I walked through the corridors going to the reports from Essos, and it seems that Deanerys was going through a crisis, but we would see what she does.

It has been a month since the weddings, and I could confirm that both me and Margaery I are pregnant.
We all had talked and agreed that it would be safer for Margaery and Olenna, along with the other woman and children, were to go to Mount Cailin.

I would stay and command the rear guard even though everyone wanted me to go to Mount Cailin, but I am the champion of the gods, and my place was with my people.
Willas and Jaime tried their hardest to get me to go, but they knew I could not.
It was a hard goodbye for everyone as I did not know if I would see my sons again, but I knew the guard would take care of them.
Arya chose to stay, and I was glad for it because I knew in my heart she would help deliver the final blow to the night king.

The location of the wall that was chosen was to the furthest point away from any hold, which was Shadow Tower.
After the battle, at some point, what the Targaryens gave as the gift would be made into two new households.
We spent over a month relaying traps near and around the wall.
We hand more men and women coming north with any battle experience to fight the army of the undead.

We had spent time fitting the dragons that were able to fight with Valyrian steel armour, and we trained the dragons to follow certain sounds and commands to the few they would listen to of non Valyrian blood

I could feel the night king draw closer as the days passed and tried my best to draw him to the shadow tower.
He seem captivated by me which helped because in order for his conquest, he had to kill me but I did not tell me family this because they would of forced me to leave and I needed to be here or he would go to East watch.
While it is defenced it has a high number of people living there but we have set traps and have people around the wall in case the fucker trys tonget some of his white walkers through there.
I have managed to create a version of a grenade but with wildfire and I know they would struggle to get through that.

Our navy forces were manning the water but not getting to close as to the attention of the white walkers.
It was a week later that I felt him at the shadow tower, we had positioned everyone were they would be the most effective.

I gave the signal and we blew a hole into the wall making everything shake.
We stayed in our positions and waiting.
It was eerie at how quiet it was, there was nothing but your own breathing and the cold in hr air getting colder as the minutes passed.
After about another twenty minutes we hear noises coming from the hole then a flood of the dead came roaring through and I knew this was it.

"First Line GO!"

I commanded and the first line of traps activated and they wiped out the dead in mere moments.

"BE READY!"

We heard the yells of rage and another flood came through but with about three white walkers.

"Second Line GO!"

I shouted and the second traps activates taking out more of the dead and two of three white walkers.

"Archers one to ten Fire."

They shout out deagon glass arrows and hit the white walker dead on shattering it to pieces.

That was when the ground shook and  the dead came in waves then and some from under ground.

"GO deploy the traps."

I saw the other traps activated taking out a large chunk of the dead and another white walker which also took out a chuck of the dead.
Through it all I could see the night king walking through and then I sent the signal and the Jeahaerys with the dragons came down and burned the dead and some of the white walkers.
The direwolfs were ripping through the armys of the dead and protecting any living person.

I could see the night king sending a spear in the air but it bounced off the armour of the dragons.
He tried again and once again it bound off, to get his attention of the dragons I threw a wildfire fire bomb shich destroy the white walkers next to him but he was only a little damaged , he turned then and saw me.
The look of rage I never thought I would see was looking me me and he started to march towards me and so did  what was left of the dead.

I could see my father, Willas, Jaime and my winter guard fighting to destroy the dead I knew this was it and I had to fight for my family, my people and my life.

I drew my Valyrian sword and started marching towards him as he was to me, I slew the dead thst came at me taking them down with practiced ease.
We had people picking them up and throwing them into the fires we had prepared and dragon fire still burning.

As we approached each other he threw his spear at me which I grabbed and destroyed with my sword, which only enraged him further.

He pulled a sword and our swords met in the middle, he had the strength but I was just as fast as him, I slashed my sword down into him and rolled behind him, he turned but I took out his legs but he just managed to roll before I could catch him with my sword.

We battled each other for what felt like hours but in reality it was mere minutes and he managed to remove my sword and I fell to the floor, I moved my hand to my dagger but his sword stopped me.

He looked at me with a smirk but paused and lifted his head and arm and caught Arya before she could plunge her dagger into his chest.

"No man can defeat me."

Arya and I looked at each other while I grabbed me dagger and he looked me.

"We are no men."

He moved then faster than he could men plunger are daggers into his e
Chest one from the front and the other from the back meeting in the middle.

He dropped his sword letting it shatter and then so did he while dropping Arya, I grabbed her and pulled her away.
We saw the dead start to fall to the ground and everyone were just looking and saw me and Arya standing.

"The night king has been defeated. The Living HAVE WON."

After a moments silence everyone screamed for joy, because ethey had done it.
They have defeated the dead and saved the land of thr living.

"We will burn the dead and sat fair well to all those that lost their lives today. Then we will celebrate and remember their sacrifice. LET THEIR BE PEACE."

Everyone yelled for joy and the dragons and direwolfs joined in as well.

I looked over everyone with a smile and then pulled Arya closer to me, she looked at me with a smile and I knew we would be okay.
I saw our father standing there with ICE look at us with pride and my husband along with my lover looking at me with adoration and awe.

"FOR THE NORTH"

"FOR THE NORTH"

everyone repeated and I smiled with my sword into the air.

"FOR THE LIVING"

"FOR THE LIVING"

"FOR OUR FAMILIES"

"FOR OUR FAMILIES"

Everyone repeated this and I smiled again before I saw Lord Karstark and his eldest son looked at me with pride before shouting.

"TO THE FUTURE QUEEN OF THE NORTH"

Everyone repeated it, even Jeahaerys and they all took a knee to me which brought tears to my eyes before gathering myself and yelling.

"FREEDOM"

My family joined me and we stood together then joined everyone in cleaning because winter was coming and we needed to prepare.
