Chapter 22

The great hall of Moat Cailin, with its thick stone walls and the scent of history lingering in the air, felt more like a war room now than a fortress. The tension in the air was palpable, but it was the kind of tension born from necessity, not fear. Harry, Daenerys, Robb, and Jon stood around a large wooden table, its surface covered with maps—some of them old and frayed, the ink so faded that it was more of a suggestion than a guide.

"We need to be strategic about this," Robb said, his voice firm, the weight of responsibility bearing down on him like the snow that blankets the North each winter. His eyes, so like his father's, scanned the map, tracing the path of the rivers with the ease of someone who had spent his whole life walking these lands. "The Neck is no simple land to conquer. The marshes shift. Today, the land could be firm, but come morning, it could swallow up your boots."

Jon, always the quieter one, stood a little to the side, watching with a somber expression as his brother spoke. His brow furrowed as he added, "The Crannogmen, they know this land like no one else. If we're too brash, we risk bringing down their anger—and we need them as allies, not enemies. If we're going to move forward, we do it carefully."

Harry leaned over the table, his gaze intense as he conjured glowing lines over the map, marking the path of the rivers and the likely route for the canal. "We'll need secrecy," he said, his voice steady but filled with the kind of certainty that had won him many battles. "The land doesn't care about our plans, but we can use that to our advantage. If we're clever enough, we can keep our work hidden from prying eyes."

Daenerys, who had been quiet until now, let out a soft sigh, her gaze never leaving the map. "We need to be more than just clever, Harry," she said, her voice smooth, tinged with the accent of her homeland, the French inflection evident in her words. "We need to understand the land itself. Magic can do many things, but it can't make up for a lack of knowledge about the land beneath our feet. The Neck is a place of secrets, and it will resist us if we don't tread carefully." Her blue eyes glinted with the same fire that had helped her conquer cities and bend armies to her will. "The magic we wield will move the earth and the water, but we must work in harmony with it, or the land will reclaim all we've done."

Robb looked at her then, admiration for her sharp mind and unyielding strength evident in his gaze. "You're right," he said, nodding as he turned to Jon. "We'll need to be careful where we build and how we dig. We'll also need to keep a low profile. The more we draw attention to ourselves, the more likely we are to draw the wrong kind of eyes."

Jon, his face shadowed by the weight of the North, glanced up from the map. "We can't afford any missteps. Not in a place like this. The land here has a way of swallowing mistakes whole." His words held the same gravitas they always did—calm, calculated, yet with the knowing undertone of someone who had seen too many battles to be naive. "We'll need every advantage we can get."

Daenerys stood tall, her presence commanding despite the cold winds that blew through the hall. "Then we will get those advantages," she said, a smile playing at the edges of her lips, her accent more pronounced in her determination. "But first, we need to learn the land. Jon, Robb, show us the paths the Crannogmen know. We will walk the land and understand it. Only then can we bring the canal to life."

The air seemed to grow colder as Robb and Jon led them outside, the wind biting at their faces as they made their way to the marshes. The land here was wild—unpredictable. Robb, always the guide, pointed out the faint outlines of paths, barely visible under the thick brush and grasses. His hand swept out to indicate the expanse before them.

"The land here doesn't give up its secrets easily," Robb said, his voice steady as he walked alongside Daenerys, his eyes scanning the terrain. "One step off the path, and you could end up knee-deep in a bog that'll drag you down faster than you can blink."

Daenerys, her eyes filled with determination, surveyed the land. "It's strange," she murmured, half to herself. "So beautiful, yet so treacherous."

Jon, walking just behind them, offered a brief glance toward the water-laden horizon. "The marshes are a place of death and life. It's why the Crannogmen have survived here for so long. They know how to live with it, not against it."

Harry, walking beside Dany, raised an eyebrow, his wand tapping gently against his leg. "A place of death and life, huh? Sounds like a good spot for a magical project."

Robb grinned. "You'll find that the marshes are not the only things here that are deadly, Harry."

Jon shot him a glance. "Careful, Robb. Not all of us are as 'easy' to kill as you."

Harry chuckled, the sound light despite the seriousness of the task ahead. "I'll keep that in mind."

With each step they took, Daenerys felt more and more the weight of the task ahead of them. But she was no stranger to weighty tasks. The land, with its shifting sands and marshes, seemed to pulse with an energy all its own. She could feel it in her bones—this was a challenge that would require everything they had, every ounce of strength, wisdom, and magic.

Once they'd made their way deeper into the marshes, Jon pointed to a narrow path winding between the reeds. "Here's where we'll need to start. The land is firmer here, but it's still treacherous. We'll need to use magic to ensure the canal doesn't get swallowed by the earth."

Daenerys nodded. "We'll work with the land, not against it," she agreed, her eyes alight with the same fire that had once burned for a throne. "Let's get to work."

As the wind howled around them, Harry raised his wand. The faintest shimmer of magic danced from the tip, rippling through the air like a soft breeze. "Let's see if the magic is ready to play."

With a collective breath, they began the work of transforming the land, knowing that their success—or failure—would shape the future of the North for generations to come.

—

Jon, ever the pragmatist, stood at the edge of the marshes, his eyes scanning the land with the kind of precision only a man raised in the North could possess. The air was thick with the scent of wet earth and moss, and the distant sound of birds echoed across the still waters. His voice was calm but tinged with the gravity of a man who understood how quickly nature could turn against you.

"The seasons will decide this," Jon said, his voice carrying the weight of experience. "Spring floods will drown us if we're not careful, and the frost in winter will make the ground so brittle you could shatter it with a single misstep." He turned his gaze toward the land, his expression thoughtful. "The North has a way of... testing those who think they can tame it. But I've walked this land long enough to know its moods."

Robb, standing a little to the side, crossed his arms over his chest, his brow furrowing. "You speak of the seasons like they're enemies, Jon," he said, his voice deep and steady. "But they're also allies. If we work with them, we might find that the land can give us just what we need."

Jon gave him a sharp look, but there was a hint of a smile on his lips. "You always did see the North as something to be won over. I just see it as something that has a way of winning in the end."

Harry, who had been listening intently to their conversation, took a step forward, his wand in hand. "Well, I don't know about winning or losing," he said, his tone light yet focused. "But I do know about working with magic and the land." He raised his wand, and a faint glow flickered around it as he began to work. "If we can understand the soil, the magic will follow."

The ground beneath his feet hummed with a faint energy as he extended his magic. He felt the subtle shifts in the earth—how the soil felt dense in some places, loose in others. Harry's connection to the land was different from Jon's or Robb's, but it was no less effective. He let his magic spread out, testing the soil for hidden pockets of water, for weaknesses in the earth. With a flick of his wrist, he began to weave the magic, gentle but precise. The earth seemed to respond to him, moving under his touch as if it recognized his intent.

"You're right," he said, looking at Jon. "This land's not going to give us anything for free, but it will give us what we need if we know how to ask." His wand twirled in the air as he strengthened the soil, reinforcing the foundation beneath them. "I can make it stable—keep the earth from swallowing us whole."

Dany, standing nearby, watched with an expression that combined both amusement and curiosity. She had always known that Harry's magic was powerful, but watching him work with the land in such a delicate, controlled manner was something else entirely. She stepped forward, her gaze softening as she surveyed the land. "You're not the only one who can speak to the earth," she said, her voice smooth, with just a hint of a French accent, like the warm lilt of summer winds. "But my way is different."

She closed her eyes for a moment, letting the magic pulse within her. The air around her seemed to shimmer with an invisible heat, the very land responding to her call. Where Harry's magic was firm, a command to the earth, Dany's was more like a conversation, coaxing the land with quiet persuasion. Her fingers, light as feathers, brushed the air, and the earth beneath them seemed to stir with a different rhythm.

"I will not force it," she said, her voice softer, more melodic. "The land, like us, has its own will. We must find a way to coexist with it." Her hands moved gracefully, and the ground responded as if it were bending to her will, smoothing out the jagged edges and calming the restless waters beneath the surface. "I can shape it, but only with care. We mustn't break it."

Robb, watching her work, couldn't help but be impressed by the way she connected with the land. There was something inherently wild about the way she worked—something that made him think of the untamed power of the North itself. "You're more like the North than you realize," he said, his voice filled with admiration.

Dany turned toward him, offering a playful smile. "Maybe the North and I can find some common ground, then." She let the magic settle, the ground beneath them now calm and ready for what was to come.

Harry, stepping back, studied the changes they had made to the land. The soil was firmer now, the land more stable. "I think we've found a good foundation," he said. "Now, for the canal itself."

Jon stepped forward, looking out at the winding river that snaked through the marshes, his eyes narrowing as he considered their next move. "The canal won't be a straight line," he said, his voice firm with resolve. "Not in the Neck. The land will fight us if we try to cut it in half. But we don't need to fight it. We just need to follow it."

Dany nodded, stepping beside him. "The canal will wind through the land, like a serpent. If we follow the natural flow of the water, it will be less likely to turn against us."

Robb glanced at his brother, then at Dany, his expression serious. "We'll need to reinforce the banks, protect the work we've done so far. And we'll need to keep the marshes from swallowing it whole."

Harry grinned, his wand moving through the air like a conductor leading an orchestra. "I've got that part covered. I'll place wards on the banks, keep the marshes from creeping in. It'll hold."

Jon turned to him, his face somber. "And what about the foundation? We need something that will adapt to the land, something that can shift without collapsing when the earth moves."

Dany, her gaze sharp, met his eyes. "I will use enchanted stone beneath the water. It will bend, shift, and adapt, just as the land does." She gestured toward the river. "It will keep the water flowing freely, without disrupting the natural balance."

Jon nodded, his eyes scanning the work ahead of them. "Let's make sure the land knows we're not here to conquer it—we're here to work with it."

The team set to work, their combined efforts shaping the land and the magic, ensuring that the canal would follow the natural paths of the rivers and stand the test of time. As the sun dipped low in the sky, they could feel the weight of their task settle upon them, but also the promise of what lay ahead: the successful union of magic, earth, and water, carving a new path through the North.

—

The plans they discussed were far more than mere construction; the canal was to be a tool of power, a strategic weapon that would change the balance of the North. Harry and Dany's eyes sparkled with the weight of what they were about to undertake, their visions intertwined in a dream that stretched beyond the physical realm of stone and water.

As they stood by the water's edge, the mists of the Neck swirling around them, Harry's voice took on a tone of quiet intensity. "The canal is not just about trade. It's a hidden lifeline, a vein running beneath the surface. We'll need more than stone to make it a success—magic will shape its future."

Dany nodded, her posture straight, the wind catching her hair and making it shimmer like silver fire. "We'll need layers of protection, layers that hide the canal until the time is right. Illusions. Wards. Anything that can keep it safe from prying eyes." Her voice had that soft French accent, as delicate as a caress but sharp as steel. "And my magic will ensure it remains hidden—until we choose to reveal it."

Jon Snow, ever the realist, looked across the mist-covered marsh, his brow furrowing as he calculated the risks. His words were measured, like a man who had lived too many winters and knew what they cost. "The canal's potential is immense," Jon said, his gaze distant. "But if word of it gets out, if the Freys or any of our enemies learn of it…" He shook his head. "It could provoke a war that we're not ready for."

Robb Stark, standing by Jon's side, shared his brother's concerns but also saw the possibilities. His voice was firm, the tone that of a man who'd seen too much bloodshed to be naive. "We can't risk them finding out. Not yet." His eyes flickered briefly to Harry and Dany. "We'll need to be smart. Move in silence. Keep this hidden. When the time comes, then we act."

Dany, ever confident, turned to Robb, her smile a quiet assurance. "We'll weave our magic so tightly that it will be impossible to find. The canal will be a phantom, a shadow in the land. No one will know of its existence unless they know how to see it."

Harry, already working his wand, began to weave the first layers of illusion. "I'll handle the wards," he said. "They'll make the land forget the canal exists, cloak it in confusion. Anyone who wanders close will be lost in the mists of the Neck, turned around until they think they've gone mad." He flicked his wand, and a ripple of magic spread through the air. "Even the Crannogmen won't be able to sense it. They might know the land, but they won't know this."

Dany stepped beside him, her magic rising in a subtle glow. "And I will bind those wards together," she said softly, a flick of her hand sending a wave of heat across the surface of the marsh. The air around them shimmered, the temperature rising with the intensity of her Veela magic. "With my fire, I will make the wards burn quietly, a silent flame that repels all who would venture too close."

Jon and Robb exchanged a glance, their concern ever present but tempered by the growing realization of what they were about to accomplish. Jon spoke first, his voice low but urgent. "This land is full of dangers. Spirits, shadows… We'll need to use the terrain to our advantage."

Robb nodded, adding, "The Neck's natural defenses will work with us. The fog, the reeds, the sinking marshes—it all provides cover. We just need to know where to place the wards, where to hide the work we've done."

Dany, already sensing the subtle shift in the land around them, looked toward the horizon, her eyes narrowing in thought. "The land itself will protect us," she said, her voice soft but sure. "If we lay the wards where the land feels its most vulnerable, we can turn those weaknesses into strengths. The marshes will shield the canal from prying eyes."

Harry looked at them both, his expression serious. "This is more than just magic. It's timing, precision. We'll need to move as one, or the plan falls apart."

The four of them began their work, the planning slow and meticulous. Harry wove the first layers of the illusion, tracing circles of magic through the air with his wand. The land shifted beneath their feet, subtle, but with a noticeable pull. Jon stood beside him, his eyes constantly scanning for any sign of trouble. He didn't trust the Neck, and he trusted even less that it would simply let them shape it to their will.

"It'll be a long process," Jon said quietly, his gaze flickering over to Robb, who was observing the land around them with a sharp eye. "We can't rush it. Every detail matters. If we misstep, the land will betray us."

Robb, ever the strategist, added, "And if the Freys catch wind of it before we're ready…" He let the thought hang, his expression grim. "They'll want to tear it down before it can be used against them."

"That's why we keep it secret," Harry said, his voice steady, as if the weight of the plan had already settled upon him. "The canal will be invisible until we decide otherwise. Until we've built enough to defend it."

Dany's gaze softened as she turned to Harry, her smile a mixture of admiration and determination. "I trust you, Harry. You've always known how to weave the land and magic together." She raised her hands, the heat of her Veela magic settling into her fingertips. "But we will need to remain patient. Time will work in our favor."

As the days passed, their work continued, each step taken with care, each moment of magic woven into the fabric of the land. The canal slowly took shape beneath their fingers—hidden, cloaked, waiting for the right moment to surface. Harry's spells, intricate and layered, wove a barrier that kept the land's secrets safe, while Dany's fire bound it all together with the power of the Veela magic, making the canal nothing more than a whisper on the wind.

Jon and Robb, though not as adept with magic, played their part, ensuring that the land's natural defenses would cover their work. They knew the risks, and they knew that the canal could change everything. If the Freys found out, they would never stop trying to tear it down. But with every passing day, the canal grew stronger, a silent force that would shape the North.

The work was slow, but each moment felt like a step closer to their goal. And as they worked, they knew the true test would come—not when the canal was built, but when they finally revealed it to the world.

—

The evening sky hung heavy over Winterfell as the plans for the canal began to take shape, and with it, the magic necessary to protect it. Harry, Daenerys, Jon, and Robb gathered in the great hall, their faces lit by the flickering glow of torches. Harry's expression was serious, his mind already deep within the layers of enchantment that would keep their work hidden and safe.

"Jon, Robb," Harry began, his voice steady but grave, "these stones are the heart of our defense. Each of you must take two of them." From beneath his cloak, Harry drew four smooth stones, their surfaces etched with runes that seemed to shimmer in the low light, as though alive with an ancient power.

Jon's fingers brushed over the runes, feeling the weight of the magic. "What are they?" he asked, his voice low, but curious. His grey eyes were filled with the intensity of someone who understood the gravity of what was about to happen.

"These are Wardstones," Harry explained, his gaze flicking between Jon and Robb. "Crafted with care, they hold powerful protective enchantments. Hermione made them for us. Once placed at the cardinal edges of Moat Cailin's land, they will form a barrier that even the most powerful wizards will have trouble breaking. Not just any ward, but one that hides our activities and keeps prying eyes from seeing our work. With these, the canal can remain a secret until we are ready."

Jon nodded, already knowing the value of such protection. He had learned the hard way, throughout his life, just how important secrecy could be. His fingers traced one of the stones, the ancient runes beneath his touch whispering promises of safety and protection.

"Where do we place them?" Robb asked, his voice clear and confident, the natural leader in him already taking charge of the task.

"One at the South-eastern boundary, one at the South-western, one at the North-eastern, and the last at the North-western edge," Harry instructed, his gaze meeting each of their eyes with a steady resolve. "Each one must be placed with care. No one can know what we're doing. The canal is the future, but if the wrong hands get hold of it, it could be a weapon for the wrong reasons."

Robb's brow furrowed slightly, considering the weight of the task. "We will make sure they're placed in a way that no one sees them," he said, determination in his voice. "The Neck may be wild, but we know the land. We'll make sure no one finds them."

Jon spoke then, his voice uncharacteristically sharp. "The Neck is treacherous, but we've survived worse. We'll do what's needed to protect this." His gaze flicked toward his brother, and then back to Harry. "What about this one?" He gestured toward the fifth stone, larger and more intricate than the rest, its runes glowing with a power that hummed beneath the air.

Harry carefully lifted the stone, his fingers hovering over the surface as though it were fragile. "This is the Keystone," he said softly. "It binds the wards together. It will take energy, both magical and physical, to fully charge it. But once it's ready, it will bind the Wardstones and activate the wards around Moat Cailin."

Dany, who had been listening intently, stepped forward, her blue eyes alight with curiosity. She had grown accustomed to the intricate weaving of magic, but even she could feel the profound depth of power in the Keystone. "How long will it take for the stone to charge fully?" she asked, her voice soft yet filled with purpose. Her French accent lilted through the words, and Harry's heart gave a small, appreciative flutter. Her beauty was undeniable, but it was the intensity of her focus and intelligence that truly captivated him.

Harry held the stone with care, eyes meeting hers. "I've been charging it every night since we first discussed our plans for Moat Cailin," he said, his voice steady but filled with a quiet urgency. "And with your help, Dany, it will reach its full power. It needs time, but the more we feed it, the more powerful it will become. Once the Wardstones are placed, the Keystone will activate them, creating a near-impenetrable barrier around the entire region."

Jon's lips tightened as he nodded, the weight of their mission settling in his chest. "Then we will do our part," he said, his tone unwavering.

Robb exchanged a look with Jon, his eyes filled with the same determination. "We'll make sure the stones are placed where they'll do the most good."

Dany turned to look at him, a small smile tugging at her lips, her gaze intense. "You can count on us," she said, the words laced with confidence. The fire in her voice matched the fire that burned within her heart, the same fire that had given birth to the Veela magic she carried with her. The stone in her hands hummed with power, and she could already feel the way it resonated with her.

Harry turned toward her, his gaze softening as he handed her the Keystone. "Keep it safe," he said simply. "We'll do this together. When the time comes, we'll place it at the heart of Moat Cailin. Until then, it's up to you and me to make sure it charges properly."

Dany nodded, her fingers tightening around the stone as she felt its power surge beneath her skin. "I won't let anything happen to it," she assured him. Her voice was resolute, and for a moment, Harry could see that fire in her eyes—the fire of someone who would fight for what she believed in, no matter the cost.

Jon and Robb turned toward the door, ready to begin their task. The journey ahead was fraught with peril, but it was a challenge they were both prepared to face. Robb mounted his horse first, his movements smooth and deliberate. Jon followed closely behind, his brooding silence as usual, but there was a fire within him too—a determination that matched his brother's.

"Be careful," Harry called out, his voice steady but filled with a quiet concern. "The Neck may be treacherous, but remember, there's more at stake than just a few stones. We need this to be done right."

Robb flashed a grin. "Don't worry, we've got this," he said. "The Neck won't know what hit it."

Jon's lips curled slightly at the corner, but his expression remained grim. "We'll be back before you know it."

With that, the brothers rode off into the night, their figures disappearing into the darkness. The task ahead was immense, but there was no turning back. Harry and Daenerys stood side by side, watching them go, knowing that the future of the North—perhaps the entire realm—depended on their success.

—

As Jon and Robb departed on their mission, the air around Moat Cailin seemed to thrum with the weight of their departure. The stone walls, newly reinforced with magical wards, loomed large in the dimming light, casting long shadows over the quiet ground. Dany watched them go, her posture graceful but with a palpable sense of intrigue. She turned her attention back to Harry, her eyes reflecting the setting sun as she spoke, her French accent lacing her words. "Harry, tell me... Have you placed any wards around Winterfell? I sensed that the fortress is protected by formidable enchantments."

Harry's gaze flicked from the direction of Jon and Robb to the towering walls of Moat Cailin. His mind, ever calculating, weighed the question carefully. "The wards around Winterfell, no, they're not of my doing," he began, voice low and thoughtful. "They were in place long before I arrived. Ancient, almost as if they were built into the very stones themselves. From what I can tell, those wards go back centuries—perhaps even millennia—woven into the foundation of the keep, carved by the hands of the First Men."

Dany tilted her head, her curiosity piqued. "You believe these wards are connected to the legends of Bran the Builder?"

Harry's brow furrowed in contemplation. He took a step forward, as though the weight of his thoughts was pulling him deeper into the past. "Bran the Builder is more than just a tale told around the hearth in the North. He is said to be the architect of Winterfell, the Wall, Storm's End, even the Hightower. But... I suspect there's more to him than simple engineering. Whispers I've heard suggest Bran wasn't just a skilled mason or architect—he may have wielded magic. Strong magic. The kind that transcends what we know today."

Dany's eyes gleamed with the glint of understanding, her voice tinged with fascination. "So... you believe Bran was a wizard?"

Harry's gaze shifted, his excitement now palpable as he continued. "Exactly. Magic isn't something we talk about openly here in Westeros, but I've seen enough to know that the legends surrounding Bran the Builder are more than stories. His connection to the ancient structures we see today, like Winterfell and the Wall, suggests he had knowledge—perhaps even mastery—of an old kind of magic. It's possible that the magic woven into these structures isn't just for protection or defense, but that they were built to last, to endure."

Dany's fingers brushed through her hair, her mind racing as she absorbed his words. "If Bran the Builder used magic in his constructions, then perhaps the Wall, Storm's End, and even the Hightower are far more than they seem," she said, a spark of determination lighting in her eyes. "What if they contain hidden spells? What if these places hold more than just ancient stone?"

Harry nodded gravely, his voice taking on a deeper, almost reverent tone. "The Wall itself, Dany... It's no ordinary barrier. There's something more to it, something tied to the ancient magics of old. It's been keeping the dead at bay for centuries. It's not just made of ice and stone—there's an enchantment within it, something designed to hold back forces we still don't fully understand. The same goes for places like Storm's End. It's always stood, no matter the storms. Why?"

He took a step toward her, eyes now alight with a flicker of excitement. "It's not just the winds. It's magic. I believe Bran knew things we don't yet grasp. And the Valyrians, too. Their mastery over dragons, their control of fire and blood—was it the result of a long-forgotten magic? Blood magic, perhaps? If Bran wasn't alone in understanding the depth of that kind of power, maybe the Valyrians were in the same league, manipulating the forces of nature and the elements themselves."

Dany looked at Harry with a mixture of awe and growing realization. Her thoughts were swirling now. "The dragon eggs, Harry," she said, her voice soft but laced with intensity. "The ones you've kept hidden. Do you think they are tied to this ancient magic you speak of?"

Harry's fingers brushed against the fabric of his robe, as though feeling the weight of the mystery still untold. "When I first felt the connection to those eggs, I knew there was something more to them. They're not just relics of the Valyrians' past—they're vessels of ancient magic. The way the dragons were controlled, how they were bonded to the Valyrians... That wasn't simple taming. It was sorcery. A bond forged in the crucible of magic and blood, perhaps through spells older than we can imagine."

Dany's eyes widened, her breath catching slightly as the implications of his words sank in. "So, you think the eggs... they could hold the key to understanding the true nature of the Valyrians' power?"

Harry met her gaze, his face serious yet filled with resolve. "I do. I think these eggs hold secrets—secrets about the Valyrians and their mastery over dragons, and perhaps secrets about magic that could shape the very future of Westeros. If we can uncover what's hidden within them, we may understand the origins of their power, and how we might unlock it."

Her gaze lingered on him, her mind racing with possibilities. "So it's not just about controlling dragons. It's about understanding the magic that bound them to the Valyrians."

"Exactly," Harry said. "The dragons were never just beasts to be controlled. They were partners in a deep, ancient pact, a bond forged through magic. If we can uncover how that bond was created, maybe we can understand how to wield it. Perhaps even turn it to our advantage."

Dany's breath quickened, a sense of purpose dawning in her eyes. "You think... we can reclaim that power?"

Harry's smile was small but resolute. "I believe so. But it will take time, patience, and a great deal of magic. And when the time is right, we will be ready."

As the last light of day dipped below the horizon, their conversation was interrupted by the soft sounds of horses approaching. Jon and Robb were back, their mission complete for now, and with them, the weight of the world seemed to press a little closer. But Harry and Dany, as they exchanged a final, knowing glance, knew the real journey was just beginning.

Together, they would uncover the lost magic of Westeros, and with it, reshape the destiny of their world.
