That evening, they had a funeral for Boar the Fighter, Felldoh, and all the others who had fallen in battle.
"I'm sorry about what happened to your Badger Lord," Dany said to the hares who had come from Salamandastron.
The hare Trubbs had tears in his eyes, but he said, "That's quite all right, old chap. It wasn't your fault. You couldn't have known about that magical horn. Boar was a brave beast. He went out fightin', an' that's the way he'd've wanted to go, wot wot! But the rest of us Long Patrol hares are still with you, true blue an' never fail!"
"Thank you," said Dany. "Boar said hares were loyal to the end. I can see he was right."
"But I say, look on the bright side," said a female hare named Harebell. "We managed to drive the bally invaders away from our island, and the dragons destroyed half their fleet. At least we've shown King Joffrey he's not going to have things all his own way."
Dany said, "Our success today was due to one person… and it wasn't me." She walked over to where Stewie, Brian, and Meg were standing. "Stewie Griffin, because of you, we were able to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat today. When Brian first told me about your powers, I didn't believe him, but it seems they were real after all. You freed my children from the spell of the dragonhorn."
"Why do you keep calling the dragons your children?" Stewie asked. "That's kinda weird."
"Anyway, I owe you a great debt, Stewie," Dany finished.
Stewie said gravely, "You can repay me by moving your army north to help me and Brian face the Hwite Hwalkers."
Dany frowned. "Why did you say it like that?"
"Like what? I'm just saying Hwite Hwalkers."
"Why are you putting so much emphasis on the H?"
"What's up with you, Dany?" said Meg. "You're acting hweird."
"Oh, come on!" said Dany. "That one doesn't even have an H in it!"
"Never mind about that," said Brian quickly. He was used to Stewie's strange pronunciations. "But we really do need help against the White Walkers."
"I can't move my armies north until I've defeated Joffrey," Dany said stubbornly.
Just then, Brian had an idea. "What if we told Joffrey about the White Walkers? Then maybe he'd be willing to call a truce until they were defeated."
"No one can explain anything to Joffrey," said Tyrion. "I should know."
"We don't have to explain it ourselves," said Stewie suddenly. "We can show him irrefutable proof!"
Dany was intrigued. "You've got some kind of plan, I can tell! What are you thinking of?"
"Brian and I could go up north beyond the Wall and capture a wight," Stewie said excitedly. "Then we could put him in a crate and bring him back to King's Landing to show Joffrey."
Brian scratched his head. "Sounds good, but how are we gonna capture one?"
"We could dig a pit, and the wight would fall into it," said Stewie. "Then we could haul him up in a net or something."
Brian was warming to the idea. "Maybe Tormund could help us. I sent him to Eastwatch."
"Perfect!" cried Stewie. "We'll teleport there first thing tomorrow!"

In his throne room, Joffrey glared at the ironborn captain who stood before him. "You mean to tell me that Euron Greyjoy is dead?"
The ironman nodded. "And his brother Victorian too."
"What happened? Didn't the dragonhorn work?"
"It seemed to at first," said the captain. "As we approached the island, Daenerys and her dragons came out to meet us. Euron blew the horn- or rather, had someone blow it for him. Instantly the dragons were transfixed by the horn's spell. Euron commanded them to turn around and attack Dragonstone Castle, and at first it appeared they were goin' to obey. But then suddenly they reversed course, flew back to the fleet, and started attackin' us instead! I saw Euron's ship Silence burn, and Victorian's ship Iron Victory, and a bunch of others! The rest of us were forced to retreat."
"And what about my uncle Jaime?" Joffrey demanded.
"I don't know what became of him."

At present, Jaime Lannister was somewhere beneath the sea. His new octopus body enabled him to breathe underwater. He was trying to swim back to King's Landing. Now that he had seen the damage dragons could do, he knew Joffrey would be no match for them. He had to keep Joffrey safe, along with his other two children, Myrcella and Tommen. He was determined to return to the capital, so he could protect these three royal children who didn't know he was their father.
