Game of Thrones: The Dragonborn.

Chapter 38: Chapter 38 - Leaving the Camp and Heading South!



[Chapter Size: 1900 Words.]

Third Person POV.

Somewhere on North.

...

...

The people had already gotten used to the dragon taking that hill in the camp as its own "nest." Although when they first saw its icy breath, creating a bed of crystal shards around it before lying down, they couldn't help but be stunned to realize there was a creature that could breathe ice.

Even Jon, who had already killed ice dragons, couldn't help but be surprised by this one. After all, the dragons of Westeros or Valyria were all of fire, but this one was the opposite—a kind never recorded in the history books of this world.

The ice dragon, besides being deadly, able to freeze anything that came into contact with its ice, could also create ice shapes, like the small nest Jon was approaching at that moment.

There was a side full of carcasses of meat, with only bones and blood scattered nearby, while the dragon made a point of bringing its prey there to eat. The Free Folk had to get used to it after watching him every day since he settled there, while Jon also remained around.

Whenever Jon left, the dragon followed him, just like yesterday when Jon left with Val. Its crimson eyes watched Jon at this moment as he approached but did nothing other than watch him for a moment and then placed its head back on the ice as if it wanted to sleep.

Jon sighed and walked closer, not bothered by the cold of the nest he was entering, stopping in front of the dragon. The dragon still kept its head down, but with one eye open, analyzing him. It was a strange relationship between them, but there was a connection, that was certain.

That morning, while he slept a little later, Jon began to have glimpses of flying in the sky, while a huge shadow appeared below with the morning sun, indicating that he was beginning to enter the dragon's mind as it made its first meal of the day.

"Well, girl, I came to let you know I'm heading south. The question is: will you come with me?" Jon spoke in the Old Tongue, analyzing the dragon's reaction, as it only kept its gaze fixed on Jon.

"I believe you will. It would even be good to have your help, but I don't want you to be seen by anyone there. I want you to avoid following me wherever I go, especially in the cities and castles I would approach, staying at a safe, hidden distance, out of sight. That would certainly cause chaos if you were seen..." Jon spoke calmly, while the dragon maintained its usual reaction.

The only thing the dragon did was blow a gust of freezing mist in front of it. "I guess I'll take that as a yes..." Jon murmured, looking at the dragon curiously.

Jon stepped back with a smile, as he saw Val approaching them at that moment, but she still kept a certain distance. The dragon lifted its head toward her with an unpleasant look, clearly not liking her presence.

The dragon didn't like anyone in the camp, only allowing Jon to get close. Some clearly expressed their discontent at having such a creature so close to the camp, sometimes even making a mess by bringing prey and leaving a trail of blood across them. But this was a minority.

The dragon had never attacked anyone there, only hunting for food in the sea or the forest. Jon also made sure no one attacked it, especially since he had the support of half the leaders. The other half, though they didn't look favorably at the creature and him, feared them.

"Val... calm down, girl." Jon said at last to the dragon, while giving a few light pats on its neck before starting to walk away, knowing that today he would leave the camp and begin his journey to Winterfell.

Jon walked toward Val, who was staring at him. They had already met earlier today when Jon went to her tent to consummate with his new spear wife.

"Jon, my sister wants to talk to you..." She asked, and Jon nodded, leaving the dragon that still kept its eyes on Val, warning her not to get too close.

"Is he jealous?" she asked, a little lost, noticing the dragon apparently didn't like her.

"It's a she. This dragon is female," Jon corrected her. "And I think she doesn't like anyone... even with me, she had some reservations." Jon added.

Val simply nodded as they made their way back to the camp, entering Della's tent, the main one.

Jon followed Val inside, where Della was sitting by the fire, eating a hot stew, probably from the meat they had hunted yesterday—or rather, that Jon's dragon had caught and given to him.

She looked at them with calm eyes. "I heard Val took you hunting. But she mentioned that your dragon did that for you both." Della began.

"You could say that. After all, your sister isn't very good with a bow and arrow," Jon said, smiling, while Val shot him a displeased look.

"I imagine so. Val is more of a warrior than a hunter..." Della commented before standing up, her belly growing more swollen by the day. "Tell me, I called you here for a serious conversation... after all, I don't want my child to grow up without a father... Jon Snow, can you guarantee that if you go south, the father of my child will be safe?" she asked, looking at him more intensely than usual, perhaps afraid Jon might somehow get Mance captured or something, even though Jon didn't know Mance yet.

Della was worried Jon might cause some harm to her husband, despite Val firmly stating that he wouldn't, and even though Della herself favored Jon among the leaders who didn't like him much, she couldn't help but have this doubt.

"There's no reason for that. I've already said I'll be back before you even notice I'm gone..." Jon responded, as Della nodded.

"Alright, then I'll trust your words, Jon Snow," she murmured in the end, only wanting to hear it from his own mouth.

"Well, I'll be off now," Jon said, as Val nodded and looked at her sister.

"I'll accompany him," Val said, while Della just shook her head, and then Jon and Val left the tent, now heading toward Karsi's camp.

The first thing Jon did was go to the leader's tent. She welcomed him as soon as she heard he was there.

"So, you're heading south. Well, I can't say I'm happy about it, but no one here can stop you..." Karsi said. After all, Jon's presence had been favorable for her and her tribe, and he kept the camp from becoming too dull, since strange things always seemed to happen with him around.

"Yes, but before you know it, I'll be back. So don't worry about it," Jon said confidently, and she nodded.

Leaving her tent, he headed to Lucis' tent. She met him at the entrance.

"I've prepared some things for you..." she said, looking at him carefully.

"You know I don't need much, but if you've prepared something, I'll gladly accept it," Jon said as he entered. He found a leather backpack filled with dried meat, fruits, and clothes for him, which he picked up and placed in his dimensional space. After all, he didn't need to carry bags or anything like that, having many things already stored.

"Everything's ready." Jon returned outside with the two women and said, as they made their way to another meeting point Jon wanted to visit, where there was a sacred tree and some acquaintances.

"You're leaving?" Lafy murmured, blocking Jon's path as he passed through the tribe.

"Yes, for now." Jon smiled at the boy. "But that doesn't mean you should stop training and practicing everything I've taught you." Jon said with a stern look, while the boy, though dissatisfied, nodded. After all, he admired Jon more than anything now, and at that moment, his greatest desire was to be like the Dragonborn.

Continuing down the path, Jon went to the sacred area occupied by Ilyana, the forest witch, who had helped him and was sheltering the children of the forest. He entered, having a brief conversation about the things he would do and his eventual return.

"Well, it seems you're going to fetch your animal. Good luck, man who can control that giant creature... I foresee that the gods will soon grant me a vision of you subduing the crows of the Wall and bringing us salvation, riding that dragon." Ilyana spoke with a tone of respect for Jon, as he nodded.

It wasn't as if he didn't receive some advice from her regarding her Warg powers while spending his last days at the camp, training with Lafy and spending time with his lovers. In the end, Jon said his goodbyes, leaving the place and finding Tormund and some members of his tribe.

"So you're going beyond the Wall? Are you sure you don't want me to come with you? We can show those southerners what a man of the North is made of!" Tormund said, approaching to give Jon a hug, while the Dragonborn accepted the embrace but shook his head.

"Tormund, I like you and consider you a friend, but you're too loud. Winterfell would know we're coming the moment we got close to the Wall..." Jon teased, while the man began to laugh.

"That's exactly how I am! They need to know I'm coming, so they tremble at my presence!!" Tormund replied, while Jon just shook his head, leaving his friend behind. Further ahead, he spotted the red-haired girl waiting for him.

"Come back soon. I'll be waiting for you, Jon Snow." She said with an intense and stubborn look, not wanting Jon to leave.

"You'd better not follow me this time, this is something I need to do alone." Jon said, while she only scoffed at his comment.

"Don't worry. Soon enough, we'll be in another cave enjoying a nice hot bath... or maybe even a castle, who knows... I'm sure you're missing something like that?" Jon said, smiling at the girl, speaking in a more private tone.

"You know nothing, Jon Snow." She murmured, while he smiled before turning to everyone.

"Well, I'm off now. Just try to stay alive until I get back." He said, giving a friendly smile to everyone there and heading out of the camp, while the people watched him leave, disappearing into the forest heading south.

The dragon, upon seeing this, quickly began to rise, flapping its wings and advancing toward where Jon was headed, leaving behind the Free Folk's camp.
