[Jon and Daenerys explore a cave beneath Dragonstone. By torchlight, he shows her a series of cave paintings]
The Children of the Forest made these.
[awed] When?
A very long time ago.
They were right here, standing right where we're standing, before there were Targaryens or Starks or Lannisters. Maybe even before there were men.
No. They were here together. The Children and the First Men.
Doing what? Fighting each other?
[shows her a cave painting depicting humans and White Walkers] They fought together, against their common enemy, despite their differences, despite their suspicions...together. We need to do the same if we're going to survive, 'cause the enemy is real. It's always been real.
And you say you can't defeat them without my armies and my dragons?
No, I don't think I can.
I will fight for you. I will fight for the North...when you bend the knee.
My people won't accept a southern ruler, not after everything they've suffered.
They will if their King does. They chose you to lead them, they chose you to protect them. Isn't their survival more important than your pride?
