The dagger causes the Other to shrink and puddle, dissolving away in twenty heartbeats. Only the dagger remains, wreathed in steam. [[Grenn]] goes to scoop up the dragonglass dagger, but has to fling it down again as it is extremely cold.{{Ref|asos|18}} At [[Craster's Keep]], Samwell discusses obsidian with [[Jeor Mormont]]. The [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch]] tells Sam that if dragonglass kills the Others as Sam claims, he wants more of it.

[[Armen]] explains the vigil an acolyte must hold to become a [[maester]], where one fruitlessly attempts to light one of the Citadel's glass candles, and says that obsidian does not burn. [[Pate (novice)|Pate]] remembers that the smallfolk call obsidian dragonglass, and [[Alleras]] wonders if the return of [[dragons]] is what lets the candle burn again.{{ref|AFFC|0}} At the Wall, Samwell tells Jon, the new Lord Commander, that he has learned the children of the forest used to give the Night's Watch a hundred obsidian daggers every year, during the [[Age of Heroes]].{{ref|AFFC|5}} When Sam arrives at the Citadel, there is a black glass candle burning in Marwyn's study on the [[Isle of Ravens]].
