The Unburnt Lion Game of Thrones fanfiction

Chapter 12

(No ones POV) Jon Snow, Sansa and his men gather for a council meeting to discuss the letter from Queen Tara. Arriving in the hall, sitting down next to Sansa. "We recieved a letter from the newely crowned Tara. Asking for peace and telling we can be our own nation." Sana says. "How can we trust these southerners?" a man questions. "I say we return their violence." Another man demands. "Winter is coming, if there is a chance for peace. We should see what this new queen has to say." Davos counters. "There's more." Sansa says, a guard walking a man up to the front, removing the bag, the entire crowd gasps. Lothar Frey hardly stands up in front of the crowd, with a bloodied face. "Queen Tara says 'I have apprehended all the members of house Frey. Sending Lothar Frey to the north, keeping all other members of house Frey in the dungons of the Red Keep. For their crimes against the North, House Frey is imprisoned, waiting your judgment. I will have my army deliver the entirety of House Frey to the North once you have replied to this letter. In the mean time, I have claimed all land and property from House Frey in the name of the North ,claim the land once belonging to House Frey as your own. I wait for your response. Sincerely Tara Targaryen Lannister.'" Sansa reads. "What is stopping her from coming here with her dragon and army to wipe us out?" A man yells. "She asks for peace and a southern army is no good in the north." Davos says. "Tara is a Lannister and Targaryen, shes a combination of the craziest families." a man yells, crowd yelling over each other. "Tara may be a southerner." Jon yells, silencing the room. "But Tara is also a human being, like us she has lost family. With so many suffering, don't you think the south wants peace just as much as we do. Give peace a chance, for everyone, for the North." Jon declares. "For the north." a man yells, everyone starting to yell "For the North."

(Tara POV)I have received a answer from the North, they will accept my offer of peace and will have me as a guest at Winterfell. Having sent my soldiers ahead with House Frey, I leave today for Winterfell on Eghar. I stand by Eghar with mother and Qyburn, uncle Jamie leading my army with the Frey's. "Are you sure Jamie can't make the peace terms?" mother questions. "I told the Starks I would come to Winterfell, and I mean to go to Winterfell. I know you are worried, but this is the end of the war. We will no longer  have to fear the North, and the North doesn't have to fear us." I answer. "Fly safe your grace." Qyburn says. "Try not to start another war while I'm gone. I love you mother." I say, hugging mother. "I love you my unburnt lion. Be careful." Mother murmers. Breaking the hug, I climb onto Eghar, "Fly Eghar." I command in Valyrian. Eghar taking off for the north.(Time Skip) I fly over Winterfell, finding a safe landing next to my army's in a large field. Landing, uncle Jamie walks up to me as I climb off of Eghar. I rub Eghars head, her trembling in the cold. "Don't worry Eghar will be back in the sun before you know it." I tell Eghar, her shrugging off the falling snow. "My queen." Jamie greets. "Commander. What have Starks said?" I ask "They have taken the Freys, and are planning a trial for them all, some their own case.  Walter Frey is the first to be put on trial in a few days. They set up a gathering in their main hall. They saw you and Eghar and are waiting for you." Jamie explains, glancing at a close gate of Winterfell, where I see few people. "Shall we." I murmur, walking with Jamie to the Starks.

(No ones POV)Queen Tara walks up to the Stark's, Jamie Lannister at her side. "Queen Tara, welcome to Winterfell. I'm Jon Snow, King in the North. This is my sister Sansa Stark, and Ser Davos Seaworth." Jon introduces, "Its a honor to be here Jon Snow. This is my uncle and head of my army Jamie Lannister. I hope we can come to agreement for both our countries." Tara tells. "We thank you for arresting the Freys and handing them over to us." Jon says. "All our crimes of war have destroyed so much. I want to start our alliance making amends for our part in such cruelty." Tara lets out. "Your dragon is magnificent." Sansa compliments. "Her name is Eghar, after her egg and my fathers name, she's my sister." I tell, looking over at Eghar. "If you will follow us we have much to talk about." Jon states. Getting to the main hall, the Starks and Tara's people sit across from each other. "As I said in my letter, I am ready to accept the North as its own country, separate from Westeros. I hope to have an alliance between the north and Westeros." Tara explains. "We agree with that terms, but before we speak of more particular terms, we have a bigger issue." Davos lets out. "Queen Tara, the war between our countries may be ending, but the Great war has just begun. The Great war of the Whitewalkers." Jon proclaims. "I have heard from the wall of whitewalkers. But I thought it was talk and that the white walkers were extinct, if they existed at all." Tara says. "They have returned, the Night King and his army walks for the wall. I have fought against them myself, the killed men of our own joins his ranks. Only thing you can kill them with is fire, dragon glass and Valyrian steel." Jon explains. Tara asks "So your saying a army of the dead marches to our lands?" "Yes. They don't have terms, demands or wants or needs. All they want is to kill and destroy everything in there path." Sansa answers. Tara thinks for a moment before murmuring, "I have lost a lot, as have all of you. But if what you say is true, what we have left will be gone." "We speak the truth your majesty." Davos tells. "How can you prove these claims?" Jamie asks. Sansa and Jon look at each other before looking back at Tara. "Come to the wall, see for yourself." Jon says. "It would take days if not weeks to get to the wall. Even if Queen Tara flies with Eghar she does not know the way or where to look." Jamie argues. "You need a guide. Some one that knows the wall and the white walkers." Ser Davos tells. "Who better than one who has fought them." Sansa points out. Everyone looks to Jon. "I will fly to the wall, if Jon Snow will accompany me." Tara offers. Jon thinks it over, glancing around the room, before looking at Tara. "We can fly to the wall." Jon mutters. "What's stopping either of you from killing each other?" Ser Davos questions, "Its for the North and Westeros that we make this expedition, we have no reason for violence. You give me your word, and I shall give my word of no violence from me." Tara tells. "I give my word of no violence." Jon tells. "Its settled, we leave at dawn. If you will accompany me King Jon, I think Eghar and you should meet before we fly tomorrow." Queen Tara states, standing up with everyone else. Jon nods before everyone following Tara back to Eghar who is feasting on extra horses brought by her soldiers for Eghar. Tara walks up to Eghar, soothing both their nerves by being next to each other. Jon slowly approaches, Tara smiling welcoming him to Eghars side. "She is still a little shy. Come up to her head, so she can meet you properly." Tara tells. Tara and Jon walk up to Eghars head, Eghar slightly grumbling slightly growling seeing a new person. Jon slowly puts his hand on Eghars head, Eghar calming down as he pets her. Jon chuckles, not believing he's seeing let alone touching a dragon. "My grandfather Tywin gave me and mother Cersei a dragon egg when I was born. For my Targaryen ancestry. My grandfather Aerys had already divorced my mother and father, because my mother birthed a daughter, not a son. When I was barely a toddler, someone set my nursery on fire. Mother and me are sure it was Robert, he wanted to kill all Targaryens, me especially for being offspring of Rhaegar. But my Targaryen blood made it so flame didn't hurt me. Eghars egg hatched in the flames, in my crib. We have never been apart, she's my sister." Tara lets out. Looking over at Jon before looking at Eghar "Sorry, I don't know why I'm saying all that." "Its alright. My direwolf Ghost and me have been inseparable since the day I found him as a pup." Jon tells. "You have a direwolf?" Tara asks, looking at Jon Snow, "Yes. One day, my father Ned Stark and my brothers, we found a dead direwolf and six of her pups. The pups were still alive, I convinced my father that with the direwolf being the symbol of the Starks, the Stark children were meant to have them. I found Ghost, away from the other pups siblings. Ghost is the only one I know that is still alive of the 6 direwolves. Ghost has done everything with me, one of my most loyal friends, family." Jon explains. "Family is blood and family can be more than blood." Tara declares.
