The Black Wolf of The North

Beyond the Wall

We are now marching beyond the Wall looking for the Army of the Dead.

I looked at Gendry "You alright?" I asked him and he nods "Ever been north before?" Tormund asked him "Never seen snow before." Gendry replied "Beautiful, eh?" Tormund said as we kept on walking "I can breath again. Down south, the air smells like pig shit." Tormund commented "You've never been down south." Jon told him "I've been to Winterfell." Tormund replied "That's the North." Jon said to him "How do you live up here?" Gendry asked Tormund "How do you keep your balls from freezing off?" Gendry asked "You got to keep moving. Thats the secret. Walking's good, fighting's better, fucking's best." Tormund told him "Indeed." I commented "There's not a living woman within a hundred miles of here." Jon told Tormund "We have to make do with what we've got." Tormund said while looking at Gendry and I laugh "You alright there, Gendry?" I asked as we kept on walking "This one is maybe not so smart." Tormund said to us "Davos said he's a strong fighter." Jon replied "Good. Thats more important than being smart. Smart people don't come up here looking for the dead." Tormund said to us "So, you both met this Dragon Queen, huh?" Tormund asked us and we nod "And?" He asked us again "She'll only fight veside us if Y/N here bend the knee to her." Jon told him "You already learned a thing or two from us Free Folk." Tormund told me "Now you don't like kneeling." He said to me and I chuckle "I guess I did learn something from your people." I replied.

We kept on walking and walking deep into the cold empty land "You look just like him." Beric told me and I looked at him "Who's that?" I asked "Your father." He replied "You knew him?" I asked "Course I did. When he was Hand, he sent me off hunting for the Mountain." He informed me "He was a good man, your father." Beric commented "What are you fighting for, Beric?" I asked him as we walk "I fight for my people, for my family, what do you fight for?" I asked him and he smiled at me "Life." He replied and his face turned to a serious one "Death is the enemy. The first enemy and the last." He told me and I nod "But we all die in the end." I said to him and he smiled "The enemy always wins. And we still need to fight him. That's all I know." He told me "You and I won't find much joy while we're here, but we can keep others alive. We can defend those who can't defend themselves." He told me and I nod in agreement "Being the responsible one must always sacrifice for the sake of others." I said and he put a hand on my shoulder "Indeen." Beric replied as we continued walking.

The Hound then suddenly stopped "Thats what I saw in the fire." He told us while pointing at the mountain "A mountain like an arrowhead." He continued "Are you sure?" Thoros asked him and the Hound nods "We're getting close." He told us and we continued walking.

Now its about to be nightfall and a snow storm came but we kept on walking and Tormund suddenly saw something "Look!" He told us and he pointed at the distance and we looked at it seems to be a bear "A bear." The Hound said "Big fucker." He added and it seems to notice us "Do bears have blue eyes?" Gendry asked and the bear appears to be running at us. Our wildling guide was taken and we draw all our weapons "Stay close to each other." I told them "Watch each others backs." I added as we look around for the bear.

We then heard a roar and it took down another wildling, I charged and slashed it at its back but it just use its back hand to hit me and sends me flying "Y/N!" I heard Jon called me "I have him." The Hound said while draging me to safety "I got you, your grace." He said and I saw Thoros and Beric had flaming swords and charged at the bear. The bear hit Thoros and it brought him down, then it bites him in the back and toss him away. Beric slashed the bear and it set the bear on fire. The bear then looked at the Hound and charged at him, Thoros pushed the Hound away and got taken down by the bear "Thoros!" I shouted and I hit the bear again with my sword and it did nothing, the bear stood up on two of its feet and scratched be in the chest, the bear then turned back to Thoros and bit him in the chest and wag him around. Ser Jorah then stab the bear with an dragonglass knife and it was killed. Beric and Gendry pulled Rhoros away from the bear and Jon pulled me towards them. They checked our injuries, Thoros having the worst but the scratch in my chest is deep as well "We have to get them back to Eastwatch." Ser Jorah tol them Thoros shook his head "Flask." Thoros said and Beric gave him his Flask, Thoros then drinks "Are you alright?" Jon asked me as I look at my wound "I'm fine. I had worst. I think." I told him as I try to stand up "Don't." Jon told me as I wince in pain, Beric then put his flaming sword at Thoros chest to close the wound "You alright?" Beric asked him "I just got bit by a dead bear." Thoros replied and Beric smiled "Aye, you did." Beric replied "Funny old life." Thoros said and Beric turned to me "You ready, Your Grace?" He asked me and I nod "Do it." I replied and he puts his flaming sword to my chest as well and I almost shout in pain "There. You alright?" Beric asked and I chuckle a little "Never better." I told him and they helped us both up. We then looked at the dead bear tracks "Their close." I said as we look at the distance.
