Reunited

Donner had been put in a warm room at Castle Black where he was able to take off his winter clothes, "Promise me even if the world gets a little colder you'll still be a little more kinder?" She had said as soon as she entered the room, "Did you really think you were going to die?"

"No, but I'll die of frostbite if you keep the door open, " he said with a smile, causing her to turn around and shut the door. A healer sat beside the bed, tending to his wound, "I made it back. Just for you."

She sits down in a chair on the other side of the bed, "You forced Drogon to take off without you."

The healer wrapped a bandage around his midsection before leaving, "Dany, he could've killed Viserion. He would've killed Drogon. I had Robb."

Seeing that the healer was gone, she moved forward to sit on the bed next to him, "I thought you were going to die when Robb turned around."

"He took me to a cave." Donner reached for the crown and scroll that were sitting by his bed, "The original Crown that the Kings of Winter wore and the original plans for the Wall, designed by Bran the Builder. Something else happened when I was in that cave."

Donner's expression dropped, remembering what had happened, "There was a petrified dragon in the middle of the cave. In front of it, a chest. I was able to unlock it because I had the same rune. It's where I found the crown and scroll. I found a piece of a gem. The Night King was there. He didn't try to kill me. I should've tried to kill him. He let me go. After I left I could hear a dragon roar."

She was quiet as she listened to him talk, "If we weren't fucked after seeing the Army of the Undead, we're fucked if he has a dragon."

"We have four dragons, the Unsullied and Dothraki screamers, " Daenerys said.

Donner shook his head, "They can reanimate the dead. We shrink they grow larger."

"How do we defeat an army of the dead? We can't kill all of them."

"We can't. We kill the king."

A week later, Donner flew through the air on Robb with Daenerys on Drogon. Viserion who could now fly better and Rhaegal followed behind them.

They crossed numerous farms where the common people watched four dragons fly through the air. Drogon screeched his familiar cry as they neared the Dragon Pit. The sound of wings flapping grew louder as the dragons prepared to land.

Everyone except Cersei emerges from the pergola cover to see Drogon landing on the lip of the Dragon Put. Robb follows suit, landing beside her. Viserion with little trouble lands besides Robb. Rhaegal, however, stays in the air.

The weight if the dragons crush the already crumbling area where their claws are. Cersei stares at Daenerys in disgust. As Daeneys climbs down onto his wing, Euron stares at the beast, entranced. He looks to Cersei then back to Daenerys.

Donner slides down Robb's wing, giving the dragon a pat. Once he's off, Robb flies up to join Rhaegal. Once Daenerys is safely off Drogon, he flies up to join Robb and his brother, leaving Viserion looking up at them.

Most are cowed by the sight of these beasts, including some of Daenerys' allies. Cersei only displays disdain for the theatricality of the gesture. Jon Snow sots, followed by Ser Davos and Brienne Tarth. Daenerys arrives at her chair and sits. Her people follow suit.

Donner climbs down from the wall of the Dragon Put and joins them. From besides Jon, Alice reveals herself. She had joined them by boat after refusing to stay in Dragonstone. Donner lightly pats her on the head before taking a seat next to Daenerys.
