THE LONG NIGHT

SALADHOR SAAN

Down through the ages the Night King's power has increased from green-seeing, ice/snow/weather manipulation, animating the dead, and warging to include; illusions, and mind control. It took two weeks for him to gain control of the pirate Saladhor Saan. He did control Euron Greyjoy, but the prince killed him, before he could make real use of the fool.

Saladhor Saan sails his ship north towards the eastern shore fifty miles north of Hardhome. He and his crew are under the influence of the Night King. Ater dropping anchor men row ashore on longboats to pick him up. After the Night King and all his minions are aboard ship they set sail for Pentos. They arrive at night and when men come aboard to inspect the ship, most are killed and two are turned into Walkers.

Then they are unleashed on the city. The Night King summons a snow storm in Pentos and animates the dead in the city graveyard. When his work is done the Night King has Saladhar sail south towards Dorne.

JAEHAERYS

The skies turn dark and the snows fall, as a fog rolls towards the wall. Jaehaerys was born of fire and ice. Standing atop the wall he raises his hands and uses his magic to stop the snow storm, the wind, and the fog. From behind the fog an ice spear flies at him. The spear shatters on his valyrian armor. He points his hand at a torch, the fire leaps off the torch and to his gloved hand. Then Jae hurls the fire into the fog.

Then thousands upon thousands of Wights rush out of the fog, snarling and screeching. "Let the arrows fly!" Jaehaerys commands signaling with his hand. They use the dragonglass arrows first and launch jars of wildfire from the wall. The sky is lit up by huge green explosions. Trees and wights burst into flames.

Jaehaerys walks towards Rhaexor, climbs onto the Dragon and commands it to fly. As they climb higher into the air, ice spears are thrown at them from below. Rhaexor flies high and loops around diving into the fog. "Dracarys!" The flames split the fog and light up the forest incinerating hundreds of Wights.

As Rhaexor pulls up Jae vanishes in a burst of fire and reappears on the ground. He draws his sword, it bursts into fire as he attacks. He cuts down seven Wights and just before they overwhelm him, he unleashes a great light from his sword. Then he teleports back up to the top of the wall.

PRINCE AEMON – SABLE HALL

The attack on the wall happens at the same time all along the wall. Aemon is responsible for defending six castles. From Eastwatch to Sable Hall. Aemon mounts his Dragon and flies. From above his Dragon lays down the flames attempting to dwindle the numbers of the enemy. As he is pulling up from his third attack, when a huge bolder flies pass him and his Dragon. The bolder hits the wall knocking off huge chunks of ice.

Aemon orders his Dragon to fly in the direction the boulder came from. As they do two more boulders fly pass them. Aer tackles the Giant and blasts it in the face with his fire. Then he whips his tail around and knocks the other giant off its feet. Aemon hurls a dragonglass spearhead into the giant as Aer flies off.

They loop around and attack again. There is fire everywhere from the flaming arrows, hurled jars of wildfire, and fire from Aemon's Dragon. As Aer is flying up, an ice spear strikes his Dragon in the side, but it is saved by the Valyrian Dragon armor. Sensing his Dragon's fatigue, they fly to the other side of the wall to rest. Food is bought for Aer.

"My Prince! Do you need anything?" Ser Oakheart asks. "Some food would be nice." Aemon sits by his dragon eating and when he is done he goes up to the top of the wall. This section of the wall is under his command with Mance serving as second.

"We just received word from Long Barrow. After your rested, they need you and your Dragon there."

"Right!" An hour passes before Aer is ready to fly. The flight to Long Barrow takes a short time, by Dragon anyway. When he arrives Aemon finds that the Walkers have built a five-hundred-foot-tall ice mesa. The Giants are on top hurling boulders over the wall destroying buildings, killing and enjuring men as well.

"Dracarys!" Aemon commands bathing the top of the mesa, killing all four giants. As they pull up two Walkers hurl ice spears at them. Aemon directs his Dragon to fly to the top of the wall. "Give me a jar of Wildfire!" He commands. They latch the wildfire to the side of his saddle. Then he takes off and drops the Wildfire on top of the ice Mesa. As it melts and collapses, the people cheer.

Aemon lands behind the wall to help tend the wounded.

TYRION

Tyrion must protect all the castles between Westwatch by the Bridge and Hoarfrost Hill. The defenders were holding their own at Shadow Tower, so he flies to Greyguard, the fourth castle on the wall. He finds Giants throwing Wights to the top of the wall, but the magic of the wall is still strong and those that fly over the wall explode into dust.

Some reach the top of the wall and fight, but the defenders still have the numbers. Tyrion dives on the Giants, with his brother sitting behind him. The flames from Tyrion's Dragon, destroys five Giants. The other two go running back towards the tree line. "Hold on brother!" Tyrion shouts as they loop around and dive at the Giants.

At the last minute Joa pulls up, because of the ice spears aimed at her face, which is unprotected. "Take me to the top of the wall!" Jaime yells.

He nods, "We'll both go! Get ready to jump!" As Joa flies low over the wall the two brothers leap off Joa's back. Tyrion lands cutting a wight in half with his Valyrian sword. Jaime lands on a wight and impales it on his sword. The two brothers fight side by side through the wights on the wall. When the fighting is done Tyrion and Jaime go down the lift to meet Joa.

THE NIGHT KING

Meanwhile the Night King lands on the outermost land mass strutting out from the mainland. The Castle of Ghost Hill is just a few miles march from where he landed. The Night King summons an ice storm and begins blanketing the south in snow and ice. When he reaches the castle, he animates the dead in the ancestral home of House Toland.

The surrounding villages had been abandoned, but he the graves are what he is after. By the time he is done the Night King has 50, 000 wights marching him. They turn towards the Water Gardens and Sunspear. Along the way they slaughter a village of two hundred people and with the raising of his hands the dead villagers rise again. On they march adding to their numbers, when they reach the water Gardens, no one is there.

ARIANNE

While her father and Uncle are away fighting. Princess Arianne rules in Dorne. She awakens one day to heavy snow and cold wins. "Snow in Dorne." She says to her brother Quentyn.

"If this keeps up our people will freeze."

"No, we are prepared. The Lords of the North sent fur clothing."

"I 'd had best check on the food stores then."

Before Quentyn walks away, a guard bursts into the solar. "Forgive me My Princess, my Prince. I just came from the water gardens...It was horrible. First the water, trees, and flowers froze over in a matter of seconds. Then these things...Dead people were walking! They had blue eyes...we tried to stop them, but there were too many."

"Ser Daemon!"

"Princess."

"Arouse the men...we are under attack."

"By whom?"

It was high noon, but the clouds covered the sun and snow keeps falling. That is when the attack came. Thousands of wights came snarling and hissing as they attacked Sunspear. Even though it was a surprise attack Arianne and her defenders were not completely unprepared. They have dragonglass and Valyrian weapons. As the battle unfolds ravens fly across Dorne to warn the other lords.

The walls of the castle give the defenders the advantage. After an hour they stop attacking. "They've stopped." Arianne says to her brother."

"Yeah, but why?"

THE NIGHT KING

He needed more troops so the Night King called off the attack and marched towards Planky Town which is being evacuated at the moment. Some people head for Sunspear others Lemonwood. Those heading for Sunspear are slaughtered and added to the Night King's army. Then he animates the dead in the graveyard.

From Plunky Town he marches to Lemonwood. One of his Walkers freezes the main gate and shatters it. The defenders are overwhelmed, killed, and reanimated. From Lemonwood the Night King and his growing horde march west towards Salt Shore. Salt Shore is ruled by House Gargalen. He animates the dead and is able to take everyone inside.

JAEHAERYS

Jae retires from battle to rest and then go looking for the Night King again. He sleeps for two hours and then he eats. Before returning to battle, he stairs into the flames. And is shocked to see Dorne under a snow storm. Also, Vaith, Salt Shore, Planky Town and Lemonwood had been attacked. Somehow the Night King had gotten south of the wall, all the way to Dorne.

He finds a closed off area and vanishes in a ball of fire. He reappears in Sunspear, "My King!"

"Arianne..." He stops her from hugging him and his armor us still hot, "...I am so sorry I should have been here. I underestimated the Night King."

"We were able to hold them off and they retreated."

"To animate more dead for his army. They've attacked Planky Town, Lemonwood, Salt Shore and Vaith." Through the fire Jae watches as they march on Godsgrace. He teleports in a ball of fire and unleashes a torrent of flames from his sword on the horde of wights. Jae bends down and touches the snowy ground.

Huge spikes of ice rise up impaling the wights. Suddenly he is struck in the back by an ice-spear. The valyiran armor saves him, shattering against it. Jae falls forward, but covers himself in a dome of ice as the wights and two walkers. They slam their weapons against the ice trying to break through. One of the walkers places his hand on the dome of ice trying to overpower Jae's magic.

The dome shatters and he is gone. Jae reappears on the ramparts. He raises his hands and the snow stops falling the fog clears. He spots the Night King, who hurls an ice spear at him. Jae vanishes in ball of fire and appears behind the Night King who draws his ice sword. Jae draws his sword and fights the Night King and two Walkers.

When the Wights try to rush him, Jae unleashes a huge wave of fire from his sword. The Night King stumbles and his Walkers hit the ground. Jae throws a Valyrian dagger at one of them, destroying it. Then he attacks the Night King, Jae's magic giving him speed equal to that of the Night King's speed. When the Walker gets to it's feet, Jae unleashes a great light blinding the Night King...

VISERYS

When Pentos was attacked Viserys was in Lorath expanding his growing kingdom. His army celebrates their latest victory when word comes from Pentos of the dead rising and attacking the city. Viserys dawns his armor, grabs his sword, and mounts his Dragon. Off they fly heading southwest across Lorath Bay. They cross the bay in half a day's time and fly over the mountains. When they reach the plains, Argon spots a herd of goats for food.

"Eat and then we leave." He commands in Valyrian.

The Dragon dives on the herd of wild goats and cooks them with his fire. Argon eats twelve before he is ready to leave. They leave the rocky lands and enter the Flatlands. Fifty miles from Pentos the air grows cold and it is snowing. "Dracarys!" A large gout of fire erupts from Argon's mouth. Snow melts, wights wail as they burn. Viserys orders Argon to attack two more times, before he lands.

He remains mounted on Argon staring into the fire, using his fire sight to find survivors. There is a family hiding in a house in the cellar. Viserys has Argon run to the house and leaps off after smashes a few with his tale, claws, and mouth. He leaps off and goes into the House. "Hello!"

Just before the cellar door opens a wight attacks. He blocks parries and cuts it in half. "My King." The father says.

"Quickly come with me." He leads them to Argon and the girl gasps at the sight of the Dragon. They mount the Dragon and it takes off at Viserys' command. The children scream, the mother closes her eyes and the father smiles like a little boy as Argon flies them to the palace. He drops the family off on the roof of the tower and flies around the castle.

Below hordes of wights are trying to get into palace through the main gates. Viserys flies to the Grey Tower where the nobles bury their dead. "Dracarys!" Argon blasts the tower in the middle and it falls over destroying the wights. All day and night they fight. Then a few hours before the sun comes up the wights stop moving and die.

"Well done nephew." Viserys says sitting on Argon.
