High Sparrow
Ser Loras Tyrell. Are you prepared to stand trial and profess your guilt or innocence before the Seven?
Loras
There'll be no need for a trial. I confess before the Seven and freely admit to my crimes.
High Sparrow
To which crimes will you be confessing?
Loras
All of them. I lay with other men including the traitor Renly Baratheon.
The crowd murmurs.
Loras
I perjured myself before the gods. I am guilty of depravity… dishonesty, profligacy, and arrogance. I see that now. I humble myself before the Seven and accept whatever punishment the gods deem just.
High Sparrow
The gods' judgment is fierce, but also fair. The Warrior punishes those who believe themselves beyond the reach of justice. But the Mother shows her mercy to those who kneel before her.
LORAS kneels.
Loras
I take full responsibility for my many sins and unburden myself of my desires. My only remaining wish is to devote my life to the Seven. May I be a living example of their grace for others to witness.
High Sparrow
You understand fully what this means?
Loras
I do. I will abandon the Tyrell name and all that goes with it. I will renounce my lordship and my claims on Highgarden. I will never marry and I will never father children.
High Sparrow
Brother Loras…
LORAS begins to cry.
High Sparrow
...I ask you to dedicate your life to the seven gods.
The HIGH SPARROW touches LORAS' face. LORAS looks up at him.
High Sparrow
Will you fight to defend your faith against heretics and apostates?
Loras
I will.

No, I can't let them…

Faith is the way, Father.

High Sparrow
If the accused is not here, she will be tried regardless. We cannot escape the justice of the gods--
Margaery
Forget about the bloody gods and listen to what I'm telling you. Cersei understands the consequences of her absence and she is absent anyway, which means she does not intend to suffer those consequences. The trial can wait. We all need to leave.

Septa Unella
No.
Cersei
Confess.
CERSEI pours the pitcher into SEPTA UNELLA's face. SEPTA UNELLA sputters and struggles. When the pitcher is empty, SEPTA UNELLA gasps for air.
Cersei
Confess. It felt good. Beating me, starving me, frightening me, humiliating me. You didn't do it because you cared about my atonement. You did it because it felt good. I understand. I do things because they feel good. I drink because it feels good. I killed my husband because it felt good to be rid of him. I fuck my brother because it feels good to feel him inside me. I lie about fucking my brother… because it feels good to keep our son safe from hateful hypocrites. I killed your High Sparrow… and all his little sparrows… all his septons, all his septas, all his filthy soldiers, because it felt good to watch them burn. It felt good to imagine their shock and their pain. No thought has ever given me greater joy. Even confessing feels good under the right circumstances.
CERSEI touches SEPTA UNELLA's face.
Cersei
You've always been quiet.
CERSEI walks around the table.
Cersei
I said my face would be the last thing you saw before you died. Do you remember?

Good. I'm glad to see your face. I'm ready to meet the gods.

What? Now? Today? You're not going to die today. You're not going to die for quite a while. Ser Gregor.

Shame.

Shame.

THE TWINSA banquet is underway. WALDER FREY is making a toast. JAIME and BRONN sit at the tables with the Frey and Lannister men, listening.
Walder
For House Lannister!
Men
Hear me roar!
The men cheer.
Walder
For House Frey!
Men
We stand together!
The men cheer.
Walder
May we stand together through the centuries, good friends to the last.
The men cheer.
Walder
And when we drive our swords through our enemies' hearts, may we speak the words of our alliance, "The Freys and the Lannisters send their regards."
The men cheer. A handmaiden looks at BRONN and then at JAIME.
Bronn
You don't even have to do anything, do you?
JAIME looks at the handmaiden.
Bronn
You just sit there, a rich slab of beef, and all the birds come pecking.
Jaime
You're welcome to her.
Bronn
She doesn't want me. She wants your golden fingers up her twat.
JAIME nods at two women standing on the other side of the room.
Jaime
Those two have their eyes on you.
BRONN looks at the women.
Bronn
They have their eyes on you, cunt.
Jaime
Not my type.
Bronn
Not blonde enough?
Jaime
Ladies, have you met Ser Bronn of the Blackwater, hero of the Battle of Blackwater Bay.
JAIME looks at BRONN.
Jaime
There you go.
Bronn
Maybe I'm not in the mood.
The girls approach Bronn.
Bronn
Fuck it.
BRONN stands and approaches the girls.
Bronn
No need to call me ser just because I'm an anointed knight.
WALDER sits down next to JAIME.
Walder
This came together rather well. Your father would be pleased.
Jaime
I'm sure he would be.
Walder
Edmure is back in a cell. Can't go killing my son by law. It wouldn't be right. Give the family a bad name.
WALDER sips his wine.
Walder
So the famous Blackfish killed by footsoldiers, eh? Legendary warrior, everyone said.
Jaime
Have you done much fighting yourself, Lord Frey?
Walder
I'm a bit old for all that.
Jaime
No, but back in your day.
Walder
The purpose of fighting is defeating your enemies, isn't it?
JAIME nods.
Walder
I've defeated mine. Riverrun belonged to House Tully for a thousand years. Now it's mine. What do you call that? Victory.
Jaime
Yes, you're a great conqueror.
Walder
Go on, mock me, boy. You think I mind? The Tullys mocked me for years. The Starks mocked me. Where are they now? You talk about war as if you're an expert but the one battle I remember you fighting, you were captured by Robb Stark, the Young Wolf. But it doesn't matter. Here we are now, two kingslayers. We know what it's like to have them grovel to our faces and snigger behind our backs. We don't mind, do we? Fear is a marvelous thing.
Jaime
They don't fear the Freys, though. They fear the Lannisters. We gave you the Riverlands to hold the Riverlands. If we have to ride north and take them back for you every time you lose them, why do we need you?
JAIME stands and exits. WALDER watches him go.

Qyburn
Your Grace, there's no need--
Cersei
Show me.
QYBURN uncovers TOMMEN's body. CERSEI stares at it.
Qyburn
What are your thoughts concerning the king's funeral? As the Sept of Baelor is no longer an option, perhaps a ceremony in the throne room?
Cersei
He should be with his grandfather, his brother, his sister. Burn him and bury his ashes where the sept once stood.EXT. OLDTOWN - OUTSKIRTSA horse-drawn carriage moves down the road, then stops.

Hello.

Sam
From Lord Commander Snow at Castle Black.
SAM holds up a letter. The maester puts down his spectacles and opens his palm. SAM reaches across the table with the letter, offering it to the maester. The maester does not retrieve it. SAM presses himself against the desk, leans further in, and places the letter directly in the maester's hand. The maester takes the letter, breaks the seal, and reads it.
Sam
I'm-- I'm to be the new maester.
The maester looks at SAM and then opens a large book. He flips a few pages.
Maester
Oh.
The maester points his finger to a line of text on the open page.
Maester
According to our records, Jeor Mormont is Lord Commander.
Sam
He died.
Maester
We received no report from the maester at Castle Black.
Sam
Maester Aemon became quite ill shortly after the election. He's since passed away. Which is why I'm here.
Maester
This is irregular.
Sam
Yes, well, I suppose that life is irregular.
The maester stares blankly at SAM, then picks up a quill and crosses off two lines of text in the open book.
Maester
The archmaester will discuss these irregularities with you. In the meantime, you are permitted to use the library. Follow me.
The maester stands and begins walking away. SAM and GILLY start to follow him. He turns back and looks at GILLY.
Maester
No women or children!
The maester turns and walks away. SAM makes several baffled gestures to GILLY and then follows the maester. They enter a small hallway full of books. The maester stops in front of a dark side passage and gestures towards it. SAM starts down the passage. The maester leaves. On his way through, SAM touches several of the books lining the shelves. SAM emerges onto the other side of the passage. The passage opens onto an enormous library with a chandelier dangling from the ceiling that reflects light. SAM gets teary and smiles.EXT.

When we had feasts, our family would sit up here… and I'd sit down there.
JON SNOW points to the other end of the hall.
Melisandre
Could have been worse, Jon Snow. You had a family. You had feasts.
JON SNOW chuckles.
Jon Snow
Aye, you're right. I was luckier than most.
DAVOS enters the hall and tosses the charred stag statuette at MELISANDRE. MELISANDRE catches it.
Jon Snow
What is that?
Davos
Tell him. Tell him who it belonged to.
Melisandre
The Princess Shireen.
Davos
Tell him what you did to her. Tell him!
Melisandre
We burned her at the stake.
Davos
Why?
Melisandre
The army was trapped. The horses were dying. It was the only way.
Davos
You burned a little girl alive!
Melisandre
I only do what my Lord commands!
Davos
If he commands you to burn children, your Lord is evil!
Melisandre
We are standing here because of him. Jon Snow is alive because the Lord willed it.
Davos
I loved that girl like she was my own. She was good. She was kind. And you killed her!
Melisandre
So did her father. So did her mother. Her own blood knew it was the only way.
Davos
The only way for what? They all died anyway! You told everyone Stannis was the one. You had him believing it, all of them fooled. And you lied.
Melisandre
I didn't lie. I was wrong.
Davos
Aye, you were wrong. How many died because you were wrong?
DAVOS and MELISANDRE stare at each other in silence.
Davos (to Jon Snow)
I ask your leave to execute this woman for murder. She admits to the crime.
Jon Snow (to Melisandre)
Do you have anything to say for yourself?
Melisandre
I've been ready to die for many years. If the Lord was done with me, so be it, but he's not. You've seen the Night King, Jon Snow. You know the great war is still to come. You know the army of the dead will be upon us soon. And you know I can help you win that war.
JON SNOW approaches MELISANDRE.
Jon Snow
Ride south today. If you return to the North, I'll have you hanged as a murderer.
MELISANDRE puts the stag statuette down on the high table and begins to walk away. DAVOS moves in her way.
Davos
If you ever come back this way, I will execute you myself.
MELISANDRE moves past DAVOS and exits.

JON SNOW stands atop the outer wall watching MELISANDRE ride south on her horse. SANSA appears.
Jon Snow
I'm having the lord's chamber prepared for you.
Sansa
Mother and Father's room? You should take it.
Jon Snow
I'm not a Stark.
Sansa
You are to me.
Jon Snow
You're the Lady of Winterfell. You deserve it. We're standing here because of you. The battle was lost until the Knights of the Vale rode in. They came because of you. You told me Lord Baelish sold you to the Boltons.
Sansa
He did.
Jon Snow
And you trust him?
Sansa
Only a fool would trust Littlefinger. I should have told you about him, about the Knights of the Vale. I'm sorry.
JON SNOW approaches SANSA.
Jon Snow
We need to trust each other. We can't fight a war amongst ourselves. We have so many enemies now.
JON SNOW touches SANSA's face and kisses her on the forehead, then turns to walk away.
Sansa
Jon.
JON SNOW turns back to face SANSA.
Sansa
A raven came from the Citadel. A white raven. Winter is here.
JON SNOW smiles and looks up at the sky.
Jon Snow
Well, Father always promised, didn't he?
JON SNOW exits. SANSA looks out at the wilderness.EXT. SUNSPEAR - COURTYARDELLARIA SAND and OLENNA TYRELL are sitting across a table from each other. OBARA SAND, NYMERIA SAND, and TYENE SAND flank ELLARIA.
Olenna
The last time a Tyrell came to Dorne, he was assassinated. 100 red scorpions, was it?
Ellaria
You have nothing to fear from us, Lady Olenna.
Olenna
You murder your own prince, but you expect me to trust you?
Obara
We invited you to Dorne because we needed your help. You came to Dorne because you needed our help?
Olenna
What is your name again? Barbaro?
Obara
Obara.
Olenna
Obara. You look like an angry little boy. Don't presume to tell me what I need.
Nymeria
Forgive my sister. What she lacks in diplomacy, she makes--
Olenna
Do shut up, dear.
OLENNA looks at TYENE.
Olenna
Anything from you?
TYENE opens her mouth to speak.
Olenna
No? Good. Let the grown women speak.
Ellaria
The Lannisters have declared war on House Tyrell. They have declared war on Dorne. We must be allies now if we wish to survive.
Olenna
Cersei stole the future from me. She killed my son. She killed my grandson. She killed my granddaughter. Survival is not what I'm after now.
Ellaria
You're absolutely right. I chose the wrong words. It is not survival I offer. It is your heart's desire.
ELLARIA rings a bell.
Olenna
And what is my heart's desire?
Ellaria
Vengeance. Justice.

Your ships are nearly ready. I saw them painting the sails.
DAARIO pours himself a glass of wine.
Daario
I'm curious to see how the Dothraki do on the poison water.
Daenerys
You're not coming with us.
Daario
New strategy? You want the Second Sons to attack from the west coast? If we take Casterly Rock, the Lannisters will have nowhere to run when you hit King's Landing.
DAARIO approaches DAENERYS and stands in front of her.
Daenerys
You're not going to Westeros. You're staying here with the Second Sons. There's finally peace in Meereen. You will keep the peace while the people choose their own leaders.
DAARIO sets his glass of wine down on a table.
Daario
Fuck Meereen. Fuck the people. I'm here for you, not them.
Daenerys
You promised me. "My sword is yours. My life is yours." This is what I command. If I'm going to rule in Westeros, I'll need to make alliances. The best way to make alliances is with marriage.
DAARIO sits down.
Daario
Who are you marrying this time?
Daenerys
I don't know. Maybe no one.
Daario
But you need to lure all the noble houses to the table? Are you a queen or fish bait?
Daenerys
I can't bring a lover to Westeros.
Daario
A king wouldn't think twice about it.
Daenerys
So that's what you want? To be my mistress?
Daario
I'm not proud. I don't care what perfumed aristocrat sits beside you in the throne room. I don't want a crown. I want you.
DAARIO approaches DAENERYS and kneels in front of her.
Daario
I love you. And I make you happy. You know I do. Bring me with you. Let me fight for you.
DAENERYS touches DAARIO's face.
Daenerys
I can't.
DAARIO stands.
Daario
The dwarf told you to do this.
Daenerys
No one tells me to do anything.
Daario
Clever fellow. Can't argue with his logic. I'm no use to you over there.
Daenerys
Don't get angry.
Daario
I'm not angry. I'm full of self-pity. Who comes after you? Who can ever follow Daenerys Stormborn, the Mother of Dragons?
Daenerys
A great number of women, I imagine. Specific orders will be left for you regarding the welfare of Meereen and the Bay of Dragons.
DAENERYS stands.
Daario
Bay of Dragons?

Daenerys
We can't call it Slaver's Bay anymore, can we?
Daario
You'll get that throne you want so badly, I'm sure of it. I hope it brings you happiness.
DAARIO sips his wine.
Daario
I pity the lord of Westeros. They have no idea what's coming for them.
Daenerys
Farewell, Daario Naharis.
DAARIO nods and exits.

Cut To: Meereen - Great Pyramid Throne Room

70 lines
TYRION is sitting off to the side of the room on a bench. DAENERYS enters, walking down the steps from the throne.
Tyrion
How did he take it?
Daenerys
No tears.
Tyrion
I know it was hard for you. You turned away a man who truly loves you because he would have been a liability in the Seven Kingdoms. That's the kind of self-sacrifice that makes for a good ruler, if it's any consolation.
DAENERYS reaches the bottom of the steps and approaches TYRION.
Daenerys
It's not.
Tyrion
No, I suppose not. I'm terrible at consoling.
DAENERYS sits down on the bench next to TYRION.
Daenerys
Yes, you really are.
Tyrion
All right, how about the fact that this is actually happening? You have your armies, you have your ships, you have your dragons. Everything you've ever wanted since you were old enough to want anything. It's all yours for the taking. Are you afraid?
DAENERYS nods.
Tyrion
Good. You're in the great game now. And the great game's terrifying. The only people who aren't afraid of failure are madmen like your father.
Daenerys
Do you know what frightens me? I said farewell to a man who loves me. A man I thought I cared for. And I felt nothing. Just impatient to get on with it.
Tyrion
He wasn't the first to love you and he won't be the last.
Daenerys
Well, you have completely failed to console me.
DAENERYS stands and turns to face TYRION.
Tyrion
For what it's worth, I've been a cynic for as long as I can remember. Everyone's always asking me to believe in things-- family, gods, kings, myself. It was often tempting until I saw where belief got people. So I said no, thank you to belief. And yet here I am.
TYRION stands on the bench.
Tyrion
I believe in you. It's embarrassing, really. I'd swear you my sword, but I don't actually own a sword.
Daenerys
It's your counsel I need.
Tyrion
It's yours. Now and always.
Daenerys
Good. I, um… I had something made for you. I'm not sure if it's right.
DAENERYS pins a Hand of the King's brooch on TYRION's chest.
Daenerys
Tyrion Lannister, I name you Hand of the Queen.
TYRION holds back tears, then kneels.INT. THE TWINSWALDER FREY is sitting at the high table, eating and drinking. The rest of the dining hall is empty. A handmaiden approaches and sets down a platter of pie on the table in front of him.
Walder
You're not one of mine, are you?
Handmaiden
No, my lord.
Walder
Didn't think so. Too pretty.
WALDER slaps the handmaiden on the buttocks and smiles.
Walder
Where are my damn moron sons? Black Walder and Lothar promised to be here by midday.
Handmaiden
They're here, my lord.
Walder
Well, what are they doing, trimming their cunt hairs? Tell them to come here now.
Handmaiden
But they're already here, my lord.
WALDER looks around the hall. The handmaiden points to the pie.
Handmaiden
Here, my lord.
WALDER pulls back the top layer of the pie. A finger protrudes from the center of the slice.
Handmaiden
They weren't easy to carve. Especially Black Walder.
WALDER breathes heavily.
Walder
What…
The handmaiden reaches up to her face and pulls it away, revealing her true identity is ARYA.
Arya
My name is Arya Stark. I want you to know that. The last thing you're ever going to see is a Stark smiling down at you as you die.
ARYA brandishes a knife. WALDER gets up to run, but ARYA grabs him and pulls him back down. She grabs him by the forehead and slits his throat. He convulses and groans as he dies. ARYA smiles and stares at him.EXT. WINTERFELL - WEIRWOOD TREESANSA sits underneath the weirwood tree. PETYR approaches her.
Petyr
Forgive me, my lady… if you're at prayer.
Sansa
I'm done with all that. I came here every day when I was a girl. I prayed to be somewhere else. Back then I only ever thought about what I wanted, never about what I had.
SANSA stands and walks towards PETYR.
Sansa
I was a stupid girl.
Petyr
You were a child.
Sansa
What do you want?
Petyr
I thought you knew what I wanted.
Sansa
I was wrong.
Petyr
No, you weren't. Every time I'm faced with a decision, I close my eyes and see the same picture. Whenever I consider an action, I ask myself will this action help to make this picture a reality? Pull it out of my mind and into the world? And I only act if the answer is yes. A picture of me on the Iron Throne… and you by my side.
PETYR leans in to kiss SANSA, but SANSA puts her hand on his chest to stop him.
Sansa
It's a pretty picture.
SANSA walks past PETYR.
Petyr
News of this battle will spread quickly through the Seven Kingdoms. I've declared for House Stark for all to hear.
Sansa
You've declared for other houses before, Lord Baelish. It's never stopped you from serving yourself.
Petyr
The past is gone for good. You can sit here mourning its departure or you can prepare for the future. You, my love, are the future of House Stark. Who should the North rally behind? A trueborn daughter of Ned and Catelyn Stark born here at Winterfell or a motherless bastard born in the south?
SANSA exits.EXT. BEYOND THE WALLBENJEN stares up at The Wall. BRAN and MEERA wait nearby.
Benjen
This is where I leave you.
Meera
You're not coming with us?
Benjen
The Wall is not just ice and stone. Ancient spells were carved into its foundations. Strong magic to protect men from what lies beyond. And while it stands, the dead cannot pass. I cannot pass.
BENJEN approaches his horse and lifts BRAN off of it. He carries BRAN to the foot of a nearby weirwood, then walks back to his horse.
Meera
Where will you go?
Benjen
The great war is coming and I still fight for the living. I'll do what I can… as long as I can.
BENJEN mounts his horse.
Bran
Thank you, Uncle Benjen.
Benjen
I wish you both good fortune.
BENJEN rides away. BRAN looks at the weirwood and then starts to crawl towards it. MEERA helps him. BRAN reaches out to the weirwood but MEERA grabs his wrist.
Meera
Are you sure you're ready for this?
Bran
I'm the Three-Eyed Raven now. I have to be ready for this.

BRAN touches the weirwood tree.EXT. VISION OF THE PAST - TOWER OF JOYNED stands at the base of the Tower of Joy. He heards LYANNA screaming in the Tower and rushes towards the stairs. BRAN stands on the ground behind him. NED turns back as though he hears a noise, but sees nothing. He hurries up the steps. BRAN follows. NED bursts through a door into a bedroom. LYANNA lies in bed. The sheets are soaked with blood. A handmaiden is standing in the corner.
Lyanna
Ned?
Ned
Lyanna.
NED rushes to LYANNA's side.
Lyanna
Is that you? Is that really you?
LYANNA lifts her hand. NED takes it.
Lyanna
You're not a dream.
Ned
No, I'm not a dream. I'm here. Right here.
Lyanna
I've missed you, big brother.
NED begins to cry.
Ned
I've missed you, too.
Lyanna
I want to be brave.
Ned
Shh. You are.
Lyanna
I'm not.
NED lifts his hand from LYANNA's stomach. His palm is covered in blood.
Lyanna
I don't want to die.
Ned
You're not going to die.
NED looks at the handmaiden.
Ned
Get her some water!
Lyanna
No, no water.
Ned
Is there a maester?
Lyanna
Please. Listen to me, Ned.
LYANNA whispers in NED's ear.
Lyanna
If Robert finds out, he'll kill him, you know he will. You have to protect him. Promise me, Ned. Promise me.
The handmaiden hands NED the child.
Lyanna
Promise me, Ned. Promise me.
NED stares down at the baby. The baby opens its eyes. Zoom on the baby's face.INT. WINTERFELL - DINING HALLSlow zoom out from JON SNOW's face. JON SNOW is sitting at high table. SANSA sits beside him. Representatives from Northern houses, the Vale, and the wildlings are gathered in the dining hall. TORMUND and DAVOS sit among the wildlings. PETYR stands off to the side, watching.
Vale Knight
You can't expect Knights of the Vale to side with wildling invaders.
Tormund
We didn't invade. We were invited.
Vale Knight
Not by me.
JON SNOW stands.
Jon Snow
The free folk, the northerners, and the Knights of the Vale fought bravely, fought together, and we won. My father uses to say we find our true friends on the battlefield.
One of the houses' representatives stands.
Man
The Boltons are defeated. The war is over. Winter has come. If the maesters are right, it'll be the coldest one in a thousand years. We should ride home and wait out the coming storms.
Jon Snow
The war is not over. And I promise you, friend, the true enemy won't wait out the storm. He brings the storm.
The men begin to murmur. LYANNA MORMONT stands.
Lyanna
Your son was butchered at the Red Wedding, Lord Manderly. But you refused the call. You swore allegiance to House Stark, Lord Glover, but in their hour of greatest need, you refused the call. And you, Lord Cerwyn, your father was skinned alive by Ramsay Bolton. Still you refuse the call. But House Mormont remembers. The North remembers. We know no king but the King in the North whose name is Stark. I don't care if he's a bastard. Ned Stark's blood runs through his veins. He's my king from this day until his last day.
The men resume murmuring. LORD MANDERLY stands.
Manderly
Lady Mormont speaks harshly and truly. My son died for Robb Stark, the Young Wolf. I didn't think we'd find another king in my lifetime. I didn't commit my men to your cause 'cause I didn't want more Manderlys dying for nothing. But I was wrong. Jon Snow avenged the Red Wedding. He is the White Wolf. The King in the North.
MANDERLY draws his blade, then rests it point-down on the ground and kneels. LORD GLOVER stands.
Glover
I did not fight beside you on the field and I will regret that until my dying day. A man can only admit when he was wrong and ask forgiveness.
Jon Snow
There's nothing to forgive, my lord.
Glover
There will be more fights to come. House Glover will stand behind House Stark as we have for a thousands years. And I will stand behind Jon Snow… the King in the North!
GLOVER draws his blade, then rests it point-down on the ground and kneels.
Glover
The King in the North!
Everyone in the hall stands and draws their blades.
All
The King in the North! The King in the North! The King in the North! The King in the North! The King in the North! The King in the North! The King in the North! The King in the North!
JON SNOW stands. SANSA and PETYR look at each other.EXT. KING'S LANDING - OUTSKIRTSJAIME, BRONN, and several Lannister knights are riding on horseback on a high hill. They stop and look out at King's Landing. JAIME sees smoke billowing out of the ruins of the Great Sept of Baelor.
Jaime
Come on.
JAIME rides on.

Qyburn

All
Long may she reign.EXT. SUMMER SEATHEON and YARA are standing on their ship. They look out at the sea. A vessel appears with a dragon as its ram. GREY WORM and the Unsullied are riding in it. Hundreds of other ships are sailing around them. Some of the ships carry the Dothraki and their horses. DROGON, VISERION, and RHAEGAL fly overhead. They fly over the boat leading the convoy DAENERYS, TYRION, VARYS, and MISSANDEI are riding in it. DAENERYS and TYRION look at each other, then DAENERYS looks out at the ocean ahead. The dragons screech.CREDITS
