Chapter Twenty Nine

Daenerys sat on her place at the Pyramid while looking at Ser Jorah and Tyrion Lannister while Sansa was on her side together with Ser Barristan Selmy and Ser Sandor.

"Sandro Clegane, The Hound. Your face is healed... How is that possible? How did you get here?" Tyrion Lannister asked looking at the man.

Daenerys turned to Ser Sandor who didn't say anything. "My sister brought him and he swear to protect and guard me," Daenerys spoke out. "And Lady Sansa too," Daenerys said turning to Sansa.

"Ah... Of course, Princess Aerasanne. The Mysterious girl who captured my brother's heart, no one foresaw it." Tyrion remarked making everyone look at him, everyone is surprised except Daenerys who knows everything because Aera told her everything.

"You've met her, she told me a lot of things about you. The half-man who wins the battle against Stannis Baratheon but your father came." Daenerys informed surprising the man. He didn't know that Aera knows about that. "So I should welcome you into my service?" Daenerys asked.

"Into your service? Your Grace, we have only just met. It’s too soon to know if you deserve my service." Tyrion said.

Daenerys raised her eyebrow at the man. "If you’d rather return to the fighting pits just say the word."

They now began to talk about devotion and politics on how to rule and conquer the 7 kingdoms. Daenerys turned to Ser Jorah.

Daenerys stands up, she trusted the man but he broke it." I trusted you, more than anyone. I trust you with my life and Aerasanne's life. You betrayed me, betrayed her, but you know what my sister told me... To give you a chance. " Daenerys said making the man look up at her. " She told me that no one will be loyal to us the same way you do, I will give you this opportunity because my sister told me both of you... Both of you will be my advisor." Daenerys proclaims while looking at them.

Daenerys turned to Sansa.

Even though Daenerys accept Ser Jorah once again the man still decided to prove his worth by joining the Fighting Pits because of Greyscale that slowly consuming his body.

He didn't even try to get close to Daenerys or any of them.

He goes back to the Fighting Pits to fight and Daenerys let him, even though at first she hesitated.

Daenerys talked to Tyrion after Sansa leave to rest together with Irri.

Aerasanne is on the other side of the world doing god knows what, she's trailing Jon Snow who's having his suicide mission on going to Hardhome. Grenn and Edd are with him while Pyp and Sam stayed at Castle Black.

Aera was there the whole time, just watching without anyone seeing her. Aera couldn't say she was surprised when Tormund beat the crapt out of Lord of Bones.

Jon Snow looked around knowing that Aera is around.

Aera listen as Jon Snow explained to anyone about what was going to happen if they didn't work together, everyone is going to die.

"I knew Mance Rayder. He never wanted a war with the Night’s Watch, he wanted a new life for his people. For you. We’re prepared to give you that new life." Jon stated looking at the wildings.

" If?" Karsi asked.

"If you swear you join us when the real war begins," Jon said looking straightly at the woman.

"Where is Mance?" Laboda asked.

Unknown to them Aera is already in front of Wun Wun, she's looking for Dongo but she finds out that the other Giant is outside.

"Hello big guy, remember me?" Aera whispered while Wun Wun stared at her, Aera is really fond of them.

"He's dead" Jon responded.

"How?" Laboda asked.

"I killed him," Aera said without looking at anyone, she was just staring at Wun Wun... Caressing enormous hands.

Everyone turned to her surprise, no one had seen her enter the place.

"How did she... Is she even ordinary?" Tormund asked Jon who looks so done with Aera, she just casually said she killed their leader.

Everyone was already rioting hearing that the masked girl killed their leader but Aera didn't budge she was just having fun with Wun Wun.

Laboda brandishes his axe hearing what the girl said, ready to kill the girl but Tormund interferes.

" None of you saw Mance die! I did. The Southern King who broke our army, Stannis, wanted to burn him alive to send him a message." Tormund paused and turned to Aera who veered at them. "What she did is mercy, I didn't know how she did it but Mance knew!" Tormund added.

"Her name is Aera, she's been helping us for a long time now. Mance asked her to kill him, giving her permission to do so. He wanted to be killed by someone powerful, not just a King who burns people alive!" Jon retaliated.

" What it did took courage, and that’s what we need today: the courage to make peace with men we’ve been fighting for generations," Tormund summed up. Aera just scanned them.

"I lost my father, my uncle, and 2 brothers fighting the damn crows," Karsi said.

" I’m not asking you to forget your dead. I’ll never forget mine. I lost many brothers the night that Mance attacked the wall. But I’m asking you to think about your children now. They’ll never have children of their own if we don’t band together. The Long Night is coming and the dead come with it. No clan can stop them. The free folk can’t stop them. The Night’s Watch can’t stop them. And all the southern kings can’t stop them. Only together, all of us, and even then it might not be enough, but at least then we’ll give the fuckers a fight." Jon's declared.

"Kings..." Area whispered, none of the Kings manage to defeat them only a Queen. A Queen who gave everything for them yet got every people she cherish to die.

People have begun to consider his offer, fighting the white walkers. Aera stared at Jon, the man knows how to convince people.

"You vouch for this man, Tormund?" Karsi asked.

" He’s prettier than both my daughters, but he knows how to fight. He’s young, but he knows how to lead. He didn’t have to come to Hardhome. He came because he needs us. And we need him. Aside from that, this girl is his friend, she manage to beat us without killing us" Tormund said pointing to Aerasanne who gives him a deadpan look.

" Dude, really?" She snorted at the man, Tormund just made everyone's attention turn to her.

"I’ll never trust a man in black. But I trust you, Tormund. If you say this is the way, we’re with you." Karsi said and Tormund nodded.

" You!" Lobado suddenly called. He pointed at Aera who was sitting beside Wun Wun. " Why did Mance choose to die by your hands!?" The man said he was about to charge at her but Wun Wun hissed at the man.

Aera calms the Giant. She stands up and took a deep breath while looking at this man.

"She killed Mance with the wave of her hand, before burning his body," Jon said informing them.

"What?" Karsi asked. "Who are you really and why Wun Wun wanted to protect you?" Karsi asked.

"I'm not part of the Night's Watch... Only men go there." Aera paused and then walk near the fire. She removes her gloves and places her hand on the fire where everyone gasps, even Jon step towards her but raises her hand, unburnt.

"Your hand," Karsi said in surprise. Aera turned to Jon, she stands beside him.

"Taking you a long time to know who I am, I'll just introduce myself," Aera whispered to the man then darted to the wildings. "I'm Aera... Aerasanne Targaryen. My ancestors ruled over the Seven Kingdoms for hundreds of years with dragons." Aera introduces herself.

Jon was surprised hearing this, he turned to the girl in surprise. Everyone gossiped after hearing this.

" Aerasanne" Wun Wun said. Karsi manages to understand what the Giant means.

" You're the girl who made the Dongo and Wun Wun withdrawal, you told them that the blacks are not the enemy. " Karsi said.

Aera turned to Wun Wun, she doesn't have any Idea what Karsi said, all she did during that day was to make sure that the two Giants manage to leave without dying.

"I don't care who you are or what you are... Keep that new life you want to give us. Keep your glass, King Crow. Soon as you get on his ships they’re gonna slit your throats and dump your bodies to the bottom of the Shivering Sea. That’s our enemy. That has always been our enemy." Labado knows how to ruin a moment.

Aera just gaped at him. Aera watched the man leaves, while Aera just stared at him. Laboda glance one more time at her.

"Targaryen... Didn't think of that" Jon muttered and Aera chuckles.

"Maester Aemon is my Great-Uncle he told me you love to sulk around," Aera notified making the man grimace.

" I fucking hate Thenns," Karsi muttered making the three turn to her. Tormund nods.

" Is it true, Jon Snow... Is prettier than your daughters? " Aera asked while trying to pick on Jon.

Tormund turned to Jon and nodded. " He is! Look at him, isn't that a beauty!" Tormund exclaims and Aera nodded." Hey! I didn't see you on the ship, how did you get here? " Tormund asked.

" What do you mean? I'm always here. " Aera asked, pretending clueless. She then veered to Wun Wun." Come Wun, let's get Dongo and find your way to the ship. " Aera told and got the giant out of there.

" Are all Targaryen like that? " Tormund asked.

" Not that I know off, half of them turned mad, you know her father the mad king who burns people. " Jon said and Tormund didn't look surprised.

" She's a Princess. I won't say not killing any of us when she had the chance is mercy, well, it's... Warning. That girl manage to beat even Styr, and she didn't kill any of us! " The man exclaims and Jon nodded.
_

They begin leading the wildings to the boat while Aera is talking to Dongo and Wun Wun, a lot of wildings are glancing at her.

She's a beauty even with a mask.

Aera's smile disappear when she heard the dogs barking, she almost forgot about the wildings getting ambushed. She hurriedly told the two Giants to head for the boats and they both did.

Aera runs towards Jon. "Get many people as you can to the boats! Now!" Aera mandated and Jon nodded.

Both Jon and Tormund help them. Aera looked up, to search for her dragons.

"It's now or never..." Aera whispered she will save many people as she can. Aera turned to Jon and Tormund and the other Night watch. "Jon! I'm gonna burn those fuckers made sure you get a lot of these people away!" Aera announced.

"How are you going to do that!?" Tormund asked.

Aera looks up." LUNA! ERYTHRA! GALAZIA! " Aera shouted making everyone look at her, her voice echoing. Then they heard screeching sounds making everyone look up.

Then a silver-white dragon emerges from the white sky, scaring everyone. It landed in front of Aera, the Princess beams while patting the dragon's head. Then two more dragons emerge from the sky, Dark Blue and Red.

Aera turned to Jon who was surprised. Everyone was surprised." What? is the first time seeing dragons? " Aera retorts. She hurriedly mounts the back of Luna, her largest dragon.

" Get everyone away from here! I'm gonna burn some skeleton! "Aera yelled at the man who was still dumbfounded." FOR FUCK SAKE! TORMUND! JON! MOVE! " Aera yelled, the two goes back to their senses and began to assist people on the boat.

Aera looks up. "Fly"

The Dragons began to stretch their wings and start lifting from the ground, slowly and steadily, making their wings didn't hit anyone.

Then once the dragon is high enough to speed, Aera charges at the walkers. "DRACARYS!" Aera screamed and the three dragons start spitting fire through their mouths.

They start to burn every wight she could see, she knows it cannot kill white walkers but it can help either way. Everyone was still stunned seeing the Lady ride a dragon and burn their enemies.

"THAT RIGHT THERE IS A MAD WOMAN!" Tormund yelled while cheering at the girl. Jon smiles.

Jon, Tormund, Karsi, and the Night’s Watch brothers charge from the shore to the gate. The wights have knocked a hole into the gate big enough to crawl out of. One breakthrough tears someone apart, and then is taken down. A group of wights storm through the same hole. Cut to an overhead that shows just how many wights are behind the gate.

Jon arrives at the gate. He pins a wight to the gate with Longclaw as Tormund and Karsi kill the wights that have already gotten through. The archers take out the wight Jon pinned to the gate, and then the men cover the hole the wights had been escaping from with a sled.
Fighting continues. A group of wights tears into a Crow. Loboda and Karsi continue to kill the wights. Jon looks up through the mist and sees 4 White Walkers on horseback on the top of the cliff.

Aera continue to burn everyone wight she saw, then in the distance, she saw them... The white walkers with the Night King.

The Night King stared at her while she stared back, a smirk forming on Aera's face. The Night King was holding a spear, Aera then recalls what he was going to do to Viserion... Enraging her. The Night King throws the spear in her direction and Aera uses her powers to catch it, she used her energy to throw the spear back into that man's head, she knows he will not die but that gives her joy.

The impact of sending the spear back made a shockwave that blows the area, making the people on the horse get flown away.

Jon saw everything that unfold. Jon and Loboda charge towards the cabin. He cuts a wight in half then kills another. The giant breaks through a wall in the cabin as the cabin starts to go down in flames. He shakes the wights off of his back, snapping some in half and stomping others into pieces. Jon and Loboda storm the cabin.

The entire cabin is on fire. A White Walker wielding a staff walks towards them through the fire. Loboda walks towards the White Walker as Jon scrambles towards the Dragonglass. Loboda misses his axe twice, getting it caught in the wall. He pulls it out to parry in time, but Walker’s spear shatters his axe. The Walker plunges his spear through Loboda's stomach.

Jon picks up Longclaw just in time to match the White Walker, and to both of their surprise, Longclaw stops Walker’s spear. The Walker deflects one blow from Jon, but then he swings and shatters the Walker into pieces.

Aera made sure a lot of them went back to the boats, she saw Jon Snow and the others running back to the boats, and she also saw Dongo and Wun Wun safe.

Aera burn most of them, but a lot of wildings died. Aera who's on her dragons looks at Jon Snow who's on the boat slowly sailing away from the shore. He looks up to see three dragons and Aera, they both turned to the shore... Slowly, a figure walks to the end of the dock.

The Night King.

The Night’s King turns his head to the carnage at the edge of the shore and then looks back to Jon. He slowly starts raising his arms. The dead wildlings twitch, then open their eyes to reveal blue. Karsii comes back to life, blue-eyed. They all start standing up, joining the army of the dead, and staring at Jon.

The Night King, look up to Aera. Luna who's carrying Aera on her back begins to leap away... Flying up above the clouds with the other two dragons.
