KING'S LANDING

Smoke and fire are seen in the distance across the river. Bronn breaks the surface of the water and takes a breath. He pulls Jaime up and Jaime gasps for breath. Bronn helps Jaime to the shore and drops him to the ground and collapses next to him. Jaime coughs up water and continues struggling on the ground to breathe. Both men roll onto their backs and gasp for air.

Jaime: You could have killed me.

Bronn: What the fuck were you doing back there?

Jaime: Ending the war by killing her.

Bronn: You saw the dragon between you and her?

He looks at Jaime

Bronn: Listen here, cunt. Till I get want I want, a dragon doesn't get to kill you, you don't get to kill you. Only I get to kill you. And I want to Backton's Keep and I will have it.

DRAGONSTONE

Elizabeth is standing on the cliffs looking out towards the ocean. Drogon roars and flies over her with Daenerys on his back. Drogon lands near Elizabeth and opens its jaws roaring in her face.

Elizabeth takes off her glove and extends her hand to Drogon. The dragon lowers his head and lets Elizabeth touch him. Daenerys smiles and climbs down from the mount. Drogon turns and flies away

Daenerys: They missed you, you know?

Elizabeth: They've gotten more beautiful

Daenerys turns to look at her three dragons as they fly over Dragonstone in the distance.

Elizabeth: You weren't gone long.

Daenerys: No

Elizabeth: And?

Daenerys: And we have fewer enemies today then we did yesterday

Elizabeth doesn't say anything

Daenerys: You're not sure how you feel about that.

Elizabeth: No I'm not.

Daenerys: How many men did your army kill taking Winterfell back from the Boltons?

Elizabeth: Thousands.

Daenerys: We both want to help people. We can only help them from a position of strength. Sometimes strength is terrible. When you first came here, Hanir said Aelor took a dagger to the heart for his people.

Elizabeth: He gets carried away.

Daenerys: So it was a figure of speech?

A group of Dothraki guards approach Daenerys and speak in their native tongue.

Guard: This man says he is your friend, Khaleesi.

The guard steps to the side and Jorah stands behind him. Elizabeth glares towards him going to step closer but Daenerys places her hand on her chest.

Daenerys: He is my friend

Jorah kneels before

Jorah: Your Grace

He stands

Daenerys: Elizabeth, you remember Ser Jorah.

Jorah: Elizabeth

Daenerys: Elizabeth is Queen in the North now

Jorah's eyes widens in shock

Daenerys: Aelor is here as well

Jorah: I see.

Daenerys: You look strong. You found a cure?

Jorah: I wouldn't be here if I hadn't. I return to the King's servie, if he'll have me.
