Asshai.
The Exiled king walked in the dark corridors of the mansion, a paper in his hand. He stood in front of a door and hesitated for a moment. He feared the "man" inside the room, but his thirst for power and revenge was even greater.
After he knocked on the door, he heard the familiar deep and melodious voice telling him to come inside. He stepped into the darkened room and although he barely could see anything in the dark, he knew his "partner" was there watching him.
"Any news?" he heard the man speak.
"My sister is at Winterfell attending the wedding of Eddard Stark youngest son and Robert's Baratheon's daughter. Our allies are among the guests, my lord."
The man smiled as he noticed how difficult was for the proud former king to call him lord.
"The pieces are moving, we need them to create dissension among the people of westeros and force them to go to war with the Dothraki…I trust you send one of your people to Vaes Dothrak" the man asked.
Viserys answered "It has been done my lord, I believe those barbarians are easily to manipulate…soon our enemies will destroy each other and I will be able to reclaim my throne."
He bowed his head and quickly added "Of course, I will rule as your vassal"
Viserys knew the man's ambition to rule the much larger continent of essos. Only the dothraki were powerful enough to challenge him. Quart, Yiti and the three slavers cities of Astapor, Yunkai and meeren were ruled by puppets he controlled at will.
At that moment two guards entered carrying a girl that struggled in vain to free herself. There were tears in her eyes.
"What a waste" Viserys thought, noticing the great beauty the Dothraki girl possessed.
"I take my leave, my lord" the former king said, but the voice of the man stopped him.
"Stay and watch" he ordered and smiled sinisterly.
Viserys paled as the man stepped out of the shadows and now he could clearly see his features.
"What's your name?" she asked the girl in her native tongue. The girl was truly scared, she had heard strange stories about him, but she stared at him with defiance
"My name is Irri" She flinched as he extended his hands and she felt the cold touch of his skin.
"Let me go" she demanded. The man smiled and now two long fangs could be clearly seen in his mouth.
"I like your spirit, girl…perhaps you are worthy of the dark gift" Viserys closed his eyes as the screams began
Winterfell
"They are all idiots" Gregor whispered to Joffrey
"I just can't wait until Viserys return"
Both men were very ambitious and lusted for power. They had enjoyed their friendship with the former king, but queen daenerys didn't trust them at all.
Joffrey's anger only increased as Sansa Stark ignored him. They were betrothed 10 years ago but the compromise had been broken by Sansa Herself as she realized the kind of person he truly was.
He watched as the crow flew with another message he sent to King's landing. "Soon" he whispered
The snow had mostly melted, and after lunch, preparations were made for the queen to travel to the wall. Most of the guests would be travelling south, but a few would accompany her to the wall, as they were also curious to see it and also the wild lands.
All the Starks, Renly Baratheon and his best friend and lover Loras Tyrell, Margaery Tyrell, and the Martells accompanied the queen on her journey. The journey lasted all afternoons, the travellers feeling how the temperature was slowly lowering as the moved further North.
Finally, when the sun was beginning to set, they caught their first glimpse to the wall.
"By the gods" was all Daenerys could say. She had heard stories of how imposing it was, but those stories fell short to describe its magnificence.
The travellers made a quick stop at Castle black, as the lord commander checked on the repairs, which were already underway. Arya couldn't help but notice the grim appearance of all the members of the order, it was clear that all of them were experienced warriors.
It was obvious to her that titles or class differences didn't exist here, as they didn't waste time with court formalities. These were practical men.
Finally, Jon led the queen and the others towards the top of the wall, as they desired to see the wild lands. When they arrived, Arya's eyes widened as she watched the lands that lied beyond the wall, unconsciously she grabbed Jon's arm. It was true that she had watched their memories, but that didn't compare to seeing it with her own eyes
Robb now understood Tyrion words as he referred to these lands as the "real North". Even Lyanna, who had travelled the continent of essos looking for a cure, was impressed as this was perhaps the harsher land she has ever seen.
Jon began to explain as he pointed to the shapes of far away mountains in the north. "Those mountains are the highest in all westeros, and beyond them lies the land of always winter"
