WE WALK ALONE [Jon Snow]

Faith

Sage wondered if it was a mere coincidence or if they knew that the room they had given Jon and her was her childhood room. Everything was the same except the bed had been changed to one big enough for two adults. The walls were decorated with the same paintings and here and there on the walls could you find small scribbles made by five-year-old Sage. There was a mirror, a bath, a writing desk, drawers and now the belongings of Sage and Jon. The stone floor was now being abused by the harsh steps of a thinking Sage, "what are we going to do?" She asked as she threw her arms up in defeat.

"I don't know."  Jon answered, sounding just as hopeless.

"Do you think we did the wrong thing, coming here?" Sage asked as she continued walking from one point of the room to the other while Jon just sat on the beds with shrunken shoulders and his head in his palms.

"I don't know."

"Do you know anything?" Sage asked, sometimes her husband was just a stupid man with nice muscles.

"Sage." Jon sighed, "jokes aren't going to help us."

"I'm not joking." Sage sneered.

"Ha. Ha." Jon laughed dryly, "I'm serious."

"So am I!" Sage exclaimed, "if we can't convince her then we must get out of here. It will only be a matter of time before we become dinner for her dragons." 

"Why should I come up with the solution? Can't you?" Jon exclaimed as he rose from the bed.

"Fine," Sage sighed and stopped pacing back and forth, "guess I'll just have to do everything by myself." With that, Sage grabbed her staff that was resting on a chest in front of the bed and she made her way towards a tapestry hanging on the right side wall and touched the ground. It depicted some women dancing in a circle, holding hands. The Queen in the North slid the tapestry to the side revealing a narrow passage.

"What are you doing?" Jon asked confused as he tried to see where the pitch dark tunnel led, it seemed long and confusing as it was pitch black and narrow.

"I'm going somewhere to think." Sage was about to enter the dark passage but Jon's words made her come to a halt.

"Where does that lead? They won't let you go anywhere without guards watching over you." Jon warned.

"That's the point. I can't think if I have those smelling Horselords following my every move." Sage explained.

"But won't they see that you're gone?"

"Just don't tell them! They won't come in here if they don't have a reason for it." Sage explained like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"But do you even know where that leads?" Jon gestured at the hole in the wall.

"Oh Jon, you truly know nothing." Sage sighed, "this castle was built by a family that had enough madness and paranoia for a whole kingdom. They wanted to have escape ways wherever they were in the castle so all the tunnels lead out. And do you think that Stannis Baratheon would let his only living heir who's also blind go where she wanted, no, she had to find other ways to sneak out." Now it was Sage's turn to gesture at the passage.

"Fine, just be careful." Jon walked over to his wife and placed a small kiss on her forehead.

"You too. Just pretend that we're taking a bath or fucking so the guards won't come in here, whichever you prefer." Sage left after she had given her useful tip that had made Jon's cheeks crimson red. For being a lady of a high lord, that woman could certainly be vulgar at times.

The crisp wind of the night made Sage's brown locks wave. Just standing so close to the cliff edge gave Sage a nerve tickling sensation and thinking about how far down the water was nearly gave her enough adrenaline rush that could last a fortnight.  The sound of heavy waves breaking against the cliff sound was mixed with the sound of dragons flapping their wings in the far distance, the latter was something that didn't fit into Sage's picture of Dragonstone but at the same time, it was like this place was meant for dragons to circle it. Right now, Dragonstone didn't belong to the stags, it belonged to the dragons. "It's quite late, your grace" The voice of Tyrion Lannister broke Sage's train of thought and Sage scoffed.
