         IT HAD NOT BEEN HER CHOICE to reverse death itself  &  pull jon snow back from the darkness that had taken him. melisandre did nothing of her own accord. she was but a servant to her god,  &  r’hllor’s will was absolute. & unlike oft before, this time, his wishes had been undeniable. in life or death, the bastard boy was little more than his tool ( as were they all ), but it seemed that the lord of light had determined that jon snow served his purpose better alive.  or rather, reborn.  she held a torch high aloft as she made for his chamber, its flames lashing out to chase the shadows back into the corners where they belonged. it was the only weapon she carried; the only one she needed.                                                                  when she reached the door, she rapped her knuckles on the wood to warn him of her presence before she entered. but when she saw the boy, her breath caught in her throat, her ruby necklace growing warm against her pulse. only days ago he had been a corpse, pale  &  stiff  &  cold to the touch. but now his eyes were alert  &  bright  &  trained carefully on her as she entered the room. such was the power of r’hllor. this was his work,  & it never failed to bring her a sense of awe.

                   ❝  you’re looking well, jon snow. ❞  she greeted him with a warm smile, red lips curling upward at the corners as her curious scarlet eyes regard him closely.  ❝  how are your wounds healing ? ❞
