Brandon'' the breaker'' stark was a young man of twenty and five years old and was the current king of winter and magnar of winterfell event though he was quite young he already establish himself as greath military leader and skill diplomat. It was that skill diplomacy that help him created an alliance with the king beyond the wall Joramund. And what gain him the nickname the breaker since he has done what no northern has done for centuries and that is make an alliance with the freefolk. He was currently watching as the combine army of northner, freefolk and giant finally breach the defence of the nightford. The alliance between northerner, freefolk and giant was not something that has happened since the end of the long night. But like they did during the long night they were able to put aside their difference to stop a common enemy.
Only this time it wasn't the other and their minion they were fighting but the order of the nightwatch this order was founded by his ancestor Brandon'' the builder'' after the end of the long night to guard the realm of men form the other. The current magnar commander of the nightwatch his own brother theon has gone rogue and proclaim himself the nightking while also taking a woman with skin as white as the moon and eyes like blue stars as his queen.
This wouldn't been a major problem if the woman was human but form what he read in his ancestor journal that chronicle his live during the time of the longnight. That the woman fit the description of an other. It was this reason that he join forces with his fellow king joramund the king beyond the wall to stop the nightking and the other from unleashing another longnight.
''I think it's time that we rejoin our army''. Joramund a man in his early forty and the current king beyond the wall said to him.
''aye''. Brandon said before ordering his horse to move toward the nightforth. After arriving in the courtyard of the nightforth and dismounting form his horse he order his men to kill the remaining night watch men and burn the dead. He then started walking toward the greath hall were his brother and the other was being held before their execution.
''brandon''. The nighking said went he notice he enter the greath hall form his position next to the other.
''theon''. Brandon said while locking at his brother for the first time in years. His brother look older than what a man at his age suppose to look at but it wasn't just his brother look that change but his eye that use to shine with compassion and bravery that help make him the youngest magnar commander of the nightwatch now shone with malieces and cruelty that help make him one of the most fear men in both the land beyond the wall and the land that was inside the border of the wall.
''look at us now brother two king an equal went I left winterfell I was but a spare a second son to be forgotten but now I'm king like you''. Theon said with madness shining in his eye
''your no king and your no brother of mine theon''. Brandon said with sadness in his voice since today he going to lose one of his last remaining family before he continue speaking ''bring the night king and the other to the godswood''. Brandon said to his men that was inside the room. His men noded at his order before dragging both the night king and the other to godswood so that they may be executed for their crime.
''I, brandon of the House Stark, the king of winter and magnar of Winterfell sentence you to die". Brandon said while taking out his sword, his sword was different form any sword that any man now wield since his sword was thiner and resemble a crystal. This sword isn't just an ordinary sword since the sword was a sword made by the other that his ancestor Brandon''the builder'' was able to take from the other after he defeath it.
The sword itself can do many thing that mortal sword can't do. It can shatter ordinary sword with ease, it was also are extremely sharp and was capable of moving through ringmail as if it is silk. The swords are alive with moonlight and have a faint blue glow to them When the sword touches a steel blade only a high thin sound similar to an animal screaming in pain can be heard instead of the sound of metal on metal. This was the ancestral sword of house stark and was name ice since it resemble an ice.
Brandon the swing the sword to his brother head and decapitated him. After executing his brother he order his men to bring him the other.
''you think this is the end stark my brother and sister will return once more and this time you won't stop us''. the other said with a voice that sounded like cracking ice on a winter lake.
''we stop them before we would stop them again''. Brandon said before he swing his sword to the other neck and decapitating it.
''burn the body''. Brandon said to his men who then noded at his order before starting to find firewood to created a pyre for the body.
Later that night the northerner, freefolk and giant was having a massive feast to celeberate their victory againt the night king and the other. But unlike the other people in the room brandon wasn't in the mood to celebrate their victory since he know that they only just won one battle and that the war hasn't been won. He was able to found out after reading his former brother record and journal that he has been sacrificing people to the other for their support went it was finally time for him to wage a war to conquer the entire land. This was something that terrified him since he thought that the woman that his former brother has taken as a wife was the last one of them since there haven't been any sighting of them since the final battle during the longnight.
This was a worst case scenario to him since if what his former brother has written was true than they still exist and was waiting for the right time to extract their vengeance to all living thing that fought againt's them during the longnight. It was this reason that after reading his brother record and journal he destroy them so that no one will ever try to do what his former brother did. He also order that his former brother name to be never spoken againt so that no one will know that his former brother was a stark so that their family name wouldn't be destroy by the action of his former brother.
''my magnar and clan leader of the freefolk and giant I would like to congratulated you for our victory againt the nightking and his minion''. Brandon said before waiting for the cheering and the applause to stop before continuing speaking ''but in the light of what we have discovered I don't belive that we have truly won''. Brandon said before stoping since many of them look confuse since in their mind they have already won.
''what do you mean king brandon haven't we defeated the nightking and the other''. One of the freefolk clan leader ask what many of the people in the room was thingking after his proclamation.
''it's true that we beaten them but after reading the journal and record of the nightking I have discovered that one of our worst nightmare still exist''. Brandon said
''imposible our ancestor wipe out almost of them during the battle for the dawn and the little survivor that exist was driven back to the hell that they come form''. One of the northern magnar said since if what king Brandon said was true than their worst enemy still exist and was waiting for their time to strike againt them. Most of the people in the room think that the nighking bride was the last one of them since there haven't been any sighting of them for hundreds of years. They think that the nightking bride was only doing what she did as an last act defiance before finally dying.
''it's true that we have wipe out most of them and the little survivor that exist during that time was driven back to the land of always winter, but we have also witness today that they still very much still existed and that they are waiting for the right time to strike again, for hundreds of years after the battle for the dawn and the end of the long night, we almost forgotten them their tale of cruelty and malieces has now become myth and legend and why wouldn't we forgotten them there haven't been any sighting of them until this time''. Brandon said before stoping to drink his ale before continuing speaking again.
''our ignorance has already couse us a war if we still remember them as the threat that they truly are we might able to stop the nightking before thousand of our people die in his hand that cannot happen again we lost the live of thousand of our people just by one of them what if all them attack us now and we all know than event after we die they can just reseructed us to fight for them, it was with that in mind that I offer the change for both the freefolk and the giant to move toward the south''. Brandon said.
Event though many of the northern magnar, the freefolk clan leader and the giant agree to the threat that the other posses. Many of them still disagreed with his proposition since in their mind event thought the other was the true enemy. Their still to much bad blood between all of them and many of them would rather die than join together.
''I know that there is still many bad blood among ourself and I don't believe that we would truly be able to forget it and I'm not asking you to do it I wouldn't forget any of my men and family that die by your hand but I am asking you to put that aside, we need to band together to hope to beat the other we cannot fight them by ourself only united can we hope to beat them ''. Brandon said before stopping to drink his ale while also to see the reaction of the people of the room. Most of them seem to agree to what his saying event some of the northern magnar that hated the freefolk like the umber seem to agree to what he was saying event thought they still look reluctant of it.
''you all answear the call went my ancestor brandon'' the builder'' ask of you to join him for the last battle of the longnight the battle that would deteminant the faith of this world the battle for the dawn by placing your trust in him he lead you to victory and avoid uttered annihilation, I'm asking you to do it again it was us that bleed during the long night the south only came went winter has already knock on their door we who build the wall and protect the realm of men while the south play their game of thrones''. Brandon said to the people inside the room who all seem quite emotional form his speech.
''for years we have been fighting against each other for what : more food and weapon my ancestor brandon''the builder'' wrote in his journal that the only difference between us is where on the side of the wall we were born in if we united we can change that you don't need to steel or kill other for food, shelter, cloth, and weapon, if you join me I will give you food and shelter, I swear it by the the god of the stream, forest, and stone and by the fist of winter''. Brandon said before droping a massive warhammer in the table.
Shock then started to spread among the clan leader and northerner. The fist of winter was a massive bronze warhammer that was covered with many rune. This was one of the weapon that his ancestor Brandon ''the builder'' use during his fight againt the other and the weapon that help him built the wall. The fist of winter was gifted to Brandon''the builder'' by the children of the forest after he ask for their assistance to fight againt the other.
''what the wolf said is the truth if we don't united the other will eventually come to us, the stark has given us a change to change our way of life what he proposed to us is fair the other king in the north will never give us a change like this the Bolton would likely flay us before helping us the Barrowking in their arrogance would never event think about us and if we went south they probably kill us first before asking question you choose me as your king becouse you believe I could give our people a better life''. Joramund said with passion in his voice before taking out his sword and pointing it to Brandon.
''and I have found it and event if I have to kneel I would do it a good king would always put the need of the people before his own my sword is yours stark in victory and defeath''. Joramund said before kneeling in front of Brandon.
''the thenns remember it was the stark that help us win againt the other they could just leave us to die in our land like the other king in the north and southerner do but they don't they came to our land and help us fight back the other what joramund said is the truth we would not get a fairer deal than this, my people is yours to command stark, the king of winter and the king in the north''. The magnar of thenns a bald man in his thirty said while shouting the last part and then kneeling in front of Brandon.
The other clan leader of the freefolk, northerner and giant then join the declaration by shouting king of winter and the north and kneeling in front of him. History will say that this day was the first steep of the stark conquest of the north and the foundation of what would be one of the most powerfull empire in the world.
