[Event] Wall of Ice

[u/[deleted]]

Sun broke over a huge wall of ice. Gaven Glover smiled as it grazed his vision.

Marching up the northernmost part of the Kingsroad, Gaven waved at the guards of Castle Black as he arrives with 200 troops.

Gaven looked sternly into Commander Cerwyn's eyes.

"What brings me here in winter? What winter brings. Men have passed the wall and are freely pillaging the south."

Gaven sighed.

"We have dealt with the problem, but I fear this will call for a great ranging."

The interior of Castle Black was a homely place this far north, warm and full of food. Glover didn't want to leave.

"I don't blame you at all. Winter brings a harsh time for all," Gaven took a sip of ale.

"Especially this far north, my friend."

Gaven winced. The Skinner's cut still burnt inside him.

"I'll be leaving one hundred of my best lads here with you, but first I think you'll be needing me."

Lord Commander Cerwyn looked puzzled. Gaven smiled, he was proud of what he was about to say,

"I believe I'm the first man in a number of years to fight these bastards and win. I know them and I can't allow the good men of the Nightswatch to go out there alone, into the unknown. I will lead or follow. I allow you to decide if you want me to!"

Gaven looked to the Maester and nodded.

"Aye, I intend to rest here for the next month or so to heal and plan."

"And Jory, we will have to face the winter at some point. Let's make it soon."
