283 AC
Ser Gerold Hightower was left in Tower of Joy along with five soldiers to protect Lyanna Stark, the second wife of Rhaegar Targaryen.
In the Trident, a day before the battle Rhaegar sends a letter to Ned Stark in hopes that they could talk but Ned Stark burned the letter and not believing that Rhaegar Targaryen wanted to talk.
So the Battle of The Trident started, many people died and Ser Barristan was injured during the battle, many royal banners of both armies were killed during the battle but the battle ended when Robert Baratheon start fighting Ser Arthur Dayne.
Robert was known as a very good warrior but Ser Arthur was much faster, in a failed swing of his hammer, Ser Arthur was quick to thrust his sword 'Dawn' in Robert's throat.
Robert Baratheon died in the battle against Ser Arthur, then the rebellion army surrendered quickly and bend the knee to Rhaegar Targaryen.
A day after the battle Rhaegar meet with Lord Eddard Stark, Jon Arryn, and Hoster Tully and explained that Lyanna Stark was never kidnapped or raped.
Lord Stark didn't believe him but he had no other choice.
The army starts marching towards King's Landing, when they reached the city, they found Lannister Army outside the gates of Kings Landing.
Rhaegar knew why Tywin was there, why he waited. Tywin Lannister claimed that he was there to swore to Rhaegar but he knew that was a lie.
When they entered the city, Rhaegar quickly went to The Red Keep along with Lord Stark and his Kingsguard except for Ser Barristan who was still injured, and Ser Jaime Lannister.
He checked on Elia and their children and found them safe.
When they reached the Throne Room, Rhaegar was shocked to find his father dead on the ground and Ser Jaime sitting on The Iron Throne.
They put him in the dungeons but Rhaegar knew there must be a reason why Ser Jaime killed his father.
Rhaegar was quick to send Lord Stark to bring back Lyanna and their unborn daughter or boy.
He didn't know why but he didn't feel grief for his father's death, maybe he was even happy.
Three Days after reaching Kings Landing, there was a trial for Jaime Lannister.
"Ser Jaime Lannister you're accused of killing King Aerys II Targaryen and breaking your oath as a kingsguard, how do you answer these charges," the man asked Ser Jaime who didn't look regretful.
The KingSlayer as people start calling him looks at his king "I'm guilty your grace, I killed Aerys Targaryen by stabbing him in the back snd then I cut his throat" Ser Jaime answered quickly and not feeling guilty for what he did.
Rhaegar wasn't surprised by his confession, he noticed the look of disgust in all his Kings Guard faces "Why did you do it?" Rhaegar asked, he had visited him in the dungeons and asked him but he didn't answer.
He hoped that now he would confess, Ser Jaime sighs heavily and look directly into King's eye.
Rhaegar noticed Ser Jaime murmured something under his breath "I didn't hear you" Rhaegar said, "Burn them All" Ser Jaime said with a quiet tone.
"What?" Rhaegar asked harshly.
"Burn Them All" Ser Jaime said louder for everyone to hear, "That's what your father wanted to do, your grace, he ordered The Wildfire under the city to be ignited, and burn everything," Ser Jaime said looking down on the ground.
Everyone gasped in the hall even the king, Rhaegar knew that his father was mad but what his father wanted to do was just something he never thought, he then knew Ser Jaime did the right thing.
He cleared his throat to get everyone's attention "Ser Jaime Lannister you're guilty of Killing Aerys II Targaryen but you saved The Entire population of Kings Landing when you killed him, you're No King Slayer you're a hero of the realm, for that You will not be executed or send to The Wall, you're from The Kings Guard" Rhaegar said seriously taking a lot of surprises faces even from his friend Arthur.
But Ser Jaime shook his head still looking at the ground "I'm grateful your grace but I want to remain as Kings Guard" he said with a loud tone.
He noticed his king guard shooking their heads, and Tywin had a look of fury on his face.
Rhaegar looks at Elia who was sitting at his right, she smiled and nodded in agreement.
Rhaegar then looks at Ser Jaime who was near breakdown, "I accept Ser Jaime Lannister, kneel" Rhaegar said with a tone which left no place for arguments.
Ser Jaime was quick to bend the knee "Ser Jaime, you're forgiven for killing my father Aerys II Targaryen, Rise as King Guard" Rhaegar said and Ser Jaime gets up with a genuine smile on his face.
Rhaegar looks at Tywin Lannister who was furious and his face red as blood, Ser Arthur seemed to have noticed it too because his hand was on the hilt of the sword.
Tywin didn't do anything but storm out of the hall.
Tomorrow Rhaegar Targaryen then sends Ser Jaime to DragonStone to retrieve his mother, brother, and her unborn child. Jaime Lannister was very happy to do it and obeyed with a smile.
Then the time came to judge the lords who rebelled, Rhaegar forgives Jon Arryn for raising his banners against his mad father, but when came to The Riverlands, Rhaegar revealed that His wife Lyanna Stark had sent a letter to reach Hoster Tully which explained everything, during that time Brandon Stark was in Riverlands to marry Catelyn Tully.
Hoster Tully was quick to say that he never got such a letter, Rhaegar couldn't do anything but he still could punish them for raising their banners despite having no reason to do.
Hoster Tully was executed for treason because he refused to be sent to the wall.
Blackfish was to rule Riverlands until Edmurd Tully comes of age.
Then it was Stannis Baratheon, Rhaegar forgives him for fighting against him and Stannis Baratheon ruled Stormlands.
When it came to House Tyrell, Elia suggested putting House Tarly as lord of The Reach but Rhaegar didn't want to create more enemies than he already had, he wanted peace.
Instead, Mace Tyrell was brought to the capital to swear for the New King and Queen.
After two months, Lord Stark finally returned, Rhaegar and Elia were very happy to see Lyanna again and their new child.
Rhaegar was waiting and saw lord Stark but he saw no Lyanna, his heart was beating very fast hoping that his biggest fear wouldn't come true.
Lord Stark came to him with a cold face alone "I'm sorry but Lyanna is dead and so is her daughter, she was stillborn" Lord Stark said coldly and Rhaegar's heart shattered in pieces, he couldn't believe that happened.
Before he knew it, he was crying, he didn't care that there were other people there, he falls in his knees tears rolling down his cheek, Elia was quick to help him, she had tears in her eyes but was trying to be strong.
That day Rhaegar locked himself in his bed chamber and cried until he could no longer cry, Elia was there with him all the time, she tried to be strong with him but she cried too.
After two days, Lord Stark swore to Rhaegar, he said that Ser Gerold thought they were enemies, that Lord Stark was still loyal to Robert, Rhaegar forgives him for raising his banners, Lord Stark told them that he had a bastard son named Jon Snow.
Lord Stark kept the child in his room and some nurses of the red keep took care of him.
Rhaegar didn't look at the kid and knew Lord Stark had lost almost all of his family and deserved peace.
Lord Stark only stayed for 3 days and left almost in a hurry, Lord Stark took the bones of Lyanna to bury her in Winterfell, and Rhaegar agreed.
Rhaegar hated himself, he hated for being obsessed with prophecies, he blamed himself for Lyanna's death.
He chooses Jon Connington as Hand of The King. Stannis Baratheon as Master of ships, Oberyn Martell master of laws, despite not trusting him, he kept Varys as master of Whispers. Rhaegar decided to stop the marriage of brothers with sisters.
After 1 month since Lord Stark left, Rhaegar decided for Elia to be in the small council too.
Rhaegar let Elia decide for the master of coins, and she choose Mace Tyrell, leaving House Lannister outside of The Capital.
Rhaegar decided to never trust House Lannister again and the rumors that spread that Tywin Lannister had ordered some of his men to kill Elia and the royal children if Robert won, made Rhaegar and Elia hate them even more.
After a month, his mother returned with Viserys and his new sister Daenerys Targaryen, Rhaegar was very happy to have a new sister but every time he looked at his sister, his mind would go to Lyanna and their daughter that he will never know.
Jon Snow - 288 AC
He was playing with his brother Robb, they were fighting with swords made of wood.
Since Jon could remember himself, the people of Winterfell always looked at him with cold looks like he did something terrible, Jon didn't know why and often would ask Master Luwin or his father what he did, Master Luwin would always tell him that he did nothing and his father would just look at him and saying the same but with an emotionless tone.
Jon didn't know why but the one who looked to not like him the most was Lady Stark, he was Robb's mother and Jon was sure she was his mother too but always thinking that he did something to make her not like him, he never called her mother, her cold glares would always stop him from doing it.
He had asked Robb but he didn't know if Jon ever did something wrong.
Jon swings at Robb who blocked him, they were in the training yard and Ser Rodrik was looking at them, Robb swing towards his legs but Jon moves to the right and hits him in the shoulder.
"Enough" they heard the booming voice of Ser Rodrik, who gave a smile to Jon and he quickly returned the smile. Robb looked angry that they stopped, "We continue tomorrow boys" Ser Rodrik said with a kind tone noticing the angry look of Robb.
Robb gives the wooden sword to Jon who puts them back to their place, as he was trying to put them down he heard "Robb come" he heard the voice of their mother, he quickly drops the sword in the ground and chases after Robb who went to his mother, Robb took her hand and were walking away leaving him, Jon runs to them "Mother" he shouted and he didn't understand very well what happened but he was on the ground, his left cheek on fire, he felt pain in his head too, his hand went to touch where it was hurting and there was blood in his fingers.
He looks up to Robb who was looking in the opposite direction and Lady Stark looking at him furious "I'm not your mother you bastard" he heard her yell at him.
Jon had heard that word before, he had heard guards and servants calling him that when they thought he couldn't hear them.
Lady Stark then starts walking away holding Robb's hand.
Jon started crying from the pain in his face and head, he saw Ser Rodrik walking to him "Be quiet Master Luwin will look at you" he said quietly touching his head where it hurt.
He grabs him and holds him in his arms and walks to Master Luwin, he opens the door, "Master look at Jon's head" Ser Rodrik said with a concerned tone.
Master Luwin nodded and points to a chair with his finger, Ser Rodrik helps Jon to the chair and the master looks at his head "Is nothing my boy, some wine and you should be good as new" Master Luwin said trying to make him feel better but Jon knew he wasn't telling the truth.
Master Luwin used wine in his wound and after some time, Jon returned to his chamber, which was very far from his father's chamber, or Robb's chamber.
Jon's cheek was still hurting like it was burning but all he could think was what Lady Stark told him.
"I'm not your mother you bastard"
Jon felt tears in his eyes again, why nobody loved me, what had he done to not be loved.
Jon thought to himself, he jumps on his bed and starts crying and sobbing loudly.
"If she's not my mother then who is," Jon said crying out loud.
After hours of staying in his bed crying, he falls asleep.
' He was alone in his room and was very cold, he felt like he was going to freeze, there was no fire burning in the fireplace and he couldn't stop shaking, his mouth couldn't stop moving and he felt like he was going to shatter his teeth.
Jon then sees the door opening and inside comes a woman with long dark hair, she's very beautiful Jon thought.
She sits close to him and smiles at him "Hello my little pup" she said quietly kissing his left cheek.
"Are you my mother?" Jon asked tearfully, she nodded and puts her hand on his left cheek "Remember that I love you" she said quietly with a voice full of love that warmed Jon's heart.
"Can you stay here with me?" He asked burying his face on her shoulder, "I will be back" he heard her say but he quickly shook his head.
"No please stay here I need you," he said tears already rolling down his cheek.
His mother looked about to cry "I will come again" she said.
"Let me come with you then, I don't care where you will go just please let me come with you," he said crying even more.
She kisses his cheek again "I love you my little pup" she said and everything went dark "Mother" Jon screamed '
He wakes up and he looks around but doesn't see her anywhere, he starts hitting his pillow in frustration and crying.
Tomorrow his father visited him, he opens the door "You alright Jon?" His father asked with a concerned look on his face but his tone was still emotionless.
Jon just looks at him, he sees him walking closer to him and looking at his face and then his head "Master Luwin said you need to stay in bed and not move much for a week" his father said quietly looking at his face.
Jon just keeps staring at nothing in particular.
"Jon" his father called him again, Jon looks at him "Who is my mother?" Jon asked quietly.
His father takes a step back "Jon" but Jon interrupted him "Who Is My MOTHER?" Jon yelled at him.
Jon could see guilt in his father's eyes but he quickly removes it, "I will tell you when the time is right" his father said with a tired voice.
"Why not now?" He asked again more determinedly, his father gets up and puts his lord mask "Jon when the time is right" his father answered raising his tone.
Jon just nodded and lays on his bed again, Jon hears his father walks away to the door and closes the door leaving him alone.
289 AC
Jon was sparing against Ser Rodrik, they were still sparing against him, Jon and Robb, Jon would be allowed to follow only some of the lessons of Master Luwin, during his free time, they would get him to work around the castle, clean stables and other stuff like that.
Jon never told anyone but during his free time, he would spar alone in God's Wood, no one had caught him yet sparing at least he believed.
Since Lady Stark had slapped him in the face, they hardly ever looked at each other and his father was better but still, he could see his father never looked at him with the same look as he looked, Robb or Sansa.
His father always looked at him with a sad look, Jon couldn't understand why and his father would not tell him.
Since that day Jon had asked his father almost every day who was his mother but no response.
6 months ago, Brother of Lady Stark married Cersei Lannister, His father, and Lady Stark went to Riverrun but didn't take anyone else despite all the protests of Robb who wanted to see King Rhaegar Targaryen The Good as people called him.
Jon had noticed the look of anger on his father's face whenever the king was mentioned.
Robb would often ask their father questions about the rebellion and his brother and sister and grandfather.
His father would always talk about Robert Baratheon, he called him a very good friend, who started a war for his sister Lyanna Stark.
His father said that Brandon was a good man and would have been a good lord but when came to Aunt Lyanna, he would barely ever talk about her.
He found that strange but Jon thought that it was too hard to talk about her.
He swings his sword at Ser Rodrik who blocked it and swing at him, Jon quickly dodges it and hits Ser Rodrik for the first time in the chest "YES" Jon screamed in happiness.
"Very good Jon," Ser Rodrik said smiling, Jon then looks at Robb walking towards them with a sparring sword.
"Time for a real fight," Robb said with a cocky smile.
Jon looks up and notices his father and Lady Catelyn looking.
He walks away and watches as Robb swings at Ser Rodrik like a headless chicken, it didn't take long and Robb was on the ground without hitting Ser Rodrik.
"Again," Robb said determined and looking angrier.
This time was even easier for Ser Rodrik to kick his butt.
"Again," Robb said and this time attacks immediately but Ser Rodrik blocks him and kicks him behind his legs and Robb falls.
Jon decided to walk away from the fight.
After spending the day doing work, he went To the Great Hall to eat, he reaches the hall and sits close to Robb who started talking to him about fighting and how to defeat Ser Rodrik.
Sansa was with Lady Catelyn, talking about ladies.
Jon grabs the fork and eats a piece of meat and almost throw up, how salty it was.
Jon barely swallows it and drinks water, he looks at the food and decides to eat bread, but the bread was salty too.
Jon takes a glance at Lady Stark and notices her looking at him with a little smile. Jon understood what was happening.
He knew it would be pointless to try and eat it, he gets up and leaves the hall without eating despite Robb calling him.
That went for a week and since that day Jon never tried to look that he's better than Robb.
Always letting him look smarter than him and never look like he was a better fighter.
Ser Rodrik asked him the third day why he was fighting like that.
"Is better this way"
Jon answered quietly.
He hasn't seen his mother again since last year, sometimes he wondered if he had gone mad but a part of him knew she was his mother.
Jon hasn't told anyone about her.
2 Months Later
The Greyjoy rebellion has started and his father had gone to war, leaving him, Robb, Sansa, and Baby Arya alone.
When his new little sister was born, Jon was allowed to see her only after a week after she was born, to his surprise Arya had dark hair just like him, Robb and Sansa had hairs like their mother.
But since his father left, his treatment had gone even worse, now there was never wood in the fireplace and he was forced to go outside at night and get wood.
He was glad he could read, He always borrowed books from the library and to his luck Master Luwin never told anyone, not even his lord father.
Master Luwin would always tell him that he could get as many books as he wanted, Jon was happy about it.
Ser Rodrik would once a week train him in the God's Wood, there Jon could show just how good he was.
Now Jon could hit him a couple of times during sparring and Robb still has hit him only twice.
Jon was alone in his room, he was reading about Targaryen history when his stomach starts making noises, he gets up slowly and opens the door. Jon knew where the kitchen was, he had already got food from the kitchen a couple of times.
He slowly walks to the kitchen and gets bread with honey, he returns to his room and eats like a starving man.
After 2 Days
He was in the great hall, in front of Lady Stark who was looking at him with a furious look, to her left was Jeyne Pool, "Tell us what did the bastard do?" Lady Catelyn said with venom in every word.
"I saw him getting food from the kitchen" Jeyne answered.
"Why?" Lady Catelyn asked him.
"I was hungry, my lady" Jon answered looking at the ground.
"Lock him in his room for two days, no food or water" she ordered, Ser Rodrik looks in shock but doesn't say anything.
Jon was alone in his room freezing, it had been a day but he was hungry, Ser Rodrik had given him bread yesterday but only once.
Jon closes his eyes to sleep hoping he would see his mother. "Mother" Jon murmured trying to sleep.
'He was standing alone and in front of him was a mountain, Jon couldn't understand where he was, then the earth starts shaking, and then the black mountain opens his eyes, Jon sees the mountain moving but understands in not a mountain, the thing spreads his wings and looks at him with pure blue eyes "The Song of Ice and Fire".
