Plans

When they got back to cave after burning the four Thenns, Bjorn asked Ygritte "Hey. Do you think that raiding and pillaging is all we should do?"

"That's what our ancestors did, so we are doing it the same way they're doing." Ygritte replied as she bit down the grilled meat.

Shaking his head he said "I'm asking whether you want to live a life where raiding, pillaging and raping or not."

Thinking for a bit she asked "If we don't raid and pillage, how can we live?"

"I don't know farming? Trading? Everything that is not just robbing other people." Bjorn listed out.

"How can we farm in this place where the soil is frozen over? How can we trade when there aren't any traders here? And how else should we be living?" Ygritte asked question after question, because all her life it's all about who had more strength.

"We can farm in warmer places, we can trade with people other than people from South of the Wall, we could live as a mercenary." Bjorn listed out things that they could do.

She looked at him weirdly and said "Did you fall on the ground when you were born?"

Breathing out he asked her "If I said that we will be leaving to another place to become mercenary, will you come with me or will you stay here."

Squinting her eyes Ygritte said "Whatever you do, I'll be with you, even if you want to become the King-Beyond The Wall. But if you think we should join the kneelers then I'll cut your bits."

"If you threaten me again, I'll chop off your limbs." Bjorn told her while flaring his nose.

Smiling at him, Ygritte asked "So what are we going to do for starters?"

With a gleam in his eyes, he said "For starters, we are going to find people who would like to join us, I only need twenty now. After training them, we are going to eliminate the cannibals among the Free Folk."

Ygritte's eyes went wide and she asked him "Are you going to start a clan?"

"A clan doesn't sound bad, but there will be rules. Only the ones who will agree to the rules can join the clan. Even for you." Bjorn said.

"You think us free folk will agree to join a clan that will rule over us?" Ygritte asked with venom in her eyes.

Chuckling, Bjorn said "I'm going to provide the tools to farm, weapons to hunt, clothes to wear. And if you think that I would hand them out for free, then you all have a screw loose in your head."

"A what?" Ygritte asked when she heard an unknown word.

"Forget it." Saying so, Bjorn went out of the cave to start the fire as it was already getting dark and took out the deer skull to make a mask out of it while craving it to fit him rather than crafting it using his powers.

Couple of minutes late, Ygritte came outside and huddled close to Bjorn and asked "What were the rules you were talking about?"

Taking a deep breath he said "There are only five rules. Rule number one, clan member will not rob, pillage, kidnap and rape. Rule number two, defend the clan territory from our enemies with their life on the line. Rule number three, if you want to bed a women or men, first ask for their permission. Rule number four, no one is allowed to bed someone they are related to for seven generations. Rule number five, be honest within the clan."

Closing her eyes, Ygritte snuggled close to Bjorn and asked "Why do you want to stop our age old customs and tie us down with rules?"

Shrugging his shoulder, he said "We can be free as we want, but one man's freedom ends where another's begin."

"What does that mean?" Ygritte asked him while scrunching here face in confusion, as she didn't understand the meaning of what Bjorn said.

Breathing out he said "Which means, that my freedom will end if I try to impose it on another one."

"Then aren't you imposing it on your future clan members?" Ygritte asked him.

Shaking his head, he said "I am giving them the freedom to choose to join my clan or not. I won't pressure them into joining my clan if they don't want to. You are also free to do as you like, you can either join my clan or leave."

"Mmmmhmm." Humming to his statement, Ygritte stood up from her sitting position and went back into the cave.

Bjorn just sat before the fire and started to envision a mercenary group under his leadership, "Just like The Myrmidons." Bjorn muttered to himself.

As he was thinking about his second life and plans for the future, he heard some noise from the surroundings. Squinting his eyes, he took his short sword in his hand and looked towards the source of the noise. He noticed a person with pale skin walking around, circling the camp fire but not coming closer. Observing all that, he concluded "The wights are here huh? There are six of them, I can take them out easily. But let's start to make the presence of the wights known to the world."

Standing up from his position, he took the deer skull mask he had created and put it on. Taking a deep breath, he started to move towards the direction of the wall while making some noises to attract the wights away from the cave where Ygritte is staying.

As he reached the edge of the campfire light, he observed his surroundings, and saw that there were four wights following him. Nodding his head, he ran forward as fast as he could, and the four wights started to run after him, but they were much slower than him.

Making sure that they were away from the camp for a good distance, Bjorn made his way back to the camp to kill the two wights. As soon as he saw them, he threw both his swords at their heads. When the swords plunged into them, they crumbled into dust because of the effect of dragonglass fused sword. After eliminating the two wights, Bjorn went back towards the four wights and with some skillful maneuvering he avoided all the free folk settlements on the way and led them to the wall.

As he was nearing the wall, he saw four man pinning down two blonde free folk girls, while two others were surrounding them, all of them were wearing black fur coats and armor. In split seconds, he came up with a plan and led the four wights towards the Night's Watch members. Since he was coming from their backs, they didn't notice him, and the noise he was making to attract the wights were drowned by the cries of resistance the two girls.

"MOVE IT FUCKERS!!" Shouting at the top of his lungs, Bjorn jumped over the two men and kicked tow men who were pining down one girl. Without looking back, he kicked the men holding down the other girl too.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!" One of the Night's watch member shouted when he saw the wights.

"MOVE IT!!" Shouting at the two blocking his way, he jumped straight towards the wights, and struck them with his swords. In a single attack, two wights crumbled down, and in the second attack the other two wights also crumbled down.

Turing back towards the soldiers of Night's Watch he said "The reason behind building the wall have risen again. Inform your Lords if you want to." Then looking at the two girls, he said "You two are free to go. They won't come after you." Saying his piece, he went back into the forest and disappeared from their line of sight.

The free folk girls took off right after he disappeared, and some of the Night's Watch members were looking at the crumpled Wights while the rest were looking at the path Bjorn disappeared into. They didn't understand what was going on at all, and the only thing that went through the heads of two men who attacked Bjorn was 'Our sword didn't slice him. It was like his skin was made of iron. Ironhide?'

After the fight with the wights and rescuing the two blonde free folk girls, Bjorn went back inside the cave to sleep. Bjorn slept as soon as his head hit the rugs he made for mattress, on the other hand hundreds of thoughts were going through Ygritte's head 'So, by what Bjorn said, we have been getting in the way of other peoples freedom? But, if we look at like that, then our freedom is limited right? If we go by that then what does it mean to be free folk? Isn't he telling me not be a free folk anymore? I have the freedom of choice to join his clan, but is it really freedom? He's only giving me the freedom of choice. Then, if I join his clan, then I won't be a free folk but a mercenary and if I don't join his clan then I will have to go back to my clan. I don't know anymore!' "Gods please guide me to the right choice."
