TYRION
When the Wight came out of the crate Tyrion was tempted to destroy the thing and almost lost control. He walks up to a servant standing nearby, "Wine please..."
"I think I need a drink as well..." Jaime says joining him. They drink and so do many of the knights and lords gathered in the hall. "Still want to go to the Wall brother?"
"Even more so now..." Tyrion goes to the library with Maester Aemon and they look up books on the Long Night, Azor Ahai, Brandon the Builder. "Maester! Take a look at this..."
He reads, "And Azor used the his sword Lightbringer to end the Long Night...But the Night King fled into the Lands of always winter. And Bran the Builder used his magic to build the wall with the help of the Giants..."
Tyrion starts reading, "And the Free Folk would not bend the knee to Bran the Builder so they fled beyond the wall to live their lives and worship the old gods...But Bran the Builder left tunnels beneath the wall so that the Free Folk could escape should the Night King return..."
The next morning after breakfast Tyrion meets with his sister the Queen and Jaime. "We all need to write father and tell him what we saw..."
Jaime huffs, "He'll never believe it."
"He will if we all write him saying the same thing...House Lannister needs to be ready and it must contribute all we can to defeat these things..." They write the letters and send them by messenger. Then Tyrion meets with Lord Commander Mormont. "Lord Commander..."
"Lord Tyrion..."
"I need to show you something..." He gives him the book and allows him to read.
"Interesting..."
"Interesting indeed...You need men Lord Commander so why not make a pack with the Wil...I mean Free Folk and offer them sanctuary in exchange for their help in manning the walls and fighting these White Walkers..."
"If only I could...The King or the Warden of the North would have to make that deal...And if they accepted that deal where would we put them?"
"What about the gift..." Benjen Stark says; neither Tyrion or Jeor noticed him walk up. "The Watch doesn't use it..."
Tyrion looks up at Mormont and he sighs, "I will have to speak with Lord Stark and the King about this..."
Tyrion wanted to laugh at his brother and sister as neither of them could find a place to be together as it seemed every inch of Winterfell had a guard stationed for some reason. So either Eddard Stark knew or he didn't trust his guests. He laughed at the their frustration for many days to come. The day finally came when Robert leaves for the Capital. Tyrion hugs his brother, niece, and nephews before he leaves with Jeor and his men for Castle Black.
"In the meantime I will be accompanying you to the Wall..."
Ned takes his daughters Sansa and Arya and his son Bran who will be Squired to Ser Barristan; his journey to Knighthood just starting. Tyrion rides up to Eddard Stark before they depart on the King's Road. "Lord Stark..."
"Yes..."
"I like you so a word of advice while in King's Landing...Trust no one and assume everyone is lying..."
"Safe journey Lord Tyrion..."
He nods and rides off. They ride through the countryside and as they do they are joined by men from all over the North sent by the Lords of the North to join the watch. Some are second and third sons. Others are criminals who were given another chance to take the black. By the time they reach Castle Black over one hundred new recruits had come to join. Some already know how to use a sword, others do not and there are those who have skills like masonry and smithing. As the King's brother by law Tyrion is allowed to stay in the King's tower.
"How do you find your quarters?" Jeor asks Tyrion.
"Very adequate thank you...My siblings and I wrote my Lord father about what we saw...So I expect you will get some help from House Lannister..."
"A pity we couldn't bring that thing around to all the Houses of Westeros..."
"To many witnesses saying the same thing...They should believe...The King and Queen saw it with their own eyes...I have never seen Robert sober up so quickly..." They laugh, "Aid will come my Lord."
"Many Rangers have been coming back reporting villages empty and reports of the Wildlings gathering in the frost fangs...One of our former brothers Mance Rayder calls himself the King Beyond the Wall...So I may just take your advice and make a deal with Manceā¦"
"Sounds like the person to speak with on an alliance..."
Later Tyrion goes atop the wall to take a piss as he originally intended to do. When he returns to the bottom a horn sounds for returning Rangers. The man is actually dead. The next night Tyrion is unable to sleep so he decides to go for a walk. As he is walking he spots something strange and follows a man to Commander Mormonts Quarters. Tyrion freezes as the man knocks the door down with one punch. "What the hell!" He hears Jeor scream. Tyrion runs into the room and gasps as Mormont repeatedly stabs the man. There is no blood nor does he seem to be in pain.
Tyrion summons his power and the fire leaps out of the fire place and burns the White. It screeches as it burns and then it hits the floor. Mormont stares at Tyrion, "How did you do that?"
"Swear to me my Lord that you will never tell another living soul what I did..."
"I swear." He says as men run into the room.
"Lord Commander are you alright?" A young man named Pyp asks.
