The map brought by the last Amazon to explore the world of men was essential in helping Robb find his bearings from the first rays of sunlight the next day. He was once again surprised by how much his traveling companion understood about maritime navigation and how skilled she was at solving small day-to-day problems on the high seas.

After all, the crossing from Themyscira to some familiar point in the North was not so simple and required more time than expected. Thus, the intimacy between the two grew gradually until the elaboration of a basic plan for the arrival in a totally unknown North. The former king's idea was to disembark at a point far from Porto Branco so as not to compromise his identity and probable news of his death.

He was determined to fulfill the promise he made to the princess of the Amazons, only he would not return to claim his place as King in the North. His reign was a series of mistakes, wrong decisions and betrayals. Therefore, the only concern was to find out the situation of his brothers and his house, Winterfell. Thus, Robb Stark still had no intention of taking advantage of his second chance among the living.

_ Diana, I want to introduce you to the Great Wall of Ice built by Brandon, the Builder. What do you think? – the Amazon gets lost admiring the gigantic wall of ice and stares back at you.

_ It's magic! – She exclaims in fascination.

_ And it's not? I believe it has some kind of magic behind it. But, it is something really impressive even more so at first glance.

_ Yes, the magic of the Children of the Forest with the help of the legendary giants so that the threat of the Long Night would never return to the world of men. Brandon the Builder... He's one of his ancestors, isn't he?

_ Yes. In fact, he was the founder of House Stark and the King in the North who started the construction of Winterfell, my home. Sometimes you seem to know more about the history of my land than I do. – the northerner allows himself to smile when he remembers his own family.

_ The duty of the Amazons is to protect humanity. Therefore, we should know about all peoples... But, the history of the Northern Kingdom has always fascinated me the most. Also because it was one of the last places defended by the Amazons before the Gods created my true home, Themyscira.

_ And truth. Her mother said that she was in battle with the Night King. How is this possible? The Maesters say that the Age of Heroes occurred more than eight thousand years ago! - he questions.

_ Time acts differently on Themyscira, Robb Stark. – the northerner shrugs and takes a deep breath – Do you want to rest a bit? I can see that you're almost out of breath. – she observes correctly.

_ The cold. I think I became unaccustomed to the cold of the North after recovering on your Paradise Island. – Diana laughs at his insistence on referring to her house in such a flattering way, but he turns serious again – It's much stronger than I could remember.

_ Is it the influence of the King of the Night? – Robb just shrugs – Get some rest. The healer said you weren't fully recovered yet. But, don't worry... I just need you to take me to the war, I can act on my own from there. - she sits next to him.

_ In fact, the war against the King of the Night must be on the other side of the Wall. But, we have to go this way first. – he gestures with his hand and tries to guide the newcomer to the North.

_ And where are we going?

_ To Castle Black, of the Night's Watch.

_ Hey, no, no! - Diana gets up and pulls him easily by the waist, bringing the bodies too close. Robb is again impressed by the Amazon's impetus - Take me to the Night King, we have an agreement, Robb of Winterfell. And an agreement is a promise. And a promise cannot be broken.

_ If you let me go, I can explain to you, princess. – she agrees and walks away from him – Castle Black is where the Night's Watch is, which protects Westeros from threats beyond the Wall. They have the same mission as you: to fight the White Walkers.

_ So, the Night's Watch must know where the Night King's Army is? – the princess of the Amazons starts to like her partner's new plan.

_ Yes, I think they are the only ones who really care about the threat of the Night King. My brother Jon is part of the Watch and I'm sure he'll help us with whatever we need. Lord Commander Mormont sent ravens across Westeros when I was still fighting and I barely heeded his words.

_ We can change that now. Is this castle very far away?

_ A little. We'll have to take a more discreet route because I have no idea how things have been around here since my... Departure. I'm sorry, I should have told you everything I imagine we'll need to do once we get here. – he faces his traveling companion and tries to truly apologize. And the Amazon understands that she won't always need the lasso to discern when people are being sincere.

_ I understand, it must be difficult for you after everything that happened...

_ Yes, only this is not just about me anymore. It must be difficult for you too, who gave up the security of your home for the first time to help in a war that is not yours, in my house. I can only try to do whatever I can to help the same way you and your people did for me while I was in your house. I made a promise, didn't I?

The Amazon manages to capture the regret on the face of the one who used to reign over the entire North and now she is not even aware of the whereabouts of her loved ones. Therefore, she chooses to respond with a simple smile, extending her hand to help him up so that he can continue walking in silence.

Robb watched the camp from a distance and did not understand what wildlings were doing so close to Castle Black. It didn't seem to be preparing for an invasion. There were women, children and old people around. But what caught the attention was the presence of a giant. He and Diana could try to go around and take another day to the Night's Watch castle, they could... But, the planning was suspended when several swords appeared in front of him and a bearded redhead shouted some words at him.

_ Are you lost, boy? What does a southerner do so North of the Wall and in such good company?

_ I am not lost and neither am I a southerner. I was born and raised in the North. Its people who seem to be far from home. Robb roared, completely surrounded.

_ You do not know the true North, boy. And this is our new home! The Lord Commander of the Night's Watch has gifted us these lands! - shouts another member of the Free People.

_ The commander? Mormont would never do such a thing! – answers the displeased northerner, while Diana just observes the people around her.

_ Mormont? The new King of Ravens is Jon Snow, boy! – the redhead, who seems to be the leader, takes the floor again and laughs at the duo's lack of knowledge.

_ Jon is the new commander of the Patrol? He managed! - Robb rejoices at the news and causes bewilderment to his potential enemies.

_ How do you know the King of Crows? – asks one of the savages.

_ Jon Snow is my brother. I'm trying to get to Castle Black to talk to him!

_ Is your brother the new leader? So he can certainly help get to the Night King! – celebrates Diana, practically ignoring the nearby threat.

_ You southerners are either funny or very stupid. Why would anyone want to get close to the Night King or his White Walker army?

_ Because that is the sacred duty of the Amazons. I left Themyscira to prevent the Long Night from falling on the world.

Immediately, the weapons are put away and the features go from disdain for the two young "southerns" to instant admiration for the beautiful and impressive woman. The bearded redhead takes the lead of the group and approaches the Amazon:

_ Are you really an Amazon? None have been seen for thousands of years. But, it's good to know that the legends were right. Are you the last of your people?

_ No, there are other warriors. But, the gods placed the Amazons on Themyscira thousands of years ago and most no longer want to be involved in the wars of men.

_ It is a shame. The old ones say that we only managed to survive the first coming of the Night King because of the help of the Amazons. Now they are far away and the children of the Forest are no more. I don't know if we will be enough. – the red-haired stranger abandons the intimidating countenance and transmits genuine fear for the first time.

_ What do you know about the Night King? – Diana is interested in the Free Folk's knowledge of their common enemy, while Robb is suspicious of those who have always posed a danger to the North.

_ Is there more than legends in what you know about the King of the Night, wildling? - Robb reinforces the question with a tone of contempt in his voice.

_ I didn't listen to legends, I saw the King of Others, boy. We were slaughtered in Hardhome and the Free Folk could have been wiped out if not for your brother. Snow made a deal with us and offered land and the protection of the Wall in exchange for help in the Great War.

_ So, have you already faced the King of the Night? AS? - Diana is surprised to find someone who has fought and survived the threat of the Night King himself.

_ I wouldn't be alive if I had, amazon. But everyone here saw the power of the White Walkers and we only managed to survive because we ran away. The Night King already has thousands at his command. But if you want to get to Jon Snow, come.

Tormund, Giantsbane, officially introduces himself and leads the quick trek to the village that housed the remnants of the Free Folk. The term was quickly assimilated by Diana, but it was strange to Robb. The "wildlings" have always been a threat to the northmen and have caused countless problems over the years, including his father as Warden of the North.

But he wasn't in a position to do anything at all, and he still needed to understand how Jon had risen so quickly to the post of Lord Commander of the Watch and what motivated him to make such an agreement. Still, he was under a roof and eating a real meal after countless days. And the Young Wolf noticed how being among so many people was exciting Diana, who had all the attention since they stepped in the village. Somehow those savages understood her origin far better than he did.

_ Is it a baby? Is she holding a baby? – Diana leaves the plate with the meal aside and practically runs to the place occupied by a family.

_ Diana, calm... Diana, this baby is not made of clay, remember? - Robb tries to remind the Amazon of her own strength, but the woman says she is honored in front of Diana.

_ She is my girl, she was born shortly after we arrived here. Do you want to hold it? – Diana gets emotional when receiving the little child in her arms and automatically puts a wide smile on Robb Stark's face – I just hope I live long enough to tell her that she had the honor of being cherished by a legendary Amazon warrior.

It was all still highly curious to him. Robb remembered the "Old Nanny" stories of a tribe of warrior women, the favorites of his younger sister Arya. But the boy never suspected that these legends were real and passed from generation to generation among the peoples beyond the Wall. He had a million questions to ask, but he still felt like he was dealing with an old enemy.

_ Listen, boy... A family ceded that cabin so that the amazon could spend that night. I don't know what they are to each other, so... If she allows it, you can also rest there because we leave early for Castle Black. – Tormund approaches the visitors and addresses the young northerner.

_ And why didn't we go today? I appreciate your help this far, but I have an urgent need to get Diana to...

_ Do not open your mouth to release false words, southerner. You don't mean it and I'm not doing anything for you either. Me and everyone here are just helping the Amazon warrior. – Tormund frowns and approaches the northman threateningly - You are not and don't represent anything to me, boy, but I'm alive thanks to your brother... So, I tell you: it's not good to be out there when the shadows fall over the world. Besides, you were so weak when we found you that you could barely take another ten steps forward.

_ I understand... I can understand why Jon did what he did... And I understand what his people are doing for Diana. But, you and your people don't know everything... She's not just an Amazon warrior, she's the daughter of Queen Hippolyta...

_ Is Diana the princess of the Amazons? Daughter of Hippolyta herself? How is this possible? How did you find her anyway? - Tormund is surprised by the revelation about the connection between Diana and the warrior who significantly helped to defeat the White Walkers in the first invasion.

_ Somehow, I got to Themyscira and was saved by Diana. But, she wanted to come to Westeros to help fight the Night King, she says this is her sacred duty.

_ Have you been to Ilha das Amazonas?

_ Yes, I don't understand how and neither do I know the exact location. But I believe the island is beyond the lands of Always Winter.

_ A paradise island hidden beyond the home of the White Walkers. It seems the Gods don't think the dead are the Amazons' main enemies.

_ If not them, who would it be? Robb asks.

_ You southerners really don't know anything. Tormund shakes his head and walks away from the boy.

Robb tried to shrug off Tormund's final taunt and turned his attention fully to Diana, who was surrounded by small children. The Amazon was enchanted and responded to all the requests of the little ones for hugs, games and demonstrations of combat with the powerful sword nicknamed "Killer of Gods". The northerner almost forgot where he was and the inquisitive looks on him as he approached and ended up involved in the games of the "wild" boys and girls. He lost track of time there in tasks as simple as dedicating some of his time to children, but he had to end the fun when he felt shortness of breath followed by a strong feeling of tiredness.

_ I think we exaggerated a bit today, didn't we? You're still getting your strength back and we've had an exhausting journey the last few days in the snow. Diana recalls.

_ No problem, I just need... Just to make an effort a little more to breathe... And to rest! Tormund says the Free Folk have set aside a hut for you to sleep in for the night... And I will...

_ And where are you going? We're not going to have that conversation again, are we? - She takes her hands to her waist and amuses the boy by her angry expression.

_ No, we are not going back to that conversation... But, as I told you... Outside of marriage, it is not correct to assume that I can before having your authorization, you understand? But, I can always settle somewhere else too...

_ You can, you must have a lot of space like on the boat. – Robb nods in agreement and they walk side by side towards the hut to rest before heading to Castle Black. Diana interrupts the journey when she observes a middle-aged couple with two children, who wave to the Amazon – Why are they holding hands?

_ Probably because they are together – explains Robb, feeling his hand being clasped by the princess – We are not together like that, Diana. They must be a couple, as I told you. Do you remember?

_ A couple who present themselves to a septon to marry and swear to love each other until death? – she quotes the explanation in full.

_ I don't know if this is the custom among the Free People, but I think they love to hold hands, have children and keep taking care of each other even in such difficult times.

_ This is very beautiful, isn't it? So, doesn't love always have to be linked to marriage for it to happen?

_ No... Unfortunately, many marriages are made without love around here, Diana. They are alliances for power, armies, politics, money, kingdoms...

_ And you? Was your marriage for love? – the Amazon stops walking and firmly looks at her traveling companion.

_ Yes, I loved Talisa. And I was betrayed by it.

Diana remembered her mother's warning when she said goodbye: "Be careful in the world of men. They don't deserve you." And she wondered how such innocent children could grow into beings capable of committing betrayal and murder, especially in such a sacred moment as a wedding. With no answers, the Amazon ended up falling asleep with the northerner meters away.
