[QARTH, COUNCIL OF THE THIRTEEN]
[DAENERYS appears before the Thirteen to plead for her dragon's return.]
"I did not leave the comfort of my home to come to yours and be called a thief."
"No one is calling you a thief. Who is she to accuse us?"
'Please, they're my children. I'm begging you."
"Begging us? It wasn't very long ago you were threatening us."
"This is why you do not go threatening everyone around you and think yourself better. Bigger men have fallen from that sort of pride" Olenna stated calmly. By her definition of calm, her tone was sharp and cutting.
Daenerys lowered her head, soaking in the words of the woman. She had more to do than just go in by force.
"Without me, the dragons will die."
"You overestimate yourself, girl. There have been wild dragons before, dragons that came from nowhere and lived longer than tamed ones" Olenna cut in again.
"I didn't know that" Daenerys muttered.
"It will be for the best. Your dragons will bring the world nothing but death and misery, my dear. If I knew where they were, I would not tell you."
"You are cruel, my friend. The Mother of Dragons is on the right. She must be reunited with her babies. I will help you, Khaleesi."
"He's the thief" Bran muttered.
"How?"
"I will take you to the House of the Undying where I have put them."
"I knew it!" the Stark boy grinned.
"When I learned you were coming to our city, I made an arrangement with the King of Qarth. He procured them for me."
"But there is no King of Qarth."
"There is now. That was the other half of the arrangement."
[XARO stands.]
"And there it stands, the reason he was willing to support you" Oberyn clicked his tongue. "Always the ones that come from nothing and lust for more."
"You would keep your gates and your minds closed to everything outside your walls, but Qarth cannot remain the greatest city that ever was if it refuses to change. I will open Qarth to the world as I have forced it to open itself to me."
[PYAT PREE joins XARO's side.]
"Your ambition is an inspiration. But like all upstarts, you overreach. Three dragons the size of cats and an alliance with a charlatan do not make you a king."
"An upstart and a charlatan? Empires have been built by less. Those on the margins often come to control the centre, and those in the centre make room for them, willingly or otherwise."
"The Mother of Dragons will be with her babies. She will give them her love and they will thrive by her side, forever."
"Why does it sound like he wants me as well?" Daenerys asked a tremble in her voice.
"Targaryen blood has magic in it. No doubt he wishes to siphon it from you for whatever he plans on doing with the dragons" Elia explained, tone cold and unhappy. It was obvious she was not liking this.
[PYAT PREE's doppelgangers slit the throats of the other members of the Thirteen, simultaneously. DAENERYS is horrified and flees. She encounters another PYAT PREE clone. KOVARRO comes to her side to defend her, but JORAH stabs PYAT PREE from behind first. JORAH removes his sword and PYATT PREE collapses into a pile of empty clothes, an illusion. Another clone appears.]
"A mother should be with her children. Where will you run to, Daenerys Stormborn? Your dragons wait for you in the House of the Undying. Come see them."
"I survived" Daenerys let out a shaky breath.
"And now you know where your dragons are so that's where you will go" Rhaegar said
"Do you really think I would go to a place where there are Warlocks waiting for me" Daenerys asked
"It's because you hatched them Daenerys, so your love for them is more than enough for you to take a risk like that. Moreover the you on the screen only have the dragons whome you can call your family and I know you enough that you will not leave them" Rhaegar said with small smile.
Daenerys Targaryen felt a little appreciated by her brother and smiled back and nodded her head in understanding.
The others also noted the interaction between the two Targaryen brothers and sisters and saw how Rhaegar Targaryen was trying to mend the relationship with his sister.
[RIVERLANDS, THE CAMP]
[JAIME is being led in chains by a mounted soldier, back into camp. The other soldiers assault him verbally. They jostle at one another in an attempt to make the assault physical, but his captors keep the other men away.]
"So much for escaping" Brandon the Elder snorted. "Became a Kinslayer for nothing!"
Jaime clicked his tongue, more bothered his plans were foiled than being berated.
[They proceed further into the camp, but the angry soldiers eventually overpower JAIME's protectors. One man clubs him over the head and JAIME falls. The crowd gathers around to further abuse him. JAIME lies in pain. The horseman rides away, leaving JAIME in the hands of his captors, with a thick crowd behind him. They bring JAIME to his feet. He walks a few paces and then falls to his knees under the pressure of the crowd.]
"You need to handle the situation quickly before something stupid ends up happening" Brandon the Elder stated harshly.
"I probably am" Robb defended his future self, though he didn't know where he was."
[RICKARD KARSTARK swiftly approaches the crowd and draws his sword.]
"Get back! I want his head! Any man who stands between a father and his vengeance asks for death."
"Where the fuck are the guards?!" Ned demanded. The fact that he cursed so violently had his family and Robert stare at him in shock.
[CATELYN, BRIENNE, and JACKS enter.]
"Lord Karstark, this man is our prisoner."
"This monster killed my son."
"And crippled mine. He will answer for his crimes, I promise you, but not here."
"I will have his head. And if you try and stop me-"
"You will strike me down? Have you forgotten me, Ser? I am the widow of your liege, Lord Eddard Stark. I am the mother of your king!"
"And where is our king now?"
"You know very well. He has gone to the Crag to accept the surrender."
"Oh... I'm not getting there" Robb muttered.
"Aye, gone to the Crag, but not to negotiate. He took that foreign bitch with him."
"Taking her along was a bad idea it seems" Varys noted with a small hum.
"They don't trust him after he's lost his castle. They don't know what he took her for" Rhaegar grunted.
Varys eyed the deceased Prince critically but said nothing.
[BRIENNE starts to draw her sword.]
"Threatening my lady is an act of treason."
"Treason? How can it be treason to kill Lannisters?"
"I understand your grief, my lord, better than most, I understand it. But in the name of my son, the King in the North, stand down."
"When your son returns, I will demand this murderer's head."
"Wise men do not make demands of kings."
"You're doing nothing to calm him, Cat" Ned muttered, still on edge.
"I am telling him as things stand" Catelyn countered.
"Fathers who love their sons do. I will have his head."
[RICKARD KARSTARK exits.]
'Thank you for fighting on my behalf, Lady Stark. I would have come to your defence, but-"
"Take him to the stockades. Bind him with every chain you can find!"
"You've become a real she-wolf in your later years. There's not much fish left in you."
"She is trying to help you" Tyrion sighed.
"Honour binds her to help me" Jaime shrugs.
