About 5 months ago in Kings Landing.
Daenerys arrived at Kings Landing about two weeks after leaving Dragonstone behind. She had decided not to travel on Drogon because she didn't want to attract any unwanted attention. The time Bronn of the Blackwater had been talking to her in that inn was close enough for her.
Daenerys walked through the streets of the city when she noticed a little girl begging for food. The girl had a sadness over her that attracted Daenerys' attention. Daenerys walked up to the girl and kneeled down in front of her.
''Hello, little one'' Daenerys said softly, trying to gain the girls trust.
The girl looked up and gave Daenerys a hint of a smile ''hi..'' she said shyly.
The girl was about 7 years old and Daenerys felt terrible about how her condition was. She was so skinny that most of her bones were visible. Daenerys turned to her bag and searched for some coins and food.
She grabbed a package of dried meat and grabbed 5 pieces of gold from her coin purse before giving it to the girl. ''Here, it's for you'' Daenerys said with a smile.
The girl looked up in shock before accepting the food and money from Daenerys ''Thank you, ma'am. I don't know what to say..'' she mumbled, trying to hold back her tears from happiness.
''You don't have to say thank you'' Daenerys said to the girl. Reassuring her that she owed her nothing.
''Thanks to you I can get my brother his medicine'' the girl said with a smile.
''What about your parents?'' Daenerys asked surprised. Not knowing what happened to the girl her parents.
''My mommy and daddy died..'' the girl said while one tear started to form in the corner of her eye.
''I'm so sorry, little one'' Daenerys said, trying to comfort the girl.
''It's not your fault, lady. The fallen queen burned my parents alive..'' the girl mumbled.
The reality of what Daenerys just heard hit her like a brick. She felt sick about what the girl just told her and wanted to run away as fast as she could. Knowing she was the cause of this girls misery was a lot to take in.
The girl saw the change in Daenerys her face but didn't know what happened. So the girl just walked up to Daenerys and gave her a hug ''Thank you, kind lady'' the girl said to Daenerys before walking away from her, disappearing around the corner.
Daenerys was frozen in her place the whole time and took deep breaths, while trying to calm herself down. Tears from guilt started to form in her eyes and she couldn't hold herself together. Her body started shaking, her breath was unsteady and she let everything out. The fact that the girl hugged her was too much for. She felt sick by the idea that she had made this girl an orphan while she herself knew all too well how it was to be an orphan. Ever since Daenerys was little she had been on the run because of the fact that she was the daughter of the Mad King, and somehow she had the feeling that she did the same things her father had done. Which made her feel disgusted about herself.
Daenerys managed to pull herself together about ten minutes later. She knew she couldn't stay on the streets crying about everything that happened in the past. That was not why she was here. Seeing this girl made her realize even more that she wanted to break the wheel no matter what. She knew that was her purpose, to right her wrongs and finally find some peace.
Daenerys managed to find her way to the inn when evening hit. She wore her cloak just like the last time to not attract any attention to herself. She walked towards the bar and ordered a drink before sitting down.
She gulped away the beer as fast as she could, trying to numb her feelings. Even if it was just for a second. It was better than nothing.
Daenerys was about to order another beer when she noticed a familiar voice coming from the entrance of the inn. She turned around and saw Tyrion and Bronn walking towards the table where they were the last time.
''I'm telling you Tyrion, something is up at Dragon Stone! The unsullied were spotted sailing back to Dragonstone'' he said to Tyrion sharing his concerns.
''Maybe they want to live there. It's not like anyone lives on Dragonstone anymore. Nobody wanted that place after what happened in this city. They believe its cursed'' Tyrion said while laughing.
''It's not funny'' Bronn said with an annoyed voice. But he knew it was useless. Tyrion had gone back to drinking daily and it was hard to talk to him at all. Let alone share useful information with him.
''It is. The queen is dead, Bronn. Stop looking for clues. You look like a crazy person'' Tyrion admitted.
Bronn shook his head at Tyrion ''No. I don't buy it. Did Bran find any trace of the dragon?''
Tyrion shook his head ''No. Bran wasn't able to track down Drogon. He never found out. I guess the dragon is gone forever. The new concern is the other dragon that was found by Jon Snow. You know how dangerous a dragon can be in the hands of a Targaryen'' Tyrion said worried.
''Yes. I do. I've seen it myself'' Bronn said.
Daenerys decided not to listen in on the conversation anymore so she ordered another drink. Her plan was to confront Tyrion tonight about his betrayal. But after hearing this she didn't know it that was such a good idea after all.
After she had finished her drink she left the inn and headed towards the inner part of the city. She wanted to try to get into the keep to get more in tell on the new king. She knew she had to be careful but she wanted to try it no matter what.
Daenerys arrived at the gates of the red keep about 30 minutes later when she noticed servants loading carriages. Daenerys made her way to the servants and noticed a young girl who caught her attention.
Daenerys approached the girl ''Hello. Can I ask you something in private?'' Daenerys said.
The girl nodded and gestured for Daenerys to follow her to the back. ''What is it?'' she asked.
''I need your clothes, and your job'' Daenerys said. She wanted to get in the keep no matter what.
''I can't give you that!'' the girl said angry.
Daenerys sighed for a second before grabbing 10 gold pieces from her bag. She handed them over to the girl before she said another word ''How about now?'' she asked.
The girl grinned at Daenerys ''Now we're talking. You can have it.''
Daenerys received the clothes from the girl and dressed into them before returning to the carriages. She started to help the servants to load everything on the carriages. After they were done she followed them into the gates of the red keep towards the staff entrance.
It was about two hours later when Daenerys and the other servants were done. Most of them had left the Red Keep behind as soon as they were done. But Daenerys snuck away and she was headed upstairs, trying to find out where the king was staying.
Daenerys was about to take the stairs when she heard footsteps approaching fast. So the only thing she could do was enter a door that was on her right. Daenerys opened the door and ran into the room. To her surprise she walked into the library. She saw shelves filled with beautifully covered books.
Her thoughts were interrupted by footsteps that stopped in front of the door. Daenerys duck down behind a bookshelf in the hope she hadn't been found.
But her hope was gone fast when she heard the door open. ''Who's there?'' a voice asked. She couldn't see who it was because most of the room was dark. She did see footsteps walking towards the table to lit up a candle.
''I know someone's here'' the man said. Trying to lure out Daenerys.
Daenerys didn't want to give in but she knew she would get caught either way. So with her cloak covering most of her face she stood up and walked into the candle light just enough so the man could see a glimpse of her.
The man turned around and sighed in relief when he saw Daenerys. ''I thought you were one of those kids again. They keep messing up the books!'' the man said, with a slightly annoyed tone in his voice.
''So who are you?'' the man asked surprised. Realizing that no one was allowed to enter the library at night.
Daenerys knew the voice of the man sounded familiar, so she took one more step towards the candle light when she finally knew who the man was.
''Ser Davos?'' Daenerys asked surprised.
Davos looked confused at the girl. Not knowing how she knew his name. ''That's me'' he said.
Daenerys knew she would be in trouble either way so she decided to reveal herself. She took of the cloak covering her face. Showing Davos who she really was.
Davos was in shock to see the dragon queen standing in front of him. But he got himself together pretty quickly and exactly showed a smile on his face after. ''You Targaryens are hard to kill'' he said with a grin on his face.
''It seems so'' Daenerys admitted. Knowing both she and Jon got resurrected by the lord of light.
''Why are you not surprised?'' Daenerys asked curiously.
''Well, I was there when Jon got resurrected to I'm not really impressed by seeing the death come back to live. It's actually a good thing you're here'' Davos admitted. He had seen at first hand how strange things were happening ever since Bran became king of the six kingdoms.
''Why's that?'' Daenerys asked, trying to understand what Davos was talking about.
''I can't explain it. But Jons younger brother has been doing something shady. I can feel it.''
''What do you think he's doing?'' Daenerys asked worried. Trying to find out what Davos knew.
''I think he's mind controlling people. I think he did the same to me. After your death, the lords and ladies of the important houses were gathered around to vote for a new king. Tyrion started to talk about Bran, being a good candidate out of nowhere. And after that somehow everyone voted for him, without questioning the boy for a second. I didn't want to say yes, but then my mind went black and after that the only thing I remember is him getting all the votes, including mine. So that didn't add up. Ever since I've been following the king closely. Hoping to find answers'' Davos admitted.
Daenerys knew in this second what her purpose was to fulfill. She somehow realized that Bran was the looming threat that the priestess had warned her about. If it was true Ser Davos said, no one would be safe because of the fact Bran could manipulate whoever he wanted.
''Why are you telling me this?'' Daenerys asked surprised.
Davos took a deep breath ''Because of Jon. He got banished to live beyond the wall. But I didn't agree with that. I want to see him on the throne. He's the noblest man of everyone around here and I think he would make a fine leader one day. But I do know he will never accept that. If it's true that Bran is manipulating everything, that means he's the real danger and probably means he manipulated people to get you killed as well. Which means you're at least a better person.''
''Thank you for your trust'' Daenerys said with a smile on her face. She was grateful to Davos for telling the truth to her. Daenerys now knew she had to take down the king as soon as possible. But she also knew she needed allies for that as well and she knew exactly where to find the best ally despite their differences in the past. She knew she had to find Jon.
…
Daenerys and Jon in Kings Landing, present time.
Daenerys had contacted Davos before hand so he could smuggle them straight intothe red keep. Jon hadn't seen Davos for a long time and was happy to see his friend, and most trusted advisor. They decided to take Rhaegar with them because Jon didn't want anything to happen with his dragon.
He had managed to snuck them in via the beach. It had been quit an adventure but they made it about two hours later.
''Thank you for helping us'' Jon said to Davos with a smile. He was glad that Davos helped him. It felt like he was the only person from his past that he could fully trust.
''Where's Bran, now?'' Daenerys asked because she wanted to confront him as fast as possible.
''At the council meeting in the library'' Davos said.
''Thanks for helping me those past few months. Your intel has been super useful.''
Davos nodded and said goodbye to the two of them before everyone went their separate ways.
Jon and Daenerys made their way into the library to confront Bran about what Davos had told them. But to there surprise they were stopped by no one other than Tyrion who saw them walking up the stairs that led to the same room Daenerys had been hiding in from Davos the night she snuck into the Red Keep.
''hold up you two!'' Tyrion said, feeling suspicious about two people lurking around.
Daenerys hold her breath. She hadn't spoken to Tyrion since he resigned as her hand before she was killed. Hearing him approach was nerve wrecking for her. She was about to lose it but suddenly she felt Jons hand reaching for hers. Daenerys opened up her hand and held Jon his hand tightly.
Jon turned around slowly to face Tyrion. Daenerys followed his move and turned around as well. The two of them weren't recognizable because of the fact that they were wearing capes, covering their head for most of it.
Tyrion looked up and when he realized who was standing in front of him he took a few steps back ''It can't be..'' he mumbled in shock.
Daenerys took of her cloak and threw it on the ground before taking a few steps towards Tyrion. She looked him in the eye and saw the realization Tyrion was having in this very moment.
''How?'' he asked in disbelief. ''Jon killed you!'' Tyrion added. Tyrion had never believed the things Bronn had been telling him. Because he never wanted to see the truth all along, and that was the fact that he had a high chance of getting killed if Daenerys was ever to return.
''Yes. He did'' Daenerys said with an icy tone in her voice. ''Yet, here I am'' she added.
Jon decided to take of his cloak as well and looked at Tyrion standing in front of him. ''You were the one who told me to kill her'' he growled out at Tyrion.
Tyrion knew that denying that wouldn't be smart so he nodded at Jon ''You're right. I told you to kill her because you had a choose. The innocent people of Kings Landing didn't!'' Tyrion said while looking disgusted at Daenerys.
Daenerys felt the rage rising in her body. She was just seconds away from killing Tyrion right where he was standing. But she knew it would be no use because he wasn't their priority. So instead of letting the rage consume her, she calmed down. She walked towards Tyrion and pushed him out of the way ''Stay down'' she growled before walking past him. Jon followed her but turned around to gave Tyrion a quick glance.
Daenerys kicked open the door of the library and walked into the room without any hesitation. She walked in the middle of the room and saw Bran sitting in his chair. Turned around, looking out of the window.
''You!'' Daenerys growled out in anger. She rushed towards Bran and turn him around but to her shock she saw that his eyes were all white.
Daenerys was about to say something when she heard Jon screaming from behind her.
Daenerys turned around and faced Jon. To her horror she saw Rhaegar, growling at Jon. Rhaegar opened his mouth and was about to kill Jon with dragon fire when Daenerys was just in time and pushed Jon out of the way.
''Jon!'' she screamed out.
Jon fell on the ground and saw Daenerys getting burned by his own dragon. Jon tried to get Rhaegar to stop but it didn't work. He got up and suddenly realized what was happening. He knew it was Bran.
Jon stood up and rushed towards Bran. He noticed Brans white eyes. He didn't hesitate for a second and hit Bran right in his face.
Somehow this worked and Brans eyes turned back into his usual brown color. Rhaegar stopped spiting fire at Daenerys and calmed down right away.
Jon looked with disbelief and disgust at his younger brother ''It was you all along. Wasn't it?'' Jon spat out in anger. He wanted answers from his brother but was taken by surprise by Brans response.
''I told you, Jon. You were right where you were supposed to be'' Bran said with a grin on his face.
