Jon opened the door and saw Sam sitting on his bed nervously. Jon noticed the uneasiness in Sams behavior. Jon closed the door behind him and scraped his throat before interrupting the silence in the room.
''Sam, what's wrong?'' Jon asked with a worried look on his face. He saw Sam clenching his fists before looking up to Jon.
Sam took a deep breath before answering Jon ''I have to tell you something, Jon.'' Sam looked confused at Jon. He didn't know how to start this conversation.
''Well, okay. Just tell me'' Jon said trying to ease the tension in the room. Jon knew Sam and him had been having their differences ever since Jon came home to Winterfell with Daenerys as his queen. Jon knew Sam never agreed with her ways.
''It's about Bran..'' Sam mumbled trying to find the right words. ''He..he'' Sam tried to hold back his tears. But it was no use. Sam burst out in tears right in front of Jon.
Jon looked confused at Sam. ''I know Bran is the real enemy. I know he brainwashed me and a lot of other people. I'm not surprised if that's what you wanted to tell me'' Jon said with an ice cold tone in his voice.
''He knows about the sword and he's going to destroy it'' Sam admitted. Sam finally calmed down while telling this to Jon.
''How..?'' Jon didn't understand. Daenerys and him didn't even know the exact location of the sword so he didn't know how Bran would know the location.
''I helped him..'' Sam admitted. Sam stood up and walked towards the bag he had brought with him from Kings Landing. He looked in the bag until he had found the right paper. Sam walked towards Jon and handed him the paper. ''This is the location. I hope you guys will get there earlier..'' Sam said worried.
Jon looked down at the paper and was in shock when he realized where the sword was. ''In Winterfell?'' Jon asked in disbelieve. He couldn't believe the Sword of Azor Ahai had been in front of him this entire time. Jon looked up at Sam with a smile before pulling his friend in for a hug ''thank you'' he said.
Sam welcomed the hug and hugged his friend right back. ''I hope this will make up for all the mistakes I made. I am so sorry for what I've done, Jon. I hope you can forgive me for ruining our friendship'' Sam admitted.
Jon pulled away from the hug and chuckled at his friend before answering ''there's nothing to forgive, Sam. You're my best friend, no matter what. What happened back then is all in the past. It doesn't matter anymore. What matters now is that Bran will be stopped'' Jon said before making his way to the door of Sams room.
''Be careful, my friend'' Sam said before waving Jon goodbye.
Jon turned around one more time to face his friend. ''Thanks. I'll talk to you later'' Jon said before disappearing out of the room until the dark hallway.
…
Jon made his way towards Daenerys her chamber before knocking on the door. ''Come in'' Jon heard coming from inside the room a few seconds later.
Jon opened the door and greeted the image of Daenerys getting dressed in her night gown. ''You look beautiful'' Jon blurred out.
Daenerys chuckled before turning around before pulling Jon in for a kiss. Jon welcomed the kiss and kissed Daenerys back. Daenerys was about to get into the kiss but Jon pulled away. Jon grabbed the paper and handed it over to Daenerys.
Daenerys looked confused at a drawn map that was on the paper. ''What's this?'' she asked.
''Our map to the sword'' Jon said with a serious tone in his voice. He knew finding the sword meant. It would mean they could defeat Bran, but it would also mean that one of them will probably die.
Daenerys stared at Jon ''How did you get this?'' she asked. She had no idea how Jon found the location.
''Sam gave it to me. He figured it out'' Jon said. ''But..'' he mumbled.
''But, what?'' Daenerys asked confused. She didn't know what was wrong, but she did notice the serious look on Jons face.
''It's in Winterfell..'' Jon blurred out.
Jon saw Daenerys' face turn white right away. Jon knew Winterfell had been the place where their relationship went downhill the last time. It was when Jon found out about his true parentage that had changed everything between them in the past. Jon only hoped the same wouldn't happen this time. He was worried it would because he knew there were still a lot of unresolved issues between him and Daenerys.
Daenerys took a deep breath before trying to regain her focus. ''Well, I guess we'll have to pay your lovely family a visit then'' Daenerys said sarcastically.
Jon just nodded at Daenerys ''I guess so.''
…
3 weeks later, at Winterfell.
Sansa had heard rumors about the former dragon queen making her way towards Winterfell. She had thought those rumors to be lies until she was faced with an enormous shadow falling over Winterfell. Sansa knew right away what this meant. She was about to be faced with her former enemy, yet again. Sansa rallied her guards and ordered them to defeat Winterfell at all cost. She wasn't about to give up that easily.
Drogon landed right in front of the gates of Winterfell. Daenerys calmed him down before getting of her dragon. Jon followed her. Daenerys ordered Drogon to go right away. She didn't want to put her last dragon in harms way. Jon had brought Rhaegar along. He was standing next to Jon. Rhaegar had grown a lot those past 9 months. He had grown into the size of a normal grown horse.
Daenerys looked up to meet Sansa staring right at her. Daenerys saw the fury in Sansa her eyes but decided to ignore it. Jon walked towards Daenerys and stopped next to her. He also looked up to meet Sansa staring at him with a fury he had never seen before.
''So the rumors are true'' Sansa said with disgust. ''You survived'' she added, with even more disgust in her voice than before.
Daenerys took a deep breath before answering ''Yes.''
''Did you come here to get killed again?'' Sansa said with a grin on her voice. ''I can just ask Jon to kill you again'' she added. Sansa smirked at Daenerys. Sansa noticed the uneasiness in Daenerys her facial expression and she knew she had hit a nerve.
Daenerys was about to respond when she was stopped by Jon who scraped his throat before talking. ''Sansa..'' he mumbled.
''Can we talk in private?'' he added before looking up at his sister. He practically begged her for a private conversation.
''Al right'' Sansa said. She motioned for her guards to let down their weapons. ''Let them in!'' she ordered her guards.
Two of Sansa her guards motioned for Daenerys and Jon to walk inside the gates of Winterfell. Jon took in the familiar surroundings but somehow it didn't feel like home anymore. It was just a place he used to live. All of the memories didn't mean a thing to him anymore.
Jon his thoughts were interrupted by Sansa who stopped a few feet away from Jon and Daenerys. She studied her brother before she motioned for them to follow her. Sansa guided Jon and Daenerys towards the Weirwood Tree inside the Godwoods.
Sansa stopped right before the tree where she used to find her father all the time before she turned around. ''We can talk freely here'' she said, somehow sounding relieved.
Jon looked confused at his sister. He didn't understand her behavior at all but he decided not to mention it.
''So, what do you want to talk about?'' Sansa asked. She sounded indifferent and distant. Not the Sansa Jon used to know, or at least thought he knew.
Daenerys gave Jon a glance. Jon nodded at Daenerys before he started talking ''It's about Bran..'' Jon mumbled. He didn't even know how to explain what Bran had done.
''What about him?'' Sansa asked. Sansa had no idea why Jon would bring up Bran out of all topics.
''Bran is not who we think he is. Bran is the Three Eyed Raven. He manipulated everyone'' Jon blurred out. Jon knew he didn't make any sense. But how could he even explain this to Brans sister.
Sansa looked with disbelief at Jon. ''I don't believe you'' Sansa spat out in anger. She clenched her fist in anger. ''YOU'RE LYING!'' Sansa yelled.
Jon took a few steps back from his sister. He had never seen her this angry before. Jon understood why, because he didn't believe Daenerys at first either. Even after he saw Bran manipulating his own dragon he still doubted it.
Sansa looked at Jon begging for him to answer her. She hoped Jon had been lying to her. But she saw the sincerity in his expression. Sansa always knew Jon was a terrible liar. Sansa dropped down on her knees and screamed it out. She couldn't cope with the fact her own brother would be the true evil behind everything.
Daenerys interrupted the scene. She sat down on the ground next to Sansa. Daenerys ripped open her cloak, revealing her scar that was visible above the dress she was wearing. ''Sansa. Your brother did this'' Daenerys showed Sansa the wound. Still not healed completely.
Sansa looked confused at Daenerys ''Bran didn't do that?'' she asked confused.
That was when Jon interrupted ''He did, indirectly. He manipulated Tyrion his mind, who manipulated me into thinking Daenerys would destroy half of Westeros. That was when I stabbed Daenerys in the chest back in Kings Landing'' Jon explained to his sister.
Sansa noticed that Jon was trembling like a leaf. She noticed the pain and the hidden guilt in his eyes. In that moment she knew he was speaking the truth. She just couldn't wrap her mind around it.
…
Two days later, at Winterfell.
Sansa finally accepted the truth about her own brother. She had invited Daenerys and Jon to stay in Winterfell as long as they would have to. Jon was relieved when he knew his sister believed him. Jon knew Sansa still didn't trust Daenerys but he was already with the fact that the two of them could be in the same room without ripping each other to shreds.
Jon walked into the crypts to visit his mothers grave when he finally noticed a familiar symbol he had seen in the book about Azor Ahai. Jon took a few steps towards the statue of his mother. He put his hand on the symbol when he somehow triggered a trap, that opened up, revealing a dagger.
Jon was shocked to see the dagger in front of him. He didn't even hesitate for a second and grabbed the dagger from the box. Jon put his hand around the handle and tried to balance the dagger in his hand. The perfect balanced blade fitted him perfectly.
Jon hadn't heard Daenerys walking into the crypts as well. She had noticed Jon holding a dagger in his hands and she knew what this meant right away. ''You found the dagger'' she said sounding relieved and said at the same time.
Jon turned around and looked at Daenerys. He noticed the calmness that washed over her. ''There must be another way, Dany'' he said, sounding desperate. He didn't want to kill her again. He didn't think he could handle losing her again.
Daenerys shook her head. She looked at Jon while tears were forming in the corner of her eyes. She walked towards Jon until she stopped a few inches away from him. She put her hand on his cheek. Jon tried to hold back his tears, but the second Daenerys touched his cheek he burst out in tears as well.
''We will save this country from those who seek to destroy it, Jon. You will be the last Targaryen'' Daenerys mumbled out between her tears. Her whole body was shaking. Jon shook his head. ''No, no, no. It can't end like this!'' Jon screamed out.
Daenerys closed her eyes before pulling Jon in for one last kiss. She felt his lips on hers one last time before she felt a piercing pain all throughout her body. Daenerys pulled away from the kiss and stared at Jon one more time before everything went black.
Jon held Daenerys in his arms. Jon looked down at his hands that were covered in blood ''What have I done?!'' he screamed out. The echo of his screams reflected throughout the hallway of the crypts.
