*This chapter is unedited*


Dany felt the cold winds blow over her as she stood by the edge of the mountain top where she and her two dragons, Drogon and Rhaegal rested before they head north to meet the white wolf. The mountains of the vale was as beautiful as Tyrion said they would be though she thought he exaggerated about the cold which he didn't.  Her only warmth was the small campfire Drogon lit up for her from the small twigs and branches she found but they nearly melted when he blew fire on them. 

She took joy in seeing the great horizon before her eyes, miles and miles of land in every direction filled with beautiful places she's been told about though unfortunately the Vale and the Riverlands have already declared their loyalty to Jon Snow and Sansa Stark that is why she cannot visit them yet. 

Dany looked up and saw that the sun was already at it's peak. She kicked dirt into the campfire and let the embers fade away then climbed up on Drogon and great beast spread its wings, with one giant flap they lifted from the mountain top and headed off. Rhaegal followed them but flew lower than Drogon. 

While on the way, Dany recalled her conversation with Tyrion in the small council chamber about Jon Snow and the north which see means to have on her side to complete her rule. "Do you know him well?" she asked Tyrion. 

"I only know what I've seen in him and from what I've heard" he said as he wrote on a parchment. 

"Such as?"

"He's honorable just like his father and brother" He said as he dipped the quill for more ink, "Who are both dead because of that same honor"

"Except for him" She said. 

"I heard from Varys that the night's watch killed him because he let wildlings through the wall but a red priestess of Stannis brought him back"

"So he let enemies of the seven kingdoms flood the land without thinking of what might happen. And now he's king"

"No, he saved thousands of men, women and children from certain death. The wildlings had nothing to call their own for centuries and now he gave them freedom, true freedom and the chance to choose how to live their lives and the only thing he asked of them is they have to fight for a cause that will benefit the many and not just the few" He stopped writing for a moment, "Reminds me of a certain someone if you ask me" 

He did not look at her but if he did, he would've seen the big smile on her face but disappeared quickly. 

"He's king because he's a stark, not by name but by blood and by deed. He put an end to a house of traitors and skin lovers. Most of all winter has come and I'm not talking about snows alone but they say the white walkers have returned and Jon Snow has fought them and lived to tell the story"

"It maybe all nonsense"

"Perhaps but he has nothing to gain by spreading lies nor would it help his people"

"So you believe him?"

"I've been to the wall" He stopped writing and looked at her dead in the eye, "I know that our ancestors would never waste time and resources building a colossal wall just to keep starving men, women and children out. They built that thing to keep someone or something very powerful from coming in"

"Then I'll go see for myself and find out the truth"

"You should and do bring a coat. I imagine it's ten times colder there now than it was when I visited the wall"

His words echoed in her head many times before they faded then she wondered if everything that she had worked for and all she has done would simply vanish because of some powerful being beyond a wall that she has never seen. 

They flew over a great swamp and bogs, she saw a castle with the stark banner over it. This must be moat Cailin, she thought. Drogon and Rhaegal circled the castle twice before moving on. She intended to let them know she has arrived. For a few more hours she flew farther north but as the sun began to set, she looked for a place to spend the night and found a mountain top just by barrowton. 

For days she flew over the north, taking longer routes to avoid getting too near to Winterfell. She flew and flew till she reached the wall, how her eyes grew wide and in awe of the wall's shear size. She thought of the great pyramid of Meereen that towered over everything. Drogon's warmth was the only comfort she had as she stood on the freezing wall, looking over a much a greater horizon to what looked like the end of the world then she realized the view just kept on going and going. She looked at Rhaegal and thought no wonder people call the night's watch crows, anyone that stands up here look like crow looking down from a tree branch. 

Before anyone could notice and before her feet freezes onto the wall, she left and headed down to White Harbor where she saw Theon's fleet docked and the army encamped outside but she still saw the banner of house Manderly on the city walls. 

She set down just outside the city where she is immediately greeted by Theon's outriders and they escorted her back to camp while the dragons flew away but she knew they'll do no harm to the people. The soldiers in the camp poured around and greeted her, Theon showed himself later and showed her to her tent where Lady Olenna and Lady Manderly awaited her. 

"My Queen" Lady Olenna bowed but Lady Manderly did not, she only stood up. 

"Please sit down" Dany said to them, "Sorry to have kept you waiting"

"It is fine my dear" Lady Olenna said, "Will you now go Winterfell?"

"Yes, I must see the King in the North. We have much to discuss" Dany looked at Lady Manderly. 

"We have a problem with the supply train" Theon said.

"What is it?"

"We brought too much supplies and we don't have enough carts to bring them all to Winterfell"

"You mean to stay here long?" Lady Manderly asked, Dany couldn't tell if her face was relieved or worried. 

"I do, but do not worry I did not come here to spill blood" She gave a reassuring smile to Lady Manderly. "I have an idea, leave half of our supplies here in White Harbor under the protection of Lady Manderly herself and as a sign of good faith. Half of that would be given as a gift to the people"

Lady Manderly's eyes widened suddenly and was speechless. "Are you sure my dear? If something were to happen it would take weeks for the next shipment to arrive" Lady Olenna asked.

"Then send half the fleet to pick up the rest and also get the shipments I ordered from Essos that should quicken our supply shipments. And Ser Jorah is also bringing more supplies for us either way"

"Ser Jorah has already taken Moat cailin, there were only twenty men in the castle when he arrived, Jon recalled most of his men back to Winterfell" Theon said. 

"He's preparing for a fight" Lady Olenna added. Lady Manderly's face turned grim.

"Do not be afraid Lady Manderly. I did not come seeking blood for I believe there is a greater war we must face"





*Author's note*

Thank you for reading! I hope you comment and vote, I'd like to know if you liked it or not. 

Do take note of the time that passed during the entire chapter. Because it might get confusing although I think flying via dragon is faster than horse so it could be possible that Dany went to and back from the wall in just a couple of weeks. Just ask if you have questions, I'll be happy to explain. 

Also Follow me and I will follow you back. And if you want me to read your works I'd be happy to

Next chapter will be posted in a few days which will be Jon's part. :D
