Meera, Jojen, Bran, Hodor, and Coldhands travel [[beyond the Wall]] in search of the [[three-eyed crow]], riding Coldhand's great elk. The journey is difficult for all the children, as they struggle to find food and deal with the cold. They take shelter in an abandoned [[wildling]] village while Coldhands deals with a threat. The group discusses the nature of Coldhands, deciding that he is not alive. Meera does not trust him. Meera protects her weakened brother Jojen from the cold, though he tells Meera it is not the day he dies.{{Ref|ADWD|4}}

When his elk collapses along their journey, Coldhands whispers a blessing in an [[True Tongue|unknown language]] and slits the [[animal]]'s throat; he and Meera butcher the carcass for food. They reach the [[cave of the three-eyed crow]], and Meera helps Jojen climp up the hill, half-carrying, half-dragging him. When the group is ambushed by [[wights]] near the entrance, Coldhands fights them off while Meera jabs at them with her spear to keep them away. Bran [[skinchanger|takes control]] of Hodor and attacks the wights, and Meera defends the giant man when a wight claws at him. [[Leaf]], one of the [[children of the forest]], fends off the wights, allowing Hodor to carry Jojen and Meera to rescue Bran's crippled body. Inside the cave, the group meet the remaining children and the three-eyed crow.{{Ref|ADWD|13}} 

They find safety in the cave, staying there for months, while Bran learns about being a [[greenseer]] from the three-eyed crow, who calls himself [[Brynden Rivers|Brynden]]. Bran and Meera make up names for the children they meet. Jojen falls into a resigned depression, and a fretting Meera struggles to keep their spirits up.{{Ref|ADWD|34}} Bran thinks he might be falling in love with Meera,{{Ref|ADWD|13}} and he considers entering Hodor's mind so he could comfort her. Meera tells Bran that Jojen wants to go home to [[Greywater Watch]]. She says that Jojen isn't willing to try and fight his fate, stating that the greendreams do not lie. Meera says she had hoped finding the three-eyed crow would do something, but now she wonders why they even came. After Bran is fed the [[weirwood paste]] and communes with Winterfell's [[heart tree]] for the first time, Hodor returns him to their sleeping chamber in the cave, but neither Meera nor Jojen are there.{{Ref|ADWD|34}}
