29 Chapter 29

This changed everything, all his plans to eradicate the Lannister and their alliance went up in smoke. He needed good men and women, now if they showed no potential that's one thing but entirely another if they did.

'Damn it that Jaime Lannister is probably a death knight or warrior, hes the one who pushed Bran. Shit this really complicates everything. No more wasting time, if Gul'dan is here I got to clear out the Wildlings to slow down that portal. If the Burning Legion can descend en masse we are done.'

Cyrus didn't even pay attention in front of him as he walked out the volcano, he didn't see Stannis and his wife rushing in front of him until they were already upon him.

Stannis with an actual smile that hasn't been seen in years, his eyes still wet from seeing his daughter cured and so happy. He threw all the decorum out of the window and gave Cyrus a big hug.

"You have no idea what this means to me Cyrus Stark. Ask anything of me, I would abandon the Seven and worship your Gods if they wish. I have received so much." Stannis honestly spoke out.

Giving Stannis and Selyse a smile he shook his head and replied,

"Although it would be nice since I definitely don't agree with a lot they teach I wouldn't ask anyone to abandon anything. Who you worship is your own choice to make. It's why they gave us free will. Although I told your wife already what I wished there was something I would like to add." Cyrus answered hesitantly.

"Anything, just out with it." Stannis stated, seeing Cyrus' hesitation.

"When the North comes to you and your house for aid to fight for the whole realm you will listen with an open mind. Soon we will need to stand together, even past enemies must come together. I must return to my father in Kings Landing, my apologies I'm sure you both had prepared a lovely feast but it's of the utmost importance." He knew he needed to get North, he needed to get proof of the others. It would be the only way to stop the power hungry living. Nothing puts things into perspective better than Death.

Seeing them both nod, just as they were going to offer to get him a ship back to Kings Landing, to their astonishment he turned into a large eagle and flew towards Kings Landing. The questions that plagued Stannis mind from such a vague stafement vanishing after seeing a man turn into a bird a fly away.

"Open mind indeed" Stannis couldn't help voice out. Selyse nodded her head in agreement.

After arriving back at Kings Landing he told his father everything. He even showed him the guns and drawings of full size battle tanks and sky golems that could be piloted, cannons and other weapons of mass destruction. Ned almost had a mental breakdown as his son's enthusiastic description of each capability. Each more horrifying then the last. The guns he could deal with, not too difficult: point shoot and bam one dead. But Bombers, Devastators, Turrets and Blade Throwers that's death in the thousands. If used against man even the North wouldn't survive against these weapons. He would've bent the knee faster than Torrhen did and Torrhen bent the knee to dragons.

After informing his father he would go get the proof and to be ready to summon all the lords to Kings Landing. After knowing what else was out there that was a threat he too agreed. It would put a real quick end to every scheme they were both aware and unaware of, bringing many out of the shadows at the very least. After saying goodbye to his sisters ensuring they had their [S.A.V.I.O.R] companions.

During his visit he was introduced to the famous daughters of Oberyn Martell purposely knowing they were interested in him since that was all they talked about to Sansa and Arya. Especially after seeing the mechanical companions of the two Stark girls and the mechanical pet of Myrcella.

They teased him relentlessly, even causing Sansa, Arya and Myrcella to turn red. To quickly leave he offered them their own [Jeeves] companions even handing one to Myrcella when he saw the look of jealousy, he even gave her some more of that wrapping paper she loved.

Then when they were destracted he ran for the balcony since Obara and Nymeria Sand had made sure to be between himself and the exit blocking him in. Then when all the other girls screamed, Sansa and Arya were laughing so hard they were rolling on the ground.

When the girls saw the bird and no Cyrus falling they ran to interrogate the two in bewilderment.

Happy to be free from that situation, he didn't mind attention but the Dornish were another breed all together. They were very open and public about their passion. Plus with his sisters there he dare not do as he pleases, now that they had instant communication with their mother at all times, double edge sword indeed.

His plan?

Head North. Level to 70. Bring back proof of the Scourge. Then equip the living with the tools necessary to fight even Deathwing.

He knew the fights for each of them. He knew their attacks like the back of his hand. Back when it was a game his guild looked at those guys as farming material, not an enemy. Something to be harvested weekly for their drops, nothing more.

He knew what he needed to do, but just didn't know how. He needed the Legendary Hall of Champions. It was where the spirits of the greatest champions of each class reside. Training and guiding each class, sure he could teach a bit but he wasn't skilled in the knowledge itself just its application. Trainers grant the abilities, he could only tell them about the ability and its use.

Quickly flying past the wall he began to search for the Wildlings in earnest. He had his father permission to bring them thru the wall but only if they would agree to man the empty castles along the Wall to their fullest and assist in its defense and in return their women and children could settle in the gift near each Castle manned by their family for as long as they didn't raid other settlements south of the wall.

It didn't take him long to find a vast army of people camping and resting. They were staying out in the open rather than being amongst the forest. Using his enhanced vision he searched the crowd for the leader. It was actually much more difficult than you would think it to be. Such a conglomeration of different tribes made it difficult.

So, unsure of the best way to introduce himself, he just went with the easiest one. Use his connection with the Giants. Finding the Giant clan was quite easy, so flying down he landed on the shoulder of his friend stunning the other giants that were sitting around the fire.

Turning into his human form and remaining in a sitting position on his friend's shoulder, caused all the other giants to fall backwards in freight, it was one thing for a large bird to randomly land on someone and quite another that bird turned into a human. Skinchangers could rarely turn into birds. Both Cyrus and his friend Gryf laughing at their reaction, their love of pranking bringing them close. Although Gryf mainly just enjoyed peoples reactions rather than actually participating, he mainly just facilitating the ride.

After discussion with his friend and finding out that the King Beyond the Wall had been asking to meet him as well made things easier. So he followed the Giants to visit the King of this army.

As he made his way to see the King he dawned his [Lightbringer] armor since he felt strength was what needed to be shown.

'So cant wait till [Radiant Lightbringer] set is available its item level jump is massive.'

As soon as his armor changed the crowds demeanor changed. Before he was just in a normal looking leather armor, but now it was full plate and gave off a magestic shine.

They could feel a calming aura radiate from him, they could feel strength in that aura but a righteous strength. One of protection not of domination. Had it been a dominating aura they would've attacked or shown more hostility. They didn't call themselves Free Folk for nothing.

Now they willingly parted giving them a clear path as many others joined to see what was going on, due to hearing the commotions.

Mance Rayder hearing the commotion had also walked out of his tent, when he finally saw the giants and then the person with them, he was stunned.

The Stark boy looked nothing as he had imagined. Especially in that armor, he didn't look anything like a lord but more King. He felt the strength coming from the Winterfell Wolf, but he himself wasn't named king for nothing. He patiently waiting, ignoring the whispers he was hearing around them solely focused on the Wolf before him.

Tormund standing behind him eyeing the new comer thinking the same. He was expecting someone much bigger. The way the giants spoke he was 15 foot tall and a mountain of a man. What he saw was not that. Though Cyrus was built like a warrior but he wasn't that tall, he was still young and growing but he could tell the kid wouldn't be much taller than himself if at all.

He had thought the kid was half giant so he was adding the boy to his story saying he must've been his illegitimate kid from when he stole that giants wife, but now he regreted it a bit. He felt the strength, although he wasn't fearful of it he knew he wouldn't have a good day if the boy so wanted.

Ygritte too was awestruck, she was amazed by the tales told by the Free Folk of two giants and a human running across the North randomly turning people into animals laughing all away at each response. They always returned to normal after a minute. They became so famous most people hid when they heard booming laughter for fear of getting turned into an animal even if it was temporary.

She always thought what animal she would turn into when she first heard the stories. As soon as they arrived in front she was the first to speak.

"Can you turn me into a bird? I've always wanted to experience flying."

Everyone was stunned by her sudden question.
