Hey hello everyone! What's up guys? I'm back and thank you for liking and following a crossover story between WarCraft and A Song of Ice and Fire titled, "Conjurer of the North" in its first chapter. The second chapter of the story is here and thanks for your patience. In this chapter, Anna Winterbloom, the last Conjurer encounters Ned Stark, the lord of Winterfell and the company of his two sons, a bastard, a ward and his group of household guards on their way back to Winterfell.

In the future chapters later then that I've been going through a lot in my mind and drafts in paper lately, I might involve the Alliance and the Horde into this story, resulting to the meddling in the affairs of Westeros. The problem is...how to get them there and what role do they play into the game of thrones that one must win or die at all costs? Well anyways, ideas, suggestions, advise will be welcomed in the reviews and I'm all ears for that.

Edit: I made some few edits to fix my mistakes according to the reviews of this chapter. Hehehehe. My bad.

Disclaimer: I own nothing of the two awesome fantasy/medieval franchises that I swear to the old gods and the new under the godswood. WarCraft universe from RTS to MMORPG and A Song of Ice and Fire novel series respectively belong to Blizzard Entertainment and George R.R. Martin himself. Can't wait for the WarCraft 2016 movie coming soon and the upcoming release of Game of Thrones TV series Season 5 and The Winds of Winter! *hyped!

Enjoy reading and don't forget to review. Comments, criticisms and advise will do but no flame please. I have yet to get a fire extinguisher when I needed one lol! :D

Chapter 2

Looking at the young and beautiful but apparently very fierce-looking woman with black of hair and brown eyes, wearing clothing almost resembling that of a simple northern noblewoman's clothes, including a strange pointed hat and wielded a staff and a longsword of unknown designs never seen before in Westeros, Ned looked at the young woman with suspicion while displaying a cold and grim look.

The middle-aged lord of House Stark with his two sons from his beloved wife, Catelyn of House Tully, a bastard son of an unknown woman he laid with during the last moments of Robert's Rebellion against the Targaryen dynasty, a ward from the Greyjoys after the failed Greyjoy Rebellion for the Iron Islands' independence from the Seven Kingdoms and the small company of Winterfell household guards were just about to journey on their way home to the capital of The North after capturing and executing a Night's Watch deserter who claimed to have seen the Others and wights while on a patrol for wildling incursion outside the Wall before he fled from his post in complete fear of the encounter and warned of their coming but Ned deemed the poor boy's words of warning as ravings of a madman in belief of the non-existence of the mysterious race of beings of living ice and death for 8,000 years and had executed him personally as faithfully following the old ways of the First Men with his Valyrian steel greatsword of his House, Ice in front of his young son Bran as part of his teachings of the old way in the North just as he did with Robb, Jon and Theon, too despite his lady wife's protests.

While on their way back home, the company ran into a dead stag lying on the Kingsroad and then later a deceased direwolf mother who has six direwolf pups left to fend for themselves at the nearby riverbank, which were taken in into the family by his young son, Bran's pleading and his bastard son, Jon Snow's convincing words. These sightings might have been warnings from the old gods and the new that something bad is coming for the realm along with the long winter fast set to approach at the end of the long summer as stated in his House words of a grave warning than that of a boast: 'Winter is coming.'

As they were about to continue on their trip back home, they heard a loud scream of frustration that of a woman and assumed that person might have been in trouble with either by a band of wildlings who managed to get through the Wall past the Night's Watch wandering in the lands of the Umbers or a couple of thieves and bandits roaming around the countryside of the cold North. This prompted Ned and his men to investigate where the scream came from while his eldest son and heir of Winterfell, Robb watching over his little brother Bran with his ward Theon Greyjoy helping alongside his best friend including Jon Snow for protection just in case. When they arrived on the scene, that's where they saw a lone strange woman appearing to be on a defensive fighting stance against anyone trying to go near her when she noticed Lord Stark and his men's presence. Considering from her fierceness and the skill with her weapons should she fight, she might have been taken for a Mormont, one of Ned's most loyal bannermen from Bear Island mostly composed of women warriors of great skill and strength that of twenty or more men and of bears hence the name of their house led by Lady Maege Mormont.

Apparently that young woman sensed their presence somehow and viewed them as threats should they try dare to provoke her as she looked at them but appeared to be surprised of the numbers of his men gathered behind him in their short investigation. He would've sworn seeing her immediate dislike of Theon's smile on her face for obvious reasons concerning the reputation of Balon's last and only son and heir of Pyke at Winterfell with women, or more specifically the whores at the local brothel.

That is when Ned spoke in his cold authoritative voice that somehow made that woman freeze on spot before she even do anything or make a move, catching her off guard. "Why is there a strange woman like you doing out here in these woods in The North?"

His words have made most people feel unnerved and tensed when they're talking to the honorable Ned Stark himself in person and it seemed to work on the mysterious young woman when she appeared to have lost her will to move under the presence of a lord.. that is until Theon spoke with a smile, "Yes, what milord Stark said. Why is there a beautiful strange woman like you wandering around here in The North?"

Then the woman lost her any sign of fear almost immediately when she snarled at Theon, pointing her sword dangerously at the last Greyjoy heir with a hint of killing intent. "You better keep that smile to yourself, you creepy playboy because I'm gonna give you a permanent face-lift after I roast you alive with magic if you keep that up!"

Losing the color of his face in cold sweat and fear, Theon Greyjoy had quickly lost his wits and frowned upon hearing her threat at him, leading some of Ned's sons and his men trying or not even trying to laugh at his misfortune with a fierce girl talking down on the Greyjoy.

Roast him alive with magic? Is she a sorceress?, Ned wondered in his thoughts, concerning from her strange appearance, she might be one. Probably from the Narrow Sea or from Asshai. After all, Thoros of Myr, the Red Priest of R'hllor the Lord of Light hailed from the east before coming to Westeros who was well-known as the first one to charge through the Greyjoy ranks when the Stark-Baratheon forces broke through the walls of Pyke during the Greyjoy Rebellion and one of King Robert Baratheon's drinking buddies and he wears red robes, as well as wielding a sword coated with wildfire and magic long thought to be no longer of this world yet still remain in a dying flame.

"And who the hell do you think you are calling me strange, old man?!", the young woman in robes and a pointy hat yelled in frustration in front of Ned Stark after turning her attention to him. Did she just yell at the lord of Winterfell? No one had the audacity to do that except his best friend Robert Baratheon and his trusted bannerman Howland Reed. Has she lost her mind?

His good and loyal man, Ser Rodrik Cassel, the master-at-arms of Winterfell spoke up in defense of his liege lord he has loyally served for years to the woman after feeling a bit startled by her loud ranting. "You are speaking to Lord Eddard of House Stark, Lord of Winterfell and Warden of The North, milday. Show some respect."

"Oh yeah, and I'm the King Varian of House Wrynn, King of Azeroth and Lord of Stormwind. You should all bow down to me in respect of your king.", the woman talked back theatrically in sarcasm and in a mocking masculine tone of her voice.

That somehow took aback Eddard and the rest of the company including his sons and his ward after hearing that from her which resulted an outrage from his men of the girl's great disrespect to their liege lord they serve. A mysterious young woman just talked back to the Warden of one of the Seven Kingdoms?!. Who is Varian? What is House Wrynn? Is it one of the branches of House Arynn of the Vale that Jon never told me of? And what in the seven hells is Stormwind or Azeroth?!, he thought before observing the woman still looking hostile at him and his company.

While observing her carefully of her fierce face and eyes, Ned had safely assumed that the woman may have a bad history with highborn nobility in the past at some point and might be the reason why she acted hostilely to him in the first place. Although it might not be a good thing for her should she venture south of Westeros where her antagonism might have gone unchecked towards the noble houses down there especially with the Lannisters if she met them. Even much worse at the rats and snakes of a capital they call King's Landing.

That would obviously spell out deep trouble for this mysterious person with that attitude of hers and may be the death of her too as well Lord Stark thought about that before the woman started to act quite aggressively that of a Mormont. She might really fit right in, if only she know how keep her temper in check.

"I'd like to see you try, you bastards! You won't take me for an easy foe to defeat!", she hissed as she conjured up a deadly fireball at the tip of her sword and then summoned a water elemental figure at her side with her staff when some or most of the Stark guards intended to teach her a lesson or two for boldly disrespecting Lord Stark, drawing their weapons. This has scared and provoked the group into a defensive formation in response of the sorceress' display of magic as they drew out their swords.

"Is that magic?... Are you a sorceress, miss?", Bran asked in surprise and amazement when the little lord saw her display of magic.

"Keep back Bran! It's too dangerous!", Jon warned his little cousin out of concern of his safety while Robb and Theon also readied their respective weapons, a bow and arrow, and sword for self-defense but they're up against a strange female individual with the ability to use magic and none of them may have the capability of handling her in such a tensed situation like that.

The young woman suddenly tilted on the ground for unknown reason that Ned couldn't even understand how that happened after hearing his young son's words in response and said in a retort. "Sorceress!? Oh no, little lad! Don't you dare compare me to that wannabe female mages of Dalaran! I'm a Conjurer of Karazhan, you know!"

Conjurer? Is that what she is as a practitioner of magic just like Thoros of Myr? Karazhan and Dalaran? Is that where she hails from?, the lord of Winterfell wondered in thought about the woman's words before ordering his men and sons to halt in order to prevent potential bloodshed in an unneeded skirmish with the female Conjurer much to their confusion but put down their weapons under his orders but the latter still on her hostile mood.

"What is your name?", Ned asked in demand of the woman's name that compelled the latter to give hers in response.

But then suddenly she started to feel pains in the head during the confrontation.

"Anna... Anna... Winterbloom. I... I don't feel so good... My head... hurts...", the female Conjurer replied before starting to feel quite drowsy for a moment ago all of sudden when she introduced her name before losing consciousness afterward which dispelled her fireball and a water elemental she conjured, leaving her body collapsing on the ground with a split of blood and her hat fell off her long black hair including her weapons.

Robb was the first one to rush towards the mysterious young woman named Anna Winterbloom when she collapsed unconscious where he carried her despite her older age like a noble dashing prince carrying a beautiful princess just like how his younger sister Sansa loves that story among the southern fairy tales during her time with Septa Mordane and his mother. "Father, she must have been exhausted using her magic, I think.", he said as he checked her temple for any sign of fatigue or sickness within her but found out that her head's been bleeding with the assumption that Anna hit her head hard before losing consciousness.

Meanwhile, the rest of Eddard's men tread carefully towards the unconscious form of the female Conjurer while making sure their liege lord's son and heir will not be harmed as Jory Cassel, the captain of Lord Stark's household guards picked up Anna's sword and staff in curiosity and wonder as he commented that he never saw such design of the weapons even from the south and childishly he put on her hat that earned a few laughs from his companions when they saw him wearing like that and some of the men peered a look at her books inside her bag but were unable to read the book's pages due to an unknown foreign language and a common language they couldn't understand of its contents written into it just before Robb had ordered him to return it to its rightful owner, displaying his own tone of authority as expected of the eldest son and heir of Winterfell raised as his father's successor in the later years.

"Winterbloom? Is there any such house here in the North, Father?", Jon asked in wonder after Anna revealed her full name prior to losing consciousness to his father. Despite being the bastard despised by Lady Catelyn throughout his life in Winterfell, he knew about his father's bannermen including from the northern mountain clans, the crannogmen and the Skagosi and none of them were named Winterbloom.

"Maybe it's a special bastard name of that girl. Just like you Snow.", Theon said sardonically with a smile at Jon who just ignored his rude comment.

Ned would not tolerate of the Greyjoy boy's cruel words towards Jon Snow any longer. "Watch your tongue Theon, don't speak to Jon in your tone. And for the last name of the young girl, I believe that Winterbloom may have a different meaning other than a bastard or noble name that something she will explain to us once she wakes up."

"Yeah, maybe we should have just let her break that sparkling teeth of yours with the magic sword of hers while we had the chance if you have kept smiling, squid!", one of the Stark guards commented with his fellow comrades laughing behind Theon's back much to his irritation of being insulted like he was lower than shit to them which he actually is.

The other Stark guard added, "You're lucky she wasn't awake to hear you call her bastard, Theon! She might really fry you alive with that fireball of hers she conjured earlier squiddie! I always wondered what fried squids taste like." that greatly irked the Greyjoy boy even much more before Ned stopped their trade of insults and barbs at each other in a stern manner that brought them to silence.

"What are your orders with the young lady, Lord Stark?", Rodrik asked his liege lord while feeling quite disturbed having encountered a young woman who revealed herself to be a practitioner of magic, a power not well-known in the Seven Kingdoms not since the Andals had slaughtered the near majority of the already diminished children of the forest, and the greenseers and the wargs of the First Men after deeming their magic to be abominations in the eyes of their Faith of the Seven they brought from the Hills of Andolos during their invasion of Westeros from Essos centuries ago and the slow decline and disappearance of magic from the world followed by the apparent extinction of dragons of the Targaryens since the Dance of the Dragons.

Sighing grimly, Eddard gave his orders to his loyal men and also his sons and the ward as well. "Take her back with us to Winterfell. She will explain to us once she recovers under Maester Luwin's care and calms down at the proper moment unlike here before. No one must speak of her display of magic to anyone. Keep that to yourselves and no harm may come to her or pilfering of her belongings and weapons under my custody, is that understood?"

Everyone under Lord Stark's service had nodded in comply of the Lord of Winterfell's orders albeit some in reluctance of they have just witnessed as they went back to their horses to continue on their journey back to Winterfell along with the unconscious female Conjurer they've encountered, as Anna Winterbloom was being carried by Robb at his horse while Theon and Bran held on with the six direwolf pups and Jon Snow carried her bag filled with her books, her staff and sword with him.

The last Conjurer is now in the hands of the Starks of Winterfell...

Author's Note: Well the second chapter's done after successfully fighting off writer's block and the third one will be updated anytime soon when you least expect it. In the next chapter, the last Conjurer Anna Winterbloom now ended in the hands of the Starks and now the oh-so-honorable Ned Stark decides her fate while the other people in his family might find her more than her hot-headiness and some view her with suspicion and contempt due to a bad start in their first meeting.

The way Anna acted like that to Lord Eddard Stark will be revealed later in the next chapter which involves in her time back at Azeroth long before she even came to Westeros. Eventually, I've been planning on a solo story of her in a WarCraft fanfic with a title I'll be working on that later in my document drafting and may be set in publishing in a few months later or so. Wish me luck!

Enjoy and don't forget to review. :)
