Jon
Jon smiled lightly as he looked around. He could still hardly believe the battle was over, that they had won. The last of the wounded were being treated, some of them given enough treatment to get home where their wounds could be seen to properly, such as Robb.
"It's a shame you all have to leave so quickly." Jon said as he stood by Robb. "Just when I was getting used to having you all around again."
Robb laughed. "Maybe something can be arranged, allow us both to visit each other...I know Arya would like that."
Jon nodded. "Arya left rather quickly?"
"Something big has come up. We've defeated the armies, but this isn't finished yet...Arya is going with Solas and Gendry to finish it." Robb explained.
"I see...I hope they manage." Jon said quietly.
Robb nodded. "We all do. If we're quick, we'll be able to catch up with them, but, we'll see."
Jon nodded and said farewell to Robb and the others, watching as the armies began to leave, it was hard to determine what to do now. The Wall was destroyed, Castle Black and all the other Night's Watch castles were in rubble and shambles now.
Yet still, the overwhelming sense of accomplishment, of victory, still filled them.
Joining the rest of the Night's Watch and the Free Folk, he listened in as they talked, cheering and urging celebrations.
"I...don't mean to bring us down." He announced. "But celebrations may be premature...Corypheus still lives. But...We have earned our victory, so...so long as you keep that matter in mind, we can celebrate."
There were more cheers at that. But Jon didn't pay attention to them. His gaze locked first with Mance Rayder, then with Carver and Stroud, who both nodded to him. It was time.
Looking around at the gathered crowd again; he spoke once more. "There is another announcement I must make!"
They fell quiet, their eyes upon him, all of them clearly confused.
"This battle and the events leading up to it, as well as the things we've experienced throughout these past couple of years!" He addressed the crowd. "It proves what the Grey Wardens have been saying to us right. We are dying a slow death, the Night's Watch has faded...because of the very precepts we were taught to obey. Look at the Grey Warden's are they restricted from love, marriage, to focus them on their duty. No."
Whispers began, but Jon knew he had to continue, to make his intentions clear.
"We must address these issues...and I think a lot of rebuilding is in order, so we have somewhere, to base ourselves, as we keep watch, and ensure we never face this kind of terror again." He paused and then announced. "In the meantime, we must take that first step towards change, to see things...differently; if the Grey Wardens can do so successfully, why not us?"
To his surprise, that drew a large number of cheers from his Night's Watch brothers; those that did not cheer merely nodded their heads. Still he smiled, it was a start.
Back in what was left of his chambers, Jon sighed as he looked around, seeing if there was anything he could salvage. It was then he heard the door opening and turned quickly.
"Very impressive, Jon Snow." Ygritte remarked with a grin as she stepped inside. "I was there, saw the whole thing...You do realize, in one speech, you've pretty much shook the entire foundation of the Night's Watch."
Jon nodded. "I certainly hope so; change here will be...dramatic, many might not be able to keep up...Better to get them started already I guess."
Ygritte stepped up closer to him and grinned. "Oh there are going to be changes...You've already taken that first one."
"What?"
Laughing she showed him what she meant, by taking his hand placing it on her belly, his eyes widened as he realized the truth and grinned. They were going to have a child.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
Well, that's the end of Jon's storyline for the whole series.
