Jon and Daenerys met up in the war room about two hours later. Jon settled in in a room Daenerys had offered him to stay in. She needed him around for the plan to work and if she was being honest she didn't mind his company. She didn't feel the resentment against him as much as she had just after her resurrection. After the reveal that Bran had manipulated everything she began to understand that he was manipulated as well. She didn't really want to blame Jon for it anymore.
Daenerys her thoughts were interrupted by one of the Dothraki leaders who walked into the room. He looked concerned at Daenerys. She noticed this right away and knew it couldn't be good news he was about to tell her.
''Khaleesi, I'm afraid I've got some bad news..'' he mumbled, trying to find the right news to break the information to Daenerys.
''It's alright. Just tell me'' Daenerys said, reassuring him.
The man nodded at Daenerys ''There's a fleet spotted sailing towards Dragonstone. I'm afraid they're going to attack. What do you want us to do?'' the man asked worried.
Daenerys took a deep breath. Luckily for her she figured that they would sent an army to Dragonstone to try and destroy her and her army forever. ''Help the innocents escape as fast as possible. I don't want too many casualties. Get our defenses up and prepare for an invasion if it will come that far. I'll seek the help from Jon'' Daenerys said.
The man nodded before leaving her behind. Daenerys walked out of the room as well and made her way towards Jons room.
She stopped in front of his door and took a deep breath. Daenerys didn't know if she should knock or not. But to her surprise she saw the door open in front of her.
Jon stood in the doorway smiling at Daenerys. ''I thought I heard footsteps'' he said with a smile on his face before gesturing for Daenerys to come inside.
Daenerys chuckled before following Jon into his room. 'Yeah. Sorry, I didn't know if I should have knocked or not'' Daenerys admitted.
Jon turned around to face Daenerys ''You would never bother me'' he said with a sincere tone in his voice. Daenerys knew he meant what he was saying.
''So, where can I help you with?'' he asked.
''There's an army sailing to Dragonstone as we speak. I need your help to take them down once and for all without creating too many casualties'' Daenerys said.
Jon looked surprised at the fact that Daenerys worried about the people as well. That shocked him in some kind of way. But it was in a good way, he knew that.
''I'll help you however I can. But I do want to ask you something. If I may?''
Daenerys nodded at Jon. ''Of course, ask away'' she said with a smile.
''Why didn't you let me kill Bran in Kings Landing?'' Jon asked out of the blue. He didn't understand why Daenerys had stopped him. He had really wanted to punch the life out of Bran.
Daenerys took a deep breath before answering. She felt uneasy for a second but did know she had to answer truthfully ''Because I know what it's like to get killed without getting a chance to explain myself. I never had a fair trial. I also knew that the guilt of killing your younger brother would destroy you, so I didn't want you to go through that again'' Daenerys admitted.
Jon was surprised by Daenerys her answer but was grateful at the same time because he knew she was right. The guilt would've eaten him alive. It would've destroyed him like it did when he had killed Daenerys back in Kings Landing.
Jon and Daenerys were interrupted by Greyworm who ran into the room ''My queen! They are here!'' He said in a panic.
Jon and Daenerys turned around to face him. Daenerys was about to walk out of the room following Greyworm but was stopped by Jon who grabbed her hand. Daenerys turned around to face Jon. But before she could say a thing Jon pulled her closer and leaned in. He kissed Daenerys like it could be their last moment together. Daenerys greeted the kiss and kissed Jon back. The moment felt like an eternity for them.
Jon pulled away from the kiss looking Daenerys in the eye ''just in case there's no later'' he said before letting her go. Daenerys took a deep breath and looked back at Jon. Her look said everything he needed to know. Jon noticed the emotion in her eyes. It was hope, and somehow her look gave him hope as well. Hope for a future for the two of them together.
Daenerys ran out of the room before saying another word. Jon followed her along with Rhaegar. Daenerys was headed for Drogon to burn down as much ships as possible before they could reach the shores of Dragonstone. This had to be done this way because that was there only advantage.
…
Daenerys reached Drogon about ten minutes later. She climbed on his back before he flew away. Jon saw a glimpse of Drogon disappearing into the clouds just before he got out of the keep. He knew what Daenerys was planning. Jon grabbed his sword from his side and made his way towards the shore.
He noticed the unsullied and Dothraki there as well. They were lined up for the attack, waiting for Greyworm to give them orders. Jon was about to walk towards Greyworm. Greyworm greeted him with a suspicious look but didn't say a word to him.
In the mean time Daenerys had flown towards the ships and charged right at them. Drogon growled loudly and the men on the ships were definitely taken by surprise to see the full grown dragon charge at them with full speed. Most of them were so terrified that they jumped overboard.
Daenerys steered Drogon to the biggest ship of the fleet before ordering Drogon to light it up ''DRACARYS!'' Daenerys growled. Drogon obeyed and lit up the ship right away without hitting any person. Everyone jumped overboard and before they knew it most of the ships were destroyed.
The people that jumped overboard swam to the shore only to get captured by the unsullied and the Dothraki who were waiting them out. Jon was surprised to see Daenerys her tactics, they worked and somehow he knew she had planned this out.
One men in particular stood out for Jon. He noticed the familiar face right away. It was one of the North Men Jon had fought along side with against Ramsey Bolton to take back Winterfell.
The men was about to be taken prisoner by Greyworm but Jon stopped him ''Stop'' Jon growled out in anger. He didn't want Greyworm to take him prisoner. ''He's my friend'' Jon added before turning his attention to the North Men.
''Why are you fighting us?'' Jon asked surprised. He looked at the men who's face was covered with fear at the sight of Jon.
The men didn't answer Jon but just looked away. This irritated Jon but he remained calm ''Did my sister send you here?'' Jon asked, realizing Sansa had been siding with Bran.
The men just nodded at Jon. He still didn't answer him because he knew he would get in trouble if he did.
Jon suddenly realized that everyone had turned on them and it could only be because of one person. ''Bran'' Jon growled out in anger. Jon grabbed the North Men by his shirt and threw him on the ground. ''You fucking asshole!'' Jon spat out in anger before hitting the man over and over until he lost consciousness. Jon had realized that Bran had warged into this mens head.
Jon was about to hit the man again when he felt a hand on his shoulder. ''WHAT?!'' Jon growled out in anger before turning around. He looked up to meet Daenerys who was standing behind him with a worried look on her face. ''Jon, calm down. Take a deep breath'' she said with a calmness in her voice that scared him.
''Dany..?'' Jon asked surprised, not understanding why she was this calm.
''Jon, I'm right here'' Daenerys said, reassuring him.
She had just flown back because the entire fleet had been destroyed. Daenerys had noticed that the soldiers of the fleet and had been making their way to the shore so she decided to go there as well. That until she saw Jon totally losing it. She knew she had to stop him.
Jon pulled back his hand from the mans face and looked down at his fast that was covered with blood. Tears started to form in his eyes and he tried to hide his tears. The anger had overwhelmed him and it scared him to death. He had never felt this rage before and he didn't want it to take him over.
Daenerys noticed Jon breaking down in front of her. She kneeled down in front of Jon before reaching for his hand. She wrapped her hand around his and placed her other hand on his cheek to wipe away his tears.
Jon tried to find the right words but couldn't. The fact that Bran had used him as a pone in his game hurt Jon so much that he didn't know how to handle that. Jon felt like Bran was tormenting him with his mind tricks.
''I'm so afraid..'' Jon admitted. He felt so fragile for the first time in a long time. He had no idea what he was doing and it scared him.
Daenerys looked up and saw the vulnerability in Jons eyes ''I think we all are, Jon'' Daenerys said to him, reassuring him that he wasn't alone.
''I'm scared as well. Every second of the day. But what happened today was part of the plan, Jon. We had to go to Kings Landing to confront him and to lure him out. I needed him to send his army here, because I knew we would have an advantage. I could burn down the entire fleet, without hurting anyone. Yet, make him a lot weaker'' Daenerys said while revealing a part of her plan to Jon who was obviously taken by surprise.
Jon somehow tried to calm himself down ''But what about Bran?'' he asked suddenly. Knowing that Bran could warge into most people without them even knowing.
''We need to play his game'' Daenerys said. ''It's a game, one wins and one dies'' she added.
Jon looked concerned at Daeneys, he studied the look in her eyes and suddenly realized what she had told him earlier, something about sacrificing a life for the greater good.
Jon wanted to ask Daenerys whether he was right or not but didn't because he just wanted to be wrong. Thinking about losing Daenerys again made him feel sick.
