Reviews

Marina Ka-Fai: I knew you'd like that :)
Earthborn93: Already answered most of this in the PM, but one point I haven't covered yet. You say her rulings about marriage, she didn't make any rulings, nowhere did she saw that this was how things would be now, she merely dealt with one simple case and by focusing on that, you ignored the real issues in that chapter.
raw666: Thanks and trust me, the Envy Demon is nothing but charred ash now, under normal circumstance yes, it would have been problematic, but the Envy Demon was too panicked and trapped in its current form, therefore unable to use its powers to counter Drogon. Regarding the other matters, things are focused more on the bigger picture at the moment, the main threat.
Wolfgirl2013: Thanks :)

Now onto the story.

Solas

Observing from his seat by the desk set up outdoors, Solas couldn't help but marvel at Bran's progress.

'He has practically mastered the Elven language, and learned so much that was forgotten...For a human to do this...' He reflected. 'It would be incredible if it were not so frightening.'

His main concern was Bran finding out the truth too soon; however that did not seem to be the case, yet.

"Solas; you said that, I am learning all this, because it may influence the way things turn out." Bran said suddenly. "But, if what I'm learning is true...is it not too late, I mean..."

Solas shook his head. "It is never too late; Bran...Trust me, this will work."

Bran bit his lip but said nothing, simply nodded. Solas couldn't deny the twinge of guilt he felt at having Bran continue to learn Elvish lore.

The boy already had a hard time dealing with any issues he had to as the acting Lord of Winterfell, while Rickon still recovered under Shireen's gentle care and while Meera was due to give birth to her and Bran's child any day now. But Bran did not complain and in fact seemed eager to learn more.

"I think you are ready Bran." He said at last. "There is just one more thing that needs to be done...but now is not the time."

Bran looked confused but Solas shook his head; he wasn't ready to reveal anything more yet.

He was glad when Bran turned away from the books. For the next passage in the book had caught Solas' eye and he wasn't sure if Bran should see it yet.

'In ancient times' He read the Ancient Elvish writing. 'Only Fen'Harel could walk without fear among both our Gods and the Forgotten Ones, for although he is kin to the Gods of the People, the Forgotten Ones knew of his cunning ways and saw him as one of their own. And that is how Fen'Harel tricked them. Our Gods saw him as a brother and trusted him when he said that they must keep to the Heavens while he arranged a truce. And the Forgotten Ones trusted him also when he said he would arrange for the defeat of our Gods, if only the Forgotten Ones would return to the Abyss for a time. They trusted Fen'Harel and they were all of them betrayed. And Fen'Harel sealed them away so they could never again walk among the people.'

He shook his head. While not an outright lie, like many of the texts, it wasn't the whole truth either.

"Bran!"

Bran turned and Solas also looked up to see Sansa hurrying over to them.

"Sansa?"

She spoke excitedly. "We just got word. Queen Daenerys has won and the army is on its way back home, before they go to the Wall."

Bran's expression brightened considerably at that and Solas couldn't help but smile a little himself. Although it was strained, it would not be long now, the true battle was coming. While the others got ready, Solas slipped away.

Slipping into the Fade he found Flemeth already waiting for him.

"Ah, I was wondering when you'd show up, old friend." She said by way of greeting.

He did not waste time. "We are nearing the brink, Asha'bellanar. The time will soon come, where destiny will rush to meet us."

Flemeth nodded. "But of course, that is how it always is. So, I am to expect him soon?"

Solas sighed. "True, nevertheless, there may be another hope."

"How optimistic of you, but you know better." Flemeth replied. "This will surely be a critical moment for you...for your goal."
Solas said nothing, but she took that as an answer and left.

Before leaving she looked over her shoulder and said. "This moment of destiny, may be our last hope, but you already know that, of course."

She finally left and Solas was alone, or so it seemed. Sighing he turned and looked over to his left.

"Are you just going to hide there and listen in, Cole?"

The young man stepped out of the shadows, regarding Solas with a sad expression.

"So you heard..."

Cole nodded. "Yes, and I know what is you seek...Are you sure?"

"I must be; I have gone too far to stop now." Solas replied. "Will you try to stop me?"

Cole turned away. "No...but I won't help you either."

Solas just nodded, accepting this and left the Fade. He quickly hurried to make his way to the courtyard to join the Starks and the rest of those in Winterfell, ready to greet the returning Northern army.

Solas was pleased to see that those that returned were in good spirits and that especially, the Starks themselves were unhurt. He watched them carefully as they headed the returning army, Eddard, Robb, Arya, Gendry. He was relieved they hadn't suffered too many casualties.

'We are still strong, good, for things are about to become even more dangerous...we will need all the strength we can get.' He reflected.

He remained off to the side as he watched the happy reunions taking place, he knew they were savouring these moments as much as they could, and for good reason. As things were about to get even more serious, they would only be stopping long enough to rest before heading on to the Wall. Later, while they were making their preparations and resting as much as they could, Solas approached Eddard Stark.

"So, it is time, Lord Stark?"

Eddard sighed. "Yes Solas. We...we must be ready; time is running out, already the other armies advance to the wall and we will soon have to join them."

Solas nodded. "Yes, I saw them myself...Well, it is certainly time...I would accompany you."

"You are sure?"

"Yes." Solas replied. "If at all possible, we could end it here and if that is indeed the case...I must be there, to ensure it. I will not believe it over until I witness it with my own eyes."

Eddard nodded; so it was agreed; the time would soon come for them to advance to the Wall, and Solas would be with them.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
