After a long summer, winter has finally come as the cold winds blow, the far North from. The green grass seas have long gone dry and white flakes fall from a dark gray sky.
Now the sun begins to hide its face in fear while in the far North white shadows appear. Blue stars are shining on moon pale faces and darkness enfolds the Northern places.
When the white frost lies not only on peaks and every tear freezes already on the cheeks the human heart beats slower in the cold it doesn’t matter if one is fearsome or bold.
Beware if not prepared for a long winter for warmth it is to burn every splinter. When the drums of the cold winds demur a skinless man wishes for a White Bear’s fur. (Bolton vs. Umber)
When in winter every mile becomes two and winter’s weather disturbs the view then kings got stuck in deepest snow and all his bannermen are getting slow.
Now men are marching to where the Winter fell until a snowstorm rises in a period of dwell. The icy voice of death cries in a screechy tone when apace in the frozen horns of war is blown.
The ink freezes before words are written and knights’ hands by icy swords are bitten. Silvery clouds cover the lands for many miles from the great Wall as far as to the Iron Isles.
The Winter’s breath comes down the Wall and the lowest light shows the shadows tall. The Snow has fallen and lies pale and cold while a dead man’s Ghost tries life to hold.
The earth is gone down in deepest grief and from a weirwood falls a single leaf. The ravens are seen more than other birds to carry a message: dark wings, dark words.
Though all is covered in darkness and cold old prophecies promise smoke and salt. When the most sad time is here to cry a red star will bleed in the darkest sky!
In the color of frost a blue rose will rise again at the Wall, where he felt his deepest pain. Great winged shadows will be seen on snow and the crack of leathern wings will cause a row
The Winter is hard, but the Starks will endure this is how it always was and will be, for sure. In the deepest winter spring can’t be far behind as the night is darkest before the dawn, remind!
