A Song of Magic and Death
Huldaria
A year has passed since Huldaria has become a Stark, the surprise of the Stark siblings actually accepting her was welcomed and in that year she came to know the three and maybe a fourth by how Lyarra had said.
She had heard stories of the Wall and the monstrous beings beyond it, Huldaria already decided to travel there and maybe even find answers by being close to almost dying and maybe Grin or Death finally give her the answers she demanded.
Having to tell her adopted family was the hardest point to begin the journey, Lyarra was worried and Rickard held a grim look on his face. Brandon was hesitant and sad while Ned had a frown so deep Huldaria was worried it might become permanent, Lyanna's face was twisted into a frown which made Huldaria gently brush the tense muscle of her sister's face to relax them.
"Frowning doesn't suit you."she said.
Goodbyes and hugs were given, she gave promises to try and visit often and bring items back for the children. Riding was never her thing, a horse was way different compared to a broom and about 2 miles down the trail she gave up and allowed the horse to go back or in reality it was able to buck her off and ran back…
So now here she was standing on the road, with only the supplies on her back and horseless, sitting in the dirt she thought of ways to get herself to the wall; one was to levitate and make-shift fly, two she could try and apparate, three she could get someone to take her there.
Levitating would be taxing and Huldaria was pretty sure no one here would appreciate to see a girl flying in the sky, apparating is risky since she hasn't really been there and the possible splinching could occur and the last one seemed the safest yet most danger.
After about twenty minutes of thinking and her head hurting she came up with a decision to travel alone and mostly in the woods, putting a feather light charm on her bag she had the wand charmed to point north. Starting to walk the direction of north Huldaria was in for a walk of her life.
Two weeks later
Huldaria sat hunched at her fire, her long red hair flew around and in her face from the angry cold wind from the north, her eyebrows pinched into a frown as she held her cloak tighter around her body to keep the cold air out.
She looked up as a snap of a twig came making her body tense and her gloved right hand tighten around her wand, slowly standing to her legs she stared out into the darkness of the woods she had made camp at and suddenly bright brown eyes glared back at her from across her fire.
Her heart started to beat with shock and fright as she weary looked at the direwolf standing not even a meter away, shifting her weight from one foot to another her eyes narrowed at the great beast.
With a great huff the wolf walked around the fire revealing beautiful shades of browns in the wolf's fur, settling down into the snow the direwolf drifted off to sleep completely ignoring the shocked red head before her, Huldaria actually realizing it was a she.
Sitting back down Huldaria cautiously placed a hand on the she wolf's belly, all the animal did was grunt and continue to slumber. Soon laying down and curling into the warm fur she was out like a light not realizing the fire was gone by the snow in the wind.
The next day she awoke to find brown eyes meeting her green ones, slowly standing she cautiously shouldered her supply bag and walked away from the she wolf continuing on her trek through the now deep snow that came to her knees.
Tripping on something underneath it she heard the wolf's scoff and turning to glare at the direwolf on her knees Huldaria stood back up again and continued on.
Suddenly she felt something following behind her and stopped turning to see the wolf was walking behind her.
"... Shoo."she said waving her hand and turned to walk.
She paused after five steps and turned seeing the wolf still behind her following.
"Look I'm grateful for the warmth you gave me last night, but your a wolf I'm a human it wouldn't work out."she said and the wolf gave a scoff.
"Did you just scoff at me?"Huldaria gave a glare, the wolf giving the expression of 'what are you gonna do about?'.
About ten minutes in arguing with a wolf she sighed and turned to keep walking away shaking her head mumbling about wolves. That is until a large head pushed through her legs and forced her to slid down and sit on the warm furry back.
"... I'm not gonna ask."
Four weeks later
Currently standing at the huge ice wall she gave a low whistle and raised an eyebrow.
"Thats one big wall."she said as the she wolf gave a gruff growl in agreement, over the last two weeks Huldaria came to appreciate her odd companion even though it was a huge wolf that could have her for a snack.
"I wonder how we're gonna get over it."Huldaria said patting the large brown head and in response all she got was a grunt.
"Your wise wisdom always blows away our problems Hermione."Huldaria said with sarcasm in her voice.
Two hours later…
Sneaking into a small place full of men wasn't the exact plan, or was it any better to have a large direwolf right behind you as you tried to keep out of sight of men dressed in black with swords at their belts.
"Great just great, and now to find a way over the huge ice heap."she hissed to herself crouched down behind a building as a group of the said men walked past, Hermione gruffed and nudged her with the wolf's great snout.
"I don't see you helping with this situation."Huldaria growled at her and Hermione growled back.
"Who are you?"a gruff voice demanded, coldness washed over her as her eyes widened connecting with narrowed brown, pulling out her wand she pointed it at the man.
"Imperio."She said watching his eyes glaze over in a trance. "Take us over the wall without anyone finding is."
The man slowly turned and walked away, Hermione and Huldaria following right behind him.
A few close calls and a journey in darkness Huldaria and Hermione walked out of the hidden door, turning she erased his memory of seeing them and sent him back to where he found them.
The wild wilderness of the North was a chilling beauty the witch would never forget this moment, after about a few miles into the forest she finally undid the spell around her and the wolf, pausing she turned and stared right into intelligent brown eyes.
"Look you can leave whenever you want, we both made it here."she said as the wolf scoffed and didn't move.
"Into the wild North we go."Huldaria said turning to walk deeper into the chilling cold her wolf companion at her side.
AN:
How I manage this is beyond me, the next chapter will be better since it will give as many answers as Huldaria can yanked out of Grin's mouth.
Grin: I didn't sign up for this shit.
Shut up and get back in the field, revises have been done to adjust to the ages between Lyanna and Eddard.
