he remembers only blood and cold. the ice cold waters, the pale face of his mother, the dead look in his wife’s eyes. And he remembers every slight. He remembers darkness. he tastes anger and he sees the face of everyone who’s ever gone against him or his family. the North remembers. he lets instinct take him, lets his steps guide him where his mind knows nothing of destination. he’s been traveling for sometime, the skies descending and then ascending with morning and night. Memories keeping him company and the ache of revenge urging him forward. He still feels the pierce of the sword through his chest when he closes his eyes - and that’s what startles him awake when he feels a presence near. He calls out, wants to know who’s around. Sometimes the wound catches his breath in his chest but right now he’s on full alert as he draws his sword. “ You had better come out slowly - I’ve a mind to run you through with my blade. “ because he must, after all, pass the sentence.
