[Chapter Size: 3221 Words]-------------------------------------------Jon Snow POVNorth Kingdom, Somewhere in WolfWoods, 289 A.C., many days ter.

  -------------------------------------------

  Jo weeks traveling with his panions of paws and wings. He didn't take a direct route to the Wall, like the King's Road. Essentially, he headed north along the edge of WolfWoods, avoiding all major roads because he had to be cautious with his giant wolves. They would attrauch attention and could result in a hunt by people with radical ideas.

  This led Jon to approach many farms farther from cities and rge vilges. He took advantage and turned his nds into more fertile grounds for 100% utilization, provided predators didn't attack the crops. Still, it was a lifelo, as his pntations would always be fertile from then on and wouldn't be destroyed due to ck of nutrients or the harsh Northern temperatures.

  Jon had no idea how people would react to this, but iure, everyone would take notice over the course of the moons, and soon, even more rumors would spread that the blessed child from the south of the North had passed through their farms.

  Jon wouldn't be aware of the rumors in the ing moons. His pn was to avoid human tact whenever possible and always ensure his "visits" to these farms were stealthy. He used his power mostly at night in the fields. His goal was that he wao help, as Lucas had told him on the day of the attack, so he was helping as much as he could wherever he went.

  Jon began to realize that he had acquired a degree of knowledge about agriculture from the Old Gods, something much more advahan the knowledge he had read in Winterfell. So, he knew how to use his power on these nds.

  The boy with these powers also never went hungry. With the seeds he carried, he could gee any fruit from them and could gee even more seeds from the tree itself. If someorag him, they could see a fruit-bearing tree from tens of kilometers away.

  He realized that he could create a forest in a desert once he became strong enough. He started imagining himself creating tless trees from the ground sihen. He could dream about it every night, but his dreams weren't just about trees. He dreamt of Arya and his father, missing them greatly.

  However, he couldn't deny that he had never been happier in his life than he is now. Unlike being in a protected castle with food, water, and a bed to sleep in, he felt trapped and unhappy, and now he is exposed to the world, sleeping on the ground and among animals, but he was free and happy. His animals had feelings of unditional love for him, something he had from only 2 people among hundreds iark headquarters castle.

  Jon was in a part of the wolf forest, a clearing he used to rest a bit with his batch of panions. Meanwhile, he was lost in thoughts with all the knowledge he had in his mind now. One of them, which he was very ied in learning and practig, was alchemy. He was remembering Master Luwin, who sometimes mentiohat it was used to make medies and poisons.

  He remembered that the master said that Dorne had many masters in poison funded by the Martell family themselves, and studies on remedies ieros were almost all do the Citadel, the headquarters of the order of maesters, a pce Jon one day intends to visit with his thirst for knowledge.

  But with his knowledge in alchemy now, what the boy had in mind was more than just medies or poisons. After his fight and his near-death from straining with his powers in such a childish body, he didn't survive by luck or the gods watg over him. He had been thinking that he needed more than luck when he's just a child fighting against adults. Jon couldn't win any in direct frontation with his current body, so he o resort to other things, like alchemy.

  He was thinking that the Winterfell maester said one day in his csses that some maesters use potions to increase their wisdom or, as Jon knew now, brain activity. But due to the side effects, it was extremely restricted or even prohibited by the order, as besides bringing horrible long-term results, such as maesters being dumber with attention deficits and, in some more extreme cases, bringing chemical dependen the formu, making addicts to the drug.

  But with this idea and thought, he began to reformute chemical aic structures of pnts in his mind to build alchemical potions with more powerful mixtures and minimal or ent side effects. Instead of improving the mind, he would use all this to enhance his physical power. With this, then, the boy ged his pns and decided to dey his trip to the Wall until he could find a solution.

  Yroup settled at this moment in a part of the Wolfswoods after a few weeks of travel. Jon knew he was close to a town in the Glovers' nds. It would be good to establish his small boratory near civilization since he needed resources for some time.

  While still searg food pce, he decided this because if he wants to tinue his journey, he o learn to defend himself and not rely solely on his animals. He still had the short sword he took from a bandit after the battle. The old oook from the dead man in the forest was very worn, but even being a short sword, it was too heavy for a child. He needed a fe to try to reshape it. He also had knowledge of f thanks to the Old Gods now![F knowledge equivalent to a dwarf of hundreds of years in Tolkien's Middle-earth]

  He o not only remake the on but also wao produce the gss for potion experiments.

  Today, Jon decided to use his powers to access the memories of local animals again, not 200 as he did st time, as he almost died from it, but a few dozen to find a good pce to settle.

  So, through mental images, he found some abandoned houses northwest of his location. He was happy sihere ce that looked like an old, broken fe of some lord who settled there. Jon imagihat it beloo some lord hundreds of years or even thousands of years ago judging by the ditions of the pce, as the structure was very old like the oldest castles and cities in the North.

  However, the boy was startled by the images of the memories of that fox that passed through the area because the houses were not as abandoned as he imagi first. In the memory, he saw creatures that were using the houses as dwellings and was nervous about it because they were creatures that until then, he believed were only in the fantasies of books and legends of the North, like tales that Old Nan told, not seen in the North for thousands of years.

  He choked because these creatures were..."Giants..." The boy murmured.

  ---

  A few hours ter.

  ---

  "I hope this is not a terrible idea..." The boy said to himself as he approached the location he had seen while being surrounded by giant wolves and a horse, Caraxes was flying at this moment and studying the area.

  Jon, from some distance, spotted the houses for the first time. He realized that the giants had destroyed the walls and some rooms to settle in a rger space, and even made their beds i was incredible to see real giants, and there were 7 of them here, 2 of them being children who were twice the size of Jon.

  He thought about how this pce was very safe for them to live, as it would never be easy to find these structures, even though it was only two days from the end of the forest, he would never find them if not for his powers. Jon noticed that they made a giant bonfire in the middle of the pce between the houses and thanked in his mind for not messing with the structure that seemed like the old fe.

  Jon was unsure how to tact these creatures. They, as primitive as they seemed pared to humans, he somehow wao unicate with them, believing that they must have their own nguage, thinking about the stories in Winterfell like the giants fought alongside the First Men.

  Caraxes, who nded o the boy after flying over the area, would nd on Jon's shoulder as usual, but the bird had grown a lot, going from a small chick to a little rger than an adult bird within a moon, which was bizarre, but that was due to Jon's magic. The young bird, initially unhappy with its size, as it was still a young bird mentally and could no longer per its master's shoulder due to its size, but always slept ging to the boy.

  Caraxes wasted no time and pined, sounding like a mother saying that the boy always does dangerous things.

  Beside him, Panis, the horse that Jon renamed after taking it from the Icehill farm, was the most excited in the group silently, as he didn't want to alert the group of giants. The horse was a crazy adventurer. As for the 4 wolves surrounding the group, well, they were just wolves, as they remained quiet without expressing much, but ready to act if Jon was in danger.

  Calmly, Jon began to approach the area. It seemed like all the giant residents were here, as he saw everyone eared in the memories of that fox. With his animals following him, Jon began to emerge in the area. Caraxes flew, waiting for any sign of dao his friend and master.

  "!!!" The giants, who were focused on their own things, stopped when they noticed the presence of the boy, being agitated by a child leading a group of giant wolves and a horse.*Steps**Steps**Steps**Steps*Their steps were quite loud against the ground, something normal when you have hundreds of kilograms. Soon, they gathered in a single group to assess Jon's and his wolves' iions.

  Johey were afraid of his group. Even though the rgest ones were 4 meters tall, the presence of the 4 wolves, each 2 meters in size, was intimidating, and it's very likely that the wolves would kill the giants in a fight sihey didn't seem to have bdes other than clubs made of pieces of trees or wood from the houses.

  Jon walked cautiously towards them, showing no aggression. Soon, the two groups stood face to face at a distance of 10 meters, with no one saying anything. Jon in front of the wolves, and the giants looking cautiously at the boy and his group.

  Joing a better look at the giants, realized there were two couples, a giant that looked like a young female, and two twin children, totaling 7 of them here. The adult men were 4 meters tall, while the adult females were a bit shorter i. The oldest giant was quite intimidating, with a scar over one eye, whided up being closed due to the injury.

  Jon didn't find the females attractive by his beauty standards, but he kept his thoughts to himself, not wanting to ahese creatures. He felt like an ant ready to be crushed in front of them, which made him quite nervous.

  Jon also noticed that, despite them weighing over 100 kilograms, they all seemed extremely thin. This deduced that they had settled here retly. Seeing that there were only a few bones of a servant and other small animals, like rabbits and birds, that they mao collect, their sustenance was more signifit with fruits they were harvesting and piling up in a locatioo the camp.

  The boy took the initiative to unicate to break the tension that was f with one group in front of the other. He knew he wouldn't e out whole if his wolves and the giants fought each other while he was in the middle of them.

  "Hello, gentlemen giants! I e in pead don't want to harm you. I just wao know if I use that broken structure there because I , and I io reward you!" Jon poio the fe. But the giants didn't uand what the boy was saying. They just looked at the child with a strange look.

  ["We don't speak your human nguage..."] Their voice was thid slow, as if carrying like a snowstorm in a terrible winter. Despite the slow tuween the words, the boy uood perfectly what they meant.

  Jon wao sp himself at this moment, knowing that giants are inally an a people ieros, who lived even before the First Men. Obviously, their nguage would be the a one. He sighed and spoke the same words in the a nguage.

  ["Hello, gentlemen margranur! I came in pead I don't want to harm you, I wao see if I use that broken structure there because I and I io reward you!"]

  The adult giants looked at each other for a moment and then turheir faces to the fe. *Whispers* Jon heard them whispering, even though he heard the boy between their iions.

  They k wouldn't be a problem to use that pce, but they were still cautious, and the boy saw that. Thinking about what he could do to resolve the standoff, he smiled at this moment.

  Taking the bag of leaves that stored the seeds, Jon took a brown seed from it and walked to a er of the pce carefully not to show any hostile a, his wolves stayed in pce because Jon anded mentally.

  After walking carefully until he was about 5 meters away from the roup, Jon crouched down and began to dig the ground with his bare hands. After opening a hole and burying the seed, he stepped back a few steps, with all eyes attentive and curious both in front of him and his group of wolves on guard for any hostile a from the giants. He pressed his hand to the ground.

  Below his hands, a soft emerald light began to bee visible. The giants didn't fail to see this low thiween the ground and the palm of the small human here.

  In the moment, all the giants were stunned and even scared, taking steps back armed and even 3 of them falling on their butts.

  The ground where the seeds were pnted began to shake, and roots started to e out of the ground towards the sky. Soon, these roots became a trunk. After a certai, the roots began to spread in 360 degrees f its branches. When it reached the limit, all the branches began to gain leaves. In a few seds, the dry tree that was there gained life with tens of thousands of small leaves, and from these leaves, red fruits began to be born. The magical spectacle turned inte tree, 5 meters high in 40 seds, shining with its green leaves and red fruits, which were apples.

  This type of tree wouldn't survive in the climate of the North; however, the apple tree was strengthened with Jon's magic. The adult giants had wide eyes; the teenage female and the two children were quite frightened, and Jon smiled at that. He walked again to the spot and touched the tree, causing tles to fall into his hand as if he had ahe tree to do saining a bit of ce, Jon walked up to the giants who were now more afraid of Jon himself than those giant wolves behind the tree.

  Approag within 2 meters, Jon bit into one of the apples in front of them, showing that they were edible. Sav its taste, which Jon could never get tired of, he extehe free arm with the other apple and offered it directly to that group of giants, especially to the children, who were cautious and frightened.

  Little Jon couldn't bme them, but the adult giants had a different thought, seeing a child surrounded by so many animals that not even the adult wargs in the most powerful tribes could have, and not to mention that 4 giant wolves are powerful familiars. Now, witnessing that this human child geed a tree from the ground with just a seed, in their heads, the human boy was a blessed creature, and they set aside the fear of the unknown for admiration of the child in front of them.

  The giant with one eye closed due to the scar, who seemed to be the father of the twin children, nodded and told one of the boys to do what the human had suggested.

  The still cautious child reached out and took that small red ball, observed again how the human was eating, then did the same. His bite took half of the apple, and Jon imagined he could swallow it whole if he wanted.

  Suddenly, the 2-meter boy was surprised by the taste of that small ball and quickly swallowed the rest, leaving all the giants surprised at the child's a, w if it was that delicious.

  Jon saw how the giant was amazed by the apple and ate the rest quickly. It seemed like he haden something so good in his entire life. He quickly poio the tree and said in the a nguage, "This is called an apple, and that tree is yours as payment for me to use that pce with a fe. I won't harm you, just use it for a while, and then I'll leave."

  The giants, hearing this, looked with shining eyes now. Giants are naturally herbivores; they o meat with great need because they hate eating such food. And that's what happened when they came here; as they didn't want to attract the attention of the nearby humans, they didn't go very far from this pd had to resort to hunting to suppress the ck of food. However, giants are terrible hunters; they don't have most tools like humans and rely more on luck than anything else. This made them suffer from food shes, even those they themselves hated.

  They looked at the child and nodded with joy. No matter what Jon asked of them, whether it be that structure made by the former owners of the pce or something else, they would willingly accept. Giants are difficult creatures to gain trust, but it's much simpler when there's food when they are starving and running away from north of the Wall.

  Without wasting any more time, the giants walked past Jon and began to walk towards the apple-filled tree. Jon smiled at the se before his eyes ao the broken fe to assess its dition and start his work.
