Targaryen." Daeron stands walking around the room "So Daeron you are Targaryen do duty you will marry Larissa Valeryon for family duty. But I do not love her father. You will marry her or I will exile you like your uncle. I saw my father going to his madness. my brother was murdered before my eyes and we lost the battle"
Daeron sits again in front of me "I take you and Jon with Lord Stark and changed my name to Tomas Hightower and cut my hair and lived a new life here in Winterfell and that is the most beautiful thing that happened to me in my whole life, being Tomas. I fall in love with you and wanted to marry you, I throw Daeron's life away and forget who I was"
I lean my head "What do you want me to do?"
"I want to be with you and our child, Both of you matter to me now" I open the drawer of my nightstand and take out the necklace and he smiles "You keep it"
I smile "I take it with me to King's Landing but stopped wearing it" I give it to him "Could you?"
"Turn around" I give him my back and he put it around my neck "They say it belongs to our great-great-grandparents. They say Prince Daemon gives to his niece wife Rhaenyra Targaryen to carry his love with him, something that relates them to each other piece from Dark sister"
I put my hand on the necklace "This is not the only thing that relates us to each other"
Daeron puts his hand on my belly "Our child"
There was a knock at the door. Jon gets in "Your husband is here"
I sigh "I am coming" I head to the door "Thank you, Daeron"
Daeron smiles sadly "You are welcome, Dear"
》》》》《《《《
I open the guest room door and Lyonel Dondarrion sits in an armchair. I smile "Lyonel"
We hug. Lyonel kisses my head "I missed you"
"I missed you too"
"Riverlands and Stormlands under your commander, my queen."
"It's happening. It's finally happening. Do you know what this means?"
Lyonel nods "You can move forward."
I hold his hands looking into his eyes "We can move forward. I can unify my kingdom and yours, and we can have a place to be together."
Lyonel smiles "I want to celebrate, too. When it's safe. We should get you back to the castle."
I wonder "But why?" I put my hands on his cheek "No one knows we're here. And we are alone. You are my husband"
Lyonel laughs nervously "Lyanna, we need not rush anything."
I laugh "You have never rushed me. And you have always been by my side. I feel safe with you. You are kind. And strong. And the only man who's ever put my needs above his own."
"And yet we both know I'm not the man for you. I can't keep living like this. The lies, the hiding."
"No more hiding, we will announce we are married and face everyone every day"
"We must leave Winterfell sooner rather than later."
I nod "Okay"
"We are leaving. And your men are prepared to accompany us?"
I smile "They wait only for my word."
"Promise me that when the day comes, we'll leave for Stormsland"
"I will leave all this behind."
"Everything Jaime gives it to you."
"Yes, For my people and for you. I think a lot and that is the right thing, I will keep Riverlands only"
Lyonel holds my hands "Lyanna, we're so close."
"I should hold Riverlands to my son. I am a regent. I... I... I'm not ready! The land, it's too weak. The pieces are not in place. I'm hated by everyone. They want me gone. They'll do everything in their power to make that happen!"
Lyonle argues "Stop it! This is not like you. You're worrying about nothing."
"You have no idea what it's like to be a woman. To be a mother having to face this world alone."
"If you believe anything, believe this. You are not alone."
We kiss passionately and I wrap my hands around him.
Lyonel whispers between the kisses "We should stop now."
I whisper unbuttoning his shirt "I don't want to stop."
"I will wait for you. As long as it takes until you're ready."
We kiss again. I rest my forehead on his "I am ready. To take back my life. The courage to give myself to someone else. To you. It's as you said. You are my choice. And this is our moment" Lyonel kisses my neck and untied my dress. I moan "Now, Lyonel"
We fall on the bed and I put my head on the pillow holding his collar pull him towards me.
Lyonel smiles kisses me and we start making love.
