EPISODE. 10. TARGARYEN BLOOD
Without the Night King the dead went back to sleep. The living piled up bones and dead bodies and burned them. As they worked Jon and the three Dragons stood guard over the Night King. With Lightbringer in his head the rest of the body remained still even though it was in three large pieces. "Someone is coming!" A man screamed from the tower. Everyone stood in awe as the legendary Children of the forest appeared.
The leader a male with pale green skin and what seemed like gold dust covering his body walks up to Jon. "The Prince who was promised…I am known as Elar…We have come to take the Night King's body and return it to his prison…In order to seal the tomb we need you son of Azar…"
"I will come with you…"
"Good we also need to speak with the three eyed Raven…" Bran is bought before them and when he appears they bow, "Great Raven…you have grown in power…But a choice you must make…You can either remain here or come with us…"
Bran looks at Meera, "I think I would like to stay here…"
"As you wish…The Raven before you lived many long years…We can teach you to meld with the were-tree here…"
Bran shakes his head, "I am fine as is…"
"Then when the time comes for the next Raven we shall return…" Elar looks at Jon as the other children collect the head, torso, and legs. "We will await you in the north twenty miles east of the great were-tree…"
Not long after Elar and his people left Jon and Daenarys fly on their Dragons heading North. They stop to rest in Moes Town which is deserted. Then thy fly on, stopping at the fist of the first men to rest. Then the two riders fly until they reach the tomb where Elar and his people wait. "If you made him can't you destroy him?" Jon asks.
"Through blood magic he feeds on the evil that men commits…and has learned to dine on the misery and suffering of others…In time his power will grow and he will break the seals of his prison again…It has happened before I am sorry…" They place each piece of the Night King's body in a wooden sarcophagus and place them in the cave. Then Jon runs his hand on a blade and smears his blood on the obelisks in front of the cave. "There all done…" Elar looks at Jon, "Thank you and now we have a gift for Mother of Dragons…If she will allow me…"
"A gift what gift?"
"You will see…" Elar walks up to Dany and places his hand on her womb. Heat passes into her body and she goes to her knees. "May the old gods watch over you both…"
Jon runs to her side, "What did you do to her…"
Elar smiles and gives Jon a Horn, "When the men of the Night Watch wish to rebuild the wall blow this Horn." Then Elar and his followers run off into the wild.
WINTERFELL
A week later Jon and Daenarys return to Winterfell, ravens are sent out to all corners of Westeros declaring the victory over the White Walkers. Jon and Dany meet in private to discuss their personal future. "So what is it to be my love? Stark or Targaryen…" Dany asks with the paper sitting in front of her.
Jon sighs, "Targaryen has a nice ring to it…Daenarys Stark doesn't sound right…"
She smiles signing his name, "Oh I had no intention of giving up my name…"
"Really…" Jon walks up to her and starts to rub her shoulders and his hands wonder down to her breasts.
"Now who has no self control…" He kisses her neck, "There are people waiting on us…"
"Right!"
They meet in courtyard as people are already packing up to leave and return to their homes and lands. Jon clears his throat, "I thank you all for your faith me in and naming me King in the North…" Jon looks at Dany and takes her hand, "But I am in love with Daenarys…So I abdicate the throne in the North to my brother…Brandon Stark…May his reign in the North be a long one…"
"Jon…I…I can't be King…"
"Why not?" Arya asks.
"I made a promise to your sister…" Daenarys says speaking up, "If Jon and I marry how can the North have its independence?"
"A Stark must always rule at Winterfell…Its you Bran…"
"Accept it…" Lyanna Mormont says.
"Very well…I shall be King in the North…"
Dany smiles and looks at Gendry, "Gendry Waters would you please come here and take a knee…" He gets up and walks around the table taking a knee before Daenarys. "I Daenarys Stormborn…of House Targaryen…Mother of Dragons…the Unburnt…Khaleesi of the grass sea…Queen of the Andels and the First Men…Protector of the Realm…Sovereign of the Southern kingdoms and Dragon's Bay of Essos…I grant thee the name of your sire Robert Baratheon and bestow all titles and lands…From this day forth you shall be known as Gendry Baratheon…"
"Thank you your majesty…" Gendry looks at Arya and holds his hand out, "Arya Stark of Winterfell…I love you…" He says taking a knee in front of everyone, "Will you become my wife…"
"I will…" she says. Everyone claps and congratulates them.
Now Dany turns her attention to Lady Mormont, "Lady Mormont…Your Uncle Sir Jorah Mormont serves me…As such I have pardoned him…"
"Excuse my rudeness your grace…You may have pardoned Jorah Mormont…But the stain of his crime against his family and people cannot be forgiven…He has no place on Bear Island or at Stone Bear…"
She nods and looks at Gendry, "Lord Gendry…Will you find a place for Jorah Mormont among your Banners…"
He nods, "I will your majesty…"
"As far as territories go the Northern Kingdom will extend to the Pink Maiden and the Vale…From Harrenhal south will be my domain…"
Papers are signed after Bran legitimizes Mya Stone so she can marry Robin Arryn. Dany also offers Sir Davos Hand of the Queen, but he refuses as he wishes to return home and be with his own family. Then Jon walks up to Samwell Tarly holding Longclaw, "I spoke with the remaining Knights of the Watch and they all agreed…So you my friend are now the 1,000th Lord Commander of the Watch…"
Sam reverently takes the sword, "I can't…I am not worthy…"
Jon smiles, "You killed a White Walker…You killed a Thenn…You saved Gilly…You found Lightbringer…I can think of no one more deserving…"
Sam takes the sword, "Until my watch ends…"
They break but no one leaves Winterfell as they plan a wedding for Gendry and Arya. It is held the ancient traditions of the North before a Were-tree. It is the largest wedding the North has ever seen. The morning both Jon and Dany leave for the wall before heading for King's Landing. When Jon blows the horn they watch in amazement as the rubble of the wall comes back together as if nothing happened.
KING'S LANDING
Jon and Dany make several stops on their way to King's Landing. They stop at the windmill, then at the Twins despite the ashen smell. Then its on to the Pink Maiden where Daenarys has morning sickness. "I think I know what Elar's gift was…"
"What?" Jon asks.
She smiles, "I'm preganant…"
"How is that a gift? Is he the father?'
Dany laughs, "You are the father! I was married to Khal Drago before…I lost the child… A healer told me that I would never have anymore children…and now growing inside me at this minute is our baby…"
Jon grabs her and holds her in his arms. They must wait five more days before leaving as all three Dragons had gone hunting. When they return they immediately leave and don't stop until they reach King's Landing.
TYRION LANNISTER
Tyrion is summoned to a private meeting with Daenaerys and Jon, "Your grace…My Lord what may I do for the two of you?"
"We have something to tell you or rather show you…" Daenarys says and looks up at Jon who stands beside her. Jon reaches into his robe and hands Tyrion the book. Sam had given it to him upon request.
Tyrion takes the book and opens it, "The pages are blank…"
Jon sighs, 'Show us the history of House Lannister…"
The jewel on the front of the book flashes and Dany gestures to Tyrion. He opens the book and gasps. "House Lannister was founded during the age of heroes by Lann the Clever…"
Dany interrupts him, "Skip ahead to your birth…"
Tyrion looks at her then he flips through the pages and comes to the rule of Tywin Lannister. He reads how the mad King tricked Tywin and Joanna to the capital and raped Joanna. A year later he is born and his mother Joanna dies. A tear slides down his cheek, "Why show this to me?"
"I am sorry Lord Tyrion…It had to be so…You are the third head of the Dragon…In my family there has always been three Prime Dragon Riders at anytime…You are the third…"
Tyrion places the book on the desk, "If you will excuse me your grace I need to be alone…" Tyrion leaves the study and starts walking until he finds a servant. "A bottle of wine please…" He drinks and walks until he finds his way to Jaime's room. "Ah brother…"
Jaime spins around in his wheeled chair, "Tyrion…" he frowns, "What is wrong?"
Tyrion drops on the floor next to him, "Come brother drink with me…Lets wash away the cares of the world…" They polish off the bottle and order another. "Tell me brother…do you still despise me?"
Jaime sighs, "Why ruin the mood with such a question?"
"Because after I tell what I am about to tell you will have as much reason to hate me as Cersei and your father did…"
Jaime pauses with bottle close to his mouth and looks at Tyrion, "Why did you say your father?"
"Turns out I am only half Lannister…Our mother was raped by the Mad King…"
"What in the seven hells are you talking about…"
Jaime listens as Tyrion tells him about the magic book Jon and Dany showed him and the revelation he got from it. "So you see on top of killing mother…I am the son of the Mad King…"
Jaime takes a drink from the bottle, "You know that means you are the King…"
Tyrion shakes his head, "Nope not for me…Sit on the Ugly chair and wind up like Robert…and all the others who passed after claiming to be King…No thank you…"
Jaime hands him the bottle, "Wait a minute…Does this mean you can ride one of the Dragons…"
"I am not sure…"
Jaime sighs, "You should find out…"
After sobering up Tyrion speaks with Dany about the Dragons and she takes him to Rhaegal. Unlike with Jon Dany did not have wake the Dragon. Tyrion screams at the top of his lungs as Rhaegal climbs higher and higher. They go into a dive as Tyrion uses the Valyrian commands Dany taught him.
