Author's Note: Ok, you probably wondering what is happening in Meereen right now... well I'm not ready to write that chapter yet however now were going to see the aftermath of Harrenhal.
The Phoenix and Stannis finally having a talk on who should take the Iron Throne. Can the Phoenix convince a prideful and stubborn man like Stannis to give up his claim or can Stannis convince the Phoenix to give up on the Dragon Queen from the East... well lets see what happens.
Harrenhal recovering from the battle it had days ago. Brynden and Edmure are shown piling both enemy and ally bodies only in separate piles though.
Brynden: What should we do with the Mountain body.
Edmure: The Phoenix has plans for Gregor Clegane body. Leave it be Uncle.
Brynden and Edmure continue helping with the bodies.
Kalimar is tending to Oberyn in one of the chambers; well his daughters are mostly, but Kalimar comes to see how he doing.
Kalimar: You alright Prince Oberyn?
Oberyn: I almost had him.
Kalimar: I think he almost had you there. Luckily I saved you from death. And in Braavos they say something to Death.
Oberyn knowing the say.
Oberyn: Not today.
Kalimar: Right. Not today.
Kalimar puts some type of medicine for the pain that Oberyn might be feeling. He about to leave until he gets stopped by Tyene Sand.
Tyene: Wait! I just wanna thank you for saving my father from the Mountain.
Kalimar: It was no problem my lady.
Tyene grabs his shoulders.
Tyene: Perhaps there is something I can do to show my gratitude. Like maybe...
She begins to undo her outfit, showing him her great body. Kalimar looks like he about to touch her, but instead ties her outfit up.
Kalimar: That would be great. But I believe my heart belongs to someone else, I mean your beautiful; many Dornish woman are. But you and I... I'm sorry.
She seems to understand, however she seems to not wanna give up having him.
Tyene: (seductively) Who is this woman?
Kalimar: Sansa Stark of Winterfell.
Tyene: Well she'll never know.
Kalimar pushes her away.
Kalimar: No... listen I know you'll meet a man... but I'm not him.
Kalimar walks away from Tyene and towards where his father is.
Stannis and Ser Davos are shown with the Phoenix talking to one another.
Phoenix: I understand why your trying to take the throne. But I already swore my sword and my loyalty to Daenerys Targaryen, and I vowed to get her on that throne.
Stannis: Why serve a girl across the narrow sea into another continent. If anything I'm you best choice, her claim to the throne is gone, it now belongs to House Baratheon.
Phoenix: Her claim was never gone. As long as she lives it can't be gone. It is just as strong as your only, she's loved by the common people and she has three dragons growing everyday.
Stannis: The Iron Throne is mine by right. Her family had their chance until Rhaegar Targaryen decided to take Lyanna Stark and his mad father Aerys had Ned Stark father and older brother killed. They lost their right to the Iron Throne years ago.
Phoenix: She not like her father.
Stannis: Have you met him, that man was mad beyond help.
Phoenix: Not him, but I had my share of meeting mad men like him. And she is not him.
Kalimar enters during Stannis words.
Phoenix: Besides your brother drank and whore his way out of the throne, I mean it took a wild bore to kill him out of all the men in the country that could of done the job.
Stannis: Watch yourself sellsword. I may not have the throne yet, but I am King of the Seven Kingdoms. You don't want those words being your last.
Phoenix: I'm not a sellsword, I just have the appearance of one. You ain't going to do nothing. You need me, or why else have you come.
Stannis: Why did I come if there's no convincing you?
Phoenix: Good question, why?
Stannis: I need the Iron Throne not because it's my duty as blood, but because of it's my duty to the realm. And as long as Joffrey is king; him and his family eyes remains blind by what's happening beyond the wall.
Phoenix: What do you mean what's happening beyond the wall... Stannis? The Wilding Army? You took care of that did you?
Davos: We did, but it turns out they were trying to get far South as possible, because something that once existed thousands and thousands of years ago has finally returned.
Phoenix: The White Walkers?
Stannis nods. Kalimar turns around after hearing those words.
Stannis: you heard of them?
Phoenix: Where I come from, we had copies of books and scrolls that Westeros has. Tell me more.
Stannis: A young man from the Nights Watch name Samwell Tarley witness not only the White Walkers return, but they gathered an army of the dead and they're making their way to the Wall to bring another Long Night to Westeros. They're coming for all of us, and I need to get to the throne to use that power as king to stop it.
Phoenix: How can you be so sure?
Stannis: Because I have a Red Priestess who can see things in fire and she saw them as well. They're back... and I need all of Westeros to unite to stop them.
Phoenix: And they will but not by your hand or by mine.
Stannis: You're still siding with the Targaryen girl.
Phoenix: Yes. And me and her share the same view of what you must do.
Stannis: Tell me.
Phoenix: No... I'll show you.
Stannis looks at Davos in by what does he mean by that.
The Phoenix has a map taken out of both Ulthos and Westeros. Stannis looking at both.
Phoenix: In my country we don't have a king and advisors ruling over it. It is run by a large council of free citizens and barons, and like all councils, they need someone as a head of it, however to prevent the head from ever taking full power for him or herself, he or she gets only limited power, but also gets a say in important matters.
Stannis: Where does Daenerys fit in with this.
Phoenix: Right. The council and the head made a charter of rights that gives freedom and equality for all the people of Ulthos, and thats what Daenerys intends to do. Free Westeros from this circle of power. Lord fighting Lords, one upper on the other so on, so on. And that is what I want for your country as well.
Stannis: Destroying the Monarch.
Phoenix: Not the Monarch, the Feudal system that Westeros, by uniting the lords of Westeros and the people with too freedom and equality as well.
Stannis: I am interested. Very interested, that is some ambition.
Phoenix: Thank you.
Stannis: This new system of government, will rights be rewritten for the people as well? I have a daughter that I love and for her to lose The Stormlands and Dragonstone over the man she might marry would seem to unfair for me.
Phoenix: Common people, Ladies of these regions, lower houses, you name it. But how she'll do it, well that is something I will tell you some other time. So do we have a deal, sign away your claim.
Stannis seems imposed by this idea. A free Westeros filled with unity and equality for all.
Stannis: Very well, you have my support and an agreement.
Davos: Stannis you worked to hard to get where your at now, are you sure.
Stannis: Yes. This is a good idea, it's seems to be the only way to end this game of power. People like the Lannisters, Tyrells need to be stop and this new government is the key. I'll support it.
Stannis reaches his hand out offering a handshake. The Phoenix shakes the hand of the Stag.
The Phoenix slips a sheet, which is an advocating sheet. Stannis pauses to read it and at first reluctant to sign but does so anyways.
Stannis: So to do this, you have to win this Game of Thrones do you.
Phoenix: Yes... Win it... and Destroy it, permanently.
Edmure and Brynden Tully later join The Phoenix and Stannis for a feast. Kalimar is shown sitting down next to his father.
Phoenix: Lord Edmure, Lord Brynden... let me give you my thanks for meeting me and my calvarly in the battlefield, the war would have been lost if you didn't show up.
Brynden: You got my nephew out of the Twins, you helped my Grand Niece get control of the North and helped her avenge her mother and brother. We owed you big time.
Edmure: Showing up was the least we could do. Now that we beaten the Mountain and his forces and have the Loras Tyrell hostage, we hold the upper hand.
Kalimar: You know since we won this battle, I think it's about time I head to the Eyrie to get Arya Stark.
Edmure: Arya Stark. My other grand niece?
Kalimar: Yes, Sansa sister.
Stannis: And you said the Eyrie?
Kalimar: Yes.
Stannis: (to the Phoenix) I knew the Lord of the Vale personally, Jon Arryn. He was a noble man and when I had my suspicion of Cersei children I asked Jon Arryn to investigate it for me. He did, and the secret died with him... but before he died Jon asked me to foster his son, it has been a tradition for lords of Westeros to foster another lord son as a way to rough him up, prepare him not only to be a lord but an excellent fighter and soldier as well. Jon Arryn chose me because I was a proven battle commander and I also destroyed the Greyjoy Fleet. However I never got the chance after Jon Arryn died. Even after his death his mother would never allow it. I swear that woman Lysa Arryn spoiled her son to a point that he she still breast feeds him at six.
Phoenix: (Rhetorical) What was the secret? That Joffrey, Tommen and Myrcella are born from incest, I'm quite aware of that.
Stannis takes out the letter written to him by Eddard Stark and hands it to the Phoenix.
Stannis: Yes, Read that and keep it. It might come in handy for you.
Kalimar: How did Jon Arryn die Stannis?
Stannis pauses, it a painful answer because Jon Arryn was a mentor not just to him but to his older brother and Ned Stark.
Stannis: He was poisoned, which from what I hear is a woman weapon. So I'm convinced it was that Cersei.
Which reminds him about Cersei Lannister and her children.
Stannis: Lord Stark, found out about it too, and supported my claim and when he tried to get rid of Cersei and Joffrey control over the realm and act as protector of the realm while I got there. Of course he was betrayed and killed and the secret too died with him... well almost died with him... I know, you know, all of you's know. Perhaps you can expose the truth.
Phoenix: I'll try. I may be cunning and very intelligent but It's hard to prove something when the only evidence is the letter. But this can prove that he wasn't a traitor.
Kalimar seems to be done.
Kalimar: I better get ready to leave for the Eyrie tomorrow. Hopefully I can work something out with Lysa Arryn.
Brynden: Let me come with you. Lysa is my niece and I think she willing to listen to family.
Phoenix: It's best you go with. I know my best spy Alto is there and he just recently sent me a raven. Petyre Baelish is there, and Kalimar Alto said on his letter that if you are to go; use extreme precaution, for you might walk in a trap.
Kalimar: Can't you come father.
Phoenix: I'll be heading West, to the Westerlands. Will you join me Stannis?
Stannis: Why not?
Phoenix: Tully?
Edmure: I think I should stay, and gather more men... now that the Riverlands are free from Lannister Forces I should assembled more men as possible to defend it if anymore Lannister forces should try to come through here again.
Phoenix: Then we gather in the Crownlands when the time comes.
Kalimar leaves the feast.
Kalimar: My Lords.
Author's Note: I know it wasn't much of a chapter, but how cool was it for Stannis and the Phoenix to have dialogue over who should get the throne. And I guess it was the Phoenix who was able to convince Stannis by revealing his Endgame to him. It probably was the only thing to do convince Stannis to let Daenerys have the Iron Throne. So what did you guys think of the Phoenix end game and the fact that Daenerys agrees with it?
