Thank you to everyone who has favourited or is following the story.

There wasn't great ranging. In the books one of their goals was discovering why the wildlings had left their villages close to the Wall. But since the castles had been reopened and more people had arrived to live at the Wall, and they went beyond the Wall more frequent, the Night's Watch thought those changes made the wildlings leave.

They supposed that sooner or later Mance Rayder would attack but there were thousands of men to defend the Wall full length, so they said let's try it. (Plus, in this timeline, without Jon and Ghost, they had never met wights.)

So the best scenario is if the horn is still there in the Fist of the First Men.


Fury

Catelyn is surprised when Jeyne visits her late at night. And her surprise only grows and turns to fury when the girl tells her with rushed words what has just happened.

Thanks to all the gods, Jeyne looks more embarrassed than anything else, still, that kind of behavior is completely unacceptable.

"Stay here," Catelyn says to her and goes to find Cregan Karstark.

He arrived today with his nephew as it was planned, but Lord Karstark changed his route and followed Robb to the Wall.

Both men are just like how Catelyn remembers them. While Lord Harrion is courteous and calm, Lord Cregan is spiteful and hot-tempered but she has never thought he would dare to insult a member of Winterfell's household.

Catelyn finds him in the great hall where he is arguing with his nephew in a low but feverish voice.

"I did nothing." His speech is blurred. He must have drunk. "And what does it matter if I did anyway, Harry? That girl is just the steward's daughter and…"

"And the wife of my son," Catelyn interrupts harshly.

They turn to her. Harrion Karstark who has no reason to seems ashamed, Lord Cregan, on the other hand, is ready to fight.

Before he could answer, however, his nephew starts speaking.

"Of course. I beg your pardon, Lady Stark. My uncle returns to Karhold, immediately, and will wait for my lord father and me there."

Indignantly, Cregan Karstark wants to protest, though he should obey that order. And if he does not leave for his nephew's word, Catelyn will throw him out.

She hears the sound of shoes stamping and nails scratching on the stones. Sansa and Arya appear with two wrathful direwolves in tow. But instead of Lady and Nymeria it's Sansa who draws Catelyn's attention to herself.

Her face is red with anger, her hands curl into fists. And she is snarling like her wolf.

"If Jon was here, if Ghost and Storm were here, you would be torn apart. But Lady could do it too. She did it before. If you try to touch any of us again. If you go near any of us again."

Arya – whatever she wanted to say – only nods, stunned.

Harrion Karstark stares at Sansa as if he seeing her for the first time.

"You have heard. My Lord. You have to leave," Catelyn declares. "And it is better if you leave now."
