[Chapter Size: 2100 Words.]
Third Person POV.
Somewhere on North.
...
...
The sun was still announcing the beginning of the day as Jon calmly walked through the forest. He had strayed a few kilometers from the camp while heading west with his trail of light. He continued through the forest, cutting through dense thickets, crossing some rivers, and even climbing some elevations to follow the quickest path according to the best shortcuts revealed by his clairvoyance magic.
As the sun reached its midday position, Jon decided to stop for a meal before continuing. He conjured a spell and summoned 4 spectral wolves, which appeared in front of him, howling softly.
"Go after tracks, leave the rest of the work to me," Jon ordered, and the spectral wolves, obeying their master, quickly began to sniff the ground in search of the scent of any animal, the bigger, the better.
It didn't take long, as they quickly found a trail of a fox and followed in that direction. Jon nodded and followed them, after all, there was no living animal nearby for him to use his detect life spell on.
They continued until the wolves signaled that the animal was close. He began to dissipate his summonings and started to follow the path on his own, as he didn't want to hunt an animal with his conjuration, something inappropriate for many gods in Skyrim.
He didn't have a bow, so he decided to do it the old-fashioned way by drawing a sword from his storage space, holding it in his hands, ready to launch his attack as soon as he was ready.
He proceeded until he found a clearing with small, almost imperceptible marks on the ground before using his detect life magic, seeing the exact position of his target, which was eating some small prey it had caught in the forest.
He raised his sword and prepared to enter the site, which quickly noticed the human appearing. Before it could react, Jon threw the sword with his hand, hitting a critical point directly on the fox, which fell dead the next moment, dying without suffering.
Jon approached and began to pull out his embedded sword while leaving the site with the carcass, creating a small fire while cleaning its skin. He kept his conjurations up again to monitor the area, "Just don't attack it, ignore it," Jon gave his last order before the wolves entered the forest.
He continued cleaning the animal until it was good in his view and placed it on the spit while the sword was used as a skewer. A while later, when it was ready, Jon looked to one side of the forest and couldn't help but smile. "Are you going to keep following me all the time hidden? Or will you come out?" He said, and a woman emerged from the forest.
"You knew I was following you the whole time, didn't you?" She asked as she approached.
"Not for long, just a few hours. There wouldn't have been any way for me to tell you to return to the group going back to Mance's camp, Ygritte," Jon said to the red-haired girl.
"I'm a good hunter, I caught your trail since you left and waited a bit to not be too obvious. After all, I saw strange creatures that I could see the other side of, as if it was invisible, and their footprints are here too. I thought they were some kind of cold shadow or creature of theirs, but they're circling around you, meaning they're yours... What are those things?" She asked, still remembering the shock when she saw the spectral wolves, their bodies ethereal and their eyes the only strong color, so Ygritte had quite a scare when she saw them.
"They're my summonings with magic, but that doesn't matter now. Are you going to tell me what you're doing here?" Jon asked in a more serious tone.
"I came to follow you. I wanted to know what the man who can spit fire from his mouth came to do on this side," Elsa said without any shame.
"You don't know how dangerous that can be," Jon said.
"We all saw you fight, you can handle anything. You don't fight like a man, are you some kind of God?" She asked curiously, studying him.
"Haha. No, I'm a mortal, special with a dragon's soul, but you can't classify me as a deity," Jon said amusingly, finding it hilarious that people compared him to the divine, even though he had had to kill a god here and there.
"Dragon? What's that?" she asked curiously, having never heard the word before.
"A quite legendary creature, but they no longer exist in this world, or at least that's what everyone believes," Jon spoke, though he could feel something in the southeast and north direction, he still claimed they were extinct.
"I don't really understand what you mean," she admitted.
"It's hard to explain," he said, since the concept of a dragon was hard to explain and he didn't master illusion to generate an appropriate image.
"Good thing we have plenty of time! After all, there's no way I can go back now, is there?" she said with a sly smile.
"You really like putting yourself in danger, don't you?" he said sarcastically.
"Don't worry, I can take care of myself," she said.
"You saw what we faced yesterday. We might encounter something worse," Jon warned.
"You can protect me like yesterday," she stubbornly retorted.
"Fine, just stay close to me and don't disobey me," Jon said in the end, tired of the girl and her insistence, but he could do nothing but have her accompany him, it was better than wandering around alone.
"That's great!" she exclaimed happily, and Ygritte looked at the food roasting in Jon's hand holding the sword.
"Here," Jon said, cutting off a piece of meat with another blade.
"Thank you," she said in the end and began to eat with her hands, where Jon did the same as they ate in silence.
As soon as they finished devouring a large part of the fox, Jon began to organize things to leave, but effortlessly since he had many supplies inside his dimensional space.
They started walking again with Jon leading, it was not as quiet as before because...
"You really aren't a god?" Ygritte asked.
"No..." Jon replied.
"Are you sure?" she insisted.
"I am," he responded.
"But men can't do those things, whatever it has to do with that dragon you mentioned," she commented.
"Just understand that I can do things no one else can," he said.
"Can you teach me?" she asked with interest.
"I doubt it," Jon said, knowing it was impossible.
"Those wolves, are they circling us?" Ygritte asked.
"Yes," Jon said directly.
"How do you call them?" she said, looking around trying to find a spectral wolf.
"Like this," Jon said, imagining how it might be difficult to explain the concept behind the wolf, and a dark purple energy appeared in his hand before he released it, creating a ball of the same color in a nearby corner, and a fire woman emerged from it.
"WHAT IS THAT!?" Ygritte screamed as she fell backward at the sight of this summoning.
"This is an atronach..." Jon said as the fire woman approached him and began to spin in the air.
"SHE ISN'T TOUCHING THE GROUND AND STILL RELEASES FIRE ONTO THE EARTH?!" Ygritte couldn't believe her eyes, this creature was flying some distance off the ground and created a line of fire below her.
"That's how I summon my wolves, with my magic. This atronach is a very special summoning, once I ended up entering a tribe of giants after falling from a dragon I had just killed, the giants were not very pleased with me and the dead dragon destroying their homes on the fall, I had to fight them and summoned 15 atronachs to deal with 50 giants, this event was quite amazing and thrilling," Jon spoke with some pleasure of one of his major adventures in Skyrim.
Ygritte looked at him as if he had a second head, wondering if what he said was really real, but the fire woman in front of her clearly was, so she decided not to dwell on it.
Jon sent the atronach back to Oblivion and told Ygritte to continue the journey through a forest of dry pines.
"You..." Ygritte was going to speak, but Jon raised his hand to stop her.
"Silence... there's something wrong," he said and looked in some direction.
Suddenly, he heard his wolf howling and growling in the distance, opening his spell he saw movements in the forest heading towards them.
He returned his gaze to a confused Ygritte. "You, climb that tree," he ordered, and after hesitating a bit, she did just that. Jon grabbed his White Walker spear and prepared for what was to come.
The silence of the forest was soon broken by the sound of footsteps approaching their direction. He simply readied himself in his combat stance while Ygritte looked on bewildered at what was happening. The area was somewhat open, so they could see the first animals coming.
It was 2 bears and a dozen wolves, running towards them. She used her conjuration magic and summoned an ice atronach, a giant frozen rock appeared next to Jon, and he readied himself for the crowd of animals that was approaching.
The wolves were the first to reach him, as he quickly cut down the first ones while they yelped in pain and fell dead on the ground, but these were not the only wolves. Many of them were already on Jon, while some were crushed by the ice atronach. Ygritte wasted no time in shooting arrows at them too. Jon went into the mode he did when facing the dead the previous night, he simply shut his mind off while starting to slash everything, dodging the animals. A wolf jumped from behind him, baring its fangs, Jon quickly spun his body and made a perfect cut in its neck.
The bears finally arrived as well, Jon dodged two swipes while Ygritte buried arrows in them, but they kept attacking, uncaring of the blood flowing from their wounds.
Jon, tired of this, prepared his shout. "Raan Mir Tah!" he shouted, echoing like thunder through the pine forest. The animals, all of them, suddenly stopped, becoming non-aggressive. With his shout, he could turn all wildlife into his ally, and he hadn't used it before because he didn't know it would work and wanted to know what was happening, but there was no way for him to find out now.
"How did you?" Ygritte asked, stunned, looking at all the animals now standing in place, making no move.
"Don't shoot them anymore, they will no longer be our enemies," Jon said.
Ygritte jumped down from her tree and approached, looking cautiously at all the animals. "They're not dead... why were they attacking us?" she asked worriedly.
"That's true... They were being controlled, it's that Warg... He knows we're here and heading to his location, isn't it the first time he's tried to kill me and it certainly won't be the last, so be very alert on this journey. I managed to end his control over these animals, but he can still summon the dead and White Walkers like he did last night," Jon said.
"Was it him who brought those cold shadows?" Ygritte asked, concerned.
"It's hard to explain, but yes. His target is me. It seems he doesn't want me to exist in this world, so I'm going to kill him." Jon was sure that the number of the dead that appeared the previous night was not normal, so it was certain that being was behind these animals, and this attack just confirmed it.
"Prepare to continue the journey," Jon said as he was surrounded by wolves, bears, shadowcats, foxes, all standing still waiting for his command, while there was also the ice atronach now standing still, not attacking anyone.
