Chapter 28: A United Front

The Great Hall of Winterfell was bustling with activity as the council gathered to discuss the latest developments. Daenerys, Jon, Tyrion, Sansa, and Samwell sat around the large table, their expressions serious but determined. The discovery of the prophecy had given them new purpose, and they were ready to take the next steps.

Daenerys began, her voice steady and confident. "We need to share this information with our closest allies first. They need to understand the significance of the prophecy and how it can help us unite the realm."

Sansa nodded. "I'll speak with the lords and ladies of the North. They've been supportive so far, and I believe they'll continue to stand with us if they see the importance of this."

Tyrion leaned forward. "I'll handle the Reach and the Stormlands. We have strong allies there, and they respect Daenerys's leadership. If we can get their buy-in, it will strengthen our position."

Samwell added, "We should also consider sending envoys to Dorne and the Iron Islands. Their support will be crucial in maintaining stability across the realm."

Jon looked at each of them, his gaze firm. "We need to move quickly but carefully. We can't afford any missteps. Let's begin reaching out to our allies and arrange meetings. We need to present a united front."

The council agreed, and the preparations began. Letters were sent, and meetings were arranged. The following days were a whirlwind of activity as envoys traveled to various parts of the realm, carrying the message of the prophecy and the hope it represented.

A week later, Daenerys and Jon stood at the gates of Winterfell, waiting for their guests to arrive. The first to appear were the lords and ladies of the North, led by Lady Lyanna Mormont and Lord Wyman Manderly. They greeted Daenerys and Jon with respect and curiosity.

Lady Lyanna spoke first, her voice strong and direct. "We've come to hear what you have to say. The North has always stood by you, and we want to understand what this new information means for us."

Daenerys nodded, grateful for their support. "Thank you for coming. Let's go inside, and we'll explain everything."

As they made their way to the Great Hall, more allies arrived. Yara Greyjoy, representing the Iron Islands, and Ellaria Sand, representing Dorne, were among the next to appear. Their presence signaled the broad support Daenerys and Jon had managed to garner.

Once everyone was assembled in the Great Hall, Tyrion began the presentation. He spoke clearly and eloquently, explaining the significance of the prophecy and how it aligned with recent events. Samwell provided the historical context, his deep knowledge of the ancient texts lending credibility to their claims.

The lords and ladies listened intently, their expressions ranging from curiosity to skepticism. When Tyrion and Samwell finished, a murmur of conversation filled the room.

Lord Manderly was the first to speak. "This prophecy... it sounds like a story from the old tales. But the evidence you've presented is compelling. If it means uniting the realm and bringing peace, then I support it."

Lady Lyanna nodded in agreement. "The North remembers. We've seen the strength of Daenerys and Jon. If this prophecy is true, it only strengthens our resolve to stand with you."

Yara Greyjoy added, "The Iron Islands have always valued strength and leadership. You've shown both. We'll continue to support you."

Ellaria Sand's voice was soft but firm. "Dorne seeks peace and stability. If this prophecy can help achieve that, then you have our support as well."

Daenerys felt a wave of relief. Their closest allies were on board. It was a significant step forward. "Thank you all for your support. Together, we can make this prophecy a reality and build a future where the realm is united and at peace."

Jon nodded, his voice filled with determination. "We have a long road ahead, but with all of us working together, we can achieve it. Let's move forward, united and strong."

The meeting concluded with a renewed sense of purpose. The lords and ladies returned to their lands with the promise of continued support, while Daenerys, Jon, and their council began planning their next moves
