    Summary

    Or; The Difference Between "With" and "For"

    Julian and Machungo on Earth-- what he writes about later, and what he does not.

    ---------

    “Maybe that’s why I feel so strange,” Julian said. “This place doesn’t need us— it would go on its own way without us here. We didn’t make any of it. The opposite of Iserlohn, I guess,” Julian said. He felt a sudden miserable crush of homesickness for Iserlohn. Yang was no longer there— he wasn’t even in the house he and Julian had shared on Heinessen anymore. “Iserlohn— you can really tell that it’s a place made for you. There’s nothing extraneous about it— it all just… functions.”

    “That’s true. It was made for people to live in.” But there was something in Machungo’s voice that caused Julian to turn towards him.

    “But?”

    “This place— weren’t we made to live in it?”

    “You don’t believe all that, do you?”

    “In what they say? No. Not the spiritual parts.”

    “Just the part where man can’t escape his destiny?”

    “That’s what I believe— I don’t think they do.” He paused. “They want to tell us that man can’t escape his past.”

    “But you think we can?”

    Summary

    “You’ve never been my gods and I don’t know that you’re real, but I don’t know that the seven are, either. If you’re still here, if you hear me, I swear to serve him all my life. Give me that, and I’ll ask nothing else.”

    The seven kingdoms love their Dragon Prince, but Jon loves Rhaegar Targaryen. He'd made peace with that, and he never expected that love to be returned. (And if he's right in that, history goes one way. If it is returned, however, history could go another. Or, in which one difference begun years before the tourney at Harrenhal doesn't quite change everything, but it just might change enough.)
