FIRE AND ICE - ROBB STARK X TARGARYEN OC

Preparations Part 2

After Rhaenya and Daenerys picked up the two dragon eggs, they took them to the main ship, where they asked for two bronze and casted iron pots. Inside they had kohle burning to keep the eggs warm. They had decided that each would take an egg. Dany had chosen the red and cream one, while Rhaenya had kept the lavander grey one with black accents.

"I guess Lisyon is a she-dragon." Dany commented to her niece as the two waited for the ships to sail.

"Hmm. And i am guessing that now her crying when Rhaegal was in dungeons makes more sense." Rhaenya said, causing the two to smile at one another.

Olyos boarded the ship, spotting the two rulers. "Ahh. There they are. I've heard from Rickon, you two are going to be stunning grandmothers." He laughed, making Dany roll her eyes as she smiled.

"Yes. And we heard you just love the dothraki." Rhaenya jested about how Olyos seemed both afraid and enamored with the men of Dany's hoard.

Olyos flushed at the comment and jumped to defend himself. "Hey. Those aren't men. They are what men aspire to become. I swear all the muscles in my body only make for one of their necks."

Some time later, all the seven dragons fly over the assembled Dothraki, ironborn, Dornishmen, and Unsullied fleet of House Targaryen. Both Rhaenya and Daenerys, clad in Targaryen black, stand on the deck of the flagship with Tyrion, Missandei, Olyos,Rickon, Ser Arthur and Varys, looking ahead to the journey that will take them home. Where they will fight for the for the Iron Throne.

After reaching the Citadel with Gilly, Sam had been assigned to menial labor in the Citadel, from sorting books in the library to serving meals to the other maesters and even latrine duty, making the Tarly man himself growing increasingly impatient with the daily repetition.

One day, after seeing another maester entering a gated section of the library, Sam asks Archmaester Ebrose about the Long Night while helping with a dissection, since very few people in the South believe the White Walkers exist. While Ebrose doesn't doubt Sam's awareness of the Walkers, he does assure him that the beginning of this winter is not the end of the world and reminds him of the importance of healthy skepticism.

Nevertheless, after stealing some books from the forbidden section of the library, Sam does research with Gilly at her new home, discovering that an abundance of dragonglass exists on Dragonstone, and writes to Jon to inform him. The next day, while collecting bowls from the sick cells, he is stopped by a patient, with an arm covered in greyscale, who asks him if Rhaenya Targaryen, the Dragon Queen, has arrived, but Sam claims not to know.

He is also present when the same patient is deemed unable to treat by Ebrose, and that he has six months before the greyscale takes over his mind. Sam then reminds Ebrose of Shireen Baratheon's treatment of the condition, but Ebrose counters that her maester, Cressen, only managed to stop the spread early, and while she was still at a young age.

Once Ebrose leaves, Sam asks if there is any family he should write to, to which the patient introduces himself as Jorah Mormont, and that his family forgot about him a long time ago. Sympathetic to his Lord Commander's son, Sam later asks if he can try to heal Jorah using a procedure developed by Archmaester Pylos, but Ebrose advises against it; due to the dangerous nature of the operation to both sides, it was declared forbidden, emphasizing that Pylos himself died as a result of contracting Greyscale.

Undaunted, Sam decides to treat Jorah and secretly visits his quarters after dark. He tells Jorah, "You're not dying today," reveals himself to be a sworn brother of the Night's Watch, that he served under Jorah's father, the late Lord Commander Jeor Mormont and was present when he died. Sam gives Jorah rum to drink after taking a fortifying swig himself, telling him that the process will be painful. Sam also provides Jorah with a mouthguard so he can focus on biting down on it to help muffle his screams, as he explains that he's performing the procedure without permission. Sam's plan involves using a scalpel to separate and cut away Jorah's infected skin and then applying ointment to the exposed layer, though Jorah gives him a look that tells Sam he shouldn't bother trying to explain it to him. Despite experiencing the pain of having a patch of greyscale skin debrided, Jorah nods his consent for Sam to continue the debridement.
