“the gods heard my prayer, she thought. she felt so numb and dreamy. 𝐦𝐲 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧, 𝐭𝐨 𝐢𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐲, 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐥.”
“she could feel the 𝐬𝐧𝐨𝐰 on her 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐬, taste it on her 𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬. it was the taste of 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐥. the taste of 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞. the taste of 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬.”
“when the 𝐬𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐬 fall and the white 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬 blow, the lone wolf 𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬 but 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬.”
“he was standing right there, smirking at her with those fat wormlips. 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐝𝐨 𝐢𝐭, she told herself. 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝. do it right now. it wouldn’t even matter if she went over with him. 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥.”
“she took 𝐨𝐧𝐞 step, then 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫. lords and knights stepped aside silently to let her pass, and she felt the 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 of their eyes on her. 𝐢 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫.”
“once, she had loved prince joffrey with all her heart, and admired and trusted his mother, the queen. they had repaid that 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 and 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 with her father’s 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝. 𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐚 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧.”
“white towers and white snow and white statues, black shadows and black trees, the dark grey sky above. 𝐚 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝, 𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐚 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭. 𝐢 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞. 𝐲𝐞𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞.”
“𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞. sansa took a deep breath. i am a 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐤, yes, i can be 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞.”
“i will remember, your grace," said sansa, though she had always heard that 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 was a surer route to the people’s 𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐲 than fear. 𝐢𝐟 𝐢 𝐚𝐦 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐚 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐧, 𝐢’𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐞.”
“it 𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐭 to remember how 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 she had been that morning. hullen had helped her mount, and she’d ridden out with the snowflakes swirling around her, off to see the great wide 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝. i thought my 𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐠 was 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 that day, but it was almost 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐞.”
“another day. another new day. it was the 𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 she hungered for. 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫.”
“she wondered where this 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 had come from, to speak to him so 𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐥𝐲. from 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐥, she thought. i am 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 within the walls of 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐥.”
“sansa could not recall ever tasting the wine. she needed no wine. she was drunk on 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭, giddy with glamour, swept away by 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 she had 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰.”
“there are no 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐞𝐬. in life, the 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 win.”
“the 𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐧 girl. 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐥’𝐬 𝐝𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐫. we heard she 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 the king with a 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐥𝐥, and afterward changed into a 𝐰𝐨𝐥𝐟 with big leathery 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 like a bat, and 𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐰 out a tower window.”
“the fighting will be done and someone will tell me whether i’m to 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 or 𝐝𝐢𝐞. "𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐲," she whimpered 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐥𝐲, wondering if she would meet her wolf again when she was 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝.”
“be brave, she told herself. 𝐛𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞, 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐠.”
“the truth is either always 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 or 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠.”
“her hair was a rich autumn 𝐚𝐮𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐧. the 𝐫𝐞𝐝 in it would catch the 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 of the torches and 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞 like copper.”
“i am 𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐥. this is my 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 and you 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 frighten me.”
“they’ve never seen a 𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞, they’ve never seen a man 𝐝𝐢𝐞, they know 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠. their dreams were full of 𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐬 and 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬, the way hers had 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 before joffrey cut her fathers head off. sansa 𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐝 them. sansa 𝐞𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐝 them.”
“the north 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 remain an 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 kingdom, as it was for 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬.”
“a falcon soared above the frozen waterfall, 𝐛𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐬𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐤𝐲. 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥.”
“she was a 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐤 of 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐥, a 𝐧𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐲, and 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐲 she would be a 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐧.”
