  • (..) You don't understand... The Lord brought you back... he brought me back... No one else, just us. Did he do it to watch us freeze to death? Careful, Beric, you've lost your priest. This is your last life. I've been waiting for the end for a long time. Maybe the Lord brought me here to find it. (..)
