The freezing cold air is wiping around Jon Snow. Jon opened his eyes to see a familiar room that he hasn't been to since he left for the wall four years ago. "My room," he gasped. Quickly standing to his feet and opening the window of his room and seeing Winterfell. It was as wondrous as he remembered. He looked around his room and saw his familiar objects of his childhood. The godswood that he went to when he ran into Lady Stark and when he wanted to be alone. He hadn't been here in so long and wanted so badly to call this place his home.

It was all here, but how was he here? Was he dead? The last thing he remembered was getting stabbed by his own brothers and them saying it was for the watch.

"Jon," a voice he hadn't heard in years softly called for him. He turned from the window that he was staring out from and saw his father Eddard Stark standing, his long brown hair blowing lightning from the winter breeze.

"Father," he could hear the uneasiness in his voice. "Father, where am I?"

"Jon, you are home," he walked toward Jon and grabbed his hands. There were tears in both Jon and Eddards eyes. Jon brings himself to speak. "I am sorry."

"Sorry?" he gasped in surprise at his apology.

"May I ask what you are sorry for?" Eddard Stark asked, confused.

"I am sorry I wasn't there for you or Robb. I left my family helpless. I could have helped Robb or done something to help."

"Sadly maybe you could have done something but we can go change the past we can only move forward. The last time we talked I said the next time we see each other I will tell you about your mother," Eddard said.

"Who was she, where was she?"

"Before I tell you about her, let's go back to the Tourney at Harrenhal. There was a Knight known as the Knight of the Laughing Tree. Very few knew who this knight was but the knight made an enemy of the Mad King. He instructed his son Rheagar Targaryen to take care of the knight."

"Who was the knight?" Jon asked.

"It was my sister Lyanna, she was known as the She-Wolf of Winterfell."

"So is that why Rheagar kidnapped her and raped her?" Jon asked.

"That's what Robert believed to be true, but it was far from it. Lyanna fell in love with Rheagar and she went willingly, not forced. Nor did he rape her."

Jon was looking at his father curious, waiting for him to continue. "Me and six others went to the Tower of Joy where they said she was. I came across three of Aerys Targaryen's Kingsguard. There was Ser Gerold Hightower. Ser Arthur Dayne. Ser Oswell Whent."

"But why were there three Kingsguard protecting Lyanna?"

"They were protecting their King?"

Jon looked at his father even more confused than he was before. "Ser Arthur let me pass knowing when I told him I wouldn't hurt anyone in the tower." Ned took a moment to breathe before he continued.

"When I made my way in the tower I found Lyanna bathed in blood. She thought I was a dream, I got to her and she was dying. She knew it and I knew it. In her last breaths she asked me to protect someone." Once again Ned Stark took an even deeper breath than before knowing what he was about to say.

"She made me promise her I would project her baby boy."

Jon was so shocked he didn't know what to say. "Where is her boy?" Jon asked, trying to wonder where he was.

"I am looking at him." Ned Stark finally said. Jon looked at his so called father with shock he fell down landing on his bed.

"Jon you were never a bastard or my son but my nephew. Rheagar married Lyanna and had a second wife. Your name that she gave you was Jaehaerys Targaryen. I promised your mother to protect you and I promised the last remaining Kingsguard that I would teach you as my own son."

Jon didn't know where to look and he started to speak very slowly. "Where are the Kindsguard?" Jon said in almost a whisper.

"Well after I left the tower with you and your mother. The last remaining kingsguard went to Starfall where they faked Ashara Dayne's death so they could disappear. Then they went to Dragonstone where they nursed your Grandmother back to health and disappeared with her as well. The last known place that I knew where they were was Qarth."

"Are there any other people here besides you and me?"

"Are you asking me if you can see your mother then yes. Follow me."

Jon or now Jaehaerys was following his Uncle out of his room to make his way towards the godswood. Jon saw a man and two women all having their hands clasped with one another. But when they saw Jon they broke apart looking at the man making their way towards them. The man standing was about as tall as Robb with Robb's hair length. Then he looked at the two women and one looked very Dornish while the other had the look of a classic northern beauty. She looked wild and fierce like Arya but also loving and passionate. She was wearing a light blue dress, the color of the dress looked like a Winter Rose.

It took Jon a moment but then he knew who the woman was. "M…" He knew what he wanted to say, but he could barely bring himself to say it. He never thought he would be saying those words. "Mother?" Jon finally said.

There were tears of love coming from her eyes, Lyanna Stark Targaryen nodded her head. "My baby boy." Was all she needed to say for Jon to run into her arms. All the ways that he built up as a child were gone. This is what he wanted for the longest time to know what it felt like to have a mother's love. He buried his head in the crook of her neck. Lyanna was sobering while she held her boy for the second time. "My sweetling."

He didn't know how long he held his mother's grip. It could be forever but then he felt a hand on his shoulder. He saw a smiling man with tears of his own in his eyes. "My son." Jon letting go of his mother for a moment made his way toward his father finally getting him into a sobering hug as well. "You are a man."

Jon brought himself to finally say it. "Father." Jon looked back at Ned Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen. "You don't know how proud we are of you."

"You became the man we always dreamt that you would become," Rhaegar said.

"But I failed, I died, they killed me even if I did the right thing," Jon said looking down.

"Ah, yes nephew you did fail but how many lives did you save." Jon looked behind his father and found a man he looked up to and a man he asked for guidance. It was Aemon Targayen.

"You did fail, you saved the lives of thousands of men, women and children even if you died. You can only do what you think is right." Aemon said.

His father spoke again "There is a great evil coming and it is threatening the entire realm."

Jon looked at his father "What am I to do? Everyone thinks I am a…" Jon was about to finish till a voice called him. "If you finish that sentence with everyone thinks you a batasd you know that not to be true because you are and always will be my brother." Jon looked and the man to be Robb Stark The Young Wolf. Jon ran into his brother's inbrance.

"Jon I know you may not know me but I am Elia Martell and from the time I watched you. You are more than a bastard, you a hero to the free folk, the young lord commander. And much more."

Rhaegar spoke once again, "Jon you are the Prince that was Promised you always were. They say my sister Daenerys brought back magic to the world. But it was your birth that brought magic to the world. Two ancient bloodlines come together. You are not destined to stay here."

"What!?" Jon asked, confused.

Rhaegar for a moment speaks, "You are going back to the land of the living."

Jon gave a hug to every person there and held his mother for a bit longer. Lyanna looked at her son and said "You have to protect your family Jon family is everything and I know that Arianne Martell does not have your blood but she has your older sister's blood to protect them. Protect your aunt and grandmother and Ashara. The family has been through the deepest parts of all seven hells. I love you and everyone here. I know that my brother is your uncle but you're one of the luckiest people to have two fathers."

It was Aemon who finally spoke. "Kill the boy Jaehaerys and let the man be born."

Then Jaehaerys' vision went to black.
