The wolf of the north

"Why do you have to be like that Ben, I had an entire plan for those spells you know, I was sure and now, I have options," I say in a depressed voice.

With mirth in his eyes, he says "I have to get my amusement somewhere, I know of your plans and I also know of your insecurity about trying to uplift the north, with my bargain even if all your knowledge is useless you will still be able to make the north a powerful independent kingdom, food is the pillar of every powerful civilization, no food no people, no people no armies and so on, besides the cold will still be a bitter and terrible enemy for any non-believers that invade the territory of the Firstman.

It will take blood to enchant the trees, just a cut on the arm of the lord of the land, and then mix with yours and then smear on the face of the biggest weirwood tree and it will start spreading its own magic on the land and fighting off the other's grip on the north.

"Wait a second I need the blood of the lord of the land, that makes things more difficult you know," I say to him

"Yes it does, you better make some good impressions on them." he smiles at me.

"Dick, I have some questions about the boons I receive, does it have to be from Dnd and GOT or other universes are in as well, can I choose to stack my proficiency and turn into a master of the craft or it has to be a different one every time, oh and can I make the effect of a spell permanent, like enchanting a place or an item to hold an effect. " I ask him

"so you want to stack your proficiency and turn it into expertise, interesting I can allow it, stack once you are good at it, stack it twice and you will be an expert, thrice you be a master on it, sounds fair no. "

"About the other question. no, you live in the world of ice and fire and you draw your power from dungeons and dragons, and that's it."

"About enchanting items with your spells I can give you this power but I will take something as well," he says to me in a serious tone.

"And what it would be," I ask in the same tone

"For the cantrips your right hand for the spells under 5th level, your eyes"

"what the actual fuck Ben," I say shocked and he shrugs

"I don't make the price I just tell you it is expensive, it's your choice and the offer is now forever open." he simply tell.

"Yeah Nah, I'm fine, but it's good to know, I take your bargain, im powerful but I can't fight the entire army of the dead and the walkers by myself I need a strong army and that means a strong north, the proficiency put twice on medicine."

"It's done, farewell Antares" he and the room fades to black.

And I am back with the green man I look at the Elder and say.

" I have spoken to them... would you like to see what they showed me?"

"If you are at liberty to share, yes," said the elder.

" I need a dagger and your help elder," the isle of faces answers to no kingdom making him the "lord" of this land, the old man gives a nod and looks to one of the elk riders, he dismounts pulling a small dagger from his belt, and gives it to me.

To not alarm them I cut my hand first and let the blood flow a little and offer the elder the dagger, he looks at the dagger and does the same with no hesitation, the other Greenman doesn't seem that happy about it though, I offer him my hand for a handshake and he does mixing our blood, then a pass my hand on the face on the weirwood tree.

The tree seems to groan and slightly shake as all the red leaves fall from it in rapid succession, and as the last fall new ones grow in their place, golden ones and the tree flourish once more the color on it more vibrant, I feel calm spread throw me, I fell tranquil like I am home, protected, watched for, I was never a believer in my other world but I can believe in this,

"It seems that you were blessed by the old gods young one, i Aldemir of the Greenman offer you my wisdom and my counsel, as a place in the isle" he bow a little

I bow back " I thank you for your offer Aldemir but must not remain here, for I am needed elsewhere but if you allow me I would like to carve a special circle here in the isle" I will put a teleportation circle here in the isle and let on the care of the Greenman, it stays for a year without someone destroying it, it will turn indestructible unless magic is involved.

"I have no qualms with it, blessed one" and I do exactly that after I finished with the circle my chalk is gone but it is done, I asked for some but they didn't have any, but I received a dagger and lots of medicinal herbs and some recreative ones as well and a pipe so not bad at all.

With my business done I say my goodbyes and flew away, Starchaser who was on another tree flew after, "huh I can look through her eyes right, if use her maybe I don't need min... nope, not going to give my eyes"

To test my new talents in medicine, to help my reputation, and to collect information I started helping villages around Seaguard, I present myself, help a village with some ailment they have, and I'm out two or three days later, and I do that while keeping tabs on the northern host, and it moves fucking slowly I went to the isle of faces and came back and they barely reached the Twins, but now they are on Seaguard, I'm staying on one of the satellite villages, one without a build sept on it, I been using more medical knowledge than magic but even then the septons that I found keep looking at me funny.

By the end of the week three riders with a Stark banner arrive at the village, Starchaser warned me, the starks cant conscript on other people's land, and the Tullys have taken the young and strong already with means they are here for something else, me.

"This powder is made of a medicinal plant, so you have to boil some water, that is important, put the powder on it, mix, wait to cool off, and give it to her before she goes to sleep," I tell the mother, right now im treating a little girl with a cold, the door of the house is open and I can see two of then waiting for me.

"I will take my leave, take care" the woman thank me as I leave the house and stand at my full height.

"So, what ails you, my friends," I say looking down at the man at arms.

"W-Were serching for a man with skills in healing for helping in the Rebellion," say's the one in the front he's 1,7 m(5'6ft) black hair and eyes, and wearing chainmail, leathers, and a sword on his hip.

"Well you found him, and I believe you are of Stark host that is in Seaguard, so let us move" they seem a little shocked at my quick compliance and eagerness, and I start moving towards the horses.

"If you kind ser's don't mind me asking how come you find me here"

"We ain't no knights milord, we all heard the rumors around here, ye know, a giant comes to where sickness grows, rip it from the people, and leaves," he says.

I have to laugh, I want to know if that came from Leon or simply the small folk taking. we arrived at the horses and he continues, there is one extra horse that I believe is for me.

"There are even talks about you being a wizard or a sorcerer of some kind," he tells me a little embarrassed.

"Is that so, and what do you and your companions believe? "I ask as I mount the horse.

"Horseshit, there is no sorcerer in this land, the Andals don't like magic," said the mounted one carrying the stark flag on his lance.

"Well, you're wrong about one of those things" I kick the side of my horse and he starts to move.

The village was not far from Seaguard but when we arrive there the army was already on the move embarking on the ships, it was probably mid-day and the army probably stayed one-two days in Seaguar, and now is preparing to sail, well time to meet the wolf lord.

my companions take me to a room on one of the towers on the port two guards on the door, one of them opens said door, as I look into the room there are two men inside, the one on another side of the table has a long face and long brown hair, and dark grey eyes, to his right is a clean-shaven tall and lean man with fierce blue eyes, they look at me and to each other the blued eyed one says to the other.

"Your man will be ready to sail by the end of the day, Lord Stark, I will make sure of it," he says as he prepares to leave

Lord Stark nods and says "Thank you for your support Lord Mallister."

As Lord Mallister leaves Ned gestures for us to enter, so we do.

"We brought to you, Lord... the healer Lord Stark he was in a close village," one of them says.

he nods and answers "I thank you for being swift about it, as Lord Mallister said we will be sailing before the day ends, you're dismissed"

he sits at his table and gesture for me to sit on a chair on the opposite side.

"Lord Stark, let's cut throgh the chase for I know the northern don't

appreciate the flowery speech, my name is Antares Palestars I offer you my services as a healer but I also offer you my counsel and my magic, im a practitioner of the arcane arts yes, one of great power, and if we going to work together in this war or beyond it we will need some measurement of trust so ask your questions, because I know you don't trust strangers " there is no point in hiding from him any of it really, I'm not a Stark so I can't rule the north, but if I can have the Lord Stark ear and trust then I can move pieces through the north besides is good to have someone that will not put a dagger in my back watching it.

"I appreciate your bluntness Palestars and I admit to being curious about your magic, if is the same to you I would ask you to demonstrate such magic," he says with a serious expression and voice.

I gently levitate his table with telekinesis and put it on the ground again then I then use thaumaturgy to unlit all torches and spread through the room three white pale dancing lights.

"I... see, your magic is certainly nothing like I expected" he widen his eyes a bit and his hand went to the pommel of his sword but the guy can keep a poker face like a pro.

"My magic is more let us say active than normal," I say to him

"Well I certainly would like to know more about but I have to ask first where the Palestars origin, from what I've seen you have a coat of arms and a family name but I don't recognize either of them."

"I am not a noble yet lord stark but I plan to change this as soon as we win this war the coat of arms the family name and the words are just me being prepared." I smile at him.

he scoffed lightly and I see a slight jerk in his mouth

"I see you are as boastful and sure of yourself as Umber already, you talk look, and act like a noble I certainly can see you as one, from where is the question," he says while looking at the lights.

"If you are offering I am accepting, I am being truthful and to the point please do the same Lord Stark, if you have an interest in having me as your vassal then tell me so, offer me an empty keep that you have an interest in seeing restored and prosperous and I will make it so." as I finish saying with a dry and serious tone lord stark give me a small smile and a nod.

"Aye I can see you fitting on the north, but you have to earn it, the other lords will have to see you as a boon to the north, so let's put you to the test, if you are able to make King Robert recognize your noble status then I shall give you the land to lord over," he says back to his serious tone

"Oh Lord Stark, you made this too easy." I smile again, oh yeah it's all coming together.
