(Third person)
The Stark army was approaching House Volmark's stronghold, about 600 meters away. The Stark soldiers, having crossed the hill, saw the Druid standing about 60 meters from the Citadel gate.
The soldiers' attention was entirely focused on the Druid, then they slowly came to a stop. Suddenly, Fireball appeared in the Druid's hands; he combined Fireball and began to control Fireball. The soldiers fired many arrows at him, but not a single one hit him.
The Fireball instantly expanded, turning crimson. He unleashed the spell, and the city gate was destroyed in a terrible explosion. The soldiers who saw the explosion were stunned for a few seconds, but after a moment of surprise, the Stark commanders, seeing the city gate disappear, suddenly roared in fury.
"Charge!"
As soon as Aermir finished chanting the spell, he transformed into a golden eagle and began to fly towards the longship. He entered the captain's cabin, reverted to human form, discarded his Druid attire, and, with Caygan's help, removed his armor. While Lord Stark was inside, Harrick waited at the door, speaking to Caygan in the same manner as I did. This way, people would assume we were having an important conversation. When Aermir returned, Lord Stark asked...
What happened? Did you manage to destroy the gate?
"Yes, sir, I did it."
For a moment, he stopped speaking and contacted Erebus to see what had happened.
"Our men are starting to rush towards the door; if we hurry, I can get there in time."
He ordered the Sith to prepare to run. After Buff Lord Stark and his two brothers, he swiftly mounted the Sith and rode away. In an instant, they disappeared over the mountaintop. Lord Stark had 9 points of Strength and 12 points of Speed. He wasn't particularly powerful, but he was very fast. After the Buff, his attributes received a +4 bonus.
( Eddard Stark's perspective)
I could hardly believe the power surging through my body; I felt like I was back in my 18-year-old self, full of energy and vitality. I felt as light as a feather, and I swore I could crush stones with my bare hands. We mounted our horses and began galloping towards the Citadel, but I couldn't feel the wind blowing in my face.
It was as if an invisible wall was blocking my way, stopping the wind. When I asked the twins why, they told me it was thanks to the Arrow Deflection Aermir cast on me. They said it created a deflection aura around me, capable of even deflecting javelins.
As I and my 100 guards crossed the hill, all our soldiers began pouring through the gate, but I could not see Aermir anywhere.

" Sith, use some magic, but not all of it. You'll need it in the battle. I want to get there before they pile up at the door."
-Yes, Master-
She began to accelerate, and although we hadn't reached top speed, we were already going 200 kilometers per hour. Thanks to the wind, I didn't feel any wind at all. A few minutes later, we reached the top of the mountain, and she began to rush towards the gate. The soldiers were almost there too. There were about 100 meters between the soldiers and the gate, and Sith was rapidly closing in on them.
At that moment, I thought of a crazy idea, but I felt it was feasible and would allow our men to take control of the gate more quickly.
-Sith, don't slow down, speed up, jump over our soldiers, and sneak through the gate.-
-But Master, I'm going too fast, I'll crash!-
-Don't worry, I'll shield you from the impact.-
She quickened her pace, expending more magic, but it was only a matter of seconds. She charged forward, leaping over the soldiers without hesitation. Her trust in me was unwavering. I saw our soldiers look up as the giant cat leaped over 20 meters and swooped through the gate. Just as we were about to collide, I cast Oak Shield over Sith and summoned an air elemental. In an instant, she looked like a puppet made of bark, and we crashed into the Ironborn soldiers like cannonballs.
With the help of the air element, I cast a gust of air in front of us to cushion our impact. This created a dust cloud around us and also deflected their spears with a Buff to the Wind Shield. I could hear their cries for help and their panicked voices. After the fall, I dispelled all of Sith's armor, leaving only the armor beneath her shield as usual. Her head, chest, and back were covered in thin steel armor made of small steel plates. Then, there were leather armor supports on her legs.
I wanted to make her a full leather armor set, because the only purpose of leather armor is to conceal armor spells, but Mikken thought I was crazy to order something like that and refused to make one. He said he wouldn't be responsible for my death.
This armor slowed Sith down a bit, so her top speed was 250, and the heavy armor only allowed her to stay at that speed for 45 seconds. At first, I thought I should get a horse coat instead of armor, but that would hinder her claw attacks. So I abandoned that idea and ordered a thin piece of armor instead. (A horse coat is a long cloth armor that protects the legs of a mount.)
I held the new halberd in my hand and swung it wildly. I had experience with spears, but no experience with halberds. It was heavy, but not as heavy as other halberds; its design allowed me to wield the double crescent halberd with one hand, and I liked using it.
It's perfect for mounted combat; I was quite skilled with " Red Rain " when I used it, but my attack range was limited, so I felt useless above the Sith. But now, I'm harvesting souls with both hands, while the Sith is crushing everyone closer to us.
A few seconds later, our men began pouring through the gates, Ironborn's defenses at the Citadel gates crumbled. They retreated in terror towards the Citadel. A few minutes later, Lord Stark joined the battle. He wielded sword and shield, moving like Ghost among the Ironborn.
They were no match for him. Thanks to his speed boost, he was incredibly fast. Some knights who knew just how fast he was had stopped fighting and were staring at him in disbelief.
As usual, Harrick used his 13 Strength to weave through the enemy like a bulldozer. Caygan, on the other hand, used his 13 Speed in the widest area, stinging like a bee and fluttering like a butterfly. His fighting style looked more like a deadly dance than a brawl. Half an hour later, we had the Citadel under control, and the rest of the House Volmark retreated into the main castle.
The interior of the Citadel is no different from other Citadel, containing a small village with kitchens, workshops, gardens, stables, and a small chapel for the Drowned God. The Citadel's design differs from that of the North.
Because of the heavy snowfall in the North, all the towers have conical roofs, and the roofs of the houses have steep slopes. But like other parts of Westeros, the roofs here are flat or have gentle slopes. The biggest difference here is that, due to the sea winds, lime and salt have accumulated on the top of the Wall.
