The Tides of Fire and Ice (A Game Of Thrones Story)

Castle Black

(Yayyyyy we're finally back to episode numbers, and This is the end of Season 3 which means 3 more seasons to go)

Maliya's pov

It was very early and very cold as I rode behind the three men who I met yesterday. "We'll reach Castle Black by noon at this rate come on boy's pick it up." The man who I came to know as Yoren, the man who didn't fight me last night said.

I sped up knight and rode to the side of Yoren. He smiled "Eager to impress I see." He said, I just kind of smirked and shook my hear. "Didn't think ye where that type, you'll do well with the brothers, hell boy you might even become Lord Commander one day." He said I shook my head

"Yer to humble boy, then again I guess a Lord Commander who's mute isn't a good commander." He said, I smiled and nodded my head. He chuckled he continued to talk as I began to zone out.

It had been a very long journey, and things haven't gone as planned and I don't ever expect that to change, adapting has been the most difficult part. I have a feeling that seeing Jon again won't be as I expect it. I have to keep my cover identity or I could get us both killed.

Am I going to have to keep away from Jon? And what about this man who claimed to be my father to be honest I am not sure if I should believe the things that my father, or who ever that man was said to me.

Having magic? better yet a whole family having magic seems strange to me. And if I do have magic then why has is never... appeared or something like that. I think all kids dream of being wizards but now... magic is not real... at least not anymore.

I took a moment from my thoughts to look around. It was surprisingly beautiful... in a, if you mess up out here you'll die horribly, sort of way. It was charming to say the least

The sky was gray, the air is cold. The grass on the ground was a grayish brown color and spots of snow covered the land.

I looked forward to see the walls of castle black and the daunting ice wall that stood precariously behind it, as we got closer the cold grey stone of castle black seemed to match the land it was built on.

We rode up the the big wooden doors "Open the gates!" A man shouted. "Welcome to your new home Mikal." Yoren said.

Castle Black was smaller than I expected, the wall however was much larger up close than my mind had imagined it to be. I shivered, much colder that I expected as well.

"Get off yer horse, and lets go there is someone you have to go see." Yoren said practically yanking me off knight. I felt as if all eyes where on me. I hopped off knight and followed Yoren into a building.

The room was dimly lit. There was a table at one of the ends of the room, sitting at it was an older man, his hair was as white as snow, but his eyes where not quite right. "Maester Aemon." Yoren said. "Ahhh, Yoren. How may I help you?" He said.

"We have found Mikal White." Yoren said "Ohhh the mute boy that Robb Stark sent to us... It is nice to meet you Mikal." He said his voice was kind but slightly shaky. He motioned me to come over to him. I looked up at Yoren "Go." He said pushing me forward.

Maester Aemon reached his hand out, I genitally took his hand. "Yoren, you may leave I wish to speak to Mikal alone." Aemon said, I looked back at Yoren who just shrugged and walked out.

Once the door closed Maester Aemon spoke "It's not too often you get a woman who can fool a bunch of men into thinking she is a man." He said

I tensed up "Don't worry your secret is safe with me, I may be blind but I know a woman's touch, also a man who claimed to know you came by a few days ago and told me that you would be coming. He wanted you to be able to talk to me while you are here." He said.
