The Night's watch was an order founded to protect the Seven kingdoms, and the Realms of men, against the Darkness and the creatures of the frozen north.

Matthew was stationed, at the new Headquarters for the Order. Castle Black and the Routine of training every frozen morning and night, then doing their duties, as Rangers or Glorified scouts, while freezing half to death would eventually wear a toll on anyone.

True, the sight was breathtaking atop the Wall. Finally, Matthew was sick of seeing the unmoving, landscape in the rays of the sun, while being blasted in the face by snow, and wind, thinking seeing the far north in the moonlight, would change his attitude as the thoughts of Deserton reared into his mind again.

Shaking to clear the treasonous thoughts from his head. He came back when the moon rose only to see the dead attacking the wall.

The rest of that night was a blur. The most that he could remember was the feeling of battle Fatigue. And his body going into overtime to keep him alive slicing and killing already dead men and women some so Decomposed that they were just skeletons

After fighting like a cornered wilded animal, the dead didn't stop they just kept coming. Seeing that this was the end he accepted his fate and decided to die by their rotting hands.

Until he awoke alive and in a strange unknown land to the ranger.

Will this watcher on the wall keep to his Vows?
And protect the unknown Realms? And keep being the sword in the Darkness? With no Night's watch existing anymore? Who's to say he can't alter the Vow's?

His vows will be heavily tested in this strange and unknown land for the last ranger from the wall.
