[Jon Targaryen POV]

King Ronard stared out of his tent, engrossed at the orange colored morning as the sun rose over the camp.

Something that I had come to learn is that Ronard enjoyed starting his mornings this way, watching the sun rise, as if it was his only moment of peace.

He had spent much of his time, if not all fighting, for a better country, for the future of all humanity and while he kept everyone at bay with a smile and a sarcastic comment every now and then I knew deep down he could not keep this much longer, the stress was taxing him heavily.

Deciding it was time to say hi, I cleared my throat making my presence known to the king, Ronard in return took a deep breath without even looking at me as he said. "Tis a beautiful morning, is it not?."

"Aye, it is a beautiful morning, Sire," I nodded with a smile. "But we must make way to King's Landing, as to follow your plan, of striking fast and certain. Preparations have been made to depart after you break your fast. The horses are saddled and await your command."

"Oh, yeah," Ronard chuckled, "Defeated by my own words, hahha, but you are right,

"I just follow your orders, don't blame me, blame the game," I smirked at him.

The King turned his attention to me, looking at me with a smirk of his own. "Ah, Let me guess, you've been hanging out with Oberyn?"

I gave the King a mischievous grin as I asked, "Was it not you, that told more like this?"

"Once again defeated by my own words," Ronard laughed, as he stood up, "Aye, it was me who told you all those things,"

"Aye," I nodded, "Then my King… shall we go to break your fast?"

"Aye, I don't see why not, let go eat some breakfast," The king nodded.

[Tormund POV]

My entire tribe was dead, and so were almost everyone I knew, and here I was running desperately through the dead cold forest. Trying to get into the safe areas those weird looking kids created.

Fear was a luxury beyond the wall, but here I was with my heart racing as I began to panic at the sounds of many creatures running behind me, and I couldn't help but feel fear to what was chasing me.

The images of the dead rising and hunting my people down were burned into my mind, making it so everytime I close my eyes I see them screaming in pain, begging to be saved. I was both angry at myself for not being able to defend my tribe and afraid of dying without being able to fight back, those two emotions pushed me to run faster, the weird looking children said soon someone with the power to face these creatures would come.

"Fuck fuck fuck!" They were gaining on me, and my stamina was depleting swiftly as I struggled against the weight of the food I had gathered for those who had survived the slaughter.

I could hear the screams behind me, the growls of hunger and desire to kill me, but I didn't turn to look, fuck that I wanted to live long enough to help the magical fucker deal with these pests. "Go and gather food," I panted. "It will be easy, they said...."

As I was about to make it to the hideout protected with the magic of those weird looking kids, I felt a dull pain in my abdomen.

I grunted in pain as I looked down where I felt the hit and saw an arrow jutting from my stomach, taking a deep breath I took the arrow with my right hand as I withdrew the said arrow swiftly out of my body as the blood pooled around the wound, "Great… they learned how to use bow and arrows…"

"Get the food! Let's go Tormund!" Ygritte hissed at me, as she and one of the weird looking children helped me with the food I had gathered, taking all the weight off me.

I turned around to where the creature was coming, pulling my axe from my back as my free hand clutched instinctively at my abdomen, "You two run, I will stop the fuckers right here,"

As if on cue the disgusting creature appeared, missing his jaw and with it's left arm dangling at an unnatural angle holding a bow, all this package accompanied by the rotten smell of decay that was beyond disgusting.

It seemed the horde had stopped chasing me after a while, because I could see only one of them, which was a relief, with that in mind I steeled myself, getting ready for battle I glared into the creature's milky-white eyes, devoid of any emotion, nothing but darkness. "Come and get me, you undead piece of shit!"

The walker in return grinned mockingly as he shook his head, "Stop running from your fate…why would you avoid something set on stone...I will kill every living creature in the world eventually… don't fight a pointless battle…"

"What great offer… Let me think about that…. how about no? Fuck you!" Like I was going to pick death, fuck that, I might be afraid, but I wasn't an idiot!

"Very well, live for another day… but soon… soon your children of the forest will fail to hold me back… and I will consume you… like I did with your tribe… and like I will do with the world," The walker smiled, which was disturbing without a jaw.

"All I heard is the whines of a bitch to scared to fight the one that is coming to fuck you!" The weird looking children, and the old creepy man that was somehow fused with a tree told me of someone called the light champion or the prince that was promised was coming, and that him and him alone would defeat this fucker.

"The young bear will fall in time… death is not a matter of if… but when," The walker growled at me.

"Sorry, I don't speak bitch…" I chuckled as I threw my axe at the monster, cutting his head off, "God that felt good…"

[Ygrette POV]

Tormund once again decided to fight the walkers… instead of running into the safe circle, "He's probably dead…"

"I doubt it," The children of the forest shook her head, "He was facing one… and one in bad state, he will probably come victorious… but I admit your human friend is reckless,"

"He is…" I nodded, "He knows nothing,"

"Hahaha," Tormund's signature laugh caught my attention as he ran towards us, but before he even managed to approach us the children of the forest attacked him throwing a firebomb at him.

"Hey?! The fuck?!" Tormund jumped out of the way.

"What is the meaning of this?" I asked the children.

"He was marked…" The children stated, "If the night king marks someone, they become a beacon for him,"

"Oh fuck! I will turn?!" Tormund started to panic, and so was I.

"No, but if you enter the safe area… with the mark… you would be giving him the access to enter and destroy us," The children of the forest explained.

"Anyway to solve this?" I asked.

"Yes, I can erase the mark…" The children nodded.

"Then why the fuck you attacked me?!" Tormund growled.

"Because you were a few steps away from killing us all," The children stated with a calm tone, making both me a Tormund go cold in realization.
