The Stranger Cometh Not

(Castle Black)

The Battered, Bruised and Bloody remnants of the Wildling Army, alongsise Jaehaerys Band of Men were at Castle Black. The Wildlings Saw A Kneeler, Indeed A Kneeler King, fight for them. But the King was Dying. He had been Stabbed several Times, some of his Bones were Broken in Several places, and a Few Muscles were torn. He Laid on the Table, Shivering and Screaming as The Maesters Operated on him............

Aegon Was In Agony, He Was Begging the Maesters to Let Just Let Him Die. But Still they continued to operate on him, at last he could take no more and passed out from the Agony. Aegon's Body Was So Heavily Scarred, The Maesters Could Not Fully Heal The Damage. But They Were able To Mend His Broken Bones and Torn Muscles. So When The Twelfth Day of Work Had Ended, King Aegon Targaryen The Sixth, Was Alive and Well (Mostly).

Aegon Was Bound to A Wheelchair, He Was Still recovering from his Wounds, When he Refused to Be Seen Publically Stuck in the Chair, They Gave Him A Cane. Some Had Taken to Calling Him Aegon the Stubborn, but he Prefered Aegon the Independent. Still He Had Managed To Convinced The Watch To Allow Mance's Remaining Army South of the Wall. In Return He promised Them Enough Men, Coin, and Supplies to Completely Rebuild and Fully Garrison and Man every Castle on the Wall. The Wildlings were wary but When They Heard of how the South Viewed Val, and How to "Keep the Kneelers Fat, Quiet and Happy" Aegon would Marry Her, they were content. Aegon Sat In his Chair in Maester Aemon's Library Bringing His Great-Great-Uncle Up To Speed on How House Targaryen Fared.

''So The Customs of Old Still Run Strong eh?'' Asks Aemon when Aegon Tells him of How He had been secretly Sleeping with Rhaenys. ''Maybe For A Time, But I Sent Her off to Marry Young Robin Arryn, While My Aunt Daenerys has been betrothed to Lord Edmure Tully.'' Says Aegon as He Shakily drinks from his cup. ''And Now You Have A Fifth Wife? A Wife Hailing From Beyond The Wall?'' Asks Aemon with a Hint of Mirth in His Voice. ''Yeah, Including A Blackfyre Queen.'' Says Aegon Casually. ''I Never Thought One Would Have Thought to Ask if it would be best to Marry the two Feuding Lines of King Aegon the Unworthy. Marry the Red Dragon of Targaryen To The Black Dragon of Blackfyre.'' Says Aemon.

''Yes, But The benefit is I Got The Sword as well as the Girl. You May Be Blind Uncle Aemon, but You Deserve to At Least Trace your Hands across the Blade of The First Aegon.'' Says Aegon as He Weakly lifts Blackfyre From His Lap onto the Table. Aemon Traces His Hand across the Scabbard of the Blade. ''A Hide From Several Manticores.'' Says Aemon. ''Yeah, The Previous Owner was set upon by a couple of Hundred Manticores. Barely survived and Used their Hides as A Scabbard ever since.'' Says Aegon as Aemon Unsheathes the blade. ''Oh How My Father Maekar wanted to find this Blade and Restore it to House Targaryen.'' Says Aemon Sadly. ''That Reminds me, I Had Intended To Give This To You When I Arrived But Now's As Good A Time as Ever. I Had This Fished out of The Vaults on Dragonstone. It's The Crown Your Father Wore as King.'' Says Aegon as He Hands Aemon the Crown his Father Wore.

''I remember my Brother Aerion Asking my Father About this Crown. He Gave him A Pointed Look and Ignored Him.'' Says Aemon as Aegon Chuckled. ''We Need You Uncle, We Need your Council. But As A Brother of ths Watch I can't ask you to Come South. So I Ask you to Instead Write Us. When we Need advice We ask you answer our call of Need.'' Says Aegon as Aemon Hands him back both Crown and Blade. ''How Much Longer Do You Plan to Stay in the North?'' Asks Aemon. ''Not Much Longer. I Must Return To Kingslanding Soon. I have Several Weddings to Plan. But I Promise You, When You Call for Our Aid, All the Realm will March on the Wall to help You.'' Says Aegon as Jaehaerys Enters. ''The Horses are Ready brother.'' Says Jaehaerys. ''Make that right Now. Goodbye Uncle Aemon. You Truly are the Best of Us.'' Says Aegon as He Grips His Great-Great-Uncle in A Hug. ''Goodbye Aegon. Look after Our House.'' Says Aemon. ''Always.'' Replies Aegon as he Walks out with Jaehaerys.

Aegon Was Riding Back along the Kingsroad with Val and Jaehaerys. ''I'm Glad You've Coms Jaehaerys. We Need You Back Home.'' Says Aegon. ''Aye, but What Will our Mothers and Rhaenys Say?'' Asks Jaehaerys. ''Well Our Mother's will probably be haopy, as for Rhaenys she won't be in much position to answer.'' Says Aegon. ''What do you Mean?'' Asks Jon. She's been sent to The Eyrie, To Wed Lord Robin Arryn. While Aunt Daenerys has Wed Lord Edmure.'' Says Aegon as He and his Retinue Cross into The Crownlands At Long Last.
