Chapter 22: Aftermath

With the departure of the Night King and the White Walkers, a heavy silence settled over the battlefield. Janerys Targaryen, Sansa Stark, Arya Stark, and their allies took a moment to catch their breath and assess the situation.

The bodies of fallen wights and White Walkers lay scattered across the snow-covered ground, their supernatural menace vanquished. The Wall, though battered and breached in places, still stood as a symbol of resilience.

Janerys looked at Sansa and Arya, their faces smeared with the grime of battle but filled with relief and determination. They had faced the greatest threat Westeros had ever known and emerged victorious.

Lord Commander Eddison Tollett approached them, his expression a mixture of gratitude and exhaustion. He thanked them for their timely arrival and the pivotal role they had played in repelling the White Walkers.

With the battle won, the surviving Night's Watch brothers began the grim task of burning the bodies of the fallen, ensuring that they would not rise again as wights. It was a somber reminder of the price paid in the fight against the supernatural threat.

Janerys couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment and gratitude for the allies he had found in Sansa and Arya. Their shared experiences had forged a bond stronger than any he had known in his previous life.

As they made their way back to Winterfell, their thoughts turned to the challenges that still lay ahead. The White Walkers might have been defeated for now, but the threat of winter and political intrigue loomed on the horizon.

Upon their return to Winterfell, they were met with a mixture of relief and celebration. The people of the North and the Riverlands hailed them as heroes who had saved the realm from a fate worse than death.

Janerys, Sansa, and Arya addressed their bannermen and advisors, emphasizing the need for unity and preparation. Winter was far from over, and the scars of the recent battle served as a stark reminder of the dangers that lurked beyond the Wall.

In the days that followed, they turned their attention to rebuilding the Wall and fortifying Castle Black. The Night's Watch, bolstered by fresh recruits and the support of the North and the Riverlands, prepared to face whatever threats the future held.

The battle against the White Walkers had been won, but the war for the Iron Throne and the destiny of Westeros was far from over. Janerys Targaryen, Sansa Stark, and Arya Stark stood united, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
