CHAPTER 11
280 ac
Since I learned about the Godswood I wanted to go there and it is at the other side of the castle. Winterfell is wall to wall I think is around 10 hectares of land. It is a giant castle and from the books and people I learned there are bigger castle in the continent. I have found the wood without a problem and it is inside the castle walls. The castle has a small forest inside of it. It has its own walls too. When I entered the woods, I could feel the magic inside of it. It was really weak but it was there.
If I train here I thing I would have a better yield then in my room. So whenever I have time I would come back to the woods and I would sit somewhere close the weirwood tree and start manipulating the elements but not intensely, I would only train the wind and earth element here and I would try to manipulating from a distance so even if I get caught doing magic people would think it is the work of the old gods. I cant create a earth ball from this distance but I can cause tiny shake on the earth. Furthest I can use this is 10 meter. It is not a useful spell yet but earth ball had started from a pebble. Now I can make 10cm(4 inch) ball
When I m back on my room I would take Blue to my hand and try to make connections. I m feeling it, it is so close. I have 28 mana 1.2 speed and 1.1 strength right now. I have asked an ordinary servant to pull me with rope while I tried to not get pulled and he had 5 str, I tried this with 10 other man and it was around 4-6 , let's say 5 is the average str and I tried this with Rodrik, he pulled me so hard basically flied. He has 9 str. Of course none of them were trying to kill me so I don't think this were their best.
When I was in Godswood I got caught a few times by the smallfolk that came to pray and when they felt the strong wind and the moving earth they almost peed in their pants and run away. After getting caught today too I got up and decided to leave the woods for today. I was almost out of the woods but I saw a snake and two raven fighting to protect their nest but it looks like one of the poisonous snakes I have seen in the library's bestiaries. Snake was coiling around a branch right next to the nest and was waiting there without moving. The ravens were flapping their wings and trying to frighten the snake but it was not working. Bolt side was blooded but if it is a yellow tail. The raven are already dead they just don't know it yet. Maybe that is why it is waiting in a close distance. Just as I thought the ravens started to slow down and started to act sluggish. Poison must be starting to work. One of the raven started a despaired attack and the other one joined in right after it. But one of them got bitten by the snake again and this time it didn't let go fast and violently the snake started to coil around the raven because of the commotion the nest got knocked down from the tree. I run to it right away and caught it in the air before it dropped down to the ground and inside it there were 2 chicks they had a bit of feather on their torso and wings but it was gray not raven colored. When I looked up again the snake had killed one of the ravens but the other one gouged the eyes of the snake so both side going to die. I turned to the nest in my hand and started to walk.
"what am I going to do with you guys?"
"If I leave you here you will die from hunger or become food to something else. Both of your parents dead."
"I have no idea, how to take care of you, I never take care of birds. If I feed you worms or insects can you eat it. I have no idea. Hmm, right Maester Luwin he has ravens he might know if you can be saved. If he says you can live I will try to save you."
I have started to walk towards the maester's turret, when I was nearing it. Maester Luwin was coming out and he was going to the other way. I shouted so he would see me.
"Maester Luwin, could you please wait for me?" I have started tunning to him carefully
" Maester I found this raven chicks and their parents died can we same them?"
He looks at me and says "Why do you want to save them?"
"I pity them and if I have the power to save them I should do the right thing, should I ?"
"Before anything else, the one thing you should first know is that raven chicks need warmth, they have almost no feather and the few feather they have wouldn't protect them against the cold. You need to warm them with warm stones or things like that until they are fully feathered"
"As for food you cant give them hard food, they need soft and moistened food. Things like pasted worm and Caterpillars or eggs. You need to feed them when they are begging and it should be from sun rise to sun down every hour. While feeding be careful not to choke them. It would take 5 to 7 weeks for them to grow strong enough to fly and hunt for themselves and they become adults in 3 year"
"Do you have any other question?"
"No, I have none. Thank you for the knowledge Maester."
