Arya Stark POV

Arctican Realm, lands beyond the wall, 295 AC, 3 years later.

-----------------------------------------

Three years had brought significant changes to the Arctic, a thought that lingered in the minds of most of the population who were here at that time, Arya was one of those people. When she caught sight of the kingdom from a distance with its city under construction and a great weirwood more beautiful and larger than any she had seen before, displaying its red leaves, strengthened trunk, and practically covering half of the city with its 70-meter shadow, she could hardly believe what she was seeing.

Looking beyond the city, things did not stop enchanting her; she saw a large field used for the kingdom's cultivation, with a vast space with all kinds of things planted and ready to be harvested while people looked like ants working in these fields, there were colors there she had never seen in a fruit or vegetable from afar.

Then there were the great forests where Jon said she was within the kingdom for a reason, housing thousands of animals like the giant wolves, common wolves, bears, and shadow cats, each with its territory with some prey animals breeding in them for the residents to have food.

As they approached the city with their group while people were coming out to greet them, it seemed like a big party, and a man in armor on a horse appeared in front of Jon, wearing armor like in Sansa's stories, Arya knew this was Ducken, one of Jon's first friends he brought from the northern realm below the wall.

After they talked for a bit, Jon instructed the people who came up to him to relocate all the new population and get them acquainted with the kingdom. They began to conduct, and many more people came to greet Jon, they seemed quite happy at that moment.

"I never imagined such a place could exist..." Arya heard Ygritte speaking beside her.

"Let me introduce my sisters later, they will be shocked I came on this trip hidden, I hope they weren't too worried about my disappearance." Wind spoke on the other side excitedly.

"By the gods, look at the little men! I was getting used to seeing 500 of them, but here there are thousands!!" Tormund shouted, pointing to the dwarfs, there were a bunch of them laughing and shouting in the distance, at least about 5,000 of them, it was a scene that even Arya was quite stunned by.

"The boy really knows how to surprise..." Old Nan commented in the cart next to her grandson.

"Hodor...."

"He built a great kingdom, in a place where no one else could, this boy is truly blessed by the gods..." Maester Aemon commented while stroking Eragon in his lap, looking admiringly at the kingdom.

Now closer to the city, behind the crowd that came to greet them, Arya noticed the houses under construction of a very different type than she knew, to start with is that the "common people" of the Arctic had houses made of stones, something that only nobles and very rich people could have in the kingdom to the south of the wall, with large houses and their castles. Moreover, the constructions were so beautiful that they would make anyone envious, and she knew this was a talent of the dwarves.

Jon had mentioned that in the beginning, the houses were made of wood when they were a settlement, but with a discovery, he developed a greyish adhesive land, called cement, much more reinforced than they used in Westeros to create their castles, making everyone in the Arctic have their mini castles.
