In the painted table chamber Tyrion enters, stopping at the threshold "Your Grace?"

Daenerys does not reply. Tyrion walks cautiously to Daenerys, who stands, looking out at the shoreline "There's something you need to know."

Daenerys says "Someone has betrayed me."

Surprised, Tyrion does not answer right away "Yes."

Daenerys says "Jon Snow."

Tyrion says "Varys.

Daenerys says "He knows the truth about Jon."

Tyrion says "He does."

"Because you told him. You learned from Sansa. And she learned from Jon, though I begged him not to tell her. As I said, he betrayed me."

"I'm glad Sansa told me. I am your Hand. I need to be aware of any threats you're facing."

"And Varys?"

"Your Master of Whisperers needs to be aware too."

Daenerys angrily "You spoke to him first. Without coming to me. Without asking my permission."

Tyrion says "It was a mistake."

Daenerys wonders "Why do you think Sansa told you? What do you think she hoped to gain?"

Tyrion says "She trusts me."

"Yes, she trusts you. She trusted you to spread secrets that could destroy your own queen. And you did not let her down."

"If I have failed you, my queen, forgive me. Our intentions were good. We wanted what you want. A better world, all of us. Varys as much as anyone" she does not reply "But it doesn't matter now"

Daenerys says "No. It doesn't matter now."

Tyrion takes a measure of Daenerys. She returns to her view of the landscape. She looks haggard and ill, more pale than ever with heavy bags under her eyes.

In Castelry Rock, Alicia's chamber. Alicia's handmaiden says "Prince Aelor's not to be found within the castle walls, Your Grace. Your father has sent Ser Donnel into the city to find him."

Alicia to herself "Ser Jaime and Ser Donnel know Aelor. They have the advantage" she looks at Baelor "Bash, I trust again to you, brother, and to your loyalty to me. Aelor must be found, and he must be brought to me."

Bash nods "I will not fail you"

Aemon stands "I will come with you, uncle"

Alicia turns to him "That would not be my desire, Aemond."

Bash to her "Leave him, Alicia"

Alica says "If anything has happened___"

Aemon nods "Uncle needs me, Mother. Ser Jaime or Donnel are not the only ones who know Aelor's doings."

》》》》 《《《《

Lyanna POV

Jaime and I stand in his chamber looking at the ocean as he hugs me from behind "Now all Hightower left and Aelor will be crowned tomorrow"

I nod "I hope it will work"

Jaime kissing my neck "This war must end soon because since we married we had a lot of adventures"

I laugh "The attack in Winterfell me and Bran, Robert's death, we are hostage, our sons, divorce our affairs, What in seven hells in our life?"

Jaime laughs "Ten years of fighting but I see you calm now"

I nod "Because I know, my son will be safe with Myrcella and Cersei"

Jaime hugs me tightly and I smile feeling his warmth and I think of Jon and Cersei and our relationships with them.

》》》》 《《《《

Narrator POV

In Varys's chamber, night. Varys sits writing by candlelight. In the distance, a door opens. Varys looks up and folds the scroll he was writing. He uses the candle to set it aflame, then snuffs the burning parchment. The sound of footsteps draws closer.

Varys removes his rings and places them in a small bowl. He sits, quietly resigned to his fate. The plodding of the approaching guards echoes in the chamber.

The door opens and Grey Worm enters, accompanied by a handful of Unsullied. He pauses and gives Varys a menacing look.

》》》》 《《《《

In the caverns beneath Dragonstone, Grey Worm and the Unsullied guards lead Varys through the caverns by torchlight. They exit onto the rocky shore, passing an unhappy Tyrion.

Daenerys stands in front of the surf with Jon at her side. Varys faces them, having accepted his fate.

Tyrion approaches from the side, and they exchange a knowing look "It was me."

Varys nods "I hope I deserve this. Truly, I do. I hope I'm wrong. Goodbye, old friend."

Tyrion and Varys take in their goodbye. Tyrion touches Varys's shackled hands kindly, and steps away. Varys fights to maintain his composure.

Daenerys steps forward "Lord Varys. I, Daenerys of House Targaryen, First of My Name, Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons__" From behind her, Drogon's head emerges from the darkness, growling "__sentence you to die. Dracarys."

Drogon rears up behind Daenerys and roars. Fright takes over Varys's face. Drogon steadies himself, roars between his teeth, and quickly unleashes an inferno that consumes Varys.

Tyrion watches, deeply sorrowful. Jon stands quietly, willing himself to follow his queen.

》》》》 《《《《

In the painted table, night. Daenerys sits by the fire, holding Missandei's leather collar. Grey Worm stands at attention "This was all she brought with her when we crossed the Narrow Sea. Her only possession."

Daenerys hands the collar to Grey Worm. He looks it over, masking his pain, and throws it in the fireplace, where it shrivels and burns.

At the sound of footsteps, Grey Worm regains his composure and turns to face Jon as he enters. Daenerys hides her sorrow as well.

Daenerys in Valyrian "It's all right, Torgo Nudo. Let me speak with him"

Grey Worm nods and exits. Jon approaches Daenerys. There is an awkward silence.

Daenerys says "What did I say would happen if you told your sister?"

Jon says "I don't want it, and that's what I told him."

Daenerys says "She betrayed your trust. She killed Varys as much as I did. This was a victory for her. Now she knows what happens when people hear the truth about you. Far more people in Westeros love you than love me. I don't have love here. I only have fear."

Jon says "I love you. And you will always be my queen."

Daenerys stands and walks to Jon "Is that all I am to you? Your queen?"

They kiss. It is tentative at first, and then passion consumes them until Jon pulls away. He looks at her, deeply conflicted.

Daenerys shakes her head ever so slightly "All right, then" she takes a step back "Let it be fear. Aelor named King in Hightower"

》》》》 《《《《

Lyanna POV

In Castelry Rock, I lean on my hand sitting at the war chamber, Genna walks in "Lyanna" I turn my attention to her "Jaime did not back yet"

I shake my head "No, he must arrive by night"

Genna nods "You see, it is a great move against Cersei. look around you Cersei on the throne. This war is over the Targaryen eat each other" I sigh looking away "Aelor is crowned as King and Daenerys calls herself a queen, both of them will end each other"

I say "Aunt Genna, We lost this war, the day King Robert died, he maybe was drunk and useless but no one and especially the Lannister could not take a step while he on the Throne"

Genna gives me a look and I put my hand on my head feeling tired. The door open hardly and I stand looking at Genna, it was Lannister men. 

I shout "How dare you get in like that?"

Aurane Waters, Monterys and Larissa's uncle walk in with Lannister and his men. Genna and I share a look.

Aurane looks at Genna "Lady Genna, Pleasure see you, last time, we were at King Joffrey's wedding" smiles at me "Lyanna Snow" to her "Get her"

I snap at them "What?" 

Genna stands in front of me "Wait, What is going on?"

Aurane says "The queen wants to traitor of the realm" I stare at Genna "Lyanna Snow is one. The tyrant Daenerys Targaryen announced that Lyanna Snow is the serial Killer S.G."

I swallow my saliva thinking about how Jon let her announce that who is S.G. I look at Aurane "Cersei wants me"

Genna looks at me and then in anger "Take her"

I stare at her "Aunt Genna"

Genna says "And tell Cersei, she is the one who killed Tywin" 

The soldier holds my arms and I scream "Aunt Genna, What are you doing? you liar, you betrayed Jaime"

Genna approaches me and whispers in my ear "Everything, I did for my revenge for my brother going well, you think who tell Cersei your place" she looks me in the eyes "tell Cersei there ime is coming too"

They drag me outside as I scream trying to free myself.

Narrator POV

In Castelry Rock streets, Reagan and Laela help Lucaes to get in the carriage with her handmaidens after saying goodbye, the carriage head moves and Laela cries and waves at them.

Reagan holds her hands "They will be safe with Bernia, Mother"

Laela sighs "I know, the safest place is the North now" She heads to her dragon "You will follow"

Reagan nods "I will head to Harrenhal and bring the men and follow you"

Laela hugs him "Take care, Reagan"

Reagan smiles "Like it will be the first time, I will ride Yaegar and come, do not worry"

Laela nod and ride her dragon "Soves beauty!!"

Reagan watches his mother then ride his dragon too "Soves Yaegar!!"

As they arrive above the Gods eye Lake in River lands, The storm is in full force, howling wind and heavy rain battering the pair as they are flying. 

Unaware that Aemon and Aelor are following them on Drakon and Arrow with the intention of killing Rhaegar's children with their children. 

Reagan looks around "Harrenhal curses" he takes a deep breath "It is just a story, Reagan"

Aemon suddenly attacks out of the clouds, using Drakon to terrorize them, all the while cursing him "Lord Strong!!"

Reagan stares at them as he holds still on the dragon saddle and tries to control Yaegar "Likri, Yaegar"

But Aelor attacks from another angel with Arrow and bite Yaegar's wing, but the confrontation continues. 

Reagan loses control of Yaegar "Dracarys, Yeagar!!!" 

Yaegar spits fire at Drakon. 

The older dragon is enraged and commands by killing Reagan and Yaegar in one bite. A horrified Aelor watches as Yaegar's mangled remains fall from the sky, aware that his impulsiveness, rage, and lack of control have not only now made his brother a kinslayer.

Aemon laughs and nods at his brother but all Aelor thinks ensured that Laela and Lyanna will never accept a peaceful resolution to the conflict, and guaranteed war will ensue after acceptance make him a king.

In Daenora's chamber, Daenora coughs as Rhaena walks by her door and she heard her coughs sound. Rhaena walks in "Daenora, you are okay"

Daenora leans on the desk and smiles weakly "Yes"

Daemion walks in "Daenora, you are ready?"

Daenora nods "I will get dressed, Father"

Rhaena turns to Daemion "Daemion, she looks so ill"

"If you are really ill, stay" she shakes and Daemion hugs her then kisses her head. 

Daenora releases the hug and smiles at Daemion, with blood beginning to trickle out her nose.

Rhaena's heart falls "Daenora?"

The bleeding gets worse.

Daemion worries "Daenora?!"

Daenora collapses in Daemion's arms, blood streaming down her face with their shouting "Daenora?! Daenora?!"

》》》》 《《《《

In King's Landing, Maelys and Legolaes meet alone outside the gates of the city. Maelys walk side a side with his father.

Leoglaes say "You know it Viserys's right, she is a tyrant"

Maelys nods "Let us walk into Daemion's plan and we___" he stops his son with his arms "You hear that"

Leoglaes nods and they put their hands on their swords. They get attacked by Hightower men.

They fought with courage and strength until they were exhausted by fatigue and the men of Hightower were able to eliminate them.

They killed Maelys first by stabbing from behind and they killed Legolaes carelessly with slaughter while he was trying to see his father.

》》》》 《《《《

Lyanna POV

In the dark dungeon cells of Kings Landing, I sit on the floor crying silently, I have been her for days. I see a little light approaching me. 

After a short while it is clear that it's Cersei with her soldiers, who is holding a torch. Cersei says "Lyanna" she gives me water "you must be thirsty."

I chuckle "Cersei"

Cersei gives it to me "I promise you it isn't poisoned."

I take it "I hope it is" I throw it at her "but I know you will not kill me easily"

Cersei smirks "Yes, terrible you have no respect for your queen"

I smile "What you can say I am a bastard" I look around "Is not that the same dungeons, you put Father in"

Cersei nods "It is, Men have been known to die of thirst in these cells."

I sigh "I do not care, How is my son and do not lie because I know he is alive, I have people loyal to me in the red keep"

Cersei nods "Your son is dead Lyanna"

I smile "Then he is fine, make wooden toys of a lion, wolf and dragon because he loves to play with wooden toys that sign our houses. Why are you here?"

Cersei looks at her soldiers "I came to gloat at you"

I laugh sarcastically "Really, why?"

"The Hightower boy who calls himself a king with his brother killed Raegan over the god eye lake"

My heart fall and tears locked in my eyes "What are you saying?"

"The dragon ate him with his dragon"

I shake my head "Get out, you liar"

"He is not the only one, Maelys, Legolaes, Daenora and Daella Targaryen too"  

I stand and hurry to attack her "I am gonna kill you, Cersei" The soldiers hold me back and she laughs "Your end is soon, Genna revenge on me and she will do it to you so if Daenerys killed you, Genna will"

Cersei laughs "And you rot in these dungeons and I will watch it gladly"

I shout "You think your brother will leave me, he loves me, he will take me out, he chooses me over you twice"

Cersei nods at her soldiers and they hit me until I fall and I wipe my blood from my nose and they leave the dungeons. 

I scream feeling helpless "REAGAN!!!!!!!" I cry "We should not have left Winterfell, we should not, ahh!!" I feel terrified "No" I hit myself "Stupid Lyanna" I put my hand over my heart not able to breathe "Ahh!!"

》》》》 《《《《

Narrator POV

In Dragonstone throne room, night. Daenerys sits on the throne. Tyrion and Grey Worm stand on the main floor, looking up at her.

Tyrion says "The people who live there, they're not your enemies. They're innocents, like the ones you liberated in Meereen."

Daenery says "In Meereen, the slaves turned on the masters and liberated the city themselves the moment I arrived."

Tyrion says "They're afraid. Anyone who resists Cersei will see his family butchered. You can't expect them to be heroes. They're hostages."

Daenerys says "They are. In a tyrant's grip. Whose fault is that? Mine?"

Tyrion says "What does it matter whose fault it is? Thousands of children will die if the city burns."

Daenerys says "Your sister knows how to use her enemies' weaknesses against them. That's what she thinks our mercy is - weakness."

Tyrion says "I beg you, my queen___"

Daenerys says "But she's wrong. Mercy is our strength. Our mercy towards future generations who will never again be held hostage by a tyrant"

Tyrion is silent and disappointed in her decision.

Daenery to Grey Worm "Ready the Unsullied. Tonight you sail for King's Landing, to join the Northern armies."

Desperate, Tyrion ascends the platform stairs to get closer to Daenerys "Cersei's followers will abandon her if they know the war is lost. Give them that chance. If the city surrenders, they will ring the bells and raise the gates. Please, if you hear them ringing the bells, call off the attack."

Daenerys considers Tyrion's suggestion. She nods quietly to Grey Worm, accepting the plan "Wait for me outside the city. You'll know when it's time."

Grey Worm nods. Tyrion and Daenerys look at one another silently. Then Tyrion slowly bows every so slightly, expressing his gratitude to his Queen. He turns and starts to walk away.

Daenerys says "Your brother was stopped trying to get past our lines." Tyrion stops and turns "It seems he hasn't abandoned your sister after all. The next time you fail me will be the last time you fail me."

Tyrion pivots and exits.

Grey Worm looks at Daenrys "We did what you said, the princess must be died by know with viper poison"

Daenerys nods "Good they will think it is Rhaenys"

"We send a man to Hightower and tell them where are Maelys and Legolaes and they must be died by now" 

"What about Lyanna?"

"Genna Lannister handed her over to Cersei Lannister and she became a prisoner"

"You can go" Grey Worn nods then exits.

》》》》 《《《《

Lyanna POV

Still, in the dark dungeons, I feel more ill, and voices never stop in my head. I hug my legs to my chest crying. All these years what have I gained, I thought I am smart.

"Lyanna"

I raise my head towards the sound and I see Ned Stark  holding a torch of light "Father"

He smiles and wipes my hair like he always did "My trouble maker"

I cry hugging him "Father"

He hugs me back "It is okay"

"I missed you if you were here, that would not happen to us"

He pulls me back "But I raised you to days like this"

I cry more "But I am done fighting"

"Remember what I told you when you were angry that you will marry Jaime Lannister" he wipes my tears.

I nod and sniff "We have things in common"

"That it"

"I do not understand"

"You are smart"

"I do not understand" he disappeared.

Suddenly, I wake up from the dream looking around and still in the dark, I sigh thinking with tears falling from me.

》》》》 《《《《

Narrator POV

The Streets of King's Landing, day. The citizens of King's Landing chatter as they move into the protective walls of the Red Keep.

They hold onto their loved ones and carry supplies on their backs or balanced on their heads. The guards help to keep them moving through the main entrance to the Keep.

Guard 1 says "Let them pass."

"Through the gate."

"Get going."

》》》》 《《《《

The seas outside King's Landing, day. Jon and Tyrion ride in a boat toward land. Tyrion broods while Jon is resigned.

Davos waits for them on the shore below King's Landing, where their forces have made camp.

The Encampment, day. The camp is busy as the forces prepare for the upcoming battle. Davos, Tyrion, and Jon pause a few yards from the shore.

Davos says "The rearguard should be here by daybreak."

Tyrion says "She wants to attack now."

"Daybreak at the earliest." Jon turns to talk with some Stark soldiers.

Soldier 1 says "Careful with that."

Soldier 2 says "My lord."

Davos turns to leave as well, but Tyrion stays with him "Davos. I need to ask you a favor. You're the greatest smuggler alive, aren't you?"

Davos says "I'm not gonna like this favor, am I?"

》》》》 《《《《

The Encampment, night. soldier 1 says "He's always better when he's got some food in him."

Soldier 2 says "Problem is when he's got drink in him. See what he did the other week?"

Soldier 1 says "Aye. Fighting as well. Commander nearly caught him."

The encampment has gone quiet for the night. Braziers light the camp at regular intervals. The Hound and Arya Stark ride into camp.

A soldier stops them "Ay up. Where you going?"

Arya says "I'm Arya Stark. I'm going to kill Queen Cersei." Soldier is confused.

The hound says "Think about it. She kills Cersei, the war's over. There won't be a siege. You might not even die tomorrow."

The soldier says "I need to go talk to my captain."

The hound says "Go ahead, talk to him."

Arya and The hound continue on their way.

Soldier 1 asks "Where's he going?"

》》》》 《《《《

In another part of the encampment, Tyrion walks past the Unsullied warriors who line the path. An unsuilled gives him a questioning look.

Tyrion speaking Valyrian "I drink to eat the skull keeper" The Unsullied is unresponsive "I want to eat the skull keeper" Again, the unsuilled gives no response. Tyrion clears his throat and tries again "I want to see the__"

He cuts him "We speak the common tongue."

Tyrion says "Ah. Good. I want to be alone with the prisoner. Get some rest. Tomorrow will be a long day."

Unsullied says "We have orders to guard the prisoner."

Tyrion wonders "Ordered by whom? The queen herself?"

"No"

Tyrion says "Well, in that case, as Hand of the Queen, I outrank whoever gave your order. Probably by quite a lot."

The unsullied looks to his comrades. They file away. Tyrion enters the tent. Jaime Lannister sits, eyes closed, chained by his neck and hands.

Tyrion enters behind him "How did they find you?" Jaime holds up his golden right hand as explanation "Did you consider taking it off?"

Jaime answers "Cersei once called me "the stupidest Lannister."."

"And you're going back to her, to die with her."

"You've underestimated her before but no she takes Lyanna as a prisoner"

Tyrion nods and explains "She's going to die. Unless you can convince her to change her course of action."

"Difficult to do from here."

Tyrion holds up the key to Jaime's chains.

Jaime exhales heavily, impressed at this turn of events "When have I ever been able to convince Cersei of anything?"

Tyrion says "Try. If not for yourself, if not for her, then for every one of the million people in that city, innocent or otherwise."

Jaime says "To be honest, I never really cared much for them. Innocent or otherwise, I am here to save my wife."

Tyrion says "You do care for one innocent. I know you do. And so does Cersei. She has a reason now."

Jaime says "The child is the reason she'll never give an inch. All the worst things she's ever done, she's done for her children. It's not impossible that she'll win. Lyanna said she miscarried and she maybe really miscarried and she has Myrcella"

Tyrion says "She won't. Her enemy's forces have been depleted, as she said they would be. The city will fall tomorrow."

"She has the Lannister army, she has the Golden Company____"

Tyrion cuts him "I defended the city last time it was attacked. I know it better than anyone. It will fall tomorrow."

Jaime says "Then I suppose I'll die tomorrow, if not before."

"Why?" Tyrion moves closer to Jaime and crouches to meet him, eye to eye "Escape. For Myrcella, Lyanna was having a plan to let Cersei escape"

Jaime looks at him confused "Why?"

"For Myrcella's sake, she does not want to let the girl be without her mother and for you, she can not live without Jon so does she know you can not without Cersei. Lyanna was thinking to take you to Essos to start over" 

Jaime nods remembering Lyanna's words to him.

Tyrion says "Remember where we met, where they keep the dragon skulls, beneath the Red Keep? Take her down there. Keep following the stairways down, down as far as they'll go. You'll come out onto a beach at the foot of the keep. A dinghy will be waiting for you. Sail out of the bay. If the winds are kind, you'll make it to Pentos. Start a new life."

Jaime says "Sail right past the Iron Fleet and into a new life? Sounds a lot less likely than Cersei winning this war___"

"There won't be an Iron Fleet for much longer. Do it. If you don't, you'll never see Cersei again" Jaime considers "Swear to me."

Jaime says "You have my word"

Tyrion unlocks Jaime's bonds "If it works, give the order to ring all the bells in King's Landing and open the gates. That will be our signal that the city has surrendered."

Jaime says "I'll try."

Tyrion says "I never thought I'd get to repay the favor. Remember, ring the bells and open the gates."

Jaime says "Your queen will execute you for this."

Tyrion says "If Daenerys can make it to the throne without wading through a river of blood, maybe she'll show mercy to the person who made that possible."

Jaime gives an apprehensive look.

Tyrion stands quickly "Tens of thousands of innocent lives one not particularly innocent dwarf it seems like a fair trade. If it weren't for you, I never would've survived my childhood."

Jaime says "You would have."

Tyrion says "You were the only one who didn't treat me like a monster. You were all I had."

Jaime starts to protest, but he is interrupted by Tyrion's embrace. They hold one another tightly, aware this could be the last time they ever see each other.

Tyrion cries with an upwelling of emotion. With a final look, Tyrion exits quickly.
