The TRUE Game of Thrones Ending (Episode 3 to 6 of Season 8)

The First of the Starks (Episode 4 Season 8) Part 1

Jon Snow, his hands blocked by chains, finds himself sitting in a makeshift camp set up by the men of the golden company. The young king in the north was deeply worried and could not hide it. When he went away with Rhaegal to bring the Night King on him, the Battle of Winterfell was still raging, the wights had broken down the defenses and Jon unfortunately ignored everything what has happened so far. Harry Strickland, very confident and satisfied with his capture, comes to see him, offering him a sip of water, but Jon remained exasperated by the almost detached behavior of the mercenaries and try to talk with the captain of the mercenaries.

_ "Listen, I'm not kidding! The army of the dead is on us and thousands of people are dying! You must act, help us, I beg you!" Jon claimed, upset, but is quickly restrained by a mercenary who forces him to sit down under the threat of his sword.

Harry Strickland listened, contenting himself with a nod and a smirk.

_ "Thanks for the news. Queen Cersei will be delighted." responds Strickland.

Jon was speechless. The captain ordered his men to move the camp and Jon was taken by force towards the south. But as Jon glances behind him as he is dragged by two mercenaries, he quickly observes Harry Strickland addressing one of his men on horseback and seeming to entrust him with a messenger mission.

***********

After the Battle of Winterfell was lost, the survivors, who had managed to embark on the ships of the Targaryen fleet, went to Dragonstone for refuge, Daenerys having opened the doors to the refugees from the north. In the fortress, everyone was busy caring for the wounded. The unsullied, dothrakis and northerners soldiers having survived, who were few in number, made an inventory and try to establish a balance sheet of losses in their ranks, all under the direction of Brienne, Podrick and Jaime. An atmosphere of defeat reigned over the fortress. The sacrifices of some friends staying anchored in memories. Brienne remained strong and do not forget Tormund who gave his life while a white walker was preparing to slaughter her. Sansa remains deeply marked by Theon's death, as does Missandei for Grey Worm despite the attempt of Daenerys to comfort her, the queen being also marked by the death of her best commander. Jorah could not have forgotten the heroic sacrifice of Lyanna against a giant who massacred her troops. The feeling of helplessness was total.

Assisted by Gilly, Samwell uses some talents he has learned at the citadel to help the injured. Unfortunately, some people were too seriously injured and many of them succumb to it. Samwell finds himself helpless in front of a Northerner soldier who has had an arm torn off and just died. Tyrion, Sansa, Varys, Missandei, Jorah and Davos have gathered in Dragonstone's council room and were thinking about what they could do to stop the advance of the army of the dead. Earlier, Sansa wrote a letter to Yara Greyjoy, announcing the heroic sacrifice of her brother Theon at the Battle of Winterfell and humbly asking for help. Arya, on her side, decided to isolate herself, and Gendry has trouble trying to give her back a smile. Sandor was also isolated, embittered, trying to drown his anger in alcohol.

But his loneliness was quickly disrupted by the arrival of Melisandre at his side. Sandor gave her a quick, scowling look and drinks another sip.

_ "If you still come to tell me the same shit as Beric did, it's really not the moment ..." warned Sandor already very angry.

The Red Priestess does not seem intimidated and approaches anyway.

_"I did not come here to judge you. Only the lord of the light can give me that right. I'm here to fulfill a promise I made to Ser Beric. He wanted to give you something."

_ "And what could this moron have to offer me?" the Hound asked, raising an eyebrow, wary.

Melisandre leaned over him and slips a few words into his ear. Sandor listens, and seems disconcerted to the highest degree.
