End Game// Tormund Giantsbane (3)

51. Visions

'That's what I saw in the fire' sandor told them 'Mountain Like an arrowhead' Sandor said pointing at the mountain ahead of them.

''Are you sure?' Jon question

"Yes, we are getting close.' Sandor confirmed. They continued on their journey, that when they heard the grumbling of a creature ahead of them.

'That's a bear a big bear' one of the men said as they got closer,

'do bears have blue eyes like that?' Tormund questioned cautiously.

But it wasn't a bear or if it was it was mutated and large and it charged at them. They formed a circle and tried to fight it back, the beast kept charging towards them. they drew their swords, beric, and thoros's sword on fire smashing it into the monster but that didn't stop it,. The bear now ran at them burning on fire and it kept moving and kept charging at them Sandor froze. the flaming beast getting closer. Tormund seeing tje petrified state lf sandor pushed him out of the way of the fiery beast.

They hit the beast, they stabbed him but the beast would not go down it ripped into them tearing them apart. Getting on top of thoros it took a bite out of him, shaking him as he bit into him. Finally Jon stabbed a dragon glass into him and he collapsed to the ground. Beric pulled thoros away pulling his clothes to see the damage.

'we have to get him to east watch' jorah told him. Thoros shook his head.

'go on.' He said after a sip. Beric cauterized the wound with his burning blade. Thoros gripped Tormunds hand tight through the pain.

'Are you alright?' beric asked

'I just got bit by a big old dead bear' thoros responded with a pained laugh.

'You sure did.' Beric said helping him up. 'And survived to tell the tale.' Beric added. They helped Thoros walk, Sandor didn't see how he could survive this, but he trudged forward still.

As they continued on their journey the mountain getting closer and closer to Sandor's vision, Tormond stopped them hearing something ahead, unnatural noises. they peered down to see the army of the dead walking their pace slow as their swords and boots dragged on the ground

'Where's the rest of them?' jon questioned only seeing a dozen or so.

'We kill enough of them we are going to find out.' Tormond said grinning widely.

They attacked the group of white walkers it didn't look good but they were doing better against the white walkers than the white walker bear. They were fighting and fighting, they wouldn't go down their fighting was useless.

But tormund and Jon had fought them before. Jon killed the leader and the rest crumbled to nothing but ice except for one. one remained thrashing and screaming and kicking this would be the one they brought back to Kings Landing. this would be the one they gave to cersei to show her that this war needed to be stopped until the real enemy was killed.

It screamed and screamed so sandor put a hand over his mouth but part of its skin came off in his hand

'Fuck' he screamed shaking off white walker goo.

They heard the marching of approaching soldier, more than this time, and fast approaching.

'Tell Daenerys and Tyrion what we found go!' Jon told Gendry. 'You are the fastest.' Jon told him. Gendry turned to leave, but Tormund grabbed his weapon.

"You're faster without the hammer. Give it! Give it!" Tormund instructed. Gendry took off, back to the wall, they had the proof, all they needed was to make it back to them alive.

Sandor being the biggest and the strongest carried the bound white walker on his back, they made a run for it the army of the dead hundreds possibly thousands of them quickly approaching but they came to an iced over river. Their feet started to break the ice as they moved, walkers crumbled into the water as their little spot of sanctuary got smaller but they were safe. But there were so many white walkers the army of the dead circled around them. They were trapped now with thousands of white walkers surrounding them on all sides they were safe for the moment but they were trapped all the same.

Caro had never seen Bran while in a vision. She tried to wake him up confused when Rickon came in with some food.

"Don't worry." Rickon told her and she looked up to him.

"Don't worry?" Caro countered. "What's happening?"

"He has the sight, he tell you that?" Rickon asked nonchalantly as though Bran wasnt in a slightly comatose state.

"The three eyed raven... yeah... He did..." Caro agreed slowly. "but..."

"He goes elsewhere in his mind." Rickon remarked. "I dont really understand it but then he comes back and he's fine."

"O... kay..." Caro agreed staring down at Bran. "How long does he usually?"

"Different each time." Rickon remarked. "He used to be in and out quick but I think he's gotten better at it since I last saw him." Rickon held out an apple for her. "Eat." he instructed. She took it from him, turning it in her hands but she stared down at Bran. She felt a wave of nausea wash over her the longer stayed like that.

"Auntie..." Rickon said reaching over Bran and touching her arm. "He's okay."

"Where does he go? How does he..."

"He went into Summer before, ravens to I think but before that was more accidental." Rickon remarked.

"And he just... sees what they see? Controls them?"

"Both." Rickon offered.

"What do you think he's looking at?" Caro asked.

"Could be anything." Rickon remarked. Rickon watched her worried face as she stared down at Bran. "Could be anywhere in westeros. Maybe anywhere in the whole world. What a life." Rickon remarked. "Auntie... he is going to be alright." Rickon assured. She nodded looking to Rickon. "Tumi was looking for you, I will let her know you will see her soon." Rickon suggested jumping up. "I will be right back."

She looked like a bundle of nerves as she stared down at Bran waiting for him to open his eyes.

Caro sat beside him as Ghost curled up at Bran's feet, waiting for him to come back to his true self. She trailed fingers over his hair, brushing it from his eyes when she felt his hand wrap around her. She lifted her head and stared down at him as he blinked back.

"You scared me." Caro whispered hugging him tight.

"I'm sorry." Bran pulled her closer finding comfort in the familiar touch.

"What did you see?" Caro asked kissing him temple.

"They found the walker. Now all they need is a bit of help getting it out." Bran remarked.

"Tormund..."

"He's okay." Bran assured.
