Chapter 96 - Negotiations with Free Folk (III)
"It really is a strange world, one day the boy was a bastard and the next, he was a prince riding a dragon." Jeor Mormont in front of Aenar Targaryen, formerly known as Jon Snow.

The closer he got to the Wall, the more Aenar could feel the cold intensifying. The temperature was significantly colder than the last time he was at the Wall.
At the same time, Aenar could see things he couldn't see before, especially the war between the two gods above Westeros. In his eyes, the colors blue and red collided violently in the sky, like two different gigantic seas crashing into each other.
R'hllor and Great Other.
Honestly, as the Avatar of the Omnipotent and Omniscient God, the fact that R'hllor couldn't kill this God meant many things, showing that Great Other was the Avatar of a God of great power, just like the Omnipotent and Omniscient God.
For someone who has read cosmic horror, Aenar just hoped it wasn't an Outer God. He already had to deal with the future Gods of Chaos, he didn't want to have to deal with another Pantheon of Gods full of madness and insanity.
However, another thing that caught Aenar's attention was the Wall. To others, the Wall looked like a gigantic wall of ice and snow, but to Aenar's eyes, in addition to the structure itself, a white force field acted as a long curtain of light, going from the highest point of the Wall and up as far as his vision could no longer reach.
Aenar saw that this was the reason why Silverwing hadn't crossed the Wall during Queen Alyssane I's visit to the North. It was a barrier that prevented magical beings from leaving the Far North. Although dragons could cross it, they would probably feel very uncomfortable.
Under the snow that covered the Wall, Aenar also discovered hundreds of thousands of runes intricately carved into the seemingly eternal ice, runes that, strangely enough, drew power from a dimension he was getting to know very well - the Immaterium Dimension.
How exactly the Runes of the First Men were doing this, Aenar had a certain idea, especially when he noticed the Weirwoods scattered all over the North.
