“The water’s icing up,” Qhorin observed as he turned aside, “Else we’d ride in the streambed. But if we break the ice, they are like to see. Keep close to the cliffs. There’s a crook1 a half mile on that will hide us.” He rode into the defile2. Jon gave one last wistful look to their distant fire, and followed. The farther in they went, the closer the cliffs pressed to either side. They followed the moonlit ribbon of stream back toward its source.

He did not think they would last long afoot. “Quickly now,” the Halfhand commanded. The big man on the small horse rode over the ice-slick stones, right into the curtain of water, and vanished. When he did not reappear, Jon put his heels into his horse and went after. His garron did his best to shy away. The falling water slapped at them with frozen fists, and the shock of the cold seemed to stop Jon’s breath. Then he was through; drenched5 and shivering, but through. The cleft6 in the rock was barely large enough for man and horse to pass, but beyond, the walls opened up and the floor turned to soft sand. Jon could feel the spray freezing in his beard. Ghost burst through the waterfall in an angry rush, shook droplets7 from his fur, sniffed
