“What are we supposed to do with these elephants and the massive army Cersei bought while fighting Euron’s fleet and hundreds of those giant crossbows?” Dany said in a panic. She received Arya’s letter and she called a war council in her and Jon’s tent. “I think you’re underestimating the direwolves. Arya said she found seven of them. With Ghost, that means we have eight. If the three younger dragons fly over the direwolves to protect them from above, they all together can take down the elephants” Sansa said. “That’s a good idea. Ghost has fought with me side-by-side in every battle. I’ve seen what he can do. If they attack as a pack, they’ll be able to take down anything in their path” Jon added. “The Northmen and the Freefolk are fighting out of loyalty. They know who their Queen is. She’s fought next to them during the most dangerous war and has saved them countless times. They will fight better than this Golden Company because they support the both of you” Tormund said while looking at both Dany and Jon. Grey Worm chimes in “the Unsullied will not let you lose.” Missandei looks at her best friend and says “we can do this.” Tyrion stares intensely at the war map and Jamie looks nervous for what’s ahead.

——

Arya is still posing as Qyburn, and is only doing what is specifically asked by Cersei. Mostly her duties are seeing over the blacksmiths to ensure they were crafting the weapons on time and to keep The Golden Company happy. She has been able to sneak away almost every night now to see Yara and Sandor. Arya will usually lay with Yara until she falls asleep before she goes back into the castle. A few nights prior to Daenerys arrival, Arya was trying to sneak back in but had to take a detour, as there were many Gold Cloak’s in her path up to the Hands Tower. She tiptoed her way down a flight of steps to avoid collision with the knights. Even with her being Qyburn, she didn’t want anyone to become suspicious of her activities. The room she entered was large and dark, but there were lit torches on the walls. Arya walked a little further and was able to see two sleeping guards sitting on wooden chairs and about 20 feet to the right, she saw bars lining the wall. She knew she was in the dungeons. There was some shuffling and rattling of chains. “Who is there?” a woman’s voice said in a whisper. Arya moved quietly over to the voice. The light was dim but Arya was able to see that the woman was tall and thin. She had medium length black hair with sad brown eyes. The woman asked with an attitude, “what are you doing down here?” “Be quiet, I don’t want to wake them” Arya pointed at the guards. “Who are you?” she asked. “How don’t you know who I am?” the woman spat. “Can you please just answer me?” Arya responded. “Is your old age finally catching up to you? I’m Ellaria Sand” she said. Arya remembers Dany and Jon telling her about how House Martell was an alliance before they were captured by Euron’s fleet. “How are you still alive? I thought they killed you” said Arya. “Do you really not remember, old man? Cersei needs to find a new Hand…” Ellaria started to say but then Arya cut her off “I’m not Qyburn. I’m Arya Stark of Winterfell” she takes off her mask quickly to show Ellaria and puts it back on just in case one of the guards woke up. Ellaria gasps “how did you do that?” “No time for that, answer my question” Arya said. “Cersei poisoned my girl and wanted me to watch her rot as my punishment, and I did” she points over to a pile of bones. “They give me just enough food and water to live so I can stare at her all day.” Arya pulls some jerky out of her cloak that Sandor made and gives it to her. “Queen Daenerys will be here soon. You won’t be in here much longer. I hear that the Martells and the Sands were great warriors. Do you have a weapon of choice?” Arya asked. “Ellaria says “I am good with a spear, just like my husband was.” “Alright. I’ll have one made for you. When Daenerys arrives, we will need all the fighters we can get. I’ll bring you down food when I can so you can get your strength back. I’ll notify her that you’re alive. Prepare yourself the best you can for battle” Arya finished.

Over the next few days, Arya brought her as much food as she was able and managed to sneak in Ellaria’s spear, to which she hid under her hay pile where she slept. There were also a series of letters exchanged between Arya and Dany.

“Daenerys,

I want to inform you that Ellaria Sand is still alive. She’s locked in the dungeon. I was able to slide her a weapon so she’s ready for the battle.

Cersei is spending most days pacing back and fourth in her room. I’m not sure she believes she has enough to stop you. I think she might be planning something else. I’ll let you know once I find out.

-A&Y”

Tyrion takes special interest in this note and takes it to his tent.

“It is hard to believe that she’s been alive all this time, but I am glad to hear of it. She is a good friend of mine.

We will arrive in just a few days, and when that happens, I need you and Sandor to run with the pack to flank the army. With eight dragons, you will most certainly hear us. The pack will focus primarily on attacking the elephants and my three younger dragons will assist them. Sansa will be focused on the fleet on the back of her dragon (yeah I forgot to tell you, she’s a rider now) with your dragon (I forgot to mention that too. You were deemed worthy to be a rider). Missandei (also a rider now) will be focusing on protecting the army while Jon and I destroy all of the crossbows and go whenever help is needed with Drogon and Rhaegal. You can help lead the pack into battle but know if you call out to your dragon, he’ll come to your aid.

I know you and Yara have grown fond of each other but it’s time to say your goodbyes. She must prepare her people to attack.

Please update me as soon as you find out that information.

Stay safe,

-D”

“Dany,

Sandor and I are ready. Yara is with her fleet. There’s a problem though. Cersei is pulling the entirety of Kings Landing inside the city’s wall. She’s brainwashed them into thinking you are a tyrant and she knows you won’t attack the city with millions of innocents. I am not sure what to do.

-A”

“I talked things over with your brother, your sister, and Tyrion. As the current Hand of the Queen to Cersei, you need to convince everyone to flee the city immediately. I’m sure the people would listen to you, but don’t do it now. Go in using another face that blends in and try to convince families to leave on their own. Once they see others leaving, they might follow. Do not order the evacuation until late morning tomorrow. We will get there by tomorrow afternoon. Be careful. You don’t want Cersei finding you suspicious.

-D”

One raven came from Yara to Arya.

“Darling,

I know our Queen should be arriving tomorrow. Fight hard. Fight well. Be brave and strong.

I am looking forward to killing Euron tomorrow. I’ve learned so much from you and Sandor.

I’ll see you at the end of the war.

-Y”

Arya has a lot of work to do. She sneaks out of the castle once more and changes her face. She’s back to being the young women she was when she first arrived. She makes her way to flea bottom, as that’s where Cersei put the majority of the residents that came from outside of the city’s wall. She causally slips in to a groups conversation and very slowly begins to change the subject. “The Dragon Queen has a huge unbeatable army and two giant dragons. When she comes, this city doesn’t have a chance. It will fall. The Targaryen is merciful and will give you a chance to bend the knee, but you don’t want to get caught up in the crossfire. I’m leaving tonight and I think you should too. Cersei tricked you all into thinking she cares about you but she’s using you as a human shield. I know the common people are not loyal to House Lannister. The Northerners are the most honorable people in this country and they support the Targaryen girl. I think that should say something.” The group nods in agreement, realizing that she’s right and Cersei never had their best interests at heart. Arya continues “please, tell all your friends and family. Have them leave with you, but be discreet.” The group disperses, and she makes her way to another group. She keeps going until it’s very late and the remaining people are sleeping. At this point, Arya was able to get over three-fourths of them to leave. There may be only a few hundred people left in the Capital now. She slips back into the shadows and creeps back into the castle and puts Qyburn’s face back on. She better get some sleep, tomorrow is going to be a long and hard day. Arya opens the door to the Hand’s quarters and Cersei is sitting on the balcony.

“Where have you been?” Cersei asked. “I was tending to the elephants and to The Golden Company to ensure they’re ready tomorrow, your Grace.” “And?” questioned Cersei. “I think we have a good chance at beating them, your Grace.” “There was some peasant girl down in the streets convincing people to leave” Cersei said. “Oh?” Arya responded acting surprised. “It worked. Most of them did leave and they are now supporting the young brat” says Cersei. “I’m sorry, your Grace. I think we should both get some sleep though, we have a big day ahead of us” Arya said. “Yeah, you’re right” said Cersei as she stands up and walks to the door and continues, “it’s funny how I had to bribe and lie to people to fight for me, someone’s who has been their queen for over a decade. This foreigner comes in and wins the heart of the entire North, the Stormlands, the Iron Islands, all of the South, and most of the West. Perhaps I should have been kinder to the people, but it’s to late for that now. I would rather die than give up the Red Keep.” She closes the door to Qyburn’s room and Arya says under her breath, “we will arrange that.” Arya falls asleep after a lot of tossing and turning.

The next morning, Arya wakes up early to get Sandor and the pack. They ride them to the very edge of the Kingswood. They both fasten all the direwolves into their armor. It was something she had the blacksmiths create piece by piece so it wouldn’t be obvious, they just had to link the parts together. They each had a pair of lightweight leather boots, a lightweight leather bodice that was covered in chainmail, and a leather helmet with holes for their ears. They would be fighting animals 30 times their size, Arya wanted them protected without comprising their movement. As soon as they’re done with the last direwolf, Ghost comes prancing over, like he knew he had to be there, and gives Arya a nudge with his head and then gives Nymeria a lick on the face. Arya puts the armor on Ghost, as she didn’t forget about him. “They must be marching up on the city perimeter. I have to go. You’ll know when to charge, just keep your eyes on where I am” Arya said to Sandor but to Nymeria too. Arya runs towards the city and climbs up on the wall and runs along the rim until she reaches the middle of the city. Arya sees that the army has arrived and it’s waiting. This means Daenerys will not be long now. She yells down to everyone in town “by the order of the Hand and Queen Cersei, I demand all the citizens evacuate the city immediately!” Most of them come out from houses and start making their way to the gate looking scared. “I said now! Move!” Arya sees all eight dragons in the distance. By the time the last person exited the gate, she was able to see Dany, Jon, Sansa, and Missandei now riding on the backs of their dragons. She saw a blue and green dragon with grey wings without a rider. Arya presumed one is hers. Although she didn’t realize it yet, according to Bran later, her dragon was blue to show that she was a fully trained water dancer and the green and grey colors were for House Stark. It was time. Arya ripped off her mask to expose her true self and she looked right towards the Red Keep. She saw a silhouette of what she sure was Cersei standing in a window. She smiled at her and before any of the Golden Company warriors and anyone from the Lannister army could shoot at her, she called out for her dragon, as Dany said to do in one of her letters, to come catch her and then she back flipped off the wall. Her dragon came diving towards her and caught her with his claw. She wanted to be flown near Nymeria so she could ride her into the Targaryen-Stark army. The pack starts charging towards her and her dragon sets her down. Arya starts running parallel to Nymeria’s path and when she’s about to pass her, Arya grabs on to her and swings herself on her back. She and Sandor lead the direwolves towards the flanking side where the elephants will have to come out at. Arya notices that the three smaller dragons where already hovering over them. Sansa and Arya’s dragons fly high into the clouds behind Yara’s fleet and out of the aim of the crossbows on Euron’s ships. They were in position, waiting for Dany’s command. Missandei landed behind all the Dothraki, Unsullied, Northmen, Freefolk, and now the army from the Stormlands. Missandei is was feeling overwhelmed, needing to protect as many people has she can, but she was prepared to defend her best friends cause. She had her eyes locked on Dany. Dany and Jon fly in circles above the city. All of a sudden they hear heavy movement coming from under the castle. The elephants were stampeding out. Arya and Sandor look at each other. A bolt goes flying in the air past Drogon and Rhaegal. Dany looks at Jon and he nods. Dany gives the command. Bolts are flying all through the air now and it’s hard to dodge them all. They say “dracarys” every time they have clear shot at the crossbows and army.

There are a hand full of The Golden Company’s troops with the elephants. Arya and Sandor begin charging at the troops while the other six split up. They attack with two direwolves per elephant. They have to slow them down enough so the dragons above have enough time to set their massive bodies on fire. Arya and Sandor have their swords out to the sides ready to fight from the backs of their direwolves. Arya is the best fighter in Westeros, and even though she’s able to kill her opponents, it’s taking her a lot longer than normal. The Golden Company troops are insanely good swordsmen. Sandor appears to be having a similar issue.

Sansa and the two dragons are now diving straight into Euron’s fleet. They have to carefully weave to miss all the bolts flying at them. Yara and her fleet are now attacking Euron’s ships. Sansa see’s that Yara is about to jump on the ship where Euron is at. She is walking with two soldiers in front of her and two in the back. She has her sword out and is ready. Sansa quickly moves to the side as she almost got hit with a bolt. All the pent up rage she has over the years finally comes to the surface and she uses that to be successful in this battle. She stares at the person who is sitting behind the the crossbow that just launched the bolt at her and she says “dracarys.” The whole ship is on fire. She’s flying over a dozen ships that weren’t touched by Yara’s fleet yet, to all of which sank to the bottom of Blackwater Bay. More people are shooting at her and Arya’s dragon, causing them to retreat back into the sky. Before they do though, Arya’s dragon sets three ships on fire. “This is going to take a while” Sansa thought.

The Golden Company is holding their ground against Dany and Jon’s army, but the Dothraki, Unsullied, Freefolk, Northmen, and the other Targaryen loyalist are working well together, they are just slightly better than the army Cersei put together. Missandei doesn’t want to catch any of the Targaryen-Stark troops on fire, so she only gives Visenya the command when a large group of the Golden Company is clearly visible. She see’s Grey Worm killing a person every few seconds. He seems to be doing fine until the troops notice his talents and 10 come after Grey Worm at once. Missandei doesn’t have a clear shot, he is in her cross path.

Tormund, Brienne, Jamie, Octavia, Meera, and Gendry are all fighting side-by-side. They are working well as a team and are proving to be very successful. Every person who approached them dies within a few minutes. After the attack at Winterfell they had with them, they each practiced their technique to better themselves against their opponents, and it is working. Jamie notices Tyrion walking in the distance towards the basement entrance of the castle where the elephants came out of. Jamie starts running after him and Octavia follows. Brienne follows because she still considered Jamie a good friend and with that, Tormund follows. Meera and Gendry look in the direction to where the rest of their group is running towards and notice Arya and Sandor are struggling to stop the elephants from advancing. Meera and Gendry join Arya and the Hound. With his war hammer, Gendry was able to blow out the knees of the killer elephants. The pack and the dragons were able to finish off the rest of the job. Arya, the Hound, and Meera were able to kill all the troops that came their way. A few elephants were able to make it through the barrier they attempted to create and now they are attacking the Targaryen-Stark army. They were kicking, stomping, and tossing anyone in their path. “Girl, do you think you can handle this? I have my own business to take care of” Sandor yelled to Arya. She knew who he was going after–The Mountain. Arya looks to Meera and Gendry and they both nod. “Yeah we got this. Be careful, Sandor” Arya responded. Sandor dismounts his direwolf because he didn’t want her to get hurt where he was going. But as he attempted to walk away, she followed him. She wouldn’t leave his side and she kept kneeling in front of him. “Ah fine, you cunt” Sandor said and he climbed on top of her heading to the castle, killing every solider he could reach.

Tyrion creeps into the Red Keep. Before he could enter, Jamie, Octavia, Brienne and Tormund sneak up behind him. “What are you doing?” Jamie said to Tyrion. “You shouldn’t be here!” Tyrion yelled at him. “You didn’t think I’d let my little brother sneak into a castle full of enemies alone? Where are we going?” asked Jamie. “Just follow me” said Tyrion. They only had to kill a few guards, as most of them were outside fighting. They made their way to the dungeon and Jamie killed the two guards stationed there. “I never thought that’d I’d be fighting alongside Lannister’s” Ellaria said. Jamie stands there feeling conflicted. She killed his daughter. But Cersei started the fight, so he pushes his feelings to the side as Tyrion picks the lock. Ellaria is dirty but she was more determined than ever to finally get revenge. “Well, lets go find her” Ellaria said tossing her spear in the air and catching it. Tyrion leads the way and the rest of them, including Jamie, help fight their way to the Queen’s Tower as they hear loud crashes and bangs coming from the outside.

Missandei dismounts Visenya and pulls out her spear. Visenya walks next to her to guard and bite anyone who tries to touch her rider. Missandei stands next to Grey Worm and helps him fight.

Dany and Jon are nearly done destroying all the crossbows. Dany glances around to see how everyone is doing and that’s when she felt Drogon get hit with something hard. He doesn’t fall though, he keeps flying. “Are you okay?!” Dany screamed at Drogon. “Yeah it didn’t even pierce my scales. It seems the volcano made me stronger than we thought” Drogon said back to her. With this realization, Dany tells Jon to fly away to protect Rhaegal then to land somewhere safe so he can help on the ground. Jon agrees and flys away. Dany flys in extremely close to the point where she can see the faces of every man working the crossbows. She hugs Drogon’s body so she doesn’t get hit and says to him “light them up.” Without hesitation, he flys right over the city’s perimeter setting them all on fire. He gets hit with hundreds of bolts and not one penetrates his skin. After a few minutes, Dany and Drogon cleared the entire city of the massive weapons. She looks over to Blackwater Bay and see’s that the fight over there is still going but Sansa and Yara seem to have everything under control. She then looks to the other side and makes the decision that they need help on the ground more. She asks Drogon to tell Rhaegal and the three smaller dragons to sit and wait on top of the Red Keep. She doesn’t want them down on the ground fighting since their skin can still be stabbed and she doesn’t want to risk her troops being caught in fire. She flys down to the ground and slides off Drogon’s wing. He crawls over and finishes off the few elephants that are left with just a few bites. Dany takes out Dark Sister and begins fighting with her army. This is when she noticed Missandei isn’t on Visenya. They’re both fighting next to Grey Worm. Drogon, tell Visenya to go wait with the others! I don’t want her getting ambushed with swords and spears!” She see’s Visenya take off and perch herself on top of one of the many towers. She has quite a few wounds on her but she’s okay. Drogon continues to bite and push anyone that comes near him. Dany is doing really well. It’s like she absorbed everything she learned about fighting and learned from all of her mistakes. She makes her way through 20 men when she spots Jon. Jon is fighting off his attackers successfully. They fight back-to-back for the remainder of the battle.

With the elephants dead, Arya rides deeper into the chaos on the back of Nymeria, killing everything to the left and right of her while Nymeria killed everything in the front and the rest of the pack killed everything in the back. After seeing how well the pack was doing on their own, Arya told Nymeria that she was going to help her sister now. Arya called out of her dragon once more and he swooped in once more to pick her up with his claw. He flew high and dropped her so he could quickly fly underneath her so Arya could be on his back. She gets to the fleet and Sansa calls out “finally!” “Follow my lead! I think I have an idea” Arya yelled back. They couldn’t just burn all the ships as Yara’s people are on Euron’s boats fighting each other. Arya dives under water and gives the command to burn the ships from below the water, just enough to cause them to sink. Sansa follows. This gets rid of the remaining crossbows and bolts and forces everyone swim to shore and continue fighting on land.

Ayra tells Sansa to land and help on the ground. Olenna flys Sansa to a clear spot in the field and she pulls out her dagger. She runs into the chaos full force and moves across the field like water. Brienne and Tormund taught her well. Olenna flys up to wait with the rest of the dragons.

Euron and Yara have both made it to shore and they’re in an intense fight with each other. Arya could easily swoop in and have her dragon rip him to shreds, but she wants Yara to win this fight on her own because she deserves it. She hovers above them just in case something goes wrong. Euron looks up to Arya and smiles. He was distracted for a just a moment and that’s when Yara stabbed him right in the gut and then used her other hand to cut his throat with a knife. Yara looks up at Arya and smiles. Ayra lands quickly so Yara can climb on. They land on the other side of the castle wall and charge into the crowd. The other Iron Born soon follow and Arya’s dragon joins the others. Turns out the people who were loyal to Euron were never loyal to him, or they lost their loyalty when they saw who he really was. As soon as Yara killed him, they all backed Yara. They fought for him out of fear.

Sandor enters the city and makes his way to the castle. He and his direwolf kill a dozen people before they successfully reached the entrance. Sandor pauses for a moment before he dismounts the direwolf and he pushes open the door. They walk next to each other killing a few more guards. They make their journey up to the Queen’s Tower quickly. He knows his brother will be in there being the last thing that protects Cersei. Sandor tells his direwolf to wait in the shadows outside the room, as he didn’t want his brother killing one of the few remaining things he cares about. The Hound pushes open the door and Cersei turns around looking mortified. The Mountain turns around and steps in front of Cersei. They stare at each other for a few seconds and they don’t say anything, Sandor just goes in for the attack. They are aggressively fighting and Cersei tries to get the Mountain’s attention because she wants to leave the castle now, but he is not listening to her. She moves passed him and Sandor and heads for the door. She was too worried about fleeing to notice something big and hairy laying under the table outside the door. The Hound stabs the Mountain several times but it’s not weakening him. Sandor rips off his brothers helmet to expose a purple and green face with blood red eyes. “You were always a cunt but they turned you into an ugly cunt.” Before Sandor had the chance to take his greatsword to his brothers neck, the Mountain throws him across the room into the wall. The Mountain stomps over to him quickly and raises his sword to him now. Sandor gets cut badly on his leg and his shoulder while rolling away to miss the sword. He stumbles across the room and pierces his sword deep in the Mountain’s belly and twists. He stands there swaying back and fourth but does not fall. The Hound cannot remove his sword. The Mountain head butts Sandor and he falls back onto the ground. The Mountain reaches down and pulls Sandor’s sword out of him. He raises it in the air and as he is swinging down, Sandor’s direwolf sneaks up behind him and encloses his entire mouth around the Mountain’s head and bites down until his head is completely removed from his body. His body collapses hard to the ground. The direwolf released the Mountain’s head at Sandor’s feet. Sandor manages to stand up, pats his direwolf on the head and they walk out of the room together.

Outside, Dany and Jon’s army are winning and only a fifth of Cersei’s army is left. Dany, Missandei, Jon, Grey Worm, Drogon, Sansa, Arya, and Yara are all fighting near each other now.

Tyrion, Jamie, and the rest of the crew are about to enter the Queen’s Tower when Sandor comes limping out leaning on his direwolf. “She’s not in there anymore, she left” the Hound said to the group before they could ask. “Where did she go?” Tyrion asked. “I don’t know, I was busy killing my cunt brother” Sandor responded. Jamie said, “I know where she is, let’s go.” Brienne and Tormund stay to help Sandor while Tyrion, Jamie, Octavia, and Ellaria make their way to the throne room. They open the door and Cersei is sitting on the Iron Throne with a blank face. “When I went to visit the witch in the forest when I was younger, she said I was going to have three children with golden heads and that they would all die. That came true. Then she told me that my little brother would be the one to kill me and here you both are” Cersei said. Jamie doesn’t say anything, for the first time in his life, he was feeling cowardly. This was the woman he loved. This was the mother of his children. On the other hand, he’s killed for her and has done horrible things for her. She’s done horrible things to so many people. She’s a tyrant, and he understands that she must die, but all he can do is stand back and observe. Octavia steps closer to him and grabs his hand. “So this is your new lover? A wildling of all people. Thought you’d do better than a savage, but at least she’s pretty” Cersei continued. Octavia was giving her a nasty look and Cersei kept speaking “Ellaria, how nice to see you, how’d you get out of your cell?” Tyrion answered “I let her out. Jamie killed all the guards and I picked the lock. I taught myself when Arya Stark wrote to Queen Daenerys that she was still alive and in the dungeon. I knew Jamie and I wouldn’t have the heart to directly kill you, after all, you are our sister, so I thought ‘who is the next best person?'” and he gestured to Ellaria. “You killed her entire family” he said to Cersei. He turns to Ellaria “all I ask is that you don’t make her suffer, do it quickly.” Ellaria smiles devilishly at Cersei as she pulls her spear back and launches it towards her. It hit Cersei with great force. There was a moment of silence. Cersei was still gasping for air. Ellaria walks over to her and kisses her right on her mouth. “Don’t think you don’t deserve this” Ellaria said as she rips the spear out of Cersei’s torso and pierces it right in her heart. Cersei stops breathing and stops moving instantly. Jamie sheds just a single tear and locks eyes with Tyrion for a few moments. “Let’s go outside and see if they need help” Ellaria finally said. Tyrion separates himself from the group and dropped the Targaryen and Stark banners. Daenerys asked for both banners.

Dany and Jon’s army made their way through the city now clearing out the last remaining troops who have not surrendered. On Dany and Jon’s walk back up to the Red Keep, Dany noticed yet another item glowing and pulsating in a pile of dead bodies. She runs over to it to pick it up. It’s another sword. It has an obsidian handle with a ruby in the shape of a triangle as the pommel. It was Valyrian steel as well. Dany, hearing stories of this sword growing up, knows exactly what this is. She takes it with her and makes her way back to Jon. All eight dragons are on top of the Red Keep now and they let out a mighty roar of victory. All eight direwolves let out a howl. Ghost comes trotting over with a slightly smaller direwolf, (Ghost was larger than all the other direwolves). His friend is all black with with red hairs blended into her fur. Ghost kneels in front of Jon so he could get on him and the black direwolf kneels in front of Dany. Both Jon and Dany look surprised, and Dany hesitates to mount her but she does. Jon and Dany ride their way into the city for their victory, and everyone is cheering and celebrating so loud, Dany was sure even Daario would be able to hear it in Meereen. Their direwolves carry them up the steps to the Red Keep, with the three younger direwolves now joining in behind them. Dany and Jon dismount and stand next to each other holding hands. Dany looks to her left and she sees Missandei, Grey Worm, Tyrion, Jamie, Octavia, Varys, and Ellaria clapping and smiling at them with the crowd. For a brief moment, could have sworn she saw Jorah, Ser Barristan, Drogo, and her brother Rhaegar clapping there as well. Jon looks to his right and sees Gendry, Meera, Arya, Yara, Sansa, Tormund, Brienne, and Sandor smiling and clapping with the crowd. Dany closes her eyes for a few moments to take it all in. Jon turns to her and grabs her shoulders and says, “you did it!” Jon gets down on the ground to bend his knee and the entire crowd follows his lead. “We both did it. A king does not bend his knee. If you notice, the Stark and Targaryen banners are flying together” said Dany as she takes his arm and pulls him up. Dany then turns toward the crowd and says “Jon Stark and I are promised to each other. I am proud to be your Queen, and I hope all of you can accept Jon as your King!” The crowd roars louder. Dany and Jon face each other now and they kiss long and hard. Before she dismisses the crowd, she says a few more statements to her people. “All healers, please set up a station to treat the wounded. As for everyone else, please join and celebrate with us tonight. Tonight is the first night of the new world!” The crowd cheers again.

The whole city parties all night long. The Dothraki, Unsullied, Northmen, Freefolk, and others from all over Westeros drink and eat together.

Chapter 5 will come soon.
