[Robb has been asleep for the better part of seven days. He'd been stitched up and left to rest, with Grey Wind ever faithfully guarding his bed while he slept. In between bouts of wakefulness, Carson would try to explain this place to him. They were in a castle that's like no other castle he's ever heard of, and it grants wishes only to take other things away. It very possibly brought him back from the dead.

Upon waking up this morning, he realized he was no longer so drowsy, and he was more alert than he'd been since he'd arrived. Finally, it was time to get answers to the questions he needed and dreaded. He wasn't yet strong enough to write for any length of time, but Carson had mentioned he could talk to the journal and it would find its way to people's ears. So he did.]

I was told this castle brings into it people of many worlds. If we are, in fact, so many then there's a possibility that there's other people from my world as well. I come from the Seven Kingdoms of Westoros; if it is familiar to you then please respond. I have...questions of great importance to ask.

From what little I know this entire realm seems complicated.

Reach? What is it like there?

That's complicated, too.

[And a topic he doesn't like to discuss.]

What isn't complicated for you?

Perhaps your name would be a simpler place to begin?

[A smirk under the helmet, hidden by the journal.]

Chief Warrant Officer SPARTAN-052 [Noble Five], UNSC SPECWAR Team 3.

[A pause.]

Jorge, if it's easier.

[There's a moment's pause as that sinks in.]

Jorge, then. I'm Robb Stark.

Pleasure.

[Yep, totally screwing with you.]

I take it you're new around here. You'll find that things may be a lot different from where you were.

I have discovered that, yes. I was told this is a castle of magic as well.

I wouldn't say magic as a certainty, but it's definately something we don't understand.

What would you say it is then?

I don't know. I'm a soldier, not a scientist. I wouldn't know where to begin.

So this place will simply remain shroud in mystery. The Maesters of my world would have a time studying this castle.

The castle makes things difficult when people get close to discovering stuff about it. Things go wrong with their research.

It's why we've had people here for about five years with no progress.

Five years...surely there must be a purpose in keeping us for so long.

If there is, we don't know it. Plenty of rumours running around, though.

What rumors might those be?

Stuff like the castle getting power from keeping people in it.

But they're just rumours.

That seems...quite ominous.

Tell me about it. I don't like it at all.
