THE THRONE ROOM LOOKED JUST HOW IT DID IN HER VISION only the area behind the Iron Throne has beendestroyed altogether window behind the throne,Lannister or otherwise.The snow falls lightly through the collapsed roof as shesteps past the pillars, and down the central aisle. Rubble fromthe fallen roof is visible on the floor, covered in a layerof snow.

Dany reaches out to touch it and hesitates. She touches the arm ofthe throne, resting her hand on the cold metal where so manyof her ancestors' hands rested for so many centuries.She is standing directly in front of it as Jon enters the throneroom. 

 She steps down to meet him "When me and my sister were little girls, our brother told us it was made with a thousandswords from Aegon's fallen enemies" She smiles at the memory as she turns back to Jon. "What do a thousand swords look likein the mind of little girls whocan't count to twenty? I imagined amountain of swords too high toclimb. So many fallen enemies youcould only see the soles of Aegon'sfeet"

"I saw them executing Lannisterprisoners in the street. They saidthey were acting on your orders" Jon said angry

"It was necessary," She said coldly "Have you been down there? Have youseen Children. Little children, were burned" Jon yelled "I tried to make peace with Cersei. And she used their innocence as aweapon against me. She thought itwould cripple me, leave me unableto do what needed to be done. She left me no choice"

"And Tyrion? He conspired behind my back with myenemies. How have you treatedpeople who've done the same to you?Even when it broke your heart?" Dany asked her lover 

"Forgive him" Jon begged "I can't" "you can. You can forgive all ofthem. Make them see that they madea mistake. Make them understand Please, Dany"Jon cries

"We can't hide behind small mercies. The world we need won't be built bymen loyal to the world we have" Dany said to him "The world we need is a world ofmercy. It has to be.She starts to close the gap between them"Jon told the dragon queen

"It will be" Dany says as she takes his hands. "It's not easy to see somethingthat's never been before. A goodworld" Dany Started "How do you know? That it will be good? "Because I know what is good I knowwhat is right And so do you" Dany says as Jon shakes his head.

"What about everyone else? All theother people who think they knowwhat's good and right?" Jon asked "They don't get to choose" Jon understands what this means for the people he loves 

"Be with me, build the new worldwith me. This is our reason, it hasbeen from the beginning. Since you were a little boy with abastard's name, and I was a littlegirl who couldn't count to twenty. We do it together. We break thewheel together my sister needs us" Dany told him.Jon nods. "You are my Queen, now and always" Jon says 

 Dany steps forward andkisses the man she loves its passionate as they both close their eyes

Dany's eyes open suddenly as she draws a sharp breath.Jon's eyes open as well, already filling with tears.Jon still has his hand on the hiltof the dagger he just lodged in Dany's heart.Her strength leaves her and she collapses to the floor as the air gets sucked out of her 

Dany looks at him with betrayl and a tear falls down her cheek knowing she is leaving this world and knowing she never sat on the iron throne and knowing that she is leaving her sister in the cruel world all by herself, A big step from the little girl in the Dorthraki camp

Dany lies dead in his arms as thesnow drifts down Jon buries his head next to hers and cries.His cries is brought to an end by the sound of beatingwings, coming closer, and a great roar two great roars.Jon looks to the place the ceiling used to be and seesDrogon and Syrax wheeling in the sky, Syrax has Helaena on her as she lands before him, 

Helaena sees the body of her sister and lets out a howling shreik, like the wind was pushed out of hr, She runs to her sister and Jon moves backward, Helaena mumbles no over and over as she tries to wake up her sister whom she saw as a mother

tears flow out of her eyes like a waterfall as she sobs and sobs as she barley can talk 

 Drogon's wings fall to his side, displacing enoughair that Jon has to steel himself against the gust.Jon doesn't flee as Drogon moves his head close to Dany's body and Helaena's sobbing figure. He sniffs at her. He nudges Helaena gently.

The dragon rises up towering over Jon while Syrax lays down next to Helaena in a comforting way. 

Drogon roars to the sky with rage.He looks down at Jon as the fire builds up in his throat.Helaena looks up and sees Drogon and Jon prepares to die.But the blast is not for him. He breathes fire on the back wall, blasting down what remainsof the great red blocks of stone: The iron throne

The smoke clears as a puddle ofsmoldering slag where the throne once stood.  Drogon turns back to Dany's lifeless body and delicatelygathers her up with a claw while Syrax uses his snout to pick up Helaena's figure to move out of the way

Jon watches him leave, with his mother's corpse in hisgrasp

Drogon flies into the city with Dany's lifelessbody clutched as he heads out toward the eastern sky, flying over BlackwaterBay never to be seen again leaving behind the sobbing Targaryen who cries in the arms her dragons

until she feels the arms of Greyworm in case her and Unsullied enters the room all with angry expressions and spears drawn at Jon
