74. Memories from the Dawn Part 2

A day later, Arthur reached the border of the grey waste.

"Supre..."

"Just call me All-father, that would be more practical. I watch over you, protect you and sometimes even feed you like any child's father" Alexander interrupted.

Arthur stayed silent for a while thinking what he just heard and indeed, Supreme one was more like a father to all the people, who always watched over them, and honestly, he also liked calling him All-father than Supreme One or God-king.

"Yes, All-father"

"Good, now we will go and talk with the leader of those Icemen. We must hear their side of the story but before that, we must create a nice defensive line." Alexander suggested.

He started waving his hand like in an orchestra and black-ish stones started to come out of the ground and slowly assembled themselves into giant fortresses. It looked powerful and scary with its black color.

"I have created 5 fortresses like these between the bleeding sea and the mountains of the mourn. Each fortress can house 10,000 men. They are standing at the only entrance to the Empire of Dawn and the grey waste so this should be enough. Now let's go and meet them"

Suddenly, Alexander flew into the sky, and Arthur was also being pulled. His expressions changed from surprise to panic and finally excitement.

Every man dreams of flying in the air like birds but no one could do it. Except for those winged men. They flew so fast that the world around them passed in a blur.

It only took them 5 seconds to reach the marching army of the Icemen aka the others or white walkers.

Alexander came down to the ground like thunder. Surprising everyone. The army of the Icemen was surprisingly more full of animals than their supposed masters.

The humanoid Icemen hastily got off the backs of their steeds and kneeled. They looked much different from what they looked on the TV show. They had plain white skin and white hair. No one could say that they weren't humans if not for the extreme cold aura their bodies emitted.

"God-King, thank you for blessing us with your presence," the one with a lion face said, in their culture, Alexander was called God-King. The Iceman had the body of a human but the head of a lion. Possibly a victim of some blood magic.

Alexander knew how the others/white walkers came into being. Their creation was a tragedy and their lives were even more of a tragedy. In the beginning, they were just normal humans living in the cold north, but the appearance of magic mutated them.

"What is your name?" Alexander asked.

"They call me the lion of the night, but my real name is Hegor" he answered.

"Okay Hegor, tell me, why are you marching your armies to the land of summer? Do you know how many people have died because of this?" Alexander questioned in anger.

Hegor shivered in fear but managed to speak.

"Please forgive me God-king, but I had no intention of hurting anyone. We are just looking for dragons. It's our curse that wherever we go the cold follows." Hegor honestly answered.

"Why are you looking for dragons?" He inquired.

"Because we have no other choice. Survival in the frozen land has become very hard for us now. The ice dragons hunt us like we are ants. We tried many times to tame them or kill them but they were too strong. The biggest one that I have seen was 100 meters long. Our only hope to fight them is if we can get some dragons from here and use them." Hegor answered.

"How many of you are left there?"

"400 men including, 200 of us here and an additional 200 sent to the other side where the south and north connects. We have more than 2000 women and 300 children. As we can not biologically reproduce we take orphaned newborn children from the south and give them a new family. The men's numbers are less than women's because only us men go to fight the dragons"

Alexander felt pity for them. They were a species on the brink of extinction. All they wanted was dragons but were misunderstood as demons sent by angry gods. The Dragons came to the world because of him, so he decided to help them.

"Okay Hegor, If I make the ice dragons disappear, then would you go back?"

"Yes.. yes... we will happily go back, God-king." Hegor excitedly said. In his eyes, if God-King deals with the dragons himself, then more of his people would not need to die.

"Okay, go back then, by the time you will reach the frozen land I'd have already dealt with the dragons. I will see you in your city then. You should also call off the men you sent to the other bridge between north and south in the west"

"Sorry God-king, but we do not have the means to communicate with them. They have been gone for a year now and we expected them to take at least 3 years to reach their destination." Hegor added.

"Okay, you send your fastest men to tell them to stop their strike. They will hopefully be able to stop them before anything bad happens."

"Yes, I will do it right away, God-king"

"All-father, what will happen now?" Arthur asked seeing that the ice demons or ice men were dealt without any fight.

"Now, now you go back and manage the city and get things back on track and, after that, leave for the west. They might need your help." Alexander ordered and then flew back to the 5 fortresses with Arthur.

"Man these fortresses, these can be great defenses even if it's not the ice men attacking." He suggested.

"I'll send men here as soon as possible All-father" Arthur answered.

"Alright, I must leave now. Good luck with your future fights," he flew away.

Arthur just stayed there for a while, kneeling in a Knightley pose. Even though they didn't have knighthood in Essos he still felt like doing that.

Unknown to Alexander, all he did that day would be remembered for a long, long time. The faith of the people in the Supreme one, the god-king, the All-father would grow even more.

After that, Alexander defeated all the ice dragons in the north and sent them to Dracheim to learn how to be a good dragon.

Then he went deep into the north, to the City of Frozen winter. The seat of the King of Icemen. To call their lives harsh was an understatement. They were simple beings with immense power. They ate whatever grew in the icy lands. The only reason they never attacked the south was because their bodies needed the cold to survive. Alexander then went to meet with Hegor.

"I have dealt with the Ice Dragons. They will never trouble you again. In fact, I can help you. I will open a big shop in your city. It will be run by a magical Golem. You will be able to buy nearly anything from there. Food, clothes, modified seeds that could grow in winter, books. You can pay for all of them with any valuable thing you can find. Things like Gold, Diamond, Jades, Beautiful Stones, or you can also barter the things you make. You can barter extra crops for something else or some craft you made. This will make your life better here," Alexander offered.

Hegor and his associates all kneeled on the ground.

"Thank you. Thank you, God-King." They all said.

Alexander walked to Hegor and caressed his furry Lion head. As soon as he touched him, the bodies of every Iceman got covered in white light.

"You have my blessings, child. As long as you all stay good and away from corruption. You will have the ability to procreate. But the day you lose your way and start following the path of greed. You will lose it again," Alexander blessed and warned them.

"W-We will cherish this opportunity you have bestowed upon us, God-King," Hegor sternly replied.

"Haha... Good. I shall go now. Take care, children," Alexander said and rose up in the air.

While flying back to Essos, Alexander made the bridge between Essos and North start melting slowly. In a few thousand years, it would fully vanish.

...

In Westeros, due to a losing fight with the First Men, the children of the forest enslaved the powerful team of Icemen that went on the search for Dragons.

But the children of the forest were as foolish as their names. They and the First Men signed a treaty to stop the war. But then the children forgot about the enslaved Icemen.

When they broke free from the control of the children of the forest, they attacked them. Men died like flies under their ice spears. They were angry, enraged that someone tried to take away their freedom. But thankfully Arthur reached in time and fought their leader with his burning sword.

Soon the messenger from the Lion of the night, Hegor, also arrived and told the Icemen about what happened in Essos. In the beginning, the leader looked skeptical but soon felt elated because Arthur also explained to him about the happenings.

They were still angry at the Children of the Forest though and as a punishment, they were to be confined into the inner forests for the rest of their lives. The first men and Icemen/white walkers came into an agreement that a big wall would be constructed, which would define the boundary between their land of Icemen and the land of the summer men.

But it was not possible to make the wall and keep it from falling down. Hence Arthur suggested that they should pray to All-father. All the kings of Westeros, Bran the Builder and the Icemen prayed to their Supreme god for 3 whole days without stopping.

And sure enough, Alexander appeared like a burst of lightning. They all kneeled in worship. Unlike Arthur, for the first men and the Icemen, it was their first time meeting him.

"I know why you have called me, what is your name child?" He asked the leader of the Icemen.

"I-It's Rojak, god-king" he replied.

"Okay, you start making the wall and I'll enchant it so that it may stand tall for the thousands of years to come"

"I'll get to it right away" Rojak rushed to work.

"Brandon Stark or as the others call you, Bran the builder. I want you to start making the castles with the help of giants and the children of the forest. A new order will be created to man the wall. The order of the Night's watch. These men will wear black, they will hold no land or castle, they shall not marry and father children. They shall always be loyal to their order and the deserters or oathbreakers will be brought to justice according to the northern laws." He decreed. All the local kings felt pressured by his mere presence.

"Y-Yes, We will follow your command, God-king" Brandon stuttered.

For the next several years, the Icemen built the wall and the first men built the castles. Every once in a while, Alexander would come to enchant the wall. On the other hand, Arthur Dayne decided to travel a bit before settling down somewhere in Dorne.

[Memory End]

"Holy moly... I've done so many things in all these years. I basically created this world. But there is more to this. I feel like this memory is not complete. Why would the Icemen attack again?" He loudly said, there was so much to be answered.

"Who are you talking to grandpa?" Rina asked, sitting in front of him and eating some rice balls from a shop in Yi Ti.

"haha... nothing my sweety, what does it taste like?" Alexander asked and quickly took a bite from the rice ball still in her hands.

Rina looked shocked, looking at him and the big missing chunk of the rice ball. "Not fair, that was mine, grandpa. it was so tasty" She pouted.

"Hahaha... then I'll buy you a mountain of rice balls. Come, let's go and buy some more for others and you" Alexander gave her his hand to hold.

"Yes, we'll buy it for everyone. Jon, Eric, and Axandra are small so only 1 for them. Uncle Brandon will need 100 and... and" she started mumbling and counting on her little fingers.
