Samwell Tarly’s heart was pounding through his chest. His trembling fingers could barely grasp the sword in his hands. The wights appeared on top the battlements, scaling the wall like spiders. Sam coughed and hacked as the smoke caught in his throat. The smell was a mix of burning wood and burning bodies. I’ve seen too many bodies burn, Sam thought. Not everyone needs to die. Not Gilly. Not Little Sam. The bloodthirsty wights shrieked. It was a shrill sound, echoing amongst the stone walls of Winterfell’s courtyard.

Sam gripped his sword. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. He screamed, coughed, and charged forward.

The Story

"During the Battle of Winterfell, Lyanna commands the defense of Winterfell's courtyard. After the castle's walls are breached, a wight giant storms through the gates of Winterfell and knocks Lyanna out of his way. Injured, she gets up and charges toward the Giant, but he lifts her, crushing both her and her armor with his clenching fist. Near death, Lyanna musters the strength to deliver a final blow, a dragonglass dagger straight into the Giant's eye, killing him."

- Wiki of Westeros, Lyanna Mormont
