EPISODE 9. LAST STAND
WINTERFELL
The doors to the study open, Jon and Daenarys enter to speak alone. "So your grace…" Dany says speaking first.
Jon smiles, "Please call me Jon…"
"Okay Jon. but only if you call me Dany…"
"Dany that's cute…I mean…"
"You think my name is cute?"
"I think your name is as beautiful as you are…"
She sighs lustfully, "Um Viserion…did you bond with him…"
"Yes…I mean no…I am not sure…I feel something when he is near…My brother says I must accept who I am as a Stark and a Targaryen…"
"Its called waking the Dragon…My brother use to threaten me with it…I didn't really understand it until after…" She is thinking of Khal Drago.
"After what?" Jon asks.
"Nothing…What is holding you back?"
"Growing up in this place…Lady Catelyn always resented me…Never missed an opportunity to remind me that I am a bastard…And all that time I was not…The man I called father let me join the Knight's Watch thinking I was a bastard…"
"You sound angry…"
"Wouldn't you be…All that time…all the times I asked about my mother…"
Daenarys walks up to him, "From what Arya told me about Lord Eddard Stark…I am sure he had his reasons…"
"What else did she tell you?"
"That all her siblings love you and didn't think of you as bastard…That you will always be her brother…"
They lean in and kiss, "What are we doing?" Jon asks.
"Its called kissing…You've never done it before?"
"Yes, but technically you are my aunt…"
"I can't help it…Its like…"
"Two fires drawn to each…" He says finishing her sentence.
They kiss more passionately and start fondling each other. "We need to wake the Dragon in you…" Daenarys says.
He grabs her hand and directs it towards his cock, "I think you already have…"
She pushes him away and takes a few steps back, "No I mean…"
"I know what you mean…"
She sighs, "You are a Stark, but you are also Targaryen…Our words are Fire and Blood…I know how we can wake the Dragon…"
That was the conversation Daenarys and Jon had three days ago after Dany arrived on her Dragons with Arya, Gendry, and Unella. After they talk Dany takes Jon to Drogon and orders the Dragon to burn them with his fire. Both Dany and Jon emerge from the fire unscathed and Jon's black Hair is now as white as Daenarys. Since then the two had been unable to keep their hands off each other. Together they flew out on their Dragons with Rhaegal following to search out the dead army. There was no sign of the Night King or his Walker Army.
When they stopped in an abandoned village the two entered an empty house and made love. Daenarys rides Jon slowly savoring every thrust and movement of her body with his cock inside her. They try every position they could think of. She even allows him to enter her ass. Jon gives her more pleasure than any lover she has ever had.
"I love you…" Jon says forgetting the pain of losing Ygritte.
Dany smiles, "I love you more…"
A sound catches their attention Jon goes to the window and the village is filled with the dead, "Shit Walkers!" He looks at Dany "Stay here." He says grabbing Lightbringer. Jon runs outside and activates the sword. It bursts into flames and shines a brilliant light that engulfs the village. When the light fades hundreds of Whites are on fire, but more keep coming and this time there is a blue eyed White Walker with them. It touches the ground unleashing a line of spiked ice. Jon sticks Lightbringer in the ground melting the snow and the ice sickles.
A flaming arrow zips overhead and strikes a White. Jon looks at Dany who is on the roof of the house shooting flaming arrows. A roar fills the air as all three Dragons return and spew fire on the Whites who retreat.
"Perhaps stopping to make love in an abandoned village wasn't a good idea…" Dany yells from the rooftop.
"Well you're the one who can't keep her hands to herself…Do you Targaryens have any self control?" Dany huffs and throws a snowball at Jon hitting him in the head.
WINTERFELL
Bran is in a trance searching for the Night King through birds, wolves, and people. He goes to Moat Cailin. Thousands of refugees flee to the castle. He checks Stonyshore there is no sign of the King. He enters the mind of a man on the wall at White Harbor. Thousands of flaming arrows are fired from the wall by men woman and children as the dead storm the city. Then Bran sees him the Night King with his four generals.
("Tell Lord Manderly help is on the way…") Bran says to the man. Then he locates Nymeria who is leading hundreds of Wolves North. At the wall Bran had found Nymeria leading a large pack of wolves that was getting bigger. Now he urged the pack that is a 120 strong to attack the Night King's army. Then he contacts Jon and Dany.
("Jon I found him…The Night King is attacking White Harbor…Hurry I don't know how long they will hold out…")
WHITE HARBOR
The battle is hopeless as the dead create a wall of corpses up and up to the top and kill everyone in their path. The gates to the city freeze and shatter allowing the whites storm into the city. Those who cannot fight run for the docks and the ships in the harbor. Others run for the castle and barricade themselves inside. Lord Manderly himself decides to remain in the castle with his men to defend it. He sends the rest of his family to the docks. When a ship is full it sets sail for the south.
Then the Walkers pause as a roar fills the air. A gust of wind rocks the trees and shatters glass. Everyone looks up as three Dragons descend on the city. The people cheer as the Walkers are roasted in Dragon Fire. Jon leaps off Viserion and lands before the Night King with Lightbringer.
When the Night King speaks a cold chill runs through Jon's body, "You may wield Azar Ahai's sword Jon Snow of Winterfell…But you are no Azar…You are just a bastard…And you will die!"
"We will see about that…" Jon attacks Azar who blocks his sword with a mace made of black iron or something.
"Jon look out!" Dany screams as White Walker tries to flank him. "Dracaerys…nim' Loa!"The light of the sword weakens the Night king and the White Walker. Jon spins around decapitating the White and taking the Night King's left arm. Weakened he retreats with his dead army into the mists.
Dany shoots an arrow past Jon into a Walker. He looks back, "Who taught you to shoot anyway…"
"Arya did while we were traveling to Winterfell…"
Lord Maderly holds a feast for the two Dragon Riders. But as soon as they can they sneak away somewhere private and make love. The next day Jon tries to convince Lord Manderly to head south, but he refuses stating that he will die in his home. Jon decides to leave that day and Dany agrees.
WINTERFELL
Bran and Sansa are alone with Arya discussing family business and each other's adventures, adventures for Arya and Bran; heartache and pain for Sansa. "And what of Sandor Clegane?" Arya asks.
"What about him?" Sansa asks defensively.
"I see the way you look at each other…"
Sansa tries to hit Arya, but she catches her hand by the wrist. "Too slow big sister…"
Sansa yanks her hand away, "What about you and Gendry?"
"I am going to marry him if he will have me…"
"What if he doesn't!"
"I will cross that road when I get to it…"
"I like Gendry." Bran says, "He grounds you especially after all that killing you did…"
Arya gets up and walks to the window, "Its your turn Arya…" Sansa says. "I heard a few things from Brienne and Sandor we even figured a few things out from what Edmure told us…But I want to hear it all from you…"
"No you don't!" Arya replies with her back to them.
"We are concerned…" Bran says in a sage like manor, "I mean do you like killing?"
Arya sighs, "Not in that way…But to rid the world of unsavory people yes…"
"Arya I am sorry…I wish I had been a better older sister to you…"
Arya smiles, "There is no need to apologize…You like sowing and needle point…I like pointy things and horses…"
"We are still sisters and I love you…"
She looks at Sansa, "I love you as well the both of you…"
BRIENNE
Brienne stands outside the door on guard duty. Tormund walks up to her, "Would you like something to eat?"
"I'm on duty it would not be right…"
"You still have to eat…Maybe someone else can take the post…"
She sighs in exasperation, "What game are you playing…Who did you make a bet with…Whatever it is get it over with and leave me be."
He slams the tray down, "Damn it woman I'm trying to be nice to you…I ain't playing no games…Don't know how…If you were of the free folk…Well things would be different…"
The door opens and Sansa peaks her head out, "Is everything alright…Oh Tormund…"
"Sorry to disturb you Lady Stark…I dropped this tray I bought for Brienne here that's all."
"I think he likes her…" Bran says from inside the room.
Sansa looks at Brienne, "Lady Brienne if you need a break please take one…" She says mischievously.
"No thank you M'Lady I am fine…"
"Brienne I am inside the castle take a break that is an order…" Sansa winks at Tormund and closes the door.
"I'm sorry if I got you into trouble…"
"You didn't…" She looks at him, "I'm sorry…thankyou for thinking about me…"
A servant walks u to clean up the mess, "Well that is a start. Leave it I will get it…"
"No problem m'lord…"
"I am not a lord…"
Tormund finds Posrick practicing sword play in the courtyard and watches until he is done. "Hay kid can I ask you a question about your lady?"
Pod looks across the yard as Brienne makes her way to the wine cellar. All the food and wine had been removed to the old tower after all the holes and leaks had been repaired. The cellar converted into a mess hall. "What do you wish to know?"
"Why is she so mean? Untrusting to men…She like women or something…"
"Uh no…Sir why do you ask…"
"I wanna know her better that's all as you knee benders say win her heart…"
"Well its kinda complicated…I am not sure I should be speaking of such things…"
"If she asks tell her I threatened you…"
"Well you see what kind of woman she is…I asked her about King Renly…"
"Who is Renly?"
Podrik takes a few minutes to explain about Renly, "She is not as pretty as Lady Sansa or Daenarys…That can be hard on a female growing up in a castle daughter of a lord and all…She has been mocked on more than one occasion…Disrespected because she is a woman…"
"Oh so how do I win her?"
"Normally I would say read her poetry…"
"I can't read…"
"Yeah I figured that…and Lady Brienne is not the poetry type…Challenge her to a sparring match."
Brienne is sitting alone eating when Tormund walks up, "So I was wondering if you would like to practice…Have a sparring match." She looks at him and after eating follows him to the courtyard. Pod grabs practice swords and they begin. "So lets make it interesting…If I win I get a kiss…"
She looks at him, "And if I win what do I get?"
"I will leave you alone from now on…"
Some people stop to watch when metal strikes metal. As they begin Sansa, Arya, and Bran who is in a wheeled chair come out to watch as well. As they fight back and forth the two stare into one another's eyes. After ten moves Brienne knocks his sword from his and places it to his throat. "I guess you win…You would have enjoyed the kiss…" He bows, "As I promised m'lady I will never bother you again…You have the word of Tormund Giant's Bane."
Pod walks up to Brienne, "If I were a woman, and a man fancied me like that I wouldn't let him get away." She looks at Pod, "I'll mind my own business…"
"Pod wait!" He walks back towards Brienne, "What if he is playing games?"
"M'lady he is a Wi…I mean he is of the free folk…From what I have observed of them they don't seem the type to play those kind of games…"
She walks up to Tormund who is sitting by a fire with several wildlings talking. When she approaches he stands, "M'lady…"
"Look at him all southern fancy talk…milady…"
"Shut up Keena or I'll bash you in the head…"
Brienne looks at them then Tormund, "So I would like to amend our wager…"
"And what do you want now?"
"A kiss would be nice…"
"Ooh!" The others say as Brienne and Tormund kiss.
GENDRY AND ARYA
Gendry is in the forge helping to make arrows and spears. "Break for midday meal!" The Black Smith Mikken yells.
Gendry had gone two feet when Arya appears out of nowhere, "By the gods woman stop doing that…"
She kisses him ignoring looks from others. The lovers shared a room. Both Sansa and Jon protested when they found out about it. Bran was more accepting as he liked Gendry and said that all of them had been through too much to stand on customs. Eventually Jon and Sansa warmed up to the idea especially after Arya told them that Daenarys promised to legitimize Gendry and give him Wardenship of the Stormlands.
"There are some things I need to tell you…"
"What?"
Arya's face twist then she runs to a corner and heaves, "Damn I hate that…"
"Are you alright…Don't think I haven't noticed you in the morning…Always throwing up…"
"Right that is what I want to talk with you about…Do you love me…"
He grabs her arms, "You know I do…" She just stares at him, "Yes Arya Stark I love you…"
She spits, "Good…What are your plans for the future?"
"We talked about this…I will save up some gold and when I have enough I will ask Jon or Bran for your hand…"
"I made a deal with Dany…"
"You told me already…"
"Not this part…She plans to legitimize you…Soon you will be Gendry Baratheon…" He stares dumbfounded, "There is more…since all the legitimate Baratheons are dead…She will give you Lordship of Storm's End and Wardenship of the Stormlands…"
Gendry takes a seat on the barrel, "Me a lord…I am no lord…"
"Not yet…I will be there to help you if you wish…"
He stands up and nods, "I wish it…But if I am to be a Lord…I don't want the people under our charge to be starving…"
She hits him, "Do the people under my family's care seem like they are suffering?"
"No…"
"I do have one condition…" Arya says.
"What?"
"If we have girl I don't want her to be raised like a prissy little princess…If she is born first she will inherit first…"
"We have plenty of time for children…"
"Yeah…we have eight months and three weeks…" She replies holding her stomach.
Gendry stretches his eyes and looks around, "Are you?'
She places her finger on his lips, "Shush…" Then she nods.
"I'm going to be a father…" She nods again smiling, then he picks her up and they hug passionately.
EDMURE AND ROSALIN
It took a few weeks but Rosalin was feeling better enough to walk around. They named their baby after Ed's father, Hoster Tully II of his name. "If we have anymore children a girl I want to name her Minisa after your mother…or Brynden if we have another boy…" Rosalin says feeding the baby.
"We have plenty of time…" Edmure replies.
She looks at him, "Are you alright?"
"You were so weak after you had Hoster…"
"The Maester says I am fine…"
"I have lost so much because of that fucking war…" He looks at her and they kiss, "I don't want to lose you…I would rather have one child and grow old with you then have two and you not be here…"
"And it would kill me daily to not be able to give you many sons and daughters…We both lost our families…Lets rebuild…"
He smiles, "We can and we will…Lets just wait a few years before we have another child…"
They kiss again, "If it will put my husband's mind at ease…"
"WHITE WALKERS!" A man on watch yells. Edmure kisses Rosalin, then his son, and grabs his sword. The castle comes to life as people arm themselves. Even Sansa has a bow as she has been learning from Arya. Gendry joins them having made a new bulls helmet and a wolf helm for Arya. Unella is armed with a bow and has a sword on her hip, her lessons progressing with Arya.
"Load those damn catapults!" Davos screams, "Move your asses…"
They come out in hoards some are just bones and rags, others are dead rotting flesh running towards the hill top castle. Some are freshly dead corpses wearing White Harbor armor. "Fire trap one!" Davos yells. The long fuse is lit and by the time it reaches the trap hundreds of whites are over it. There is a huge explosion and the people cheer. "Set off two three and four…Now!"
"Catapults fire at will!" Sansa orders.
This time Tollet leads the Calvary charge into battle. As they charge both Sam and Gilly join Sansa on the battlements armed with bow and arrows. Soon the Night King appears and creates a snownado. The wind picks up and blows the arrows out of the air. Then he touches the ground freezing all the barrels of whale oil and sulfer buried in the ground.
"Shit!" Davos says looking at Sansa, "Defend the gate!"
The Night King grabs Tollet off his horse after freezing it and impales him with an ice shard. Then he takes Long Claw the sword of House Mormont. Many defenders fall only to rise again to fight for the Night King. Then a howl from a hill draws everyone's attention. Nymeria growls as hundreds on wolves emerge the forest and charge the White Walker army.
"I have never seen wolves do that before…" Tormund says.
Sansa smiles, "Its my brother…"
Even large herds of dear, wild bulls, and boars descend on the White Walker army. "We may just win this…First wave infantry…attack…" Davos commands. The men let out a cheer as they charge the Walkers in the open. Flocks of birds descend from the sky swarming the dead army, all under the command of Brandon Stark. The birds swarm a Walker and weigh it to the ground then fly off when a soldier comes with a torch. When Bran senses Jon and Daenarys he orders the animals into a retreat.
("Fall back…Jon and Daenarys are coming…") He says with his mind to the defenders.
As they retreat from the dead army the three Dragons dive on the Walkers spewing fire. As they pull back up into the air, Jon leaps off Viserion and Dany fires a steady stream of arrows. He is confronted by two Whites with blue eyes, the Night King's generals. Lightbringer bursts into flame and light. The light incinerates hundreds of walkers. Jon stabs one White Walker and then beheads the next, their bodies shatter into mist and water. The people on the walls and before the ruined gates cheer as Jon faces the Night King.
Jon strikes first in anger that this abomination would carry Long Claw. Jon is good, but the Night King has thousands of years of Experience. If it was not for the power of Lightbringer Jon would have been dead long ago and this fight over. The Night King rolls backwards placing his hand on the ground. Jon slips as he rushes forward, then the Night King knocks the sword from his hand. Before he can finish Jon Viserion snatches the Night King off his feet and shakes him, then he throws the King to the side. Jon leaps up grabbing Lightbringer and charges the Night King who is slow to get up.
With one swing Jon decapitates the Night King, but his body still moves. Jon sneers and cuts him in half at the waist. The body parts try to put themselves back together. ("Jon you can't kill him…All you can do is wound him badly…") Jon sneers and stabs him in the chest. The body parts stop moving but the head speaks.
("This isn't over boy…When I regain my strength I will return…") Jon walks up to the head and stabs it. All around the living dead fall to the ground and remain still. The people cheer as Jon stands there with Lightbringer in the Night King's head.
