Chapter 1: Dancing Fire

Daenerys

The cold winds of winter blew against the queen's skin, but the fire in her blood warmed her. She didn't know where she was headed to or what was beyond. Drogon flew the Khaleesi away from the ruins of King's Landing, from the war that she had started, a war that she had lost. Now the whole continent was covered in a thick layer of snow, winter was finally here and with it the dead as well. She had lost her close comrades in the battle for the iron throne, her most trusted advisor Tyrion was surely dead, her translator Melissandei had been shot with an arrow, and her closest friend had come to gray scale. "I have nothing left," she told Drogon as he landed on an icy patch of land, it was seven-hundred feet high and overlooked huge mountains and trees.

The dragon was so large he broke the tip of the wall causing Dany to tremble and fall next to a fire. "We are at the wall, I remember this in the House of the Undying," she told Drogon. The dragon only growled in response, he opened his wings and flew north into the distance. Dany called after him, he was the only thing she had left, but now he left her too. Everything, absolutely everything is gone.

Dany heard voices from behind, they were frantic and seemed to be getting louder by the second. "Who are you?" One of the voices called from behind her. Dany turned around and saw a man with thick black curls and a black cloak, with him was a man in similar clothing, but he had a stern face and straight hair. "Daenerys Targaryen," she said with hopelessness in her voice. She wanted to change her name, hide her shame and forget about everything. The young queen knew that would not be an easy task, she is a Targaryen, her silver hair and violet eyes would give herself away no matter how hard she tried. The young man looked at her with shock, no doubt wondering what she was doing atop the wall.

"How did you get here?" He asked.

"My dragon," Dany said looking into the distance. She wondered if he would come back for her. He was her only child left, Viserion and Rhaegal had died in the battle, but somehow Drogon had survived.

"That must've been what we heard then," the other man said.

"Are you hurt my lady?" The curly-haired man asked.

"No," she said. Yes I am, everything hurts.

"I'm Jon Snow, this is Dolorous Edd. We are men of the Night's Watch; may I ask why you are here?" His tone was kind and careful, Dany appreciated that.

"I lost."

Both men looked at each other not knowing what to say. Daenerys Targaryen looked as if she had lost all her strength. Dany walked to the edge of the wall again, she was so destroyed and felt she had nothing to live for. She stepped even closer to the edge and placed one foot off the huge wall, Jon immediately ran to her and pulled her back. They both fell with Dany on top of Jon, she couldn't help herself anymore and cried. Her salty tears were soaked by Jon's black cloak, he rubbed her arm in response trying to comfort her knowing how terrible she must feel. "Come my lady, let's go get you warmed up." Jon pulled the Khaleesi off the ground, but she resisted. "My dragon," she said, "I need to get him."

"He's north of the wall my lady, that's too dangerous." Dolorous Edd told her.

"I need him," she said firmly.

Jon looked to Dolorous then to the dragon queen, "My lady, do you know what's happened?"

"I know all about it, everywhere is covered with snow. I know all about the dead and the white walkers. They moved south of the wall and destroyed everything, everything I had ever loved. I will not lose the only thing I have left." She began to walk away, "Take me to the gate." Both men obeyed the queen seeing that she would not give up.

Dany had walked out; her silver hair blew in the wind as she gazed upon the icy distance. Jon had decided to come with her in case something had went wrong, and secretly Dany was grateful he had come to protect her. In the distance, she heard the screech of Drogon and saw his fire in the air, "He's not too far away." She said picking up her pace. Jon started to run trying to keep up with the dragon queen.

They reached the fire and realized Drogon had just burned a couple of white walkers. "He can kill white walkers?" Jon asked amazed.

"I guess so," Dany responded. She walked over to her child extending out her arm to pet his rough head. Drogon purred or rather growled in response to Dany's touch. "Come Drogon, we have to go back," she said whiling trying to climb his back. Drogon pulled himself away not allowing Dany to climb on him.

"You can ride him?" Jon asked shocked.

"Sometimes," Dany said honestly. Drogon was unpredictable in nature, some days he would allow Dany ride him while other days he growled in response and flew off into the distance.

"What's that over there?" Jon running to the scene. It was a blue light, or rather different shades of blue radiating off of a weir wood tree. Dany looked at the tree not knowing what it was, she had never seen a weir tree in her life. "This is the tree I swore my vows for the Night's Watch," Jon said.

Dany saw someone had carved a face into the tree and just then remembered it was the children of the forest. Jon looked to Dany, his eyes grew sad and suddenly he turned around and walked over to where Drogon laid. "Let's go back," he said. Dany didn't listen, instead she turned around and walked over to the tree, it was calling to her. Not physically, but the lights had turned red, it was like watching dragon fire dance in the sky. Dany bent down and placed her hand on the tree, suddenly she was gone.

Jon

The lights of the weir wood tree had suddenly turned red, the lights changed from bright orange to dark red every other second. Jon was beside the huge beast watching Daenerys walk towards the tree, "What are you doing?" he yelled to her, but she didn't answer. It was like she couldn't hear him yelling to her, it was as if she was in a trance.

The Khaleesi had suddenly disappeared, Jon did not see how, but he knew she vanished. Jon ran to the tree to find her, maybe she is behind the tree Jon thought. He looked, but she wasn't there. Jon started to panic not knowing where she had gone, it was like she vanished out of thin air. Behind him, Drogon gave a loud growl and opened his wings, he started to fly towards the flames on top of the tree and suddenly he was gone to. What is this madness? What's happening?

Jon had begun to panic, he was supposed to protect the dragon queen, but instead had lost her to the weir wood tree. A feeling of pure despair came to Jon, he remembered his past, he remembered his family dying from the cold and how the white walkers took everything from him. He had failed them. Now he failed the dragon queen too.

The lights were still glowing, but they had turned back to blue. Jon felt tears in his eyes, he had to admit it was a beautiful sight seeing the beautiful lights on top on the tree. Just then Jon had begun to cry, it was a violent rush of sadness, depression, and hopelessness. Jon went over to the weir wood tree as his father once did, the tears were still falling down his face, but the only thing on his mind was his father. Jon sat down under the tree with his head in his knees, he was done with the world and wanted to give up. He lifted his head and placed his hand on the trees face, he needed something to stable himself as he lifted himself up, but as he placed his hand on the tree, the world all around him had changed.

Jon found himself in a green field with grass up to his knees and a clear blue sky. Where I am? Where is the snow? He searched around the area not seeing anything in front of him or behind him. It was nothing, but grass and the blue sky above him. Jon's sadness had left him, now he felt nervous and uneasy. Jon knew he wasn't in Westeros anymore, he wasn't sure if he was even in the same world. Jon began to walk around trying to find any clues as to where he was. He knew his mission was to find Daenerys and he wouldn't stop until he did. Jon heard moans coming from behind him, he turned around and saw three people walking towards him. When they got closer, Jon realized they weren't people at all, merely a programmed object that only killed the living. Wights.

Jon grabbed his long sword from its sheath and placed it carefully in his hands, he ran to the closest body and swung his sword. He managed to chop off its head and then turned his attention to the other two. One had grabbed him by his shoulders, but Jon aimed his sword behind himself and stabbed it in the head. Jon was saw the head of the first one he killed still moving. Its jaws opened and closed, as if it was eating the air. Bloody hell. Suddenly he found himself being tackled by the third living dead, it's rotten hands grabbed at Jon trying to bite into him. Jon yelled in response, but lost his sword. He was on the ground fumbling with the monster when he heard a screech in the air. The ground had rumbled and Jon could see it was Drogon. The dragon opened its huge mouth and tore the man off of Jon. Drogon ducked his head down, Jon saw Dany was riding on top of him. She looked magnificent with her silver hair blowing in the wind and her white dress blowing with it.

"Are you alright?" Dany asked running to Jon.

Jon managed to give her smile in response to her concern. "Yes, thanks to Drogon."

Dany looked at the dragon, he was laying down in the grass with his head down trying to sleep. "I've been looking for you. I don't know where we are. I can't recognize anything." Dany said looking around.

Jon had told her about the lights and how he had suddenly been transported into this new world. Dany nodded in response, she helped Jon up from the ground and went over to where Drogon lay. "What are we going to do?" She asked him.

Jon was at a lost, he didn't know anything about this world other than the dead were preying on the living. "Let's just look around and see what we find."

Dany and Jon had reached a road, Drogon flew above them searching for something as well. "If Drogon finds something, he'll let us know." Dany told Jon.

Jon only nodded. They continued walking on the road trying to find some shelter to think things through. "Where do you think we are?" He asked.

"I don't know, definitely not in Westeros anymore, or Essos for that matter." She said staring straight ahead.

The two walked in silence, but heard a strange sound coming from behind them. They turned around and saw some type of machine coming towards them. It didn't look like anything they had ever seen before which made Jon very nervous. It stopped in front of them and two men got out of it. "Who are you people?" One man with a beard said. He was holding some type of weapon aimed at Jon while the other man had some other weapon aimed at Dany. The two strangers eyed them carefully, looking Jon and Dany up and down.

"I'm Jon Snow," he said. They both nodded and turned to Dany.

Daenerys looked on edge, but still managed to speak. "Daenerys," she said softly.

Both men looked at each other with questioning eyes. "Where are you two from?" The first man asked.

"Westeros," Dany said.

"Where is that?" The other man asked.

"Far from here," Jon replied.

The two men looked rather confused and suspicious of them. Jon noticed how dirty both them had looked. They looked like they have been through a lot. "I'm Rick," the man with the beard said, "This is Daryl." Both Jon and Dany nodded in response not knowing what to say.

"Is it just you two?" Rick asked.

"Yes," Jon said not wanting them to know about Drogon. No doubt they would be terrified of him.

"Why are you dressed like that?" Daryl asked Jon and Dany. Jon was still in his blacks, his black cloak hung loosely around him. He started feeling the heat as he stood with the strangers. Daenerys looked incredibly beautiful in an all-white dress with her hair done in braids, but it was a bit tussled from the wind. Still she was undeniable beautiful even thought her dress was a bit dirty from their strange journey.

"It was winter wear we were." Jon told them.

The men only nodded and started whispering to each other, Jon couldn't hear them, but it sounded like they were deciding if they were good or bad. "Alright," Rick said, "You're welcome to say with us for a while. Only if you promise not to try anything because I will not hesitate to kill you." Jon and Dany remained silent, but managed to nod. "Give us your weapons, when we know we can trust you, we'll give them back to you." Jon knew better not to argue with the man so he complied and gave them his sword.

"What the hell?" Daryl said. "Never seen a sword like this before." He said eyeing Longclaw.

Rick looked at Daenerys seeing if she had a weapon on her, but the queen's only weapon was somewhere in the sky. "You have anything on you?" Rick said.

"No," Dany said softly. Rick nodded and told them get in the car. Before Dany got in she asked, "Where are you taking us?"

"To our camp," Rick replied.

Daenerys looked into the sky, Jon knew she wanted Drogon to come with her, but he was nowhere in sight. Both men climbed in and suddenly they were moving. Jon held onto the seat tightly as he felt the vehicle moving, he looked over and saw Dany staring out the window. He noticed her hands were holding on tight too so he grabbed onto her hand. She smiled at him, and held on, both were undoubtedly nervous.

It seemed like an hour before the vehicle had finally stopped. Rick told both of them to get out of the car, but Dany wasn't sure how to open the door. With much struggling Daryl opened the door for her and both stepped out. There was a small crowd of people that seemed to be waiting for the arrival of the two men. One woman with short brown hair came up to Rick, "Why are you back so soon? And who are they?" She said eyeing Jon and Dany.

"We found them on the road." Daryl told her.

The small group eyed the two new arrivals with suspicious, but curious eyes. Most of the attention was to Dany, she stood above all the people with her white hair and white dress. Dany felt nervous with all the eyes upon and Daryl seemed to have noticed it. "Someone show them where they can stay." Daryl called out. The girl with short brown hair volunteered, "Come on you two follow me, I'm Maggie by the way." She said with a smile.

Jon introduced himself to her and started to follow along, but noticed Daenerys had stayed back, "Come on," he called. The crowd stared at the two with wonder in their eyes, "What's wrong?" Jon whispered.

"Drogon," Dany said quietly. "He's coming, I can feel it."
