KING'S LANDING

Grey Worm remained in silence, and he was staring at the little girl. She caressed his face and he felt some peace when she touched him. Daario felt that he calmed down. He released him slowly when Jon nodded towards him. He was standing so close to his daughter at that moment. 
"Daenerys is ready." Bran rolled closer to Jon, but he was speechless. Seeing his brother in his living breath again was so strange, even if he knew that is not him. "Jon?" Bran frowned. "Are you alright?" he asked him "believe me I hate to wear his face. It is not easy. But... maybe that is the only way," he whispered quietly then looked around. Grey Worm frowned, and he started to understand the situation. 
"What do you want to do?" he straightened himself and looked at Jon.
"We set a trap." Jon took a deep breath. "With a ... bait." he couldn't believe he said those words. 
"You want to send your own daughter out there?" Jenifire stepped closer and she was nervous.
"He wants me." Missandei raised her eyes at the woman. "The Night King wants me," she repeated and Jon crouched down at that moment and raised her up to his arms and kissed her face.
"I won't let him touch you. Not today, not ever. I promise." he kissed his daughter's forehead again. 
"They are cold," Missandei stated quietly, and Jon did not understand at first. He frowned and looked into her eyes. She pointed towards the women and some children around the square. "They need fire." Missy continued and Jon has no idea how she feels those things, how she realize those things. She was just a 3-year-old toddler, but with some abilities... Jon was not sure he wants to understand this. He wanted one thing. Save her and her mothers life. That one thing mattered for him. His family. "Dad. We have to help them." 
"The princess is right." Nesera smiled at them, and Jon put his daughter to the ground, and she walked forward. The two dragons immediately jumped around her, and they were clearly happy to see her again. "Can you ask him to make some... fire?" Nesera placed her hand to Missandei's shoulder and raised up a torch. 
"They want to help." Missandei nodded and caressed Joral head. Then turned to Dagon. She did not say a word, just looked into the dragon's eyes. Deeply. Everyone held their breath and watched the little girl between the two supernatural creatures. Even her look was unique. She couldn't even deny that she has Targaryen blood in her veins. Her hair. The pure beauty as she was, but her eyes were his father's eyes. And those mixed features appeared on her in the most perfect way. Dagon turned to the torch and opened his mouth to breathe fire. Only a small flame came out from his mouth but that was perfectly enough. 
"Can we repeat it for a few more times? Until your father made the plan clear for everyone." Nesera asked Missy then turned to Jon. He swallowed a big one and nodded. The Red Priestess took Missandei's hand and they walked further from the others and the dragons followed them. 

"First of all. Daenerys flies out there, and check how many soldiers ... dead people around there, and how far, and what are they waiting for." Jon started. "She can separate the army of the dead, from the Night King with some fire. Or at least, she can hold them up with the fire, until we get the attention of the Night King."
"But he is not alone." Tormund stepped next to Jon. "He has those white scary buddies." he gestured.
"That is why I need the whole army. Everyone who is able to fight." Jon admitted. "You... all of you have to fight against them, meanwhile we catch the Night King, with Arya" he nodded towards his sister, who was wearing Bran's face. She agreed. "We have to do it fast, and without any hesitation or mistakes. That is our last chance." Jon sighed.
"What if he catches your daughter?" Yara asked shyly. 
"He won't."
"What if he will?" Jenifire stood next to Yara. "Because there is a chance, no matter how much you want to save her. What is the plan if things go wrong?" 
"That is not an option."
"They are right. We have to have... plan B." Daario sighed.
"You still don't understand." Jon took a deep breath and lowered his head. "There is no plan B. If he catches my daughter, that is the end. The end of all of us. The end of humanity." he was talking so seriously and after his words, everyone remained in silence. Jon sighed and looked around. Everyone was staring at him, he saw there were many questions in them, but... they were afraid to ask any more questions.
