STORMLANDS
A raven flies though the forest flying out over the ocean. The bird flies over the terrain passing overhead a man riding on a horse.
The man looks up watching the raven fly through the air; the man is revealed to be Blane Hunt, the Red Snake.
He gallops his horse faster riding forward as the camera pans above him showing Backton's Keep in the distance.
THE WALL
Alyssa is riding up the elevator up to top of the Wall, standing beside her is Cragen Stark.
Cragen: Winter is coming
Alyssa looks over to him, smiling
Alyssa: I know all about that, Lord Stark
Cragen: It is and will always be Cragen to you, darling.
Alyssa: The chill still shivers my bones
Cragen: This is only a late summer snow, my lady as you should know
Alyssa: In winter, it will cover all you see.
Cragen smiles at her, admiring her fondly, eyes trailing across her features.
Alyssa: It pleases me to think that over a century ago our ancestors treated in this very place with the Targaryens. The Conqueror, King in the North, and Lord Korb Gaston.
Cragen: You, at lease, had the mercy not to threaten me, my lady. Through I would not mind being threatening by the likes of you, darling.
A light blush forms on Alyssa's cheeks making her smile.
The lift comes to a screeching halt as Cragen opens up the door and the pair walks off the lift.
Crow: My Lady.
Alyssa looks up and down the wall in awe and amazement.
Alyssa: Surely the great Torrhen Stark would've sooner died then bent the knee. Unless he believed the Conqueror could bring unity to the Seven Kingdoms
Cragen: You forget it was your ancestor Korb was the one who convinced Torrhen to bend the knee, my lady. You are correct
Alyssa: That unity is now threatened. The realm will soon tear itself apart.......all because of Targaryen inner fighting along with their pride
Cragen: You speak with great wisdom, my lady
Alyssa: The oath men sworn to King Viserys and his rightful heir are now meaningless.
Cragen: Starks do not forget their oaths, my lady. Yes, we Starks did swear an oath to the Conqueror but the oath between our houses are much greater. Starks and Gaston has always and will always remain the truest of allies and friends. You must know that my gaze is forever town between north and south. In winter, my duty to the Wall is even more dire then the one I owe to Backton's Keep.
Alyssa: And I understand, my lord. You need your men here.
They stop and turns and looks at each other for a long moment
Cragen: But while I need my men here, I will bring them to your family's aid whenever you shall need, my lady
Alyssa smiles and bows her head
Alyssa: If the Hightowers plan to unsurp the throne and the Blacks at Dragonstone, the realm will be pulled into war. Untold innocents will lose their lives. If our family is to defend the innocents.....
They walk up a flight of steps
Alyssa: To attempt to hold the realm united, we need an army. Knightfall and Shipton has already promised their fighters to our cause. War is coming
