      We all sat at his bedside waiting. Talking back and forth and sharing smiles to each other. I hadn't said anything. Guess it's always traditional for the closest to say something last. I'd laugh at the conversation as they shared memories and just funny stories.

The woman, or witches as I called them, hadn't been found yet. I sent almost all of the soldiers to go look for them. If they really haven't found them by now, then they could possibly be long gone.
Dominic started coughing. I quickly hurried to get him some water.
"That is a really bad cough 'eh?" Dominic chuckled. Everybody faked a smile nodding their heads but didn't say a word. Jorah stood up and grabbed my hand taking us to the opposite side of the tent.
"What happened to him exactly?" He asked.
"Its-... I don't know." I hadn't been sure yet so I didn't tell Jorah that he was poisoned. He had lowered his eyebrows and nodded. His face was confused.
      "Can you figure it out for me? I'm just too stressed."

      Jorah nodded putting his hand on my arm.
One of the soldiers came into the tent out of breath. I turned to him frightened, waiting for him to say they found them.
      "Khalessi, they were less than a mile away from here."
      "And? There were about 3 of them right?"
      "No my lady, just 1."
       I looked at Jorah and another soldier behind me and we all ran out.
      There was in fact one lady, guards were holding her hostage with a scarf in her mouth so she wouldn't speak.

      I walked towards her slowly and stopped just about a foot away from her. She just stared at me, but she wasn't scared. She looked at me as if she wanted this.
      I took the scarf out her mouth throwing it on the ground.
      "Where are the other 2?!" I yelled at her. No response.
      "There were 2 others. Where are they?!"
      She chuckled. "Please, they didn't do anything, they did hate your guts though, very jealous of you. Did you even think or ask how many woman the king was with before you came to the club? Or while he was with you...hm?"

At first I didn't say anything at all. I never came across that thought. He was the owner of the club, he could be with anybody he wanted.
I shook my head no because that topic didn't matter at the moment. Surely I'll have the talk with him when he feels better. But right now he doesn't feel well.
"You have no right to speak right now. You'll pay for what you've done to the king. Your a fool for thinking you'd get away with this..."

She smiled at me and scoffed.
I tilted my head a little and lowered my eyebrows.
"But that's what you wanted. That was your plan anyway."
"See, I'm not a fool." She chuckled.

I scoffed and a guard came running out the tent. "Khalessi, it's the king!"
I looked at her and headed towards the tent.
"He's a good kisser, too bad you, or we actually, won't be able to feel that again." She said before I could run inside.

I turned around and charged towards her, slapping her across the face. She almost fell down to the the ground but the guard kept her from reaching it. I grabbed her chin and pulled her face towards mine.
"Just wait, because when I get back I am going to give you a very slow death..." I let go of her and rushed inside before she could get another word out.

I approached Dominic's bed. He was surrounded by everybody so I couldn't get to him. He saw me through the small crowd and smiled at me. They looked at me and made space for me to come stand beside him. I sat on my knees beside him and took his hand. He looked dizzy, he was burning up and was sweating a lot.
Everyone behind me started to leave. Dominic lifted my chin and tears were coming out of my eyes. He wiped them and trailed his thumb across my red cheeks.
"I probably only have less than a minute before I die. So I just wanted to make this quick."

I kept my head down not being able to look at Dominic.
"I just don't know what I'm going to do without you."
My voice cracked not being able to hold it together.
"I know who you are Helena. You are more than what these people think of you. I know a man who will give you an army of about 2,000, and ships that will take you across the north. You rule all those people out there. Show them your power. Go to the north and claim your throne, you hear me?"

I sniffled and nodded my head still crying.
"I love you so much Helena Certie. I will not allow you to let my death keep you down. Not forever, alright?"
"I love you too Dominic. I love you so much." I said crying still. I looked up to him and noticed his eyes start to close. Tears roll down and I waited. When I noticed he stopped breathing, my face shriveled up. I put my face in my palms. I tried to get myself to stop and keep it together before I'd completely fall out. I looked up and reached two fingers for his eyes. Then felt a hand on my shoulder and quickly turned around seeing Jorah. He took my hand and helped me up. Right when I got up I hugged him. I wanted to hug him till all the pain was gone, but I knew that wouldn't be anytime soon. A guard went and closed his eyelids. I kept sobbing and sobbing and then finally stopped, slowly letting go of Jorah.
"My queen, my condolences, but what would you like for us to do with the body." The guard said. I didn't respond. I just stared at the entrance to the tent. "Khalessi?"

I left the tent and the guards were still standing their with the lady. I looked around as I saw everyone standing there waiting for news. Jorah and the guard came out standing beside me.
"We will light the tent as we say our goodbyes to the king. Also burn the witch beside the tent. Set up stake! Tonight, we burn the woman who has laid this curse on your king. We end his pain and send him to peace."
Everyone gasped when I told them the king was dead. Some cried, some chanted for the woman's execution. The guards immediately started to set up the stake for the witch. I looked at her and she was worried. Scared and about to cry.

We all gathered up front. I took the the big torch and lit everything on fire. Everyone watched. All you could hear was the woman screaming while tied up to the stake. I took big deep breaths and closed my eyes. Listening to her scream, for some reason it gave me reassurance. I felt better.
Then the thought crossed my mind quickly. I opened my eyes.
"My dragons..." I whispered. Jorah turned and looked at me. "My dragons!" I yelled and I quickly ran inside.
"HELENA!" I heard Jorah call from behind me as I ran inside.

I wanted to burn everything inside the tent with Dominic but forgot about my dragons. I couldn't leave them. They hadn't even hatched yet. I searched everywhere. I saw Dominic's body on fire, the pain came back quickly. I turned around and heard everyone concerned and gasping. Then I realized. I just walked through the fire. I had got a feeling but felt no pain. I found the case my dragon eggs were sitting in. They were okay. The case was going to catch on fire so I carried all 3 eggs in my hand.
      When I ran to exit, the entrance started to fall down. I quickly moved back. I had no way out. I sat in the middle and huddled to the ground protecting my dragons. Waiting for the fire to be over.

      Not much later. The fire went out, everything had burnt to crisp. I could feel the sun shining on my back. I was completely naked? Shoulder to toe. I could feel their eyes on me. I wasn't in heaven. I survived. I heard a screech in my ear. As I stood up a dark bronze green dragon was in my hands. As I looked to my right a black one was on my shoulder and another bronze yellow one on my other shoulder.

I looked up and around me. All of them stared at me. Was it my naked body? My dragons? Or both? The dragon on my left shoulder screeched. They all started to bow down to me. I looked at Jorah, he smiled at me joining me at the floor.
"I am Helena Certie! Queen of the Andals and and the Rhyonar and the First Men, Ruler of the Dothraki, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm, the unburnt and The Mother Of Dragons!"
