Life After Death

Failed Plan

KING'S LANDING

Everything was on fire, and Daenerys was standing in the middle of it. She had no idea what happened. She was searching for Jon and Missandei. Desperately. Full of concern. She barely could see anything, then a raven attacked her through the flames. Tried to etch her eyes, she fall to the ground and screamed. Tried to shoo the bird away, then a spear went through the bird's body. An ice spear. The raven fell to the ground and bleeding. The bird was lifeless. She barely could breathe, and she was trying to find where it comes from. Her heart stopped at the moment when she saw how to figures came out from the flames. A small child and a man. Missandei and Jon. They were holding hands, but when they raised their eyes on her those eyes were blue. Ice blue. "No" she swallowed and shook her head. "No." her lips were trembling. 
"This is the end," Missandei answered brusquely, and Dany felt pain in her chest. She looked down at her body, and there was a dagger in her heart. The same dagger that Jon used when he killed her in King's Landing years ago. She felt how her nose starts to bleed and she fell to her knees, meanwhile, they were just standing there and watching her dying. Her vision became blurred but the last thing she saw, was the Night King. Stepped next to her family and smirked. 

DRAGONSTONE

"NO" she screamed and woke up. Jumped up on the bed. 
"Dany!" Jon got scared. She woke him up with her screech and he immediately placed his arms around her. "What happened? What did you dream?" he was looking at her face and placed his palm to her cheek. She shook her head, then just placed her arms to his neck and hugged him close. Squeezed him. "It was just a dream." he was caressing her back."
"Since..." she tried to tell him her feelings "I am afraid of my dreams. What if it is not just a dream? What if..." she filled with fear. 
"Last time you dreamed about us. Living together in a wonderful place with our children." Jon tried to calm her down. "Not every dream of you is a prophecy." he kissed her cheek. "It was just... because you are afraid." 
"Yeah." she nodded and released him. "I just... do you think we are ready?" she asked him and staring at his face. "For this? For that war?"
"I am afraid it is not our decision." he frowned. "But we have the most important thing to fight for. Our family. Our daughter." he placed his forehead to hers. "We'll never be ready, but we are going to win this war. Together." 
"I love you," she whispered to him and he just answered with a kiss to her forehead. He was scared too. His deepest fear was losing her. Losing their daughter. He was not ready. Not at all, but as he said... it was not their decision. They have to fight and they have to defeat the raven, the Night King, and the deads. There is no other way. A knock disturbed that intimate moment between them. Jon gave another kiss to her and stood up. Pulled his pants to his lower body, and walked to the door. 

Grey Worm was standing there in front of him. He looked at Jon with a grimace in his face, as usual. Jon got used to it. Grey Worm couldn't let the past away, no matter the Queen forgave Jon, he is not able to do it. He was sure... the Unsullied captain still blames him because of the death of his lover. He blamed himself in a way too. If he would have been... next to Daenerys... maybe it would have happened in a different way. 
"What can I do for you?" he asked Grey Worm. 
"I've got a message for the Queen. From Tyrion Lannister," he stated with so serious face. Jon glanced back to the bed, above his shoulder and he saw how Daenerys kept the blanket around her body and stood up. 
"What does he want?" she asked him while she was walking towards them. 
"He wants to talk with you" Grey Worm changed the language to high valyrian "about his sister" he continued. Dany nodded, and she hated that she was right about Sansa. She planned something. Daario managed to take her to Tyrion. She wondered what the tyrant dwarf wants to tell her. 
"I'll be in the map room in an hour. Take him there," she answered in the common language. Grey Worm bowed with his head and turned to leave.
"What does he want?" Jon frowned and closed the door. 
"You've heard it. He wants to talk with me." she smiled at her lover. 
"About what?" Jon kept asking questions. "He usually changes the language, when he tries to keep things hidden from me." he took a deep breath. "So, what is he hiding from me? Or you?"
"I..." she opened her mouth and lowered her head. Hesitated. 
"If you won't tell me, then Tyrion will because I am coming with you," he added and walked passed by her towards the bath premise. He looked pissed. 
"Jon." Dany sighed. "He has some information about your sister." she looked at him, and he was turning back to her slowly. "Grey Worm told that he wants to talk about Sansa." she swallowed. 
"In this case, I'll definitely be involved in this meeting." he narrowed his eyes, and a moment later he disappeared behind the door. Dany sighed and sat to the edge of the bed. She bit her lower lip. Jon would have never agreed to do this with Sansa. He was straighter, more honest than that. He hated lies and deceit. If it would have depended on him... he would just ask Sansa about her plans but she would never tell him. She was dangerous. She learned it last time. No matter how innocently she looks, she really taught many things from Cersei Lannister. Some minutes passed and she sank in her thoughts. She did not notice when Jon came back to the room. He placed his hand to her shoulder, and she smiled a bit at him. 
"I..." she started, she wanted to tell him... the plan she had with Daario, before the meeting with Tyrion, but the door opened without any knock or warning, and Missandei ran inside. Nesera tried to catch her, but she stopped at the door.
"My apologies." she started with a small smile. Jon just laughed, and he just watched how his precious little daughter immediately finds happiness in her mother's arms. Dany hugged her and adjusted her hair. 
"Darling, I thought we agreed that you'll do what Nesera asks." Dany caressed Missandei's little cheek.
"I am sorry," she answered in the cutest way. None of them can be angry with her. She just wanted to be with her parents, and that was normal. "Dagon and Joral fly out. I was... alone," she told them. 
"And you hate to be alone I know that." Dany kissed her forehead, then glanced at Jon. They both knew what the other thinks. If she can have a sister or a brother... it would be amazing. They exchanged a smile and Jon crouched to her daughter. Nesera was staring at them and her heart filled with joy and happiness. They were the perfect family, despite their past. They could let the past away, and only that mattered. They'll be amazing rulers if they decide they want to rule. If they survive. She did not want to disturb them anymore, and she took some steps back and left the room.

That hour passed quickly, and Missandei hardly wanted to let them leave her behind. She was devoted to her parents, and the feeling was mutual. If Grey Worm did not warn them, they probably forget about the meeting. They needed those happy family moments especially on the brink of war. Daenerys arrived in the map room alone, Jon promised her he'll be there in a couple of minutes. She hoped he'll arrive sooner than Tyrion. She was staring out the window, and she saw how those dark clouds stopped above the continent. They did not move anywhere since yesterday. That was strange. They thought the deads will immediately start marching towards the capital. Of course, there was still a chance, they are doing it, but they can't be sure. Maybe she should send some ships to check the situation on the shores. The door opened and she turned to the direction. Tyrion stepped inside, accompanied by two unsullied soldiers. She spotted Grey Worm and Daario behind them. 
"Your Grace." Daario smiled at her. 
"I didn't remember when I called you to be here." Dany frowned.
"Grey Worm insisted on my presence." he shrugged his shoulders. "He did not tell the reasons. I thought you wanted me to join." 
"I'd like him to stay." Grey Worm cut the conversation between them. "He is dangerous." he glanced at Tyrion. "More of us keep their eye on you is better." he was a real soldier, and he would die for her anytime. She appreciated that. 
"As I heard... you wanted to tell something to me." she swallowed and raised her eyes at Tyrion. The two unsullied soldiers stepped away from him, and they walked out of the room, at the moment Jon arrived there. 

"My apologies." Jon smiled at Dany. "Your daughter is ... quite stubborn," he added quickly and stepped next to his love. His Queen. 
"My daughter?" she glanced at him and there was a small grin on her face. She asked him so quietly. 
"Ahm..." Jon looked around. "I think we can start. As I know... you have some information about my sister." he straightened himself next to Daenerys. She and Daario exchanged a look and then she turned back to Tyrion. 
"I do." Tyrion stepped closer to the table. "She... you have to promise. Promise me If I tell you this nothing happens to her." he raised his eyes at them. 
"Depends on the thing that you want to share with us." Dany shrugged her shoulders, and Tyrion was looking straight to Jon's eyes after that reaction.
"She is my sister. After all, and she might be confused." Jon sighed. "First of all, we have to know... what you want to share with us." 
"I talked to her. She ... trusts me and she asked my help, but I refused. She thinks Bran is still wanted the best for the people, and she wants to save Arya, no matter the price. She ... wants to do things... because of her family. Like you did." he nodded towards Jon "As we all do." he frowned and turned his head back to Daenerys. 
"What did she tell you, exactly?" Dany raised her brow. 
"Brandon Stark wants your daughter. If she takes your daughter to him, Arya will be free." Tyrion swallowed. "But... I can convince her it is a bad idea. I tried but we did not have too much time to talk. If you allow me to ..."
"How did she even talk with you?" Jon leaned to the table and kept his eyes on Tyrion, then raised his eyes to Daario.
"I... thought... " Tyrion tried to answer, but he had no idea what to say.
"Does it matter? It happened." Dany tried to save the situation, but Grey Worm stepped next to Tyrion.
"Daario Naharis took Sansa Stark to Tyrion Lannister. My guards reported. I did not tell you, because I wanted to know what he is planning against you." he talked so proudly. He was satisfied. He really kept his eyes on everything. 
"It is not what you think." Daario rolled his eyes, then glanced at Daenerys. Jon turned to his love too. "I would never betray the Queen," Daario added. 
"I thought you denied the request of Sansa." Jon was watching her face. She did not look at him. 
"I suggest we should take him to prison..." Grey Worm started.
"It is not needed." Dany finally forms some words. "Daario Naharis just fulfilled the Queen's order. " She swallowed and slowly looked at Jon.
