Speculation Thread: Oberyn lives!

Season 5

A few changes: Jaime and Bronn are not needed in Dorne. This will allow the Riverlands plot to work better into the flow of the show. Also I am trying to keep it close to what happened in the show and the themes involved. I may not agree with them but I am simply endeavoring for them to make sense. Gods help me. So yes that means Doran is going to die for being a weak and incompentent ruler... and I hate it.

Oberyn, Ellaria, and Tyrion make it down to Dorne. We are introduced to Prince Doran, Trystane, and Hotah. We are reintroduced to Princess Myrcella. We get a tearful reunion between Tyrion and Myrcella. Tyrion sees that Trystane and Myrcella are in love and isn't that nice?

After Myrcella, Tyrion, and Trystane leave we get another scene. Oberyn is pleased about the events in King's Landing. The Mountain is dead, Tywin is dead, Joffrey is dead, and the Lannisters are in disarray. It's time to finish the job and destroy House Lannister. Doran disagrees, citing they don't have the strength to stand against the Lannisters and Tyrells. Oberyn disagrees, vehemently citing that Varys reports that Cersei and Marge hate each other and are fighting over the King. Hotah steps in front of Doran and Oberyn gives him a look as Ellaria guides him away.

Myrcella and Trystanne are playing a game of Cyvasse and Tyrion comments that she is adept at the game. Myrcella is pleased and asks about the rest of the Lannister family. Tyrion pauses awkwardly and yes that Jaime, Cersei, and Tommen all miss her greatly. They receive a raven that Cersei wants Myrcella to return to King's Landing. Myrcella says no because she loves Trystanne.

Back in King's Landing we see Myrcella's letter and Cersei flips her shit. She sends a letter back to the Dornish demanding the return of her daughter or else.

Doran receives Cersei's response while Oberyn receives a letter from Varys about Qyburn's experiments on the Mountain. Varys also indicates that Dany has settled in Mereen and its time to get in touch. Doran and Oberyn meet alone. Doran says they have to return Myrcella. Oberyn says they can have her when they send them the Mountains head. Doran is hesitant but agrees to Oberyn's plan. Oberyn goes to Tyrion and tells him of Dany and her dragons. He talks Tyrion into sailing to Mereen.

Cersei refuses the deal for the Mountains head. Doran yields and agrees to send Myrcella back to King's Landing. Oberyn and Doran fight again over this decision. Oberyn calls him weak and doesn't he remember Elia, Aegon, and Rhaenys? Oberyn says Dorne stands with me and war and departs.

Tyrion and Myrcella both depart on the same day. They share a tearful farewell. Tyrion asks Myrcella to tell Jaime that he is sorry. Myrcella asks about what and Tyrion says Jaime will know. Tyrion departs on one ship and Myrcella and Trystanne on another.

Hotah goes to wake up Doran Martell and finds him dead of poison. He heads to the throne room to find Oberyn on the throne. Oberyn tells him that Doran died peacefully in his sleep just like he would have wanted. Hotah asks if he killed Doran. Oberyn brushes off the question. You serve the Prince of Dorne, serve me as you would have my brother and all will be well.

Hotah roars and charges the throne. Oberyn stands and grabs his spear. Cue epic fight... which Oberyn wins but Hotah puts in a good showing. As Hotah lays dying he asks again why. Vengeance, justice, fire and blood. My brother was a weak man and a weak man will never again rule in Dorne.

We seer Oberyn crowned Prince of Dorne with Ellaria at his side and the masses of Sunspear chanting his name.

End Season 5.

Its a rough draft but what does everyone think?
