It was time, and I did not think I couldn't be anymore ready to leave.
Winterfell was home, but it was hell, and Catelyn Tully made it that way.
I made sure over the last few years to set my own version of gun powder in and around the Sept.
How did I set it in the Sept? You may ask, well, the Septa thought she could show me the true gods by making go to the awful one built in the next to the godswood at winterfell. So I spread it around.
I also knew Lady Stark was current in labour with Bran, so everyone was distracted.
Once we had the horses loaded, Jon and Delia were waiting for me, I ran up to the horse, and just as I sat on my saddle, we started to move then.
'BOOM'
it could be heard for miles. You would see the high flames before it settled into a normal fire.
Delia looked at me, and I shrugged while looking at her.
"The sept offended the old gods."
Delia smiled but did not say a word, we road for about another few hours before we were met with ten men, six of them looked like Northerners and the other four looked Essos and by their shivering they did not do well with the cold.
"Good morning men, have you broken your fast."
The men looked at her and laughed before bowing.
"Not yet milady, but you and your little companions can join us."
Bother me and Jon bristle at the little comment but did not say anything, we got down and followed Delia to the stream nearby for the horses to drink and rest for an hour before we left.
We broke our fast with them and we found we really enjoyed their company, we talked about different things and they taught both me and Jkn different moves they had learned.
Once of the Bravvos men introduced me to a spear, and I picked it up really quickly.
When our food was eaten and horses ready, we kept going. I honestly thought Delia would take us to East Watch as fewer men were watching it, but she took us to the main Northern gate, which surprised us.
When we arrived, we were greeted by the Lord Commander.
"What can the men of the nights watch do for you, Lady Umber?"
"We need to see Measter Aemon, then we need to go to the other side of the wall ser."
She all of this as if stating facts, the Lord Commander looked like he had swallowed a lemon.
"Let us talk in private milady."
She nodded and then turned to Larik, then to us, we gathered this was to guard us.
Once she was out of view, we saw a man looking at us, and he looked really familiar.
"What are you looking at, little lady?"
I got down despite all the men's protests and walked towards the man. He got down on one knee, so I was face to face with him.
"You look familiar. What is your name, ser?"
"Ser Alliser Thorne."
My eyes widened, and then I saw another man behind him who must be Ser Jaremy Rykker.
These are the men that would have killed Jon had I not changed the narrative, but they were also Targaryens loyalists, so I know they would not go against us.
"If you had a chance to serve that family once more, would you?"
I looked ser Alliser in the eye, and he looked confused for a moment. Then, hus eyes widened as he looked at me. He swallowed, then looked at Jon and then back at me before nodding.
I gave him a small smile before returning to my twins' side. Jon gave me a strange look before Delia and a pale Lord commander came out.
"We shall stay tonight. My brother is sending 50 me and supplies, which should arrive tomorrow. Come childern, we are going to see Measter Aemon."
We both nodded,then got off our horses. It was still hard at 6, but we were getting better.
We walked to Delia and took her hand, then followed her to the Measter tower.
We knocked then were told to come in. A young boy was helping the elderly measter.
"Hello Measter Aemon, we have come to discuss something in private with you."
We heard a sound and saw ser Alliser and Ser Jaremy next to him, we invited them in, then sat down.
"What can this old man help you with?"
Delia and Jon look at me and nod their heads, I take a deep breath and tell him the same story I told Jon and Delia.
Once I was done, he pulled both of us into a hug before I said.
"A dragon alone in the world is a terrible thing. It's good you are no longer alone,
uncle."
It seems the nightwatch did not know or remember that Aemon was a Targaryen before he took his vows.
He and the others told us stories of our father Rheager, I enjoyed my beothers red face when I told them all about his amazing singing ability.
They said they would love to hear it one day but enjoyed talking about my ability with a sword and horse they said that was something Lyanna was known for and it made me happy to have moments like this.
Then Aemon remembered something and got Alliser to help him move some floor boards, then pull out a box and what sounded like two swords.
He laid them on the table and then opened the fabric up, and that was when we saw two swordsthat were meant to be lost to legend.
Blackfryer and Dark Sister, I could honestly say there were the most beautiful swords I had ever seen.
Soon as me and Jon touched them, they seemed to vibrate as if happy when we smiled both, and Alliser and Ser Jaremy took the knee before us.
"I offer my service to Princess Visenya and Prince Ageon Targaryen. I will shield your back and keep your counsel, and give my life for yours if need be. I swear it by the Old Gods and the Valyrian
"Thank you, ser, for your loyalty. I intend to go over the wall and destroy the other, along with three eye raven. Once I am done with that, I shall make a new kingdom in the North, with the blessing on the Old Gods and the Valyrian God's. You shall never be cold again.
I also vow that you shall have a place at my hearth and meat at my table. And I pledge to ask no service of you that might bring you dishonour. I swear this by the old gods and the Valyrian."
They smiled as did everyone else. I asked them if they could do me a favour, and that was to see if Ser Barriston was still loyal as I felt there was something more going on their.
They agreed as Ser Jaremy was due to go to kingslanding in a moon to collect more recruits. I encouraged him to collect as many baseborn make and female from fleebottom as I wish to build myself a force. I told him it would take months for him to get to get back, so she would have somewhere to house them by then.
After another hour of talking through some plans, we went to our room, as we were still young, we both shared with Delia.
We ate our food and then went to bed as we had more sleeping to do before our journey the next day.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Next Day*
We were up early to do some of our morning training, and we did not want to lag behind in any way.
Me and Jon spared for about an hour then went to wash ourselves then change our clothes.
We broke our fast with nightswatch they watched us but carried on their day, after that was done, we visited measter Aemon one more time before getting our horses ready but it was then I realised we had not seen our Uncle Benjen.
Then Delia informed us he was on Ranger business and would not be back for another moon, and he would most likely try to stop us. Which was true.
Once the gate to the other side of the wall was open, we started to ride towards a new future.
