Seeing this, Rayder grew increasingly anxious. He punched the invisible barrier in frustration, only to find it impossibly solid.
He could clearly feel the barrier yet could not see it—it was like striking air made of steel.
His emotions spiraled. He had flown this far without obstruction, only to be trapped at the last moment.
The Cold God was still behind him—if he failed to enter The Great Wall now, the consequences would be disastrous.
Rayder had no intention of dying here. He forced himself to think clearly.
A realization struck him:
The barrier wasn't random—it reacted to the ice magic inside his body.
Rayder looked down at The Great Wall beneath him and gave an immediate command:
> "Ghidorah, descend."
He also transmitted the command mentally to Im and Aegon.
The dragons folded their wings and dropped rapidly, scattering blizzards of snow as they landed.
But once Rayder reached the ground, he realized something alarming—the barrier existed on the ground as well.
He could not get within ten meters of The Wall.
It blocked only him, from every angle, like an invisible moat.

Night's Watch Panic
The sudden appearance of three enormous dragons caused chaos among the Night's Watch stationed on the wall.
The Wall had stood for thousands of years. No Wildling tribe had ever breached it.
But in front of three dragons, that ancient defense looked fragile.
Chief Ranger Tar was at a loss.
Ordinary soldiers could not stop dragons—their only option was to report this quickly.
He immediately dispatched men to Castle Black to alert Lord Commander Rosso Borrelli.

Rayder's Decision
After thinking it through, Rayder confirmed the truth:
The Wall rejects him because of the ice magic within his body.
He had two options:
1. Destroy The Great Wall.
2. Purge the ice magic from his body.
He chose the first without hesitation.
He ordered Ghidorah to attack.
Ghidorah opened all three jaws, unleashing converging golden lightning.
The blast struck The Wall like a falling star—ice and stone detonated outward.
To Rayder's surprise, it worked. A breach several meters wide appeared.
He tried crossing again, but the barrier still blocked him.
So he ordered Im and Aegon to join the assault.
The question of whether this would unleash the Others upon Westeros did not concern him.
> His own survival mattered more than the fate of millions.
Morality meant nothing in the face of death.

The Wall Begins to Fall
Three dragons launched their full assault—Dragon Flame, lightning, and raw physical force.
The ancient Wall trembled as if about to collapse.
Night's Watch rangers on the ramparts looked on in fear and despair.
Chief Ranger Tar roared:
> "You bastard! Order your dragons to stop!"
Rayder ignored him completely.
The dragons intensified their assault. Aegon and Im even rammed the wall physically as they breathed flame.
Within moments, a massive section collapsed—dozens of meters wide.
Instantly, Rayder felt the invisible barrier vanish.
He urged Ghidorah forward.
The dragon surged through the breach, entering past The Wall with ease.
Rayder finally crossed the barrier, free at last.
A confident, triumphant smile crossed his face.

The Wall Lies Broken
Now inside, Rayder did not flee or hide.
He sat atop Ghidorah, looking down at the ruined section of The Wall.
Once a symbol of eternal defense, it now lay shattered—like a fallen mountain, smoke and rubble spread across the snow.
A boundary that stood unbroken for millennia… destroyed under his command.
