@vaderari asked // for the butcher beyond the wall, finding himself in this position was not one he had ever envisioned; caring for another, a mortal, no less, with such a blazing fire in her heart. he had known another with embers for a soul... her long distant memory becoming entangled with the new ones he was making now. memory, however, was not what was plaguing him as he paced the grounds beneath the red keep; it was the king in the north. the one who had put his faith behind him to persuade the living that there was at least one dead that would fight for their cause. yet now, as vader pored over where they had found themselves now, snow's intentions had become murky at best. whether it be base intuition or otherwise --- it couldn't be feelings, no, no... --- darne's heavy armour chimed as he ascended the stone steps to where he knew she would be, hoping the churning sense of fear ---- no... not fear. caution --- would soon be calmed.
she would follow her friends anywhere: it was to be her downfall. once daenerys trusted someone she held that bond in the highest of esteem, for trusting others did not come easy to someone in her position. yet it seemed that betrayal lurked around every shadowy corner. the pain of being lured into the throne room in what should have been a celebratory manner: by a person she considered an equal, a good friend, only for them to brandish a knife in her face and whisper teary-eyed that it was for her own good. no, not just her own good: for the good of the realm. perhaps her growing bond with vader posed a threat to him, to others who may have whispered in his ear, but dany can’t help the frightened gasp that leaves her lips. she takes a step back from jon, trying to steel herself. you are a dragon, a khaleesi. do not be afraid. she lifts her head with newfound composure, tears trailing down pale cheeks as she tries to reason with him, not understanding how such a close confidante could attempt to take her life. everything’s happening so fast, she doesn’t notice vader’s presence until his resounding steps ring in the air with a brute force she almost believes it’s all in her head. when her gaze snaps to vader she finds herself running towards him, hands lifting the bottom of her dress to keep up with her frantic sprint. “ stop him, please --- get him away from me. ” it’s more of a cry than anything else, dany’s footsteps growing louder as she finds herself standing behind the undead king, lilac hues alive with terror. she turns to find a furious drogon, making her way towards him and holding his front to her own, clinging to her child with fervor.
