==Synopsis==
[[File:Blackbird.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Maester [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Aemon]] cries aboard the ''Blackbird''. Art by zippo514]]
[[Samwell Tarly|Sam]] is  trying his best to keep both [[Gilly]] and himself calm during the tumultuous sea trip to [[Braavos]]. The [[Night's Watch]] ship ''[[Blackbird]]'' will take them only so far as Braavos, and then Sam will need to find a tender there bound for [[Oldtown]]. Sam is hopeful that the others making the journey with him will find happiness when they reach their destination: Gilly and the [[Monster|babe]] at [[Horn Hill]], Maester [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Aemon]] back at the [[Citadel]], and [[Dareon]] in his new role as a recruiter. The old maester tells them the story of his sea trip to the Wall- how he traveled with Lord Commander [[Duncan the Tall]] as his honor guard, along with [[Brynden Rivers]], Lord Bloodraven himself, who was sent by [[Aegon V Targaryen|Egg]] to serve out the remainder of his life in the Watch.

As the trip progresses, Sam finds that nothing he says can console Gilly, and that Maester Aemon's health deteriorates. Dareon has nothing but scorn for the [[wildling]] girl, but Aemon tells Sam to look closely at the baby to find the source of Gilly's grief. When Sam realizes that the [[Aemon Steelsong|baby]] is actually [[Dalla]] and [[Mance Rayder]]'s, not her own, he can't believe what [[Jon Snow|Jon]] did. Maester Aemon states, "What threats the Lord Commander made, what promises, I can only guess." And while Sam understands that Jon did so to save the baby from [[Melisandre]]'s fires, he remains shocked at what cost this will have for Gilly.
