Jaime fights through the crowds during Cersie's trial, the walk of shame but he cannot do anything. He did try to do everything he could to get the woman out of that prison but he couldn't.

But once Cersei enter the palace he was the first one to comfort her. Cersei cries on Jaime's shoulder while Qyburn rushes her with a blanket to cover her body.

"I will kill them all" Jaime muttered to her while she cries in his embrace.

"Your Grace. It’s good to have you back. Come. We’ll take you inside. I need to have a look at those feet." Qyburn said while looking at Cersei's bloody feet.

Then two giant footsteps can be heard. "May I have the honor of presenting the newest member of the Kingsguard," Qyburn said looking at the man.

Even Jaime was surprised to see this. A hulking man, who is revealed to have a blue face through the eye holes in his helm, walks over to Qyburn and Cersei.

Jaime takes Cersei in his arms and begins to walk while The mountain is behind together with Qyburn guarding them.

"If it pleases Your Grace, he’s taken a holy vow of silence. He has sworn that he will not speak until all his Grace’s enemies are dead, and the evil has been driven from the realm." Qyburn informed.

Aera sits on the rock near the lake while combing the hair of Shireen who was sitting in front of her. There's a bandage on her face while she's holding the stag that Ser Davos gave her.

"Do you think my face would heal?" The girl asked.

"I made sure of that," Aera said while combing the girl's hair. The girl woke up a few hours ago and Aera explained everything that happened and the death of her father.

The girl weeps but Aera stayed with her, even though Catelyn was there. "Dragons are beautiful," Shireen said looking at Luna who was laying near them while Erythra and Galazia sleeping.

"They are, indeed. They are my children and I love them" Aera said while looking at her dragons.

"I like Bart. He seems to love fish" Shireen said making Aera chuckles. They both looked at Bart who was eating some fish on the side.

"Bart will protect you, Shireen. I promise you that." Aera said and Shireen nodded.

"I read everything about the Targaryen history, every single one of them. They are all beautiful stories and poetic but in the end, everything ended when my Uncle Robert Baratheon manage to defeat your Brother Rhaegar." Shireen said.

Aera took a deep breath. "Do you know that you have the blood of Targaryen from your great-grandmother Rhaelle Targaryen," Aera said and Shireen nodded.

" I know, I read a lot of books. How do I call you? " Shireen asked.

" What do you mean? "

" Well you are a princess but father said I'm also a princess. Should I call you Princess Aerasanne? " Shireen asked, she's a smart little girl.

Aera chuckles." I know some words, I prefer if you call me Ate (Ah-Te) Aera" Aera said making the girl turn to her.

" Ate? "

" It means big sister. " Aera while smiling at the girl. Shireen smiles and nodded.

" Ate Aera."

He was fighting the army of Stannis Baratheon and he won but when he came back Myranda was dead.

He commands them to feed her body to the Hounds.

At the Castle Black. The death of Jon Snow has already happened and now Ser Davos and the others who are loyal to Jon Snow are protecting his body from Alliser Thorne that is now trying to break in.

The Night’s Watchman lifts and large hammer and walks over to the door. He begins slamming the hammer against the door repeatedly.

Ghost begins to growl and bark. Davos and company ready themselves for battle. After several swings, the Night’s Watchman with the hammer breaks a hole in the door. Grenn and Pyp were also inside ready to fight.

A loud thudding can be heard somewhere behind Alliser and company. They turn to see what the noise is. The thudding is coming from one of the courtyard’s main gates.

Wun breaks down the gate and the Wildlings led by Tormund and Edd rush into the courtyard. The Night’s Watch loyal to Alliser Thorne has bows drawn at the Wildlings but does not fire. They back up slowly.

A Night’s Watchman on a balcony shoots Wun wun in the shoulder with a crossbow bolt. Wun turns to face the man, then grabs him by the legs, slams him against a wall, and tosses his body to the ground in front of Alliser Thorne. The Night’s Watch members allied to Alliser thorne begin dropping their weaponry. Tormund and Edd approach Alliser Thorne, swords drawn.

Then they took notice of a screeching sound, it was a dragon making them turn on where it is. There's no dragon solely a girl on top of the Castle Black wall. Her silver hair that glides with the winds is glistening, and she's gazing right at them.

Tormund cannot see her face clearly but the screeching sounds really familiar to him. Slowly the light of the moon shone on her face for them to catch a glimpse of.

"Aera" Tormund whispered looking at the girl.

"Aerasanne!" Wun wun and Dongo yelled while looking at the girl. Alliser looked at her, he knows that name.

Ser Davos who was on the balcony looked at her in wonder. Aera then vanishes from where she sat then appears rearward to Alliser.

"Where is he?" Aera asked making everyone turn to her. For the first time, they see the true features of Aerasanne Targaryen. The most beautiful girl they had ever seen, with Silver hair and violet eyes.

Alliser cannot believe it.

"This man killed him! They shove their knives on the Lord commander's heart." Edd angrily let out.

Aera strolls towards Olly." Olly, what have you done? " Aera asked looking at the boy.

Olly recognize her right away even with changes of hair and eyes." You were there! You saw them killed and butcher my family! You fought them! " Olly scream while Aera stared at the boy.

Aera strokes his face." Then why kill the man who took you? " Aera asked. Aera then turned to Alliser, he's a Targaryen loyalist but right now he's a man of the night watch.

" You're Princess Aerasanne Targaryen! Your brother is Prince Rhaegar Targaryen." Alliser said making most of them whisper while looking at the girl.

" You're loyal to my family, but you are now a crow," Aera said walking away from the man to look for Jon's body.

"Throw them into the cells where they belong." It was Grenn who yelled while Ser Davos follows Aera to Jon's body.

Tormund and the others enter the room where Jon is. Aera stared at the body that is turning blue, she strokes his face.

"Took a lot of knives. I’ll have my men get the wood for a fire. Bodies to burn." Tormund said.

"No..." Aera said making everyone look at her. Aera turned to See Davos who was staring at the girl, he had never seen anyone that majestic. "The Red Lady is here, isn't she?" Aera asked and the man nods.

"Can you summon her for me?" Aera asked and the man nodded. Ser Davos leaves together with the other Brothers.

Leaving Tormund and Her alone. "Can you do something for him?" The man asked. A part of him considers this girl in front of her a goddess for what she can do.

"Not me, but I'll be here," Aera said. The Princess looks up at the man who's been staring at her. "What?" Aera asked.

"You look like a goddess, a goddess who keeps appearing out of nowhere... I'm not gonna be surprised if I accidentally fling my axe at you when you appear out of nowhere." Tormund grunted trying to lighten up the mood.

Aera chuckles. "Goddess... They said that Targaryen is closer to gods than men. Maybe I'm in between." Aera said.

Tormund vacates the moment Melisandre enters the room, she was surprised to see the girl inside.

Ser Davos was still there.

"You're a Targaryen." The woman said looking at Aera and Aerasanne nodded.

" I am many things, Melisandre. But there's nothing I could do for him but you can" Aera said looking at Jon. She hated the woman but she can save the man.

Melisandre looked at Jon. "No... There are some with his power." She begun.

"So you could save him?" Ser Davos asked.

" I met a man who came back from the dead, but the priest who did it -- It shouldn’t have been possible." Melisandre shakes her head.

" It is possible," Aera said looking at the woman.

" Not for me! "

" Not for you? I saw you drink poison that should’ve killed you. I saw you give birth to a demon made of shadows." The man said trying to convince the woman.

Melisandre looked at Aerasanne." She's more powerful than I am, more than I ever could... Why don't do it? " Melisandre looking at Aerasanne.

Aerasanne didn't move." Everyone has their own limits, I cannot bring back life but you can... You have a gift, that I don't. Make your mistakes right by helping him, do it" Aera mumbled.

Then the woman did her Ritual while the others watch. Aerasanne was there standing beside Tormund who was nervous, they wanted the man who save them to be alive.

But Melisandre shakes her head then everyone leaves. But Aerasanne didn't because she knows Melisandre succeeded.

Aera walks towards the body of Jon, she grabs his hand waiting for him to return. Then Jon Snow's eyes snap open and he gasps for breath.

Aera hurriedly calms him down. "Jon... Breath" Aera said looking at the man and making him veer toward her.

"They stabbed me. Olly...he put a knife in my heart. I shouldn’t be here." Jon said trembling while Aera is holding his hand. Then Ser Davos came in shock. He hurriedly put his cloak on the man.

Jon didn't let go of Aera's hand, his still trembling. Melisandre then comes into the room and stares at Jon in astonishment.

"Lady Melisandre brought you back" Ser Davos informed. Melisandre kneels in front of Jon making Aera scoot to the side but Jon didn't let go of her hands.

" Afterwards, after they stabbed you after you died, where did you go? What did you see?" Melisandre asked.

"Nothing. There was nothing at all."  Jon response.

" The Lord let you come back for a reason. Stannis was not the prince who was promised, but someone has to be." Melisandre muttered.

" The Prince who was promised? Are you sure of your own knowledge? " Aera asked looking straightly at Melisandre.

Melisandre turned to her." Do you know who is he? " The woman asked.

" Who said about he? Everyone is always looking for him but never turned their eyes on her..." Aera uttered darting at the woman who was surprised. "People often misleads by their own beliefs," Aera summed up.

" Could you give us a moment? " Ser Davos asked the two women who nodded. Melisandre exits and Aerasanne was about to when she couldn't because Jon is holding her hand.

He didn't let go. He looked up at her, he now see clearly the true appearance of Aerasanne Targaryen... She indeed looks like a goddess. Aera smiles at him. "I'll be outside," Aera told making the man let go of her.

Aera exits where the wildings are waiting. Aera walks towards Dongo and Wun Wun. Everyone stared at her while she walks, it was like seeing a goddess come from heaven who walks among them.

"Hey there, big guy... Did you miss me?" Aera said looking up at Dongo and Wun Wun. Both of the Giants seated down for the Princess to see them clearly.

They speak the language that Aera cannot understand but she just nodded because based on their body language they did miss her. "I didn't understand but I take that as a yes," Aera said smiling at the two.

Aera who's waiting for Jon taught the two Giants how to do a fist bump making Tormund walks towards her.

"You seem very close to them," Tormund said and Aera nodded.

"Fist Bump," Aera said turning to Tormund who gave her a confused stare. Aera taught the man to do the famous fist bump... "Whenever you do something victorious or any triumph with your friend, you do a fist bump" Aera explained. "It's either a small achievement or a big achievement," Aera counted and the man nodded in amusement.

"Now fist bump," Aera said and Tormund did what she told him. Aera chuckles at how the man is so amused by what she taught.

Grenn, Pyp, and Edd are on the side looking at the two.

"I'm sure she's a goddess," Pyp said looking at the girl.

"You haven't seen her ride a dragon, we did," Grenn spoke out and Edd nodded.

"What?" Pyp asked dumbfounded.

The Aera proceeds to teach Tormund and the two Giants how to play Rock, Paper, and Scissor. Tormund keeps on losing.

Then they heard a noise making them turn in that direction. Jon snow emerges on the balcony, supported by Davos. He stares out at the crowd, then walks down the steps with the help of Davos and begins walking through the crowd. The men on either side part to let him pass. Tormund walks up the middle to confront Jon snow.

Aera stayed behind and gazed at them. "They think you’re some kind of god. The man who returned from the dead."

"I'm not a god" Jon replied.

"I know that" Tormund retorts. Edd, Grenn, and Pyp then hug Jon Snow after being alive again but Jon's eyes glid to Aera who's smiling at him while her Silver hair is gliding with the winds.

The first person he saw after waking up from the dead. Jon then steps forward to her and behind her are the giants.

"Greetings, Lord Commander." Aera greets with a bit of courtesy. Jon Smiles at the girl's action when he should be the one doing that.

"So this is who you really are, it's good to know you," Jon said and Aera smiles.

"I'm planning to take Great-Uncle Aemon with me," Aera notified and Jon understand.

"He never leaves his room, I don't know if his safe to travel. " Jon informed, Maester Aemon is still gradually recovering after Aera provided him with her few lifespans so he will be asleep for a few days for his body to get used to the newly found energy.

Tormund then storm in making Aera roll her eyes and Jon sighed." This man come back from the dead! Please... Let's not have a boring conversation!"Tormund let out.
