In Dragonstone, the throne room. Melisandre is standing alone in the throne room. Daenerys, Daemion and Aeryn enter, accompanied by Daenora, Aellor, Tyrion, Varys, Missandi, and Gey worm. They approach Melisandre.

Daenora and Aelor Targaryen are squires for today.

Melisandre says "Dārys aeryn. Princes se princesses. Prince daenerys, nyke istan nykeā buzdari istin, sindita se liortan, qilontan se ozbārtan. Ziry iksos nykeā rigle naejot rhaenagon se pryjatys hen belma."
Translate: King Aeryn. Princes and Princesses. Princess Daenerys, I was a slave once, bought and sold, scourged and branded. It is an honor to meet the Breaker of Chains.

Daenerys smiles "Se mele priests dohaertan maghagon peace naejot meereen." Daenerys nods at her uncles.

Translate: The Red Priests helped bring peace to Meereen.

Aeryn smiles "Ao issi olvie welcome kesīr. Skoros iksos aōha brōzi?"

Translate: You are very welcome here. What is your name?

Melisandre says "Nyke called Melisandre."
Translate: I am called Melisandre.

Varys says "She once served another who wanted the Iron Throne. It didn't end well for Stannis Baratheon, did it?"

Melisandre says "No, it didn't."

Daemion says "You chose an auspicious day to arrive at Dragonstone" mocks Daenerys "Khalise've just decided to pardon those who served the wrong king."

Daenerys turns to Varys who bows his head to her. Daenerys turns back to Melisandre "The Lord of Light doesn't have many followers in Westeros, does he?"

Melisandre says "Not yet. But even those who don't worship the Lord can serve his cause."

Daenerys asks "What does your Lord expect from me?

Melisandre says "Se bōsa bantis iksos māzis. Mērī se prince qilōni istan promised kostagon maghagon se dawn."
Translate: The Long Night is coming. Only the prince who was promised can bring the dawn.

Aeryn says "The prince who was promised will bring the dawn."

Daenerys says "I'm afraid I'm not a prince"

Missandei says "Your Grace, forgive me, but your translation is not quite accurate. That noun has no gender in High Valyrian, so the proper translation for that prophecy would be the prince or princess who was promised will bring the dawn."

Aeryn says "You are quite right" 

Tyrion says "Doesn't really roll off the tongue, does it?"

Daenerys says "No, but I like it better" 

Daemion turns to Melisandre "And you believe this prophecy refers to her?"

Melisandre says "Prophecies are dangerous things" to Daenerys "I believe you have a role to play, as does another. The King in the North, Jon Snow."

Aeryn looks at Melisandre with a worried look.

Tyrion says "Jon Snow? Lyanna's brother? Ned Stark's bastard?"

Daenerys asks "You know him?"

Tyrion says "I traveled with him to the Wall when he joined the Night's Watch. his sister is my brother's wife"

Varys says "And why do you think the Lord of Light singled out this Jon Snow aside from the visions you've seen in the flames, that is?

Melisandre says "As Lord Commander of the Night's Watch he allowed the Wildlings south of the Wall to protect them from great danger. As King in the North he has united those Wildlings with the northern houses so together they may face their common enemy."
