'Didn't he ask me that already?...' "Lexi Elendil, first of my name, of the Shade Academy for Lost Creatures and Foundlings, The Silent Phantom of Underworld Level Six" Lexi hoped it sounded impressive enough. "I have come from... Uhh..." 'Where have I come from...?' "...Across the stars, travelling many leagues to be here, and now I must journey North of The Wall to search for a relic..." She paused a moment. "Which way's north, and where's The Wall?"

"North of the Wall?! HA! You wont last five minutes out there on your own." Valarr smirked as he contemplated the thought of this strange lady trying to brave the wilderness.... 'Although, she is looking for a relic' he though 'She couldnt possibly be... no... but if she is, two sets of eyes are always better than one.'. "Very well then Lexi Elendil, I shall take you North to the wall. It is out of my way, but it seems that i owe you a debt, and i shall pay it by keeping you alive." 'better not tell her what im looking for.... not yet anyway.' He turned from Lexi and begun to walk away.... "Well come on then!"

Lexi hurried to catch up, losing her footing slightly in the swirling mists that seemed to accompany Valarr. "Never underestimate your opponents" she thought about that statement for a second "or your allies". Irritated though she was at how pathetic this being thought her, Lexi had to admit that she needed help, at least getting there. 'And I tried to help him, too!'

As the pair trekked further from the pool, the white mist that had descended upon valarrs arrival begun to fade... "yeah, it does that." He said. Although lexi hadnt asked anything, he knew that she would probably would.... "i dont really have much control over it to be honest, it comes and goes depending on what mood im in." he was walking at a much slower pace then he usually would, 'this is no place to be strolling.' he thought, but he was unsure of Lexi's capabilities or what she could and could not endure, so he decided to keep at her pace for now contemnplating to himself 'if anything bad happens ive got it covered'.... "So what makes you think that what you seek is beyond the wall?"

"I'm simply following orders. I go where I'm told." 'Why are going so slow?' Lexi thought 'This is going to take forever...' But she didn't dare say anything. She got the impression that Valarr didn't like her very much. "If I'm told to come to Westeros, go north of The Wall and find some relic, that's what I do."

Valarr could emphasise with this, he had spent much of his life following orders and carrying out missions, without question. But that was another life, and he took orders from no one now. "Well that explains it then... only ive yet to encounter anybody who would want to go north of their own free will." He stopped, and put his hand out to signal that lexi should do likewise. Valarr began to scour the surroundings in every direction, listening intensely..... "We better pick up the pace.... for I believe that we are not alone in these woods."

Lexi stopped and listened intently but heard nothing but the wind rustling through the leaves. "North can't be that bad, can it?"

Valarr continued to survey the surrounding areas, but could hear nothing... whatever it was that had caught his attention, it had gone... for now. He looked at Lexi "Well that depends upon what you define as not being bad.... if a hostile and inhabitable frozen wasteland, with barely any food, shelter or warmth, in which everyone and everything is either trying to kill or eat you isnt bad, then no, i suppose it isnt." he grinned as he thought to himself 'And that was the nice desription...'

"Hostile and uninhabitable frozen wastelands don't scare me" Lexi smiled, wondering if this was the reaction Valarr had envisioned when he spoke "and if something tries to kill me, it'll have to get through my swords first." She looked around at the woodland and continued walking, at a slightly faster pace. "So if you're not from this land, how do you know so much about the north?"

"Get through your swords you say? Valarr Smiled... "A woman after my own heart." 'Perhaps there is some hope for you yet' he thought. "The reason why i know so much about the North, is because it is my job to know as much as i can about everything... you see, in my line of work, knowing ones surroundings is of the utmost importance, and a target could be anywhere." The two continued along the woodland path. In the sky, the light was fading as the sun gradually slipped beyond the horizon. As they walked, the ground beneath their feet began to rustle at first, which transformed into a crunch the further and further they walked, it was all frozen. "We're getting close."
*Meanwhile, back at the pool* The sound of steps drawing nearer and nearer to the water. Then panting, getting faster and faster. A Dire Wolf. It moves to the water and takes a drink, causing ripples to run across the pool. As the water calms, the reflection reveals two more of the beasts behind it. They sniff around the banks of the pool over an area that has recently been disturbed. They bark and growl at one another, and then all head North, with excitement in their pace.
