I had a lot of trouble coming up with a title until I gave up.

This was going to be my entry for the asoiafbigbang in Tumblr, but it was impossible for me to finish it, so I'm posting this chapter by chapter here, on the internet, enjoy.

Huge thanks to RedSmileyFace for beta reading!

Prologue is short, very short.

Prologue

"It's cold." Someone said. Benjen Stark turned to see that one of the muggle sailors that came with them had spoken.

"Aye." he answered, seeing his breath as it came out of his mouth.

"Too cold for August, I would say," the seasoned sailor spoke again, "but I admit it, weather has been weird lately."

Benjen didn't answer, but gave a simple nod.

Both men stayed on the deck for a couple of minutes before they felt the boat shake slightly. "What was that?" asked might not be a sailor, but he knew that was not normal.

"Is just impossible," the sailor muttered, "bloody impossible." He kept cursing as he ran to the other side of the deck and Benjen on the other side of the boat.

Ice.

The sea was starting to freeze.

"Shit!"

"What the fuck does this mean?!" a younger muggle sailor asked, and Benjen crossed looks with his fellow brother, clad in black and with a grim expression.

"Winter is Coming."
