Chapitre 9: Wildling Invasion(2)
-Location: Castle Black, The Wall-
-Date: Early 114 AC-
-POV: Rhaegar Targaryen-
(A/n: Some of Yall might not like this chapter. So if you have any complaints. Then don't say them because idgaf.)
After my entertaining talk with this alleged king beyond the wall. I thought of a few things that may happen in tomorrow's battle.
He and his army will definitely climb the wall. If that fails, I bet he'll have a separate group that will sail to the other side of the wall. There, Laena will wait with Vhagar.
They do not have the means to bring down Vhagar, so having her lay in wait is the smart this to do.
Lord Stark and his banners will arrive in the morning. So we will be at full fighting force for this battle.
I made my way towards the my room that lord commander Locke prepared for me. It's a far cry from my room at the red keep, but this isn't a place to feel comfortable at.
I walked in and seen Laena bathing. She's so used to bathing every day that she feels dirty not doing it. This is something o can get behind.
Because if Victorian Era hygiene was the standard here, I wouldn't be able to stand this life. These people's hygiene wasn't the best, but at least it's better compared to some historical examples.
(A/n: The amount of filth the Victorian era had is astounding. Like people were genuinely disgusting. I'am so glad that I've never had to experience that kind of filth.)
"It seems my love has started without me." I said.
"It's cold and I've been on dragon back all day. A hot bath is something that I needed. So how was your talk with this supposed king?" Asked Laena as I took off my armor.
"Apparently he's a Karstark. Lord Commander Locke said he'll inform lord Karstark in the morning when he comes with Lord Stark." I said as I stripped completely.
I stepped into the tub and sat behind Laena. She turned around and started washing me.
"Well that's something isn't it? What will you do?" She asked as she rubbed my body.
"I will kill him. No matter what happens or what lord Karstark says, he needs to die. He's a threat to the kingdom. We do not know the lengths he will go to for his goal. He may have more men at the ready, we just don't know." I said as I stroked her hair.
"Well what ever your decision is, I will support you. The northerners may come to hate you, but they know that you did this for the realm." Said Laena.
"Everything I do is for the realm and our families. And I will burn this world down the ground if anyone were to get in the way of my kingdoms prestige." I said.
"And I will be with you for all of it my love. When our children come into this world, our family will be even stronger." Said Laena as she hugged my head.
I can hear her heart beating. It's so soft and strong. I can hear the blood pumping through her body, her very being calms me.
"Well, what are we waiting for." I said as I picked her up and left the bath.
After that we had a very intense night.
-Next Day-
-POV: End-
Rhaegar and Laena walked out of their room. Eyes landed on them as the entered the courtyard. Rhaegar had on the same armor he wore yesterday.
Laena also wore her dragon siding leathers she wore yesterday. Rhaegar's hair was braided and fell down his back. Laena also braided hers.

"We don't know when they will attack, but we must prepare for everything. I will send my wife with a small batch of men to the end of the wall on the east. I have a feeling they will try to go around. Lord Stark and his men will be with me and My Uncle." Said Rhaegar.
Ser Gerald still hasn't arrived yet with his army. So they'll have to fight off the army with the Stark Banners.
Lord Stark had put together an army of three thousand men. Most comprised of old men and middle aged men. There were even some women for bear island.
"So, I will be naming some commanders for this army. My Uncle will be commander of the vanguard. Lord Bennard Stark will be commander of the wall archers. Lady Lyra Mormont will lead the rangers, they will be responsible for the men who get past the vanguard. Lord Royce Bolton will lead a small army of men. They will follow my wife to the east of the wall." Said Rhaegar.
"I like this plan, I can't wait to crush some wildling skulls." Said Lyra Mormont.
Lyra was a tall woman with brown hair and brown eyes. She had a think northern accent. She wielded her houses Valyrian steel sword, Longclaw.

Rhaegar looked at the bastard sword and smiled. His mind went to the far future, where Jon Snow wielded the sword.
"Well lord Bolton, you and your men will leave now. Have a safe trip." Said Rhaegar.
Laena walked out of the gates and mounted Vhagar.
"Now we wait." Said Rhaegar.
He proceeded to go to the top of the wall and watch. His vision was the best and he could see extremely far. So having the position to watch the wildlings was an advantage.
-4 Hours Later-
Rhaegar sat and watched for four hours. He seen Harron gather his men and send out men to the east. He knew this is what he'd do.
Harron and his army started marching while chanting something. Rhaegar stood up and walked towards the edge of the wall.
"Go tell the men it's time. Daemon will be leading the charge." Said Rhaegar to the nights watch soldier.
He immediately went and took the lift down to the castle. Rhaegar readied himself and leaped off of the wall.
He ran down the wall vertically and then pushed off with all of his strength. The wall shook, sending vibrations all throughout the wall. Rhaegar had left a small crater in the wall.
Rhaegar cut through the air like a blade. He was headed towards a giant, and when he got close enough he unsheathed his sword, bisecting the Giant.
The wildlings all looked in shock. Rhaegar stood up and flicked his sword, making the blood fly off.
He then proceeded to run towards the wildlings. He cut them down as fast as lightning. No one knew they had died.
Rhaegar had killed some men who rode giant ice spiders and white bears. He made sure to kill the creatures too.
As he slaughtered the wildlings he came across a wild woman. She had blonde hair and pale blue eyes. She held a spear in her hands.
(Image)
"You killed my husband, I as his spear wife shall slay you." Said the wild woman.
"Just leave, I take no joy in slaughtering your people. Your "king" force my hand, he threatened my kingdom." Said Rhaegar as he pointed Blackfyre at the woman.
"I don't follow that man. He a southerner just like you. He spits in the face of our traditions." Said the wild woman.
"Then leave, he will be dead soon. You can go back." Said Rhaegar.
"I can't do that. You must die for what you did to my husband." Said the woman.
Rhaegar sighed and just ended her life. Like a ghost he appeared behind her and heard her body fall.
A precise cut to the neck, she didn't suffer as much pain of others did. Rhaegar just looked and sighed.
-POV: With Daemon Targaryen-
Daemon led his men towards the wildling army. He seen what his nephew did and was surprised at the strength he displayed.
He also knew his nephew was abnormal, but now he understands why.
"Let's go men, we have some savages to slay." Said Daemon.
They all charged the wildling army and met them head on. Daemon killed and killed, cutting through the wildlings like butter.
He moved fluently through the battlefield. Most of the wildlings weren't trained, they just swung and hoped to hit something.
Thanks to Rhaegar, Daemon knew the swordsmanship that Rhaegar had created. It was swift, strong, and deadly.
The sword style relied on fast movements and strong strikes. Daemon stopped and seen that his men held the upper hand.
He turned around and seen the she bear killing the wildlings with a crazy expression. Daemon smiled and did that same.
-POV: Lyra Mormont-
These Targaryen men can fight. Prince Daemon fought like a swift buck, or some would say a dragon.
But the other Targaryen caught my eye. His presence filled the air when he and his lady wife appeared.
He and his display of power. When the men said he Leaped from the wall, we all thought he was crazy. But then the wall shook.
When we charged outside of the gate, we seen bodies littered everywhere. Missing body parts and all.
My job was to get the wildlings who made it past Daemon and his men. There were quite a few.
As i killed a wildlings, a giant charged at me. This was something I looked forward to. If I can kill this beast, my name would be set in history.
And those of house Mormont would be known for generations. I ran at the giant and slid on the ground cutting his legs.
He was slow, so I could use my speed to my advantage. He recovered fast and tried to crush me with his huge arms.
I dodged and cut his waist, he started to get more angry and roared. I jumped back and looked into the beast eyes.
Gods be damned if I run away. I swear by the old gods that I will come out of this battle victorious.
"AGHHHHHHHHHH." I roared back at the beast and charged at it with all my might.
SLICE!!
I cut the beast hand clean off. Thanks to Longclaw, I felt no resistance from the hard flesh. While the beast roared in pain, I took the opportunity to behead the beast.
SLICE!!
The giants head fell to the ground and blood poured out of his neck. I bath in it, and let out a roar.
My men also cheered at this feat. The name Lyra Mormont will be feared in the north for centuries to come.
-POV: Bennard Stark-
I sit atop of the wall and looked at all the men fighting. I've fought wildlings before, but not to such a scale.
"Seven hells, is this what war looks like?" I asked myself.
If this is a small battle, then I can imagine what an actual war looks like. Thank the old gods and the new that both king Jaehaerys and king Viserys have kept the realm in peace.
The heir, Prince Rhaegar won the battle of the stepstones a few years ago. So he knows the importance of battle, and that peace should be kept at all costs, hopefully during his reign the realm stays in peace.
"Archers! Ready!" I commanded.
"SHOOT!" I yelled and the men let their arrows fly.
Hopefully this battle ends soon. I miss my wife and sons. The news that Prince Rhaegar gave me will make my wife upset. But she has to know. Lord Karstark himself is here.
When he heard his brother was found he almost tore the gate apart trying to get to the other side of the wall.
He is currently with Prince Daemon.
-POV: Laena Targaryen(Velaryon)-
My husband is currently fighting a battle. I know when he gets worked up he becomes a different person.
I had heard the tales of his battle in the stepstones. They called him "The Black Dragon".
They also said he fought like the warrior and slayed countless men on the battlefield.
Part of me feels like he sent me away because he doesn't want me to see him like that. But I care not for the man he is, in battle, but the man he is all the time.
I'll talk to him when this is all over. I look down from Vhagar and see lord Bolton and his men camping. Lord Bolton gives me weird vibes.
He hasn't taken his eyes off of me since we got to the edge of the wall. This man isn't a man any woman could love.
He had messy black hair, and sunken black eyes. He's losing hair and looks like he's skin and bones. I hear most Boltons look like that. But he seems like he's dead.

"BOATS!" Yelled one of the men from the camp.
I looked and seen four boats with men on them. They will not make it to the shore.
"Sōvēs Vhagar! (Fly Vhagar!)" i commanded Vhagar to fly.
ROAR!!!!
Vhagar roared and took to the skies. She may be old, but she can still move. I fly over the boats and turn around. I have a direct shot on one of the boats.
"Drakarys! (Breathe Fire!)" I yelled. Vhagar shot her green flames at the boat, sinking it immediately.
The men on the boats tried to shoot their arrows at us, but the didn't reach men, nor Vhagar.
Lord Bolton and his men watched from the shore and didn't move to assist me. After some time I sank the rest of the ships.
As I flew on Vhagar to see if there were more men coming, I noticed I was on the other side of the wall.
Vhagar was a lot uncomfortable while we sat and waited, but now that she's on the other side she seems more energetic.
Being in the other side means i could help Rhaegar.
"Jās Vhagar! (Move Vhagar?)" I yelled as the she dragon began to flay faster.
-POV: Rhaegar Targaryen-
I have finally found Harron.
He sits on the back of a giant snow bear. The man looks at me with a grin. He seems to not care that his men are being slaughtered.
"Well southerner, it seems like you've one. Should I give up, or shall we fight to the death?" Asked Harron.
"Let's fight, I want to go home." I said as I wiped my sword clean.
I've been stained with the blood of the wildlings. Thankfully I have no open cuts, or else i would get an infection of some kind.
Harron leaped off of his beat and took out his axes. He charged at me and tried to cut my head off.
I dodged and elbowed him in his stomach, sending him flying. I rushed towards him and began breaking the man down.
He was too slow and a bit sluggish. I removed his left arm and kicked him into the tree. This fight was underwhelming.
"Any last word's fake king?" I asked the man who still had a bloody grin.
"Fuck you and your silver haired cunt of a king." Said the man as he spat at me.
I dodged. As I was about to kill him and man yelled from behind.
"Wait!" Yelled the man.
I turn around and see a man where the Karstark sigil on his chest. This must be Arthor Karstark, Lady Margaret Karstarks brother. Which means this is also Harron Karstark's brother.
"Why stop me lord Karstark? This man is a traitor, and needs to be put to death." I said as I looked at the man.
He had short black hair, with black eyes. He was a big man, standing taller than even me.
"He's my brother, I should be the one to kill him." Said Lord Karstark.
I understand, northerners have this honor to them. To them it would be considered dishonorable if I were the one who brought his houses traitor to justice, and not himself.
I stepped away and began to walk. I picked up Harrons axes and inspected them.
Valyrian Steel?
A smile creeped on my face: I just hit the jackpot. I can get these melted and reforged.
I just sat back and watched as the brothers talked. Harron let out his rage about their father. Arthor stood there and listened.
After all that was done, Harron told Arthor to end it. Which he did.
"It's over my Prince. Is it okay if I take my brother body back to Karhold? I wish to put his body to rest." Said Arthor.
"Do what you want, he's your brother." I said as I sheathed Blackfyre and walked away.
I walked out of the forest and into the open area. I can see my men finishing off the rest of the wildling army.
I guess See Gerald wasn't needed. As I walked I heard two giants running towards me from my left.
I was about to throw the axes but the Giants were burned to death. I looked up and see Laena with Vhagar.
I smile and walk towards the she dragon. Vhagar eyed me but I paid her no attention.
I do not fear these creatures, so they don't really attack me. The only dragon the would attack is Cannibal.
Anyway.
I stopped and held out my arms, motioning Laena to jump from Vhagar. She unhooked herself and leaped off.
I caught her and spun her around. We kissed and I let her stand on her feet.
"Thanks for the save. How did you get Vhagar over the wall?" I asked.
"I didn't, we flew around it. It seems like the spell doesn't extend beyond the end of the wall." Said Laena.
I nodded and we walked towards the wall. I can't wait to go back home. I really hate the snow.
-To Be Continued-
