Tyrion said, "We are all facing a unique…"

Euron said, arrogantly interrupting, "Tell Theon! I have his sister! If he don't submit to me… I'll kill her!" Tyrion and Jamie exchange confused glances.

Tyrion said, "I think we ought to begin with larger concerns."

Euron said, "Then why are you talking? You're the smallest concern here." Euron walks towards Tyrion trying to be intimidating.

Euron said nastily, "We don't even let your kind live in the Iron Islands, you know? We kill you at birth. An act of mercy for the parents."

Jamie said, "Perhaps you ought to sit down."

Euron said, "Why?"

Aldarra stood up and shouted, "Sit down and shut up or leave!" Euron laughs, making kissing noises at her and returns to his seat. Aldarra sits back down as Tywin pats her hand smirking.

Tyrion said, "We are a group of people who do not like one another, as this recent demonstration has shown. We have suffered at each other's hands. We have lost people we love at each other's hands. If all we wanted was more of the same, there would be no need for this gathering. We are entirely capable of waging war against each other without meeting face-to-face."

Tywin said, "So we should settle our differences for the rest of our days?"

Tyrion said, "We all know that will never happen."

Tywin asked, "Then why are we here?" Jon rises and walks forward to make his case.

Jon said, "This isn't about living in harmony. It's just about living. The same thing is coming for all of us in Westeros. A general you can't negotiate with. An army that doesn't leave corpses behind on the battlefield. Lord Tyrion tells me a million people live in this city. They're about to become a million more soldiers in the Army of the Dead."

Euron said, "For some it would be an improvement."

Jon said, "This is serious. I wouldn't be here if it weren't."

Tywin said, "If my son Jaime has informed me correctly, you're asking us for a truce."

Aldarra said, "Yes."

Tywin said, "That's all? Pull back my armies and stand down while you go on your monster hunt. Or while you solidify and expand your position. Hard for me to know which it is."

Aldarra said, "The capital will be safe until the northern threat is dealt with. You have my and Jon's word. We will need everyone's army to battle this or it will destroy the entire population of Westeros."

Tyrion said, "There is no conversation that will erase the last 50 years. We have something to show you."

Sandor returns, bearing the crate on his back. He puts it down, removes the chains and bars that lock it. He removes the lid, and stands back in caution, grasping the hilt of his sword. Nothing happens. He kicks over the crate to reveal the wight, who charges towards Tommen, screeching horribly. Sandor follows, while the wight reaches for the frozen scared Tommen. At the last minute, Sandor pulls the chain that binds him, yanking the wight off of its feet. Jamie and the Mountain stand to protect Tommen and Margaery. The wight turns its attention to Sandor. He draws his sword, and slices the wight in half as it attacks him. Both halves of the wight continue to move. The upper half crawls towards Sandor, who slices away a forearm. Qyburn picks up the moving undead arm to examine it. Jon takes it from him, and with Davos's help, lights a torch.

Jon said, "We can destroy them by burning them."

Jon sets the hand aflame, and it writhes. The wight screeches helplessly. Jon drops the arm.

Jon said, "And we can destroy them with dragonglass. If we don't win this fight, then that is the fate of every person in the world."

Jon stabs the wight in the heart with his dragonglass knife, and the wight falls lifeless after a final screech. Tywin stares in disbelief, squeezing Aldarra's hand as he watches. Jon approaches Tommen and Margaery.

Jon said, "There is only one war that matters: the Great War. And it is here." Tywin looks towards Jamie.

Aldarra stands up and joins Jon in front of the King and queen. She said, "I didn't believe it until I saw them and burned up a quarter of their army beyond the Wall. I saw them all."

Jamie was shaken and asked, "How many?"

Aldarra said, "Seventy five thousand now, at least." Euron rises to investigate the lifeless wight and kicks at it.

Euron asks, "Can they swim?"

Jon said, "No."

Euron said, "Good. I'm taking the Iron Fleet back to the Iron Islands."

Tywin said, "What are you talking about?"

Euron said, "I've been around the world. I've seen everything, things you couldn't imagine, and this… this is the only thing I've ever seen that terrifies me." Euron walks over to Aldarra.

Euron said to Aldarra, "I'm going back to my island, beautiful. You should go back with me. When winter's over, we'll be the only ones left alive."

Aldarra said, "Never." Euron shrugged and walks away to go to his ships.

Tywin said, "He's right to be afraid. And a coward to run. If those things come for us, there will be no kingdoms to rule. Everything we endured or done will have been for nothing. Everything we lost will have been for nothing. The crown accepts your truce. Until the dead are defeated, they are the true enemy. Do you concur, your Grace?"

Tommen was scared and said, "Yes, Lord Hand, I concur." Jon sighs and squeezes Aldarra's hand smiling at her.

Tywin said, "How can we guarantee you will keep to your word."

Jon said, "Aldarra and I both are true to our word. Or we try to be." Aldarra nodded.

Aldarra looked at Oberyn Martell and Olenna Tyrell, "Everyone and I mean everyone of you need to send as many men to the North at Winterfell we fall back to Harrental. We need grain and supplies to help us support the armies."

Obyren said, "How do we know they will even make it to Dorne?"

Aldarra said leaning into his face, "If you don't contribute your fair share I swear, I will be back to burn your palace to the ground like a coward who allows his mistress to murder little girls. I'm not fucking around here Martell or you'll be the first place I go with my dragons if you do not lend your army to fight and I don't mean the minimum or we will catch these dead and drop some on your fucking head. I have three dragons. Do. You. Hear. Me?" He looked at her with big eyes and nodded. Everyone got up and headed back to the Red Keep. Brienne followed to get Jamie's attention.

Brienne said, "Ser Jaime."

Jamie said, "It's been good to see you. I imagine the next time will be across a battlefield."

Brienne said, "We both saw what just happened. We both saw that thing."

Jamie said, "Yes, and I'm not looking forward to seeing more of them. But I'm loyal to the king and you're loyal to Sansa and her dolt brother my good mother seems fond of." Brienne hits Jamie on the arm.

Brienne yelled, "Oh, fuck loyalty!"

Jamie was surprised and said, "Fuck loyalty?"

Brienne said, "This goes beyond houses and honor and oaths." Jamie frowned, nodded and walked away. Those that remain contemplate what has happened.

Davos said to Aldarra, "I wish you hadn't had to do that to the Prince of Dorne."

Aldarra said angrily, "I'm sick of these whiny spoiled royal people thinking they can out think you. It's a fucking waste of time and resources necessary to everyone's survival. Those Dorne people think they live in an untouchable bubble down there and in the past have done as minimal as they can to get by in contributions. It's shit and I'm serious I will burn their palace to the ground if they fuck off again."

Jon said, patting her back, "I know, you felt you had to Aldarra."

Tyrion said, "I'm pleased you did or I would have advised someone needed to do that to Dorne most of all."

Jon said, "I'm not going to swear an oath to anything I can't uphold. Talk about my father if you want, tell me that's the attitude that got him killed. But when enough people make false promises, words stop meaning anything. Then there are no more answers, only better and better lies, and lies won't help us in this fight."

Tyrion said, "That is indeed a problem. The more immediate problem is that we're fucked if they don't follow through with support from everyone in the south." Tywin approached.

Tywin said, "Our armies will stand down. I will march them north to fight alongside you in the Great War. The darkness is coming for us all. We'll face it together. And when the Great War is over, perhaps you'll remember I chose to help with no promises or assurances from any of you. Call our banners. All of them. Jamie rally the army. We will leave enough for defense if needed for the city. Now I must speak to my wife." Tywin pulls Aldarra to the side.

He says, "Your headed back?"

Aldarra said, "Yes, I'm flying back so I'll be there tonight. Protect our baby and yourself. I love you Tywin." He wrapped his arms around her as she buried her face in his neck. The others watched.

Tywin said softly in her ear for only her to hear, "Please be careful, Aldarra, I love you too much to raise our baby alone." She kissed him as he held her face wet with her tears. She caressed his face and lips turned and walked away as Drogon landed in the pit.

She and Jorah mounted the dragon and buckled in, waved to everyone, looked at Tywin and flew to Winterfell.

—--

At Winterfell, Baelish looks up at a raven flying in and he said, "It's not easy for ravens to fly in these storms. Perhaps Jon tried to send word earlier."

Sansa said, "No, this is the way he is, the way he's always been. He never asked for my opinion. Why would he start now?"

Baelish said, "I can't believe he would surrender the Northern crown to King's Landing without consulting you."

Sansa said reading the message, "This is his writing, his signature. The crown and Lannister's pledged to fight with us. I wonder if he bent the knee to get it?"

Baelish said, "Aldarra is quite beautiful. Perhaps he did it for her."

Sansa asked, getting upset, "What would that have to do with anything with King's Landing?"

Baelish said, "Jon is young and unmarried. Aldarra is young and unhappy married. She could sway him."

Sansa asked, "You think he wants to be with Aldarra and would change sides for her?"

Baelish said shrugging, "An alliance makes sense. Together, they'd be difficult to defeat. He was named King and she has the dragons and could become his Queen."

Sansa said, "Even if I wanted to change sides, Arya would never go along with something like that. She always loved Jon far more than she ever loved me, and she'd kill anyone who betrayed her family."

Baelish said, "You are family, too. Would Arya really murder her own sister? That is if you decided to go along with him bending the knee?"

Sansa said, "Do you know what she is now? Do you know what the Faceless Men are?"

Baelish said, "Only by reputation. They worship the God of Death, I believe. I never trust godly men."

Sansa said, "They're killers. And Arya was one of them. What do you think she's wants?"

Baelish said, "She's your sister. You know her far better than I ever could."

Sansa said, "She could want me dead because she thinks I wronged my family with that letter."

Baelish asked, "Why did she come to Winterfell?"

Sansa said, "Do you to kill me for betraying my family?"

Baelish said, "Why else did she unearth the letter Cersei made you write?"

Sansa said, "Do you think to provide proof of my betrayals? To provide justification after she murdered me?"

Baelish said, "And after she murders you, what does she become?"

Sansa said, "Lady of Winterfell." Sansa contemplates.
