Robb Stark had been engaged to marry one of Walter Frey's daughters after winning the War of the Five Kings. In love with Talisa, he was not able to keep her word and married for love in the middle of a war, in the middle of a battlefield. For love and war, he lost everything and everyone. The mother, the wife, the son who would never open his eyes in that world. Now, he was back in this world and someone was forcing him to open his eyes once more.
_ I know you're back, man. I won't force you to confront the world, but my mission is not to let you go to the next one. Not yet.
_ There is no other... - he struggles both to turn his body and to get the words out.
_ What did you say? - The healer looks at him confused.
_ There is nothing after.
For a second, the woman takes a deep look at the patient in front of her and knows she wouldn't need the Lasso of Truth to be sure he was speaking frankly. Somehow, the Stark's recovery of consciousness reached the princess's ears in the early hours of the next day. Diana didn't even bother to inform her that she would be missing her aunt's training.
So he was there. Extremely downcast and without spirit, but still reacting. She limited herself to watching him until she was noticed by the newcomer. Speaking still required an effort, but the northerner thought it was worth the sacrifice in front of the person who saved him.
_ I remember you from the beach... - Robb stated in an effort to be heard.
_ Diana.
_ Princess Diana? She confirms with a nod.
_ King Robb? - Hippolyta's daughter tries to return the kindness, but he frowns.
_ No more.
The first attempts to converse with the King in the North were frustrated and highly painful. He didn't want to be alive and he seemed almost angry with Diana for saving him from whatever or wherever.
But the queen of the Amazons would wait no longer to find out if her precious island was at risk from a new war between the tribes of men. When Diana was about to make another charge, she was surprised by her mother.
_ You don't need to sneak out of the house this time. You can keep me company, after all, I'm going to have a definitive conversation with that man.
The queen, some warriors and her daughter appeared in front of Robb when he was still trying to open his eyes in the new day. There was no violence or demand, but he understood that he should make himself available to that queen, whether as her guest or her prisoner.
_ I'm here to finish our conversation, Robb Stark. And I intend to use the Lasso of Truth one more time...' He extends his arm and thus the rope is placed around him and not necessarily tied around him. Due to his readiness, he remains free and thanks mentally for the queen's 'kindness' – You said you were at war.
_ Yes, the War of the Five Kings. Thousands of dead, burned villages, starving children and broken families.
_ You say that, but he was one of the kings who fought - asks General Antiope.
_ Yes, but, I wasn't fighting for power or for the Iron Throne. I didn't want to be King of Westeros. All I wanted was to rescue my father alive, save my sisters, free my people and return to the North to see my son born in my home. - Diana realizes that the Lasso of Truth does not change. He was speaking the truth, so – After all, we have our own problems in the North.
_ And what are the problems of the North? - the queen takes the floor again.
_ I am a Stark and winter is coming, the strongest winter of the last thousand years. And I think the cold won't come alone this time.
_ Are you talking about what is beyond the wall? - Robb and Diana notice the change in the queen's face. A mixture of worry and fear.
_ Those who slept under the ice for thousands of years woke up. Because winter will bring the Long Night this time. – he notices the nervousness of the queen and the other warriors. Diana is also surprised by the reaction.
_ This is impossible! We defeated the Night King thousands of years ago! – Hippolyta loses control and stares at Antiope visibly altered.
_ Mother?! Was that your Great War? The last war on the side of the tribes of men? – Diana's doubt is ignored and the queen looks back at Robb, waiting for new details about her revelation.
_ I saw a Night's Watch deserter swear he saw White Walkers beyond the Wall until he lost his mind. I captured a wildling in my lands running from these things that should be sleeping under the ice. The Lord Commander of the Night's Watch himself tried to warn everyone of this danger in the North...
_ And, still, men prefer to ignore the signs and fight, kill and betray each other in endless wars? asks one of Themyscira's senators.
_ Yes, most men do not believe or fear what can exist beyond the Wall anymore. We only care about the Free Folk... If the Lord Commander is right, I think the world could end... - Lasso of Truth remains unchanged. The man was telling the truth, at least he strongly believed it.
_ I pity the lot of your people, Robb Stark, if these signs are true.
_ Mother, the Amazons... This is our sacred duty! – Diana is elated at her mother's passivity, but is scolded by Hippolyta.
_ We already fulfilled our duty for thousands of years and we received what we received from the Tribes of Men. The Amazons belong in Themyscira, and it is here that they will remain.
The queen roared and took her leave. Promptly, the northerner understood the direct message: he did not belong and would not remain in that place. Whatever he was going to do, he would have to do it far away.
_ Should we let him go? - asks one of the Amazons the queen.
_ And risk bringing more men to our land? - Hippolyta disapproves of the suggestion.
_ We can't keep him trapped here forever. – Antiope recalls the situation.
_ Mom, I'm sorry... But, after everything he told, he can only be talking about the War of Wars.
_ What are you talking about?
_ Forgive me senator, but the man spoke of an endless war. Millions of people have already died. Something never seen by him. And the Night King could do even worse... The end of the world. We can't just let him go. We have to go with him! Diana insists on accompanying the newcomer.
_ I will not leave Themyscira without our army for their war. - Hippolyta tries to discourage her own daughter in vain.
_ The war is not theirs. The gods created man to be just and wise, strong and passionate...
_ That was a story, Diana! There's a lot you don't understand. It's easy to corrupt men, you heard everything he said... - Aunt Antiope also collaborated with the mission to contain her niece's momentum.
_ It may be, but stopping the King of the Night is also our predestination. As Amazons, this is our duty! – Diana is revolted by the lack of reaction from the other Amazons and tries one last argument to change her mother's opinion.
_ But you are not an Amazon like the rest of us. Then you won't do anything. As your queen, I forbid!
The discussion is temporarily ended without Robb Stark's fate having been decided, but making it clear that the queen was not willing to risk the life of any Amazon to help men solve the problems that once were hers as well.
