[[Coldhands]] leads Bran, [[Hodor]], and [[Meera Reed|Meera]] and [[Jojen Reed]] north of the [[Wall]] to the [[cave of the three-eyed crow]], whom Coldhands calls the [[three-eyed crow|last greenseer]].{{Ref|ADWD|4}} They are attacked by [[wight]]s at the entrance, a cleft in the hillside, but they survive with the assistance of one of the children, a being who first appears to be a girl child and can speak the [[Common Tongue]].{{Ref|ADWD|13}}

Bran and his companions discover a dwindling remnant of children live in the warded cavern. The caves are home to more than three score living singers and the bones of thousands dead, and extend far below the hollow hill. Bran and Meera give names to the children, since they cannot speak the [[True Tongue]]. Bran hears them sing sad songs in the True Tongue which he cannot understand, but their voices are as pure as the winter air. [[Leaf]], who saved the humans from the wights, explains that the children have not explored all of the caves, even though they have lived there for a thousand thousand man-years. {{Ref|ADWD|34}}
