The sounds of hammers from the blacksmiths blended with the sounds of the animals and people talking.

Silica struggled to keep up with Chett as he led her to where the Guild Masters were, Castle Black had changed since the Nights Watch Guild became a part of the kingdom.

It had become a lot quieter since the war with the ice monsters and their undead army.

Since the Night's Watch Guild is strictly male-only, most of the women who were either pregnant or had kids had already left and the ones left were either Players like herself or the wives of the workers who were helping repair the wall and the castle.

There were a lot of boys like Chett, but they were mostly orphans who arrived with the people from the south or children of the Free Folk who didn't have anywhere to go back to.

She felt the wind blow on her skin and struggled to keep herself from shivering, She had heard that when a person loses their eyesight they gain enhanced hearing and sense of smell.

Unfortunately for her, she gained something else, she gained an enhanced sense of feeling, meaning that she could now feel everything.

Each step she gave had enhanced her senses to such a point that she could almost see a blueprint of her surroundings.

The problem with this was that every time the temperature dropped, like right now when the cold wind touched her, she felt it was a lot more than what she normally would.

She knew this because she was still wearing the same clothes that she was wearing when she went to get the healer to help Maester Aemon regain the use of his eyes.

She felt Chett stop walking but she wasn't able to stop herself from running into him.

'Chett what's wrong?" she asks her assistant.

"Miss Silica we can't go any further." Chett answers her as a low but powerful grow comes from something in front of them.

She felt Pin leap from her shoulders before she began to hiss louder until Silica was certain that Pina had grown to half her original size.

"Chett tell me what's in front of us." she says to Chett who hesitates before he tells her that a giant dog is standing in front of the door.

'Pina move, Chett stop me before I get too close.' she orders her dragon and her assistant.

'I'm here to see Heathcliff." she says to the dog who lets out a powerful bark that sends a shockwave through her body that makes her unable to move for a brief moment.

Pina lets out a small roar and frees her from the dog's bark, Silica feels Chett fall and she is forced to pull him back to his feet, She knows that the creature in front of her is a Giant Carrier Dog and they don't obey anyone weaker than them.

"Chett in my pocket there's a pen and parchment write down that Asuna, Kirito, and their daughter haven't returned and that we are awaiting orders, then hand it to the dog." she orders her assistant who once again doesn't do what she says but this time he tells her why he doesn't do what she says.

'I don't know how to read and write." Chett says to her.

Silica didn't know what to say, she didn't expect Chett to say that and the old man always had him look for things that he needed or measure things for him, so how was it that he couldn't read and write?

"Are there any other players around us?" she asks him.

'Yes." Chett answers her.

"Tell them to write what I told you and then hand it to the dog, the animal will give it to its master," she said to her assistant.

Silica feels Chett let go of her hand before she hears him walk away and then begin to speak to someone that she couldn't see, It isn't long before Chett comes back and she hears the dog slowly walk towards her.

She hears the animal breathing before the sound of it walking away and forcing the door open reaches her, She listens to the door close and then hears it open again, but she only hears a soft grow.

"We are done here." she says to Chett who she imagines is either nodding or just looking at her.

"I don't understand." Chett says to her.

'The Guild leaders are busy, so they don't have time for us." she answers him, before pausing, she tightens her grip on Chett's hand and guides it towards her sword.

"Draw it." she orders him.

"What?" Chett asks her in disbelief.

'I said draw it, you are my eyes, and my eyes need to be able to protect me. Pina will help you train because I have work to do just like everyone else and I can't do it if I can't see.' she says to Chett who does as she says.

"Pina go easy on him." she orders her cute dragon who lets out a roar turns its back on Chett and lasely attacks him with its tail.

Had Silica been able to see she would have seen that everyone had stopped doing whatever they were doing and were now watching Chett as he tried not to get hit by Pina's tail.

From his room, Aemon watched as Chett tried to block the blue dragon's attack only to be thrown back before hitting the ground.

He watched as the dragon used its tail to force Chett back onto his feet before the boy picked up his sword again and the pair began to train again.

"Move aside boy." he heard someone say to Chett who once again had his but on the ground.

'Alright, I need to learn how to take one of you down." Aemon smirked when he heard the man say that.

It didn't take much for the man who was using a mallet to be sent flying and imitate Chett, by having his ass on the ground.
