AFTER 3 MONTHS THEY HAD FIANNLY ARRIVED at DragonStone. The sisters were home, they were finally back

 As Dany and helaena walked towards the castle on shores Dany knelt down and felt the ground.  The place she was meant to rule. Slowly they ascended the stairs as Helaena and Dany walked Hand in hand together 

They stopped at the gate. It was closed and looked even more terrifying with dragon sculptures purchased at the front As they made their way inside Helaena admired everything. This was place beautiful place 

As they entered the throne room, They saw a banner that was burnt for stannis baratheon, As helaena reached up and tore it down making them continue the walk behind the throne to another room

 A table long and wide along the middle mapped out the seven kingdoms Helaena traced her hand on the walls as Dany traced her hand over the table 

"Shall we begin?"

-

"On a night like this you were brought into the world" Tyrion said, to dany as The storm was raging outside lightning and thunder streaking the sky.

"I remember that day" Varys said "The dogs in Kingsladning howled throughout the night"

"I wish I could remember it I always thought this would be a homecoming but this doesn't feel like home" Dany told them to move away from the window

'We won't stay on Dragonstone for long' Tyrion told her. "Good," Helaena said as She looked at the board the game pieces three Lions stood in the red keep map

"That's not so many lions" Dany Noted

'They control Little less half of the seven kingdoms" Varys told the women

"But everyone despises her even before your arrival they plotted against her and now-" He was cut of by Helaena 

"And now they cry out for their new queen and princess?" Helaena asked as Dany moved closer to Varys "They drink a secret toast to our health? people used to tell our brother that sort of thing and he was stupid enough to believe them" Dany told them picking up the dragon piece on the board.

"If our brother had three dragons and an army at his back he would've invaded Kings Landing already" Dany told them as helaena was leaning on the table with Talia behind her 

"I know conquering would be easy for you," Tyrion told her "but you're not here to be queen and princess of the ashes" Tyrion reminded them

"We can take the seven kingdoms without turning into a slaughterhouse if the houses support your claim against Cersei we have won. we have power from the south thanks to the dornish and Tyrells " Tyrion said moving the dorne piece 

"I never properly thanked you for that," Dany said turning to Varys "They joined our side because they believe in you," Varys told her.

"You started supporting my father and then you supported the man who overthrew him" Dany said looking back over the map "You didn't serve any of them long"

"Robert was an improvement on your father' varys admitted.

"Before I arrived you favored my brother did your spies tell you about me? tell you that I'm stupid and weak?' Danny asked varys 

"were those qualities of a good king?"

"I didn't know of your existence and when I did I only heard of your beauty" Varys told her as dany stepped closer and closer, each step threatening.

'Did you give the order to kill me and my sister?" danny questioned now face to face with varys.

"King Robert" he answered, "Who hired the assassins?" Helaena asked from her spot "I did what had to be done" Varys told her confidently.

"You did what you did to protect yourself" Dany corrected.

"Lord varys has been-" Tyrion tried

'What kind of a servant can switch from one leader to another" Dany said with no emotion 

"A good one. Using his eyes to see the game and the players. My loyalty lies with the people. If you demand blind allegiance. Grey Worm can behead me or your dragons can eat me. But if you trust me I will guide you to the iron throne" He said 

"Swear this to me"  dany began Commanded "If you ever think I'm failing the people you won't conspire behind my back you will tell me to my face," She asked

"I swear it" varys declared. "And I swear this if you ever betray me or my sister I will burn you alive" Dany promised.

"I would expect nothing less of the mothers of dragons," Varys told her looking at helaena who was already looking at him

"I'm sorry to interrupt. The red priestess has come to see you, your grace" Ser Hallyne said behind him was Grey worm 

-

"Queen Daenerys, Princess Helaena, I was a slave once bought and sold scorched and branded is an honor to meet the breakers of chains," The red woman said

"The red priestess helped bring peace to Meereen you're very welcome here what are you doing here?" Dany questions questioned "Do you have a name?" Helaena asked 

"Im called melisandre princess" she says in high valryian

"I am here to serve" the red woman said

"She once served another on the iron throne" Varys warned "it didn't end well for Stannis Baratheon, did it?" Varys asked

"No it didn't," she said 

"You chose an auspicious day to arrive a dragon stone we've just decided to pardon those who have served the wrong king," Dany said looking to Varys "You serve the lord of light... the Lord of light doesn't have many followers from Westeros does he?"

"Not yet but even those who don't wish do you know him" The red woman assured.

"What does the lord of light want from us?" Dany questioned "The night is long, only the prince who is promised will bring the Dawn" She recited.

"I'm afraid we're not princes, Dany told her

'Your Grace I'm sorry but your translation is not quite accurate that noun has no gender in high valyrian so the translation would be the prince or princess would be promised at Dawn" Messandei told her.

"Doesn't really roll off the tongue" Tyrion teased "and you believe this prophecy refers to?" Dany pondered. "You," The red woman said to Dany and Helaena sighed in relief

"Prophecies are dangerous things, I believe you have a role to play as does another the King in the north Jon Snow" she tells them

"Jon snow? Ned Stark's bastard" Tyrion asked,  "you know him?" Helaena questioned him.

"Yes I traveled to the wall with him when he went to join the night's watch" Tyrion informed them. "Why do you think the Lord of Light signals out this Jon Snow? Aside from the visions she has seen in the flames?" varys questioned

"As Lord Commander, the nights watch he led the Wildlings south of the wall to protect them from the great danger as king of the north he has united those wildlings with the northern houses. Together we are faced with an uncommon enemy" The red woman told 

"He sounds like quite a man," Helaena said nudging dany slightly 

"Summon Jon Snow and I stand before you and tell you the things that of happened to him the things that he has seen with his own eyes" the red woman pleaded

"I can't speak to prophecies are visions in flames but I like Jon Snow and I trust him and I'm an excellent judge of character," Tyrion told them "If it goes well the north would make a valuable ally, and the former bastard on the throne did execute his father and conspired to have his brother killed. Jon Snow has more reason to hate Cersei than you do" Tyrion said to them

'Very well" Danny agreed nodding to Helaena who turned to Grey Worm "send a raven over to the north tell Jon Snow that his queen invites him to come to Dragonstone and bend the knee" Helaena said to him as he nods
