"Your sister is not like you." Tormund remarked. 

"She's becoming my mother." Salem agreed. "Thats horrifying." Tormund chuckled. "I thought you left?"

"Do you have a heart in that impressive chest of yours?" Tormund countered. 

 "When Robb died, the news of both him and my mother met our ears. I wept for them both but my tears were for Robb. My twin my other half." Salem informed him honestly but her face was hard as stone at the memory.  "I loved my mother but our relationship was much like Sansa and mine is becoming. Best in small doses before we rip each others throats out." Tormund stared back at her. "So yes. I do." Salem assured. "Have a heart."

"You make it sound so vicious." Tormund smirked

"I am a wolf, honey." Salem reminded him.

"Honey, pet names already, I love it!" Tormund declared. 

"Get to the wall." Salem countered. 

"I sent some men ahead, I can catch up, I thought you might need me." 

"I assure you. I dont." Salem countered. 

"You dont need anyone." Tormund agreed. Salem's jaw was tight. "It's okay to admit you need help."

"I dont need help."

"You could be a wildling." Tormund remarked. "I will make you a wildling, give it time." Salem rolled her eyes. "You act this tough guy-"

"I am tough, you dont know the shit i went through." Salem corrected. "I almost married Joffrey, twice!" 

"How did you get out that?" Tormund questioned. 

"Induced vomiting all over him at the alter the first time. Broke his dick the second time." 

"Dick." Tormund repeated. 

"I survived the Lannisters, I survived Baelish, my psycho aunt Lysa, I survived the Boltons, you dont know and will never know all I have been through, so yeah. I claim the tough girl 'act', because I have thick skin, this world made me this way. Get over it and stop acting like you know me." She demanded. Tormund sighed, he was not a man easily swayed away though, he would be patient, wear her down eventually. 

"Why dont you give us a shot? I know you are the one, you just need to play catch up."  Tormund decided, Salem groaned out. 

"Tormund." Jon demanded. "Leave Salem alone!" 

"He doesnt listen." Salem countered. "I dont need a man."

Brienne and Podrick were sparring, but Podrick being Podrick and Brienne being a skilled warrior every mistake Podrick took left him easily open. She hit him on the back and he grunted out.

"Nope." Brienne offered simply.

They reset. Pod advanced and they exchange several sword blows but Podrick mis stepped again and Brienne tags him on the behind. Pod grunted again. 

"Nope." She answered simply. Podrick looked to Salem as she walked by, Tormund whacked him over the back of the head before knocking him to the ground. 

"No." Tormund warned pointing a finger down at Podrick. "She's mine." 

"Sorry." Podrick whispered, he didnt even know what he was apologizing for but he didnt want to get murdered.

'Queen Daenerys I was a slave once bought and sold scorched and branded is an honor to meet the breaker of chains.' The red woman said.

'The red priestess helped bring peace to Meereen,'' Daenerys was informed.

'Then you're very welcome here what are you doing here?' Daenerys questioned.

'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?'

'No.' she answered 'it didn't.'

'You chose an auspicious day to arrive a dragon stone we've just decided to pardon those who have served the wrong king,' Danny 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 me?' Danny questioned

'The night is long, only the prince who is promised will bring the Dawn.' She recited.

''The prince who is promised to bring the Dawn I'm afraid I'm not a prince,' Danny told her

'Your Grace I'm sorry but your translation is not quite accurate there is 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 me?' Danny pondered.

'Prophecies are dangerous thing,' the red woman told her 'I believe you have a role to play as does another the King in the north Jon snow.'

'Jon snow? Ned Stark's bastard.' Salem ran through Tyrion's mind. Salem was... Gods, he knew she was still alive, she was... deadly, he was certain that a shark would take one look at Salem and swim the other way, same goes for Lions and wolves, if they were smart. Everyone would run away from her wrath. Tyrion knew his wifes wrath all too well. 

''Do you know him?' Danny questioned Tyrion.

'Yes I traveled to the wall with him when he went to join the nights watch.' Tyrion informed them. "I knew his sister very well..." Tyrion thought he might leave out the bit where Salem said she might poison his awful family and save the realms from the Lannister name but maybe Daenerys would like that.

'Why do you think the Lord of light signals out this Jon Snow?' Varys questioned 'Aside from the visions she has seen in the flames?' varys added

'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 the uncommon enemy.' The red woman told them.

'He sounds like quite a man,' Danny agreed

'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 said

'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. His certainly hates Cersei more than you, I know that with a fact, she has a burning hatred for Cersei.''

''Very well,' Danny agreed 'send a raven over to the north tell Jon snow that his queen invites him to come to Dragon stone and bend the knee.''
