Full scene of Rhaegar and Lyanna at the Tower of Joy, seeing the red comet and conceiving Jon Snow ☄️ (The Tower of Joy, at night. Lyanna is sitting on the ground in the center of the stage, next to a small fire pit, reading prophetic scrolls and looking very focused and concerned. Rhaegar walks on stage, and Lyanna turns her head towards him) Lyanna: Each step we take from our destiny leads us right towards it. It’s all true. (Gets up, still holding the scrolls) Our lives have been entwined by the gods. They foresaw this very night! Rhaegar: The mind will make meaning if it be too eagerly sought. There's no more motive in these scrolls than in the haphazard wandering of dust motes. Is not this enough? These small rooms, our humble tower of joy. You, you are the whole world! Lyanna: (Pointing at the scrolls) The song of ice and fire, and here again, “song”. But at the end, it is not “song”, but “dream”! Rhaegar: High Valyrian, it's nothing if not poetic. Prophecy appears in songs and dreams. It means nothing more. Come back to bed. Lyanna: The dragon must have three heads. The third “dreamed” under a bleeding star… It means conceived. (Walks towards Rhaegar) The prince that was promised is not a song, or a dream, but a child. (Gently takes hold of Rhaegar’s arm) Of ice and fire. (Pause. Rhaegar snatches the scrolls from Lyanna’s hands and throws them in the fire pit) Rhaegar: No. NO! I wasted my life on these riddles! It near made me mad, as it did my ancestors, seeing conspiracies in shadows, promises in fire! Lyanna: Rhaegar, please- Rhaegar: If it be true, then all this must end. Don't you understand that the cold darkness will bring nothing but death, the end of all life? Lyanna: The promised prince will save us. Our child will save us! Rhaegar: We have no child! There has been no red comet above us. (Lyanna walks towards Rhaegar and takes his hands, guiding him to one of the doors) Lyanna: Look, Rhaegar. Your life was not wasted. My father's life, my brother's, every nameless soldier. I asked for a sign, and the gods have answered undeniably. (Lyanna walks to and opens the door, which lets in a flood of bright red light, to indicate a red comet has appeared. Rhaegar, who is a few feet away, looks at the open door in shock, and begins walking towards it slowly, almost as if in a trance. Lyanna walks back to him and takes his hand, smiling. They gaze at each other for a moment. Rhaegar looks up. They then walk towards the red light together, holding hands. They exit the stage. Scene ends.) ✐ᝰ sulka_art
