Capítulo 26: A Mother and a Purpose
Haldor's arrival at the Night's Watch base brought much nervousness to everyone guarding the walls, especially after seeing how easily Azazel had flown over them.
Haldor and Luker were taken to a more private room where they could have a closer conversation.
Most of the Night's Watch were not pleased after allowing the enemy through their gates. If anything went wrong, they would ensure that Haldor and Luker would not leave after entering, or else they would be the laughingstock of all seven kingdoms.
Some of them were confused; they had seen Haldor's armor, and it was not the equipment of a savage. If these were their armors, it meant that beyond the Wall there was a kingdom waiting with many more warriors than they could imagine.
Haldor looked around the room he was in, and surprisingly, it was not any better than what they had in the far north. After sitting down, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you the head of House Stark?"
"Who are you to ask that?" A man besides them intervened in the conversation, creating an uncomfortable silence that Luker did not like, showing his teeth.
Rickon raised his hand to stop his general, looked at Haldor, and nodded before saying, "I am the head of House Stark; you can speak frankly with me."
"I am Haldor, the future King of the Rhoynar, when I take the crown from my father after his death. Do you know why we are here?" Haldor was testing this old wolf, who seemed to be cunning.
"I suppose it's for land, but I tell you now that letting you pass would involve us in a war that we could hardly win. Thousands of people would be involved in a war that would ultimately bring losses to everyone. Do we understand that?"
"We were expelled from our lands with dragons; the magic of our country still thrives under our current lands, and we have the power again to face all seven kingdoms together."
Haldor paused for a moment, then said, "We now have two adult dragons ready to fight, thousands of armored bears, and hundreds of warships. Air, land, and sea, we have prepared for the worst consequences after reclaiming our own territory."
"Magic has been lost..."
"Do you still think the same?" Haldor raised his hand, and with a simple movement of his fingers, the floor of the room froze. With just his thoughts, dozens of ice spikes rose from the ground, and crystalline water began to flow over his arm.
Even Rickon Stark himself remained silent after seeing this purely demonstrative display of power. "Our magic still reigns; we have been recovering for years, and now that House Targaryen is not the same, we propose something more than war."
"What brings about this kindness?"
Luker, who had been silent until now, responded, "The White Walkers are making their presence known in the far north. We cannot continue living in a place where the danger is more than present."
"That's ridiculous; the White Walkers disappeared thousands of years ago." Rickon could not believe in superstitious fantasy stories.
"We have proof, which we will show you after we know if you can be trusted."
Haldor stood up and said, "You are a man with a vision like mine, even though I am just a boy of marriageable age. I had a dream in which the North was attacked by millions of white Walkers."
"I named that dream the Battle of the Five Armies, where humans, mages, armored bears, dragons, and White Walkers fight on a night of invasion where we must unite for the sake of the future."
Luker moved the table, and looking at Haldor, he saw him raise a wall of ice along the room. On that ice wall appeared tiny figures holding bows, shooting at the night approaching like an extreme cold mist.
"Only the northerners and the Rhoynar remember this battle because we fought against the darkness back then. You know perfectly well that we won only by luck, and if we fight again, we must all be united to win."
"I ask you for one thing: let half of my army pass with all the armored bears. We will defend the North when the time comes, and I will personally ride my dragon to fight against the darkness."
Rickon remained silent; he was no fool. He could see some truth in Haldor's words, so he said, "Show me the details."
