On the ground lies Daario's body, beside him is a furious Daenerys drying her tears, the queen shouts the name of her favorite dragon, rides on it, "Come on Drogon, we must still win this battle", the dragon roars and taking flight with the queen on her back. It flies alongside the other dragons, which faces the last ice giants, Missandria along with Gray Worm support him, they attack with great force and relentlessly the frozen moles, throwing flare after flare, and using their claws and fangs to destroy bodies at close range. "Drogon attacks, you already have too much advantage" In another area of ​​the field, Arya and Gendry meet with the Valley Knights, Robin Arryn fights against some specters, Arya recognizes his cousin and gives him support, "Robin has grown a lot, I remember when you were a useless person incapable of holding a wooden sword, "Arya jokes as she spears her daggers, the Lord of the Valley only responds" life becomes hard when you win a castle, I had a great master and now he is dead you have not changed at all cousin, you are still the antithesis of a lady of noble birth, "Gendry together with them points out," then there will be time for hugs and family reunions, focus on the enemy, we have not yet won this war, and the enemy fights more fiercely. " On her way south, heading to the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, the White Lady orders the Night King to attack some settlements and smaller towns, which are buried under a thick layer of ice as hard as steel, these attacks They are targeting new soldiers for their army, it only pleases them to watch the despair of mortals upon seeing the immense ice dragon in the air, since Balerion the Black Terror, nothing shadowed the towns like the northern beast does. They fly next to the ruins of Harrenhal, "recognize this place my Night King, here your parents saw each other for the first time, here all the chaos that ended up giving the crown to my brother began, perhaps, his love was also planned by him, perhaps your love for the queen of dragons was not a coincidence, my brother could manipulate every detail in the life of his pieces, in his search for power. " The Night King does not react to these words, he continues to address his beast on his way south. On the battlefield in the Rivers lands, the last specter falls, being assassinated by Meera Reed, heir to the Gray Waters, raising her knife in victory after seeing that the enemy has been defeated around her; nearby, Arya spears the last ice spider with her spear, knocking down her rider, a white walker, who is killed by Gendry and his Dragonglass ax, pulverizing his body with a slash. Seeing that they have finished with this enemy, both warriors celebrate with a kiss, "that was simpler than I thought," exclaimed the young northerner, at which Lord Baratheon smiled when seeing his carefree attitude. Drogon and Missandria cut the last Ice Giant in two with their jaws, then finish off with a sea of ​​dragon fire, Drogon roars victoriously after this, a roar that would be heard throughout the Valley, and would be followed by the roars of their brothers and the shout of victory of the soldiers of the Westeros army, the battle is over, the Seven Kingdoms managed to momentarily stop the army of death, but at a great cost, they lost half of their men, all their catapults and a third of its scorpions, along with a good part of the Valyrio fire barrels. Then, from the battle, survivors will be able to group the bodies of the fallen, the commanders in the field will ask Daenerys and Gendry to allow funeral piles to be made to burn the bodies, "the fallen soldiers deserve a dignified ceremony, they have given their lives for the future of the Seven Kingdoms, but if we build funeral pyres, it will take us at least half a day, the enemy is already almost a quarter of a day ahead of us, they are heading south, we know their objective, they want to create a new army with the King's Landing population, "notes Queen Daenerys. "Your majesty, let's leave the bodies out in the open, who knows for how many days, the best destruction, to be a disgraceful fate," says Gendry, Arya interrupts them, "we still have some barrels of Valyrian fire, if we scatter them in the field, the flames would end up consuming all the bodies, it is the only alternative under our circumstances. " Daenerys agrees and orders them to take some barrels of Valyrian fire, but before doing so, collect everything, and listen for the troops to leave. After a few hours, when they are at a safe distance, and having scattered some barrels of Valyrian fire, Queen Daenerys along with Gray Worm, Drogon and other dragons, light the bodies in the field with the dragon flare, creating the largest campfire seen since the War on the Wall against Mance Rayder and the free people, "that the Seven Gods grant them rest in the afterlife, and the reward for their valiant dedication to the future of the kingdoms" utters Queen Daenerys as a sign of respect, to then rejoin the surviving army. South, The White Lady and the Night King have several hours of advantage over the Westeros army, confident they fly to the capital, they think that the civilian population is unprotected or with a very poor army to defend it. The Night King notices that his beast is annoyed as if something or someone in the south stole his tranquility, this attitude had already been seen from the mount to his dragon for the first time, but that the more they fly south, the more restless feel your critique creature. The White Lady realizes this, "Your beast feels his natural rival still in the distance, the clash of both Titans is inevitable, but to defeat it, he will need support, I will give him ten dragons at his service, he will have his own pack from following our orders, "but the conscience of the beast is not the only restless, something in the Night King begins to awaken, but the control of the walker remains in the hands of the Corpse Queen. Daenerys meets Gendry, Arya and Gray Worm, they must reach the White Lady as soon as possible, it is not possible to wait for the soldiers for a cake; Gray Worm intervenes, "My queen, our only option is to fly your dragons south, and stop the enemy ourselves, let me accompany you as the rider of Missandria," Daenerys accepts this alternative, "We will fly against them, the soldiers of a Cake will delay us, they will return to each of their settlements, we cannot wait for them or risk their useless death, the White Lady will attack without mercy this time, she is desperate to form a new army. " Arya interrupts her, noting that she will accompany them, "it is about my brother, that witch controls his mind and his actions, he is innocent in all this destruction and chaos, my duty is to free him from his curse", Queen Daenerys accepts that accompany, he will ride Drogon with the queen, the last to comment is Gendry, who simply says "Jon was my friend and my ally, he was my king in the past and I owe loyalty to his house, that is why he accompanies Arya as the last of the Starks, to ride Drogon if you allow me Queen Daenerys ", Arya smiles when hearing these words, she is thrilled to fight next to Gendry as in the old days, Daenerys responds" your vol is iron, worthy of a Baratheon, he will ride with me on my dragon, but we must leave now ", after these words, they give instructions to the commanders of each division of the army, they must march to their settlements, and then ride the dragons of the Targaryen house and reach the white lady. In the capital, the queen's hand is in her study chatting with Yara, "it is very boring to stay in the capital, while the queen and other lords have fun in El Cuello", the iron woman points out, Maron looks at her with some disbelief, "our mission is to protect the city in the event of an attack by the Raven's Eye, that is why the queen left us behind", answers the queen's hand; "I think he leaves us behind for trying to seduce the queen, although it is probably your fault, that marriage proposal to consolidate the union of the seven kingdoms, would you have a better excuse?", answers Yara in a mocking way; Once the kiss you gave him was excessive, I am surprised that he did not execute you, at least the men have lost their heads, "answers Martell." I'm really not sure that I can face my uncle if you get to attack, his fleet is twice as big as ours, added his beast, which is bigger than the queen's dragons, do you think we can resist without it? Yara points out. and Master Samwell are in the Privy Council Chamber, "necessarily if the Lannisters had not intervened, you would be the Lord of the High Garden, instead of a simple Master and a lord of a lesser settlement," the Coin Counselor points out, The Grand Master replied "Being a master was always my dream, I don't know if you notice it, but the art of war is not my forte, I perform better among books, texts, and parchments", "you're right dear brother-in-law, High Garden it's safer in my hands, well, at least this time I was given a nice wife, who gave me healthy children? Should you spend more time with them? You're his only uncle, "says Bronn, Samwell. He replies that he will travel a season to High Garden to spend time with his sister and his nephews, "I only hope that you respect the marriage with my sister", Samwell emphasized, Bronn smiles recording that since the increase in taxes on brothels, the eldest son in big cities King's Landing, to which Samwell looked down on him as he could not bear his ironic humor. We observe the Law Advisor, Mr. Harys Swyft, look for the Rumor Advisor in his study, when he did not receive an answer when knocking on his door, enter Olyvar's study, which is empty, and on his desk find a small urn with a trace of ashes, a sign that some parchment had recently been burned, when leaving the study, does not realize that it was seen by Yara and Maron, both allies of the queen, suspected of acting Lord Harys, they decide that they should have it under surveillance, ¿ What are you looking for in Mr. Olyvar's study? They wonder, they both entertain themselves in the Rumor Counselor's study, and they look at that urn with ashes. Lord Harys heads to the port, looking for Olyvar, there informs him that the Master of Whispers had taken a barcode bound for Essos the night before, possibly heading to Pentos or Braavos, Lord Harys is upset at that situation, "that bastard escapes like a rat, he plans, to have something to do with that gentleman who wanted to introduce me, I must find out." Upon returning to his study, he meets some castle guards, along with Yara and Prince Maron, "Lord Harys, as the hand of the king and regent of the kingdom on his behalf, put him under arrest on suspicion of conspiracy against the crown along Lord Olyvar, when the queen returns will be judged, she had better use her time in the dungeons to meditate on his defense, the Advisor of impotent laws, accepts the arrest. In the free city of Braavos, the coasts are peaceful, the nobles and merchants register the ports with their bags full of gold, exchanging favors merchants and politicians, thanks to being one of the most active ports on the continent in its Iron Bank, which serves as a lender to princes and kings, this city is the true capital of the Known World, from it the destinies of entire towns are hatched, however, the peace in the port is interrupted, the campaigns run a seem warning that a danger is approaching the merchant city, the watchers observed in the distance a fleet with more than thirty ships all of them with the emblem of House Greyjoy, in front of this fleet is a large ship, the Iron Victory, the flagship of Victarion, our sails are they find themselves adorned with their personal emblem and a large black Kraken lines their bow. On the ship is its captain, Victarion, the King of the Iron Islands, accompanied by Morroco, the red priest at his service, also Olyvar, the former adviser of Rumors of the Seven Kingdoms, and a small boy, about six or seven years old with dark blue-dyed hair and violet eyes. "The faceless man fails his mission, the eggs were not completely destroyed, there will still be ten dragons left alive," Olyvar points out to the red warlock, "the captain will be disappointed, and each time he is disappointed, he only calms his grief by causing some slaughter or feeding his beast with the person who fails him, he is grateful that he chose the first option this time "answers Morroco. Victarion observes the coast and the Titan of Braavos, turns to see Olyvar, Morroco and that blue-haired boy, "my dear men, and young Griff, it's time for the show", after this, he takes off his patch, leaves seeing his black and red-eye, that eye that symbolizes the death of the one who observes, takes the horn of the Kraken and begins to touch it, has called his mythical beast, the one that served his ancestor the Gray King against Nagga, the greatest sea ​​dragons; a shadow the size of a small island etch the waters below Victarion's fleet, the controlled waters stir, the currents move, "Young Griff, you had better watch the Titan of Braavos closely, I'm sure he'll love it." The horrified little boy watches as a gigantic tentacle sells the water and envelops the Titan of Braavos, surrounding it and begins to compress it with enormous force, until it destroys it in several pieces as if it were a very fragile glass statue. Morroco approaches the boy and says, "Surprised ?, he is the king of the Krakens, the son of the drowned god, born of his blood of salt and iron, nothing in the seas can match him, and I am sure he does not have a rival in this world. " The boy runs to Victarion, rebukes him asking what his goals are, which he seeks by attacking free cities, and by kidnapping him in pentos. The Iron Man, bowing his imposing figure, which reminds Robert Baratheon of his best years during the rebellion against the Targaryens, looks into the eyes of the little boy with blue hair and replies "The life of corsair and conqueror will always be more exciting than that of a king or a prince, I am looking for a broader perspective of this world, outside those four walls where I found you, enjoy the view ", after this he continues to touch his horn again, and shouting at his beast to it's time to show up, the beast looks out over the water, that vision resembled the worst nightmares of a sailor. "What is that thing? It cannot be a Kraken, these beasts feed Leviathans and sea dragons, and that creature before them devours any whale with two teeth," the little boy shouts at Victarion, Raven's Eye. answers "I call it the Kraken, but that is only a name given by men, its name is so old that it has already been forgotten, but in our language, it could be called the King of the Seas, a beast older than the great wall from the north, he must have been at least ten thousand years recording the waters of the unknown world, waiting for the day when he achieves his revenge against his legendary rival, and possibly when he does, it brings the end of the age of men. " Daenerys and company watch the destruction caused by the Ice Dragon, entire fields are covered in a thick layer of ice as hard as steel, the queen ordered her dragon to launch a flare into these frozen landscapes, she wants to control a suspicion that overwhelms her from the previous battle, Drogon obeys, throwing a sea of ​​flames to the field, after stopping his attack, they witness something surprising but worrying, the fire barely managed to deform the ice sheet, it did not evaporate as the queen expected, resistant ice to fire, that beast was outside the natural laws, its breath is the coldest in the world, just as the breath of its dragons is the most ardent. Arya points out to the queen that on her travels through the known and unknown world, through the sea of ​​frost and the north of Essos, she remembers hearing of a similar creature, "the natives of those lands speak of a demon of cold, so Big as a mountain, whose breath froze everything in its path when provoked, and whose ice was as hard as steel, although it rarely came into contact with man, preferred to avoid its populations, it is also said that on one occasion I fought with the demon of the deep, who snatched his pack, and is waiting for his revenge, and when it occurs, it will bring a winter of a thousand years. "Daenerys wonders what creature can rival or even end a pack of ice dragons, hopes that this god of the profound is not the Kraken of Victarion, our objectives are still unknown to him, "let's hurry, I don't want to imagine that they will become the best capital in the kingdom and the little dragons that were born just a few weeks ago. " In King's Landing, the sky has clouded over, and a light snowfall begins to fall, Bronn, Yara, and Maron notice this little snowfall, "This is not a good sign, Yara gathers your men, see you at the landing gates "Prince Maron points out, Yara nods his head" go quickly little prince, I think we will have to enforce our promise to the queen before time. " Bronn is near there along with Maester Samwell, Brienne and Ser Davos, upon seeing the snowfall, the lord of the High Garden points out "I advise you three to take care of the evacuation of civilians as planned a few days ago, run to the sewers, help the residents to come out in an orderly manner, but without wasting time ", the other members of the Council, risks of the approaching danger, an exception of Brienne who protests saying" I am the Commander of the Royal Guard, my duty is to defend the crown and the throne, "Annoyed Bronn replies," you have already participated in this war together with the master and the Naval Adviser, you know well that now that the most important thing is to prevent the enemy from increasing his armies, for being the Commander of the Royal Guard, your duty is also in the defense of the people of the capital, so you must be in charge of their evacuation and security, in addition to the four, I am the only one with an army, I will be more useful here that in the sewers. " In the free city of Braavos, Victarion is in the meeting room of the Banco de Hierro, sits in the chair of one of the representatives of that bank, while taking long sips of "sunset color", his favorite drink, which it stains his lips a strong blue, in a cup carved from the skull of some unfortunate person who resisted his will. Kneeling and gagged in front of him is Tycho Nestoris, the representative of the iron bank, and one of his faces visible to the world, the banker asks him, "What are you looking for, what the hell do you want?" an offense that the Iron Bank will not tolerate ", Victarion smiles with a rather ironic and macabre grimace, responding to the banker" you better calm down, the last representative of this bank who spoke to me in that way now serves as a drink ", Tycho with a perplexed look understood, the skull where be Victarion belonged to Noho Dimittis, his partner in The Iron Bank. Tycho, with a slightly more diplomatic tone, replies "if you need our services, it is not necessary to use these methods, seeing your military resources, the Bank will be happy to finance any campaign you wish to undertake or will support you in any project you are planning "Victarion smiles, replying," I do not want your sponsorship or support in any company or campaign, I do not want a loan, I want the entire Iron Bank, I want everything you have under your control.
