JON SNOW

Jon couldn't believe that he saw his brother, Robb Stark. Robb Stark was alive. Robb Stark was breathing and he standing just in front of him and he was smiling.

Jon walked over towards Robb grabbed his hand and pulled him for a strong brotherly embrace. Robb was surprised by his brother's action, but returned the hug. During the embrace Robb shot Arya a look of confusion and simply shrugged her shoulders because she was also bewildered by Jon's sudden strange behavior.

"It is good to see you again, brother," Jon muttered as he breathed out, trying to bottle his emotions as he broke apart from the embrace.

"Aye, Jon, it is good to you as well."

After the embrace was over Jon gasped when he saw his little sister, Arya, standing behind Robb. He quickly made his way to her and but his hands on her face. 'She is really here' he thought to himself as he fell to his knees and pulled her into his arms. He could still remember having burn her body, so she could finally rest in peace after she had turned into a wight; 'I had no choice but to destroy her mindless body in order to save my Rhaegar,' he reassured himself. He pushed the horrible memories out of mind and willed the tears not to fall as he choked out, "Seven Hells, Arya! It is so good to see you breathing again!"

Arya quirked an eyebrow in confusion as she looked her brother in the eyes and asked, "Jon, why did you say you were glad to see me breathing again?"

Jon did not want to tell them until he had had a chance to talk to his Uncle Ned. His uncle had to be the first on to know the truth about everything that would happen in the future if things did not change and he had to inform him about the threat beyond the Wall. He did not want to answer her question so he pretended like she had never asked. So he changed the subject and asked, "Where are Bran, Sansa and Rickon?" He was glad to know that all of his siblings were alive, however he needed to see them talking and breathing to reassure himself that The Three-Eyed Raven and the Red Witch were in fact successful in sending him back to past.

Robb chuckled and said, "Well Sansa is busy completing her lessons with Septa Mordane, Bran is learning more about the great houses of Westeros with Maester Luwin and Rickon is not feeling well so he is in his chambers with my mother who is taking care of him."

Jon nodded at Robb's reply. He really was not looking forward to being calling 'bastard' from Lady Stark again and the thought of being polite to her made the acid in his stomach rise. He shook the thought from his spinning mind once again and asked, "And where is un-farther?" Jon was looking at them hoping that they did not hear him almost call Lord Stark uncle and thankfully, to his surprise, they didn't seem to notice.

"Father is in his study, writing letters to the noble houses," Arya said as she smiled up to him.

Jon wanted to go straight to his Uncle Ned's study and tell him everything he had lived through and how they had all suffered in his last life. Then after he told his uncle the truth he needed to go across the Narrow Sea and find Daenerys; he had to save her from her from Viserys and Khal Drogo. However, Jon knew he could not leave for Pentos just yet. Bran said he had to wait and rest in Winterfell for five days after he returned to the past. The Three-Eyed-Raven said that he should not leave until he had attended the execution of the Nights Watch deserter, who claimed that he had seen the White Walkers, and found the direwolf pups in the Wolfswood. Jon was brought out of his brooding thoughts when Robb's voice broke the silence.

"Jon, Arya and I came to your chambers to see if you care to join us in the Great Hall to break your fast?"

"Mother won't be there to glare at you," Arya quickly added.

Jon wanted nothing more than so sit down and break his fast with his siblings but knew that sharing a meal with those he lost was not the reason he was given a second chance in the fight against the White Walkers. "Thank you, Arya and Robb, for your offer, but unfortunately I think I may have caught Rickon's sickness. I am feeling a little queasy… Maybe we can we may be we can share a meal at another time? I… I am going to rest in my chambers for the day."

He waited for Robb and Arya to answer and after a few seconds finally Robb answered with a hesitant smile, "Of course brother, take all the time you need. I hope that you recover quickly."

Jon nodded and wordlessly turned walked back into his chambers, closed the door and bolted it shut behind him. He waited behind his closed door until he was certain that Robb and Arya had left the hallway. After he was sure they had left he took his black fur lined cloak from his bed, donned it and left his chambers. He closed the door and immediately headed towards his uncle's study.

As he walked towards his uncle study he brooded over the thoughts in his head, 'What will I ask him? How will I start this conversation? What will I tell him?' When he reached the study door he was deep in thought. He sighed deeply and waited several moments before he finally lifted his hand, clinched it closed and knocked on the door three times.

"Come in." He heard his uncle call.

Jon took a deep breath as he pushed the door open. When he entered the room he saw that the man he had always considered to he his father, his Uncle Ned was still sitting at his great wooden desk writing letters. He pushed the door closed and bolted it shut, as he did this his uncle looked at him, put down his quill and waited for Jon to speak.

He was speechless… He stood before his dead uncle, who was now alive… He had so much so say and he could not get the words out of his throat. He just stood there and stared.

After several moments of silence his uncle spoke, "Jon, did you wish to ask me something?"

Jon didn't know what to say but he guessed he should probably start with the question the old Jon would always ask when he was a young child, but never received the answer to… the same one he finally found enough courage to ask as he left for the Nights Watch… the last time he saw his uncle alive. He took a deep breath then asked as calmly as he could, "Lord Stark, who was my mother?"

He could tell by the look on his uncle's face that he was surprised by the question, and was also surprised that he had called him Lord Stark because he would always call him Father when they where alone.

"Jon, Lady Catelyn is not here… you know you can call me Father," Ned said softly.

Jon could feel his anger rising. He was angry that his uncle was lying to him. "Are you ever going to stop lying to me in my face? Are you tell me the truth?" Jon stated in a tone mixed with both anger as well as sadness.

"I'm not lying Jon," he watched as his uncle took a deep breath, then asked, "Why would you think that, my son?" asked Ned curiously.

Jon felt as though his blood was boiling, he was furious as he seethed out, "I know you are not my father… I know that you did not sire me, Eddard Stark!"

He could tell his Uncle was surprised. He sat there silently for a few minutes before he finally, breathlessly asked, "What do you mean, Jon?"

"I know the truth about my mother… I know who she was and why you claimed me as your bastard son." He took a deep calming breath before he continued, "My mother was your younger sister, Lyanna Stark… and my father, the man who sired me was her husband, Rhaegar Targaryen… and I am was not born Jon Snow… I am their true born son, the heir to the Iron Throne… With my mother's last breaths she named me Aegon Targaryen, and she placed me in your arms, begging that you protect me… Does this ring any bells?"

Jon watched as his uncle's eyes opened wide and has his breathing became quick and shallow. He finally whisper angrily, "Who told you that?"

"That's not important for you to know at the moment… The thing that is important at this time is that you would have just kept lying to me… Lying to me and everyone else… Not ever telling your wife… Never even telling the truth in the moments before you found your death when Joffrey Baratheon ordered you beheaded." Jon was furious; he did not even think as the words spilled out of his mouth and he did not even care.

When he saw the look on Ned's face he could tell he was confused and did not understand what he had said when he asked, "Beheaded by Prince Joffrey what do you mean, Jon?"

Jon knew he would have told him eventually. He exhaled as he relented and said, "You wanted to know how I knew my parentage… I know who my parents are because I am not the Jon you know but the Jon from the future."

The look of confusion on his uncle's face did not subside. "Jon from the future… What do you mean?"

After Ned has asked him this Jon told him everything. He told him how he went to North Castle Black with Uncle Benjen to join the Nights Watch as he went south to become Hand of the King after the death of Jon Arryn. He told Ned about his death, King Robert's death, Robb and Catelyn's deaths, and Rickon's. He also told him about Uncle Benjen's disappearance and about he was betrayed by and murdered by the hands of his brothers at the Nights Watch. He told Ned about Bran's fall and how he went beyond the Wall and became a powerful greenseer called the Three-Eyed Raven. He told his Uncle everything the he knew about the past and everything that he had learned from he joined the Nights Watch until he was sent back to set everything right. He could tell that his Uncle Ned was surprised and heartbroken for him when he spoke about the deaths his of wife, Daenerys and son, Rhaegar as well as what became of the people of Westeros.

After Jon told his uncle everything they sat in silence for several minutes while he let all of the knowledge absorb. Finally, after a few minutes he broke the silence, "Uncle Ned, I know what I just have told you sounds crazy but it's the truth… I can understand if you don't believe me," Jon said quietly and then he waited until his uncle would say something.

After a few more minutes of silence his Uncle looked over at him, and he noticed that he was willing tears not to fall to fall as he softly spoke, "I believe you, Jon… After what you told me… About how you knew everything that happened at the Tower of Joy… how you knew your mother's last words to me were 'promise me Ned, promise me.' Jon, I never told anyone those words… Not even told Howland Reed was there to hear her last words. Yet Jon, you know them."

"Uncle Ned, I have a plan, and it will start in five days… When Ser Rodrick will inform you that a deserter of the Nights Watch has been captured. The deserter will use his last words to tell you that the reason he ran was because he has seen the White Walkers beyond the Wall… After the execution we will travel back to Winterfell through the Wolfswood and that is when we will find the six direwolf pups… Then, after we find the pups I will leave you and sail for Pentos."

"Jon, why would you go to Pentos?" Ned asked curiously as he raised an eyebrow.

"The reason I must to get to Pentos is to save Daenerys… I need to get to her before she is sold to Khal Drogo by her brother, Viserys. If she is sold the Khal will rape her because of his savage ways… I cannot let that happen to her again!" Jon was getting furious, he could feel the calmness of his wolf's blood fading as his dragon blood began to boil. He vowed to himself that he would kill Drogo before he rape or even touch her and that he would also kill Viserys for the way he treated and sold Daenerys to that savage horse lord. "Uncle Ned, I am going to need a few Northern men when I leave for Pentos." Jon knew after all the information he gave is Uncle Ned about the future he knew they needed Daenerys in the great war.

"Jon, how many men do you need for this quest of yours?"

Jon smiled as he answered, "I do not want to attract too many eyes in Pentos… Therefore, nine strong bannermen should be enough."

Ned nodded and said, "I will send a raven for White Harbor. Lord Manderly will provide you with the men… Jon, I have heard that Khal Drogo is a strong warrior… I have heard he is the strongest of all Dothraki Khals, and that he is the Khal of the largest Khalasar."

Jon smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle Ned, but I will be fine… There is one more thing I wanted to ask you…" Jon stood up, took a deep breath and looked at his uncle in the eyes. He got ready to speak, but his Uncle spoke first.

"You do not want me to tell Arya and the others that you are leaving for good." Jon could see Ned was sad when he said this.

"Aye, that is right… There is nothing for me here in Winterfell. Uncle Ned, I need for you to tell them of the future… but not after I have left… If I tell them before I go they will try to stop me or they will demand to come with me."

"Aye," Ned took a deep breath and walked over to him, he placed a hand on his should and said, "Son, there is something I need to give to you before you leave… We need to go to the crypts."

Jon nodded and followed his Uncle. When they entered the crypts, he was unsure why his uncle wanted to take him to the crypts. He knew that his mother was in there, but she was Stark. He was hesitant to enter. 'I am not a Stark, I do not belong here' he thought to himself.

"Jon come here." His Uncle called, pulling him from his thoughts.

Jon walked towards where his Uncle Ned had stopped, noticing that it was in front of his mother's tomb. He looked as his mother's stone likeness as his Uncle opened a door that was hidden behind his mother's statue. Jon was surprised at what he saw… there were two Valyrian steel swords. He looked at his Uncle in shock and unable to speak.

Uncle Ned looked at him and smiled as he said, "The valyrian sword on the left is called Dark Sister, it is a sword that has been in your family since before Aegon and his sister wives conquered Westeros… Rumor has it that your Father, Rhaegar went beyond the wall and found it in a cave before Robert's Rebellion. I found it in the tower where you were born." The Valyrian steel sword was beautiful, it had the same smoky grey appearance as Longclaw and Ice, and it had a dragon carved on to its hilt.

Ned looked at the right sword "The other Valyrian steel sword belonged to Ser Arthur Dayne. He had two Valyrian Steel swords. I took one of swords and I gave the other sword to Howland Reed. I had the hilt of this sword changed from the Falling Star of House Dayne to a direwolf for House Stark. I named the sword Winters Wolf… And both of them are now yours. You will need both swords to fight against Khal Drogo… as you said, in the future you trained with and were able to fight with two swords just like Ser Arthur Dayne."

Jon looked at him and smiled, "Thank you, Uncle Ned." Ned nodded.

After Ned has given Jon the swords holders he left the crypts leaving Jon alone. He took the two swords from the holder and sheathed them in their scabbards and attached them to the special sword belt that was in the hidden chamber. After both swords were secured and strapped to him he covered them with his cloak and left the darkness of the crypts...
