HELAENA AND DANY FLEW ON THE DRAGONS BACK TO DRAGONSTONE Drogon landed right in front of jon who was waiting for them by the cliffs, Syrax landed on the ground next to drogon as Caraxes stays in the sky with Rhaegal

Jon reaches out a hand and touches Drogon who cautiously allows him to stroke his snout, Dany looks back at her sister who looks at Drogon who burned people for letting to close to him.

Dany then steps of her dragon as helaena did with Syrax, as both dragons take off in the sky"They're beautiful, aren't they?" Dany asked as she watched them "That wasn't the word I was thinking of" Jon said as Dany and helaena looked at him in a glare

 "but, yes, they are. Gorgeous beasts." Jon said covering up 

"They're not beasts to us. No matter how big they get, how terrifying to everyone else, they're our children." Dany says speaking for both of them

Helaena wishes Meleys was alive to fly around with her brothers and sister, She would have loved it at highgarden, maybe not when it's burning with Lannister soldiers but it the spring like Talia described she knew her sweet baby would love it there.

"You weren't gone long." Jon began to break the silence as Dany turned to him "And?" He asked her

"And we have fewer enemies today than we did yesterday," Helaena said to them as she slowly began to walk way, they both decided to walk after her 

"You're not sure how you feel about that?" Dany asked as they walk

"No, I'm not"  "How many men did your army kill taking Winterfell back from the Boltons?" Dany asked "Thousands" Jon answered

"We both want to help people. We can only help them from a position of strength. Sometimes strength is terrible" Dany says as she stops Jon which makes Helaena stop to wait for them

"When you first came here Ser Davos said you took a knife in the heart for your people" Dany asked "Ser Davos gets carried away." Jon covered 

"So it was a figure of speech?" Helaena asked walking backwards so she could face them and talk to them when suddenly a group of Dothraki guards approached

"This man says he is your friend Khaleesi," The Dothraki man says in Dothraki as the guards step away revealing Ser Jorah looking as healthy as ever making Helaena smile brightly and run up to hug him

He engulfed the princess in a long hug and kissed her on the forehead which made Dany smile "He is my friend." Dany covered them

Jorah kneels before them as he relaes "Your Grace."

"Jon Snow, this is Ser Jorah Mormont, an old friend." Dany speaks for him "I served with your father. He was a great man." Jon replied 

Jorah nodded at jon as Helaena spoke "You look strong. You found a cure?" He nods "I wouldn't be here if I hadn't. I return to your service, my queen, Princess if you'll have me" he says

"It would be my honor" Dany says as Jorah embraces the dragon Queen

-

"I thought Arya was dead. I thought Bran was dead." Jon said as he read the scroll sent from Winterfell, They all sat around the dragon stone deciding on what to do next 

"I'm happy for you," Dany says "He doesn't look happy" Helaena pointed out  at to Dany 

"Bran saw the Night King and his army marching towards eastwatch. If they make it past the wall" Jon said but was cut of by varys

"The Wall has kept them out for thousands of years. Presumably" But varys was interpreted again 

"I need to go home." Jon said firmly 

"You said you don't have enough men." Dany said to him "We'll fight with the men we have. Unless you'll join us." Jon asked 

"And give the country to Cersei? As soon as we march away she marches in." Dany argues 

"Perhaps not. Cersei thinks the Army of the Dead is nothing but a story made up by wet nurses to frighten children. What if we prove her wrong?" Tyrion states from his spot

"I don't think she'll come to see the dead at my invitation." Jon said with sarcasm 

"So bring the dead to her." he said as Helanea looked at her lap and smiled thinking of the joke of bringing the whole army for Cersei"

"I thought that was what we are trying to avoid," Dany spoke

"We don't have to bring the whole army. Only one soldier." Tyrion proposes 

 "Is that possible?" Helaena asked "The first I ever saw was brought into Castle Black from beyond the Wall." jon told them

 "Bring one of these things down to King's Landing and show her the truth." The lannister man said 

"Anything you bring back will be useless unless Cersei grants us an audience and is somehow convinced not to murder us the moment we set foot in the capital" Helaena said 

"The only person she listens to is Jaime. He may listen to me." Tyrion said to them "And how would you get into King's Landing"

Tyrion and Jon both look at Davos "I can smuggle you in, but if the Goldcloaks were to recognize you, I'm warning you, I'm not a fighter" He told the group 

"Well, it will all be for nothing if we don't have one of these dead men," Dany told them bursting their idea 

 "How do you propose to find one?"Helaena asked as Ser Jorah spoke up  "With the queen's permission, I'll go north and take one. You asked me to find a cure so I could serve you. Allow me to serve you." 

" I appreciate your loyalty more than anyone but when was the last time you were North? If you are going to find someone beyond the wall, you need someone who knows the North."

"The free folk will help us. They know the real north better than anyone." Jon tells them "They won't follow Ser Jorah." Helaena said, "They won't have to." Jon told him

"You can't lead a raid beyond the wall. You're not in the Night's Watch anymore. You're King in the North." Ser Davos tells Jon

" I'm the only one here who fought them. I'm the only one here who knows them." Jon said 

 "I haven't given you permission to leave," Dany tells the duo 

With all due respect, Your grace, I don't need your permission. I am a king. And I came here knowing that you could have your men behead me or your dragons burn me alive. I put my trust in you, a stranger because I knew it was the best chance for my people, for all our people. Now I'm asking you to trust in a stranger because it's our best chance." Jon tells dany 

Dany looks at her sister then to Jon as she nods giving them permission to walk into death
