Chapter 182 - Chapter 182: Atop the Wall, the Maester

[3rd POV]

"Wow...the view up here truly is amazing!" Alice said in awe, as the trio stood on top of the wall, close to the edge, but not close enough to be in any danger. The sight upon the wall was incredible. With them being able to see literal miles off into the distance, seeing the seemingly endless expanse of snow and ice.

Well that and rocky surfaces and the miles/kilometers of forest.

The forest that Lucifer remembered would get burnt down in the future, done after Mance Rayder had had enough, and decided to finally get their people across the wall, even if they had to literally burn down an entire forest to accomplish it.

They hadn't really accomplished it, as it ended with the deaths of a lot of their warriors, and didn't really do much in the end. It was...well, pretty much entire useless in the end. Pointless, and useless.

Lucifer would have to look into fixing up that issue in the future when Daenerys eventually comes back - assuming that she comes with them at least - and she believed that just killing the Great Other would do the trick. Absorbing the entity would be effortless and she'd get a decent bit of power out of it.

"Do you like the view, hon?" Lucifer asked as she glanced down at Daenerys who was gazing off into the distance silently. Jeor stood behind them, watching to make sure they did not do anything stupid.

That and he was curious about the trio, especially the woman that seemed so threatening with a simple glare from her making all of his recruits fall in line. Like they were bugs beneath her boot.

Something about her...was strange to him. Like he was gazing at someone special, someone he didn't have the right to stand in the presence of. It was...really weird, but frankly, he was more focused on unloading the supplies that had already gotten to the castle, with there being more than he had expected.

A lot more.

There was enough food to last many moons, and all the new swords, axes, clothes, and other equipment would last them for years. Not only that, but it would make it so that they can work for longer, and without having the same troubles that they had been dealing with for years upon years at this point.

They had asked the Starks for some aid, but it was slow coming. As the Starks themselves weren't that wealthy, and could not just hand over the materials and weapons that Lucifer had.

Which made him even more interested in who the mysterious woman was. He was pretty certain that she did not belong to a House in Westeros at this point, and if she did, it would have to be one down in Dorne with the color of her skin.

If not, she was almost certainly from Essos.

"It's beautiful" Daenerys muttered as she held their hands, not cold at all for some reason. She wondered if it was more magic from Lucifer, or if the clothes she had been given were just that warm.

Either way, she had to admit that she liked this. The clothes that she had been given is easily the most comfortable she had ever worn, and the first proper outfit she had worn since...well, ever.

For most of her years up until this point, she had worn old scraps and clothes that fit a beggar, uncomfortable, dirty, and falling apart. Making it dangerously easy for anyone that wanted to take her to do so with ease.

Not anymore though.

Lucifer and Alice had saved her from that fate. And if that was not going to be her fate, the fate that she would have to possess would end up being potentially worse at the hands of Viserys, considering he had talked about marrying her off for most of her life.

"No matter how many times I have come up here, the view never gets old" Jeor added, a small smile of his own forming as he saw the awe on the child's face.

"Is it always this cold up here, Lord Commander?" Daenerys asked, looking interested as the man chuckled.

"This is nothing, little Lady. When it is time for winter to come, this place is so cold that men have frozen to death. It is colder up here than on the grounds, and thanks to that, we can't truly come up here during Winter. Not without extensive preparation and a lot of clothing. Well, that and praying to the Gods" Jeor said with a smile on his face, her childish innocence was rather amusing to him.

"Sounds...terrible" Daenerys responded bluntly as the mans laugh deepened. While Lucifer snorted and Alice shook her head in amusement.

The more the little girl was with them, they more they were certain that they were going to do their best to adopt her.

After staying on top of the wall for another 20 minutes or so, learning about the history of the place, and hearing some interesting stories from the aged man that had been through so much, the group had returned back to the ground. As it was finally time to meet Aemon Targaryen, and for Daenerys to meet one of the last members of her family.

One of the four remaining Targaryens (Aemon, Daenerys, Viserys, and Daemon/Jon).

Walking with the man, they had soon been led to the library of Castle Black, an ancient place that held books inside that you could not find anywhere else. With many of them being older than the very unification of the Seven Kingdoms, and many more of them being one of one.

They were truly that rare.

Stepping into the ancient library, the blind man perked up slightly when he heard the door open.

"Ah, Lord Commander, are these the ones that you told me about? The ones that wished to speak with me?" Aemon spoke, glancing towards the direction in which they entered from, he was blind so he couldn't really see them, but he could "Feel" them.

Well that and he could hear them without difficulty.

"Aye, this is Lady Lucifer, Alice, and Dany" Jeor spoke, as the three of them walked forwards.

"I'll leave you four alone, as they wish to speak with you privately" Jeor said, as he soon left the room, while Daenerys stared at the man silently. Something about him felt so...familiar.

"It's nice to formally meet you, Aemon" Lucifer softly said with a warm smile on her face, as she walked towards the man and crouched towards him as he sat upon the chair.

The man's face warped into slight surprise, before he let out a soft gasp as a warmth traveled through him, as Lucifer imbued her power into the man, beginning to rapidly heal him of his injuries and old age.

"A-Aemon?" Daenerys whispered, wide eyed as the man began to visibly de age back to a Middle Aged man, his eyes wide in shock as he looked himself over, and then at Lucifer.

"Wh-What are you? A-Are you a God?" Aemon asked, struggling to form a sentence as he was just casually healed without a single word, just doing it for a reason he did not understand.

"You could say that, yes" Lucifer responded with a small smile, as she glanced over to Daenerys, as Aemon followed her gaze, only to stop.

"You see, I helped you not just because I think you are a good man, Aemon. But also because I believe it is only right to help out one of the last remaining relatives of Daenerys here" Lucifer added, as the man looked at her, seeing her powerful violet eyes and the hair that so many Targaryens have held in the past.

"Wh-we're related?" Daenerys asked, staring at the man who had tears beginning to form in his eyes.

Hearing the question, Lucifer just smiled softly, as she watched the man crouch down and hug the child, as she spoke out loud.

"Daenerys...meet your great uncle...Aemon Targaryen"

"Brother of King Aegon the Fifth"
