Robb looked at his sleeping wife, and he smiled happily, he couldn't help but look at a certain woman on the other side of the room, he felt uncomfortable.
"Did you wake up long ago?" the woman asked, getting up.
Robb denied.
The door slammed.
The culprit of the uncomfortable feeling, the wild princess Val, approached.
"Talisa, this is Val," Robb said.
She looked at the woman.
"This is my wife, the queen of the north, Talisa," the boy said.
Val looked at her and waved.
"Hello sister," she said.
Talisa looked at her confused.
"Sister?" she asked.
Val nod.
"I'm Robb's second wife, that makes me your sister," she said.
Talisa stayed still for a second. Then she turned to Robb.
"Explain," she ordered.
Robb smiled awkwardly, not understanding anything.
"Robb caught me, which in my tribe, means that he became my husband, I don't care if he has other wives, resign yourself," Val said without giving it importance.
The Queen of the North fell to the bed sitting up, trying to give some rationality to Val's explanation.
'I'm dead,' the boy thought.
After a few minutes of awkward silence, the Queen of the North stood up again.
"Nice to meet you Val," she whispered.
Val smiled.
"Likewise," she said happily.
Talisa tried to stay in control.
"I'll go out for a second," Talisa said to Robb.
The boy smiled at her as if to say ' I'm on your side, but what do you want me to do? '
Val waited for her to leave to look at Robb with a slightly more uncomfortable look.
"Is it bad?" he asked.
He didn't expect Val to succeed.
Not after Mance.
" It's a difficult situation, the free people had a meeting, that in itself without Mance is chaotic " the girl clarified.
Robb suspected so.
"I assume that many declared themselves leaders?" he said.
"Oh yes, almost all of them, but you know how it is, a couple of screams, a couple of fights, a couple of deaths, the free people divided into three groups, each with their own agendas," she said.
"Half of the free people left with the first leader, Mother Mole," she said.
"Mother mole?" Robb asked.
Val nod.
"A witch from the woods, who is popular among the people," she said.
"Witch of the forests... will she cause problems?" Robb asked.
He knew that woodland witches were usually healers, rather than charmers. Of course, there were some who mastered certain magical arts, but even the maesters of the seven kingdoms considered them harmless.
"I doubt it, the mole mother, she never participated in any battle and she did not encourage anyone to do so, but she has power over her people, she is heading towards Casa Austera, which is a town located in Punta Storrold, which is a peninsula located to the east, covered by the enchanted forest. She supposedly had a prophetic vision come to her and said that they would achieve salvation there," she said.
Robb was thoughtful.
"I see, she won't cause problems, but she won't join either," he said.
Val nod.
"Twenty percent of the rest went with Tormund Giantslayer," she said.
Robb raised his eyebrows at the name.
" Don't be fooled, Tormund is a good man, he protects the free people, and he was very close to Mance...He protected my sister and Mance's son, and most of the giants left with him" she whispered.
"I see," he said.
"He's quite famous, I managed to talk to him about your proposal, he sent me to hell, of course, but knowing him that's not so bad, I think he can be persuaded, if there's enough alcohol," she said.
Robb laughed.
"I don't dislike it at all," he muttered.
Val smiled too, but then her smile fell.
"And finally the rest went with Lord of the Bones or as the crows call him Rattlecoat," she said.
Robb noticed the change in her voice.
"That's bad, right?" he asked.
"Before Mance's time, he spent his time making wars, he is a cannibal and his only objective is to destroy the crows, and invade the south...I won't deny it, he is a reverend son of a bitch, he was with Mance only because He defeated him in combat, and only because he had a larger army," she clarified.
"How bad is that? "Robb mused.
"The Thenn joined him, they are a powerful clan and from what they said they plan to attack the wall soon" she clarified.
Robb swore.
"Is there a way to stop them?" he asked.
"Sure, kill them before they kill you," Val said.
Robb laughed a little.
"When he tells Stannis, he will want to attack," he muttered.
Val walked over and kissed him.
"I have an idea, but it's not a sure thing," she whispered.
Robb looked at her and listened.
"Give me time, I will convince Tormund," she pleaded.
Robb looked at her and sighed.
"I'll see what I can do," he said.
Val kissed him again and pushed him onto the bed.
"What are you doing?" he murmured.
Val didn't say anything, she just took off her clothes.
Robb saw her and was amazed at her beauty.
"Take your reward, King Robb"
[T/N: WHOA ROBB! DOWN BOY! DOWN!]

Bran sighed, looking again at the visions that the raven sent him, the raven took him to distant places, distant pasts, and made him observe recorded events seen through the eyes of the faces of the ancient trees, now he looked at his father years before, when he was young.
"I don't understand what he's doing," Bran muttered when he saw him.
"He lives on her ghosts, on her regrets, a brother he loved, a woman he loved, but her destiny was not linked to his," the crow said.
Bran sighed and walked out of the vision. He was no longer in the cave but in the white room. He sighed and turned to the monitor.
{Congratulations, you have leveled up!
You have four skill points to spend.}
Bran pressed on the character menu.

The boy pressed yes.
{Water Magic Level: 3 acquired}
Bran fell to the ground at the pain he felt, it was as if an eternal cold took over his body, and icy needles came out of his skin.
{Water Magic Level: 3

Bran smiled when he saw all the attack magic, and left the place.
The three-eyed crow looked at him solemnly.
"Do you know?" Bran asked.
He didn't understand how but he could see that the crow did know that something happened.
"I detect it, that magic. It is strange, different from that of the forests and rivers, it is no surprise that I cannot see you for so long " he said.
"But you don't know where it comes from?" he asked.
It was a question already asked before.
The crow didn't know.
He had never seen anything like it.
And he had seen it all.
Bran levitated himself and walked away from the place, he came across some children along the way.
He came to a small lake, Meera was sitting in a corner, Hodor and his brother were in it.
It looked like hot water.
"Aren't you getting wet?" he asked.
Meera turned to see how he canceled the levitation and sat next to her.
"No, not yet, not with so many men here," she said with a raised eyebrow.
Bran looked uncomfortable.
"Praiseworthy," he admitted.
Meera smiled.
"Your training?" she asked.
Bran sighed.
"I don't understand anything about him," he whispered.
Meera looked at him curiously.
"It's like seeing someone else's memories, of being present at events, but not understanding why they are there," he whispered.
"Did you see something bad?" she asked.
"My father, being younger, plagued with regrets," he said.
Meera looked at him and shook her head.
"I understand that, that happened to my father too," she muttered.
"Your father? Did he fight in the war? My father told me about him, if there was a man I trusted it was him," Bran said.
Meera laughed.
"My father fought with your father in the war, but he is not a warrior, he never has been," she said.
"Because? "he asked.
"He's like Jojen," she said.
" Do you see the future? "he asked in wonder.
Meera laughed.
"No, no, I mean he's a boy, without very good swordsmanship," she said.
"Oh," Bran whispered.
Meera looked at him amused.
Bran smiled at the mockery.
The girl stood up suddenly.
"I have to go hunt something," she said.
"I'll accompany you," Bran said.
" No, rest more, I should train, I'm tired of doing nothing, I feel useless," she said.

FLASHBACK

"I want to talk to you," the boy heard, listening to her, she was the girl from the forest who spoke his language, her name was Leaf.
As direct as always.
Bran nodded.
"Where do your abilities come from?" she asked.
"I don't know, I asked the three-eyed crow, he doesn't seem to know," he said.
Leaf became thoughtful.
"How did you get them?" she asked.
"After my fall, I woke up with them," he said.
Leaf pouted.
"And why?" she asked.
Bran looked at her confused.
"I don't know," he said.
She looked into his eyes for a second before nodding.
"There are stories of warriors with strange powers, possibly you are one of them," Leaf said.
"What do you think?" he asked.
Leaf looked at him solemnly.
"I think they are not the gods of the forests or rivers, or rather I don't think they are gods who gave you this gift, I don't know what they are, but not gods, the gods do not give abilities like that to mortals," she clarified.
"Why not?" he asked.
Leaf looked at him surprised.
"Well because there would be no way to control them," she replied.
" Control us? " he asked.
"Well, of course, Brandon Stark, who is an immortal being, more than a controller of mortal beings," she said.
Bran remained thoughtful as Leaf walked away.

"And Meera?" Jojen asked, reaching out to him.
Bran turned to look at him.
"She went hunting," he said.
Jojen looked at him confused, then raised an eyebrow.
"Oh yeah, sure," he said with a smile.
Bran looked at him confused.
"Hodor"
[T/N: MMMMmmmm, maybe a demonic entity is trying to invade the realm and is using the starks as an anchor point, would make for an interesting plot point for a later chapter when they need to either take the power for themselves to fight against this entity or go on a quest to remove the entities corruption and gain the real powers of their realm to protect it, which could explain why the worlds magic is disappearing because something is attacking it. I'm probably pulling this out of my ass. If you like this chapter then leave a comment, write a review, and drop some stones.
