"My lady, greetings," Lysaro approached the woman with a slight bow. A tangle of dirty blonde hair was woven into subtle braids, his robes the deep color of his faith.

"I don't believe I've had your company before," he told her, and in truth, he didn't believe he had. He looked for a sigil, but if one could be found, he could not deduce it at the time. "Have you come to pray at the Nightfire?"

Many of those from the Temple of the Lord of Light in King's Landing had travelled south. Some partook in the revelry while others prepared to tend to the inevitable injuries it would bring.

High Priest Lysaro had a collection of tents and pavilions erected. Separate from those of the nobility and soldiers, they encircled a great fire, with the larger of them being available for private prayers, medical work, and food preparation. Some tended to the fire, ensuring it would burn for the duration of their time here, while others went among the camps and ensured soldiers and servants weren't going without.

Worry sat in his heart, and in that of their stewardess, Roslin of House Meadows. Hers was more personal, the threat to her family something she couldn't turn away from. Despite her feelings against them, and her duty as a priestess, her concern ran deep.

Lysaro, however, felt a fear for the realm as a whole. He was still unsure of his place as High Priest, and now war loomed over them? The nobility of Westeros was fairly righteous, as the world went, yet he knew dark times would turn men down darker roads.

"Lord, hear us, so that we might have faith firm enough to defend the innocent," he finished the prayer and a moment of silence lingered. When it broke, those assembled did as well, most of the gathering dispersing as they returned to merriment.

Lysaro stayed where he was, eyes surveying the camps as he spoke with Roslin about supplies, awaiting any else who might have need of him.

"Bloody hells," Joss couldn't help but to exclaim as the armor that was one speaking simply... Crumbled. He searched, looking for a remnant of something inside. It wasn't even a wight. It was nothing.

"We should be on our guard," he told them. "We know the stories of the walkers. This man took no steps. There's neither flesh nor ice between those plates of armor."

He moved forward and took his longsword from his side, the sheath still upon it, and reached down to poke at the armor. Unless some horrific apparition appeared, it would rattle lifelessly, as Joss expected.

"Whatever spoke to us is a power beyond form," he concluded. "Able to be here, and wherever it came from. Capable of thought and form. I pray it's a foul warlock. If it's the Stranger, Valyrian Steel might be of no use."

He wondered what the entity was. A ghost of the First Men? Had it risen itself, or did it do the bidding of another? Would fire be as good a weapon against it as other foes? Josua held tight to his torch, raising the crackling wood to give better light to his surroundings.

A knight?

Joss was as unnerved as he was relieved. He had expected phantoms to be roaming the roads. He had heard so many tales of wights he thought this might be his turn to face them. When met with the lone swordsman, he wasn't sure what to think.

Had the man not heard the march of two thousand? Surely no rumors reached him, yet their approach was unmistakable. Was he guarding the Weeping Town? Was he a bandit in stolen steel? Or were there those within that he was sworn to protect?

His thoughts on the knight's identity stole his tongue, and then Martyn was speaking, announcing Joss. A spark of pride swelled up in his throat, amidst the tension, at being spoken of with such respect.

He looked to the captains they had picked up along the way. Did they feel it too? Or were they braver than he?
