Ned Stark - 294 AC
Jon had disappeared again but this time only for two days and Ned had no idea how he was able to do that. It was like Jon was a ghost and could go through walls. He had ordered more men to guard the entrances of Winterfell to make sure Jon never left again but now he left again. Sneaking around Winterfell and no one ever saw him. He was beginning to think what Catelyn said about Jon wasn't far from the truth.
When he returned after two days, he just said he wanted to spend time with Winter, Arya then had begged him to meet Winter and so did Bran. Ned didn't like that Arya and Bran seemed to love Jon.
Catelyn told him again to just let him leave.
He knew he could do that but he wanted to make sure Jon never sees The Royal Family and best way to do that was to know where he was all the time and Jon disappearing out of thin air didn't help with that. He was already half convinced to lock him inside. Just to make sure he never escapes.
I'm sure he wouldn't be able to open up lock door or just open them with force, he's still only a 11 name days kid. Ned thought sad that he might need to lock Jon but that was for the better.
Robb had asked how could Jon have a Direwolf and not him, he said he was the heir of Winterfell, he should have it and not him.
Ned had tried to explain it, that he can't just steal Winter, she has already chosen Jon as his owner, she would never choose anyone else. Robb had left the solar very angry.
Ned just hoped that he didn't try to get close to Winter, he wasn't sure how she would react to someone that Jon didn't like. She was friendly with Arya for that little time they spend but he didn't know how Winter would react to Robb or Theon and Ned Stark was sure he didn't wanted to find out. He still couldn't understand how Jon was even able to tame a direwolf, that's not a small think to accomplish.
The conversation Ned had with Jon, 5 days ago had shocked Ned. Jon didn't seem to care for him anymore, Ned knew he didn't pay that much attention to him but still to say something like that to him.
Does He Know The Truth? Has Howland told him? No he wouldn't, that would cause war.
Ned thought sure that is just Jon wanting his attention some other way.
But if he knows the truth? What will I do? What will happen if The King finds out?
Ned asked himself but quickly shook the thoughts out of his head.
No, that Should not happen, it can't happen.
Ned thought determined and he would made sure the king would not find out, even if he has to lock Jon in his room.
His son will be Lord of The North and his sons after him and Jon will rot at the wall. But Ned knew the son of Rhaegar will have the power after him, and continue their incestline.
Robert should have had the throne, he and his children, he would have become the best king, The Seven Kingdoms ever had, even better than Jaehearys The Wise. Ned thought angry and remembering his lost brother in all but blood.
Ned escapes from his thoughts when he heard the door opens and Maester Luwin comes inside with a letter on his hands, "My lord, a letter from the King" he said quietly and Ned felt all his blood left his body.
He was breathing heavily and just took the letter from his hands. He noticed his hands were shaking and tried to calm himself down.
He took a deep breath and broke The Damn Targaryen sigil and opened the letter and started reading.
"From King Rhaegar Targaryen First of his Name, King of the Andals and the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm.
The King has announced a Tourney to take place in Harrenhal after three weeks, the Lords of Each Kingdom are invited to this Tourney.
From Jon Connigton, Hand of The King"
He read and reread the letter, he sighed heavily, gritting his teeth. Ned has already refused three tourneys. The North has always avoided the other kingdoms, but he didn't miss the complainants of his banners, they weren't very happy with him not going there, they wanted The North to show themselves. To show the power of The North to the other kingdoms.
And Ned knew avoiding them would not be good, no matter how much he hated the king.
If IronBorn decides to attack The North, the other kingdoms might stand down and let The North deal with them.
Since the tourney would be in Harrenhal, he knew this wasn't just any tourney, this would be a very big tourney and Ned couldn't just say No. He needed to go there but going there raised the risk that Jon would be find out.
Jon shouldn't come, if he comes, will raise the chances of him being seen by the king or his family.
Ned decided determined and he thought to even lock him in his room to make sure he doesn't come to the tourney.
"Maester Luwin" he said to the old maester who was still in the solar.
"Bring to the great hall my childrens and my wife" he ordered and the maester left the solar.
He puts his hands on his face and thinking he will need to see the king again.
Only for a few weeks and I will return here.
Jon Arryn
He was playing with his little girl, Janea Arryn, who was 4 name days now, she was very active all the time, always wanting to walk around and just couldn't stop laughing at everyone. She would often come to their room during night to ask to sleep with them, sometimes even play.
On the other hand his heir Robin Arryn, named after Robert, was different, in the first year, he wasn't sure if he would survive but luckily he survived and become a good boy. He was smart and read a lot but was bad when it came to talking. He would stutter a lot and many times annoy people. He had tried to talk him in a better way but making the things only a little bit better. Because of that he read a lot and wanting to become a smart lord and worthy of 'Arryn' Name
Seeing him made Jon think about what happened to Robert. But he couldn't blame the king, that was War and everyone knew the danger very well.
He was very shocked when he learned that Rhaegar didn't kidnapped Lyanna but they actually loved each other. Robert had told them all the time during the Rebellion that he had kidnapped her, he was sure beyond any doubt for that. During that time, he looked at Eddard Stark and Robert as his own sons and Jon believed Robert's words blindly.
When Rhaegar forgave him for raising his armies against him, he knew he has been a fool. He had doubts that Rickon Stark and Hoster Tully were up to something but he wasn't sure but then Lyanna disappeared and he had to fight for his sons because of The Mad King.
When the rebellion ended, he thought, he would talk with Ned, every now and then but no, they barely send any letters and after his son was born, he needed to take care of him.
And since then not once he send a letter to Ned or neither did he.
He was looking as Janea was trying to catch a bird with her hands, when the maester came "My lord, a letter from the king" the maester said and gives him the letter.
Jon was surprised by this, since Rhaegar had become king, the realm has been in a better state than it was with many other kings. He wondered what this letter might be about.
He opened the letter and started reading.
"From King Rhaegar Targaryen First of his Name, King of the Andals and the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm.
The King has announced a Tourney to take place in Harrenhal after three weeks, the Lords of Each Kingdom are invited to this Tourney.
From Jon Connigton, Hand of The King"
He was surprised to hear about a tourney, has been two years since the last one and Jon couldn't really understand why a tourney now.
And he noticed that it would be held in Harrenhal and knew this tourney was a big deal.
Perhaps he already wants to announce betrothals for his children or maybe try to find one for his children and sister. Jon thought.
He turned to his daughter who was sad that the bird had flied away "Come here" he said kindly and she turns to him smiling and runs to him with her arms spread "Papa" she responded loudly and hugs him.
"We're going to a tourney, you, me, mama and Robin". He said kissing her cheek.
Edmune Tully
He was standing on his solar and to his right was his uncle Brynden 'Blackfish' Tully.
It has been 11 years but still some of the banners, were still wanting revenge for the execution of his father. Still wanting blood, to kill The Whole Royal family.
He wanted revenge too and dreamed the day he would kill the king and his whore Queen.
Cersei helped him to remind him about that, she would often tell him that they would have their revenge for what happened to Hoster Tully. While to his surprise, his uncle would always tell him to forget about the past and only think about the future.
He kept telling him that they were very lucky to still be Lord Paramount, he always said for him to try to make a bright future for his childrens and a future without wars.
He doesn't understand, when the time comes, Rhaegar and his whole family will pay for what they did Edmune swore to himself.
Is Rhaegar's fault, if he would have lost, House Tully would have blood on the Iron Throne.
What makes them more special than us, dragons are gone and soon the Targaryen will be gone too Edmune though with a little smile on his face.
From his children Joffrey was the one who caused the most trouble, he would often treat servants, very badly. His uncle once beat Joffrey so hard after he had hurt a little boy of 4 name days, Joffrey's front teeth was broken and his right eye blackened.
Cersei had screamed at him and wanting him to be put in the dungeons but Edmune couldn't do that. He knew his uncle was respected through the whole Riverlands.
His uncle would tell him many times that his banners didn't like his son and if he didn't try to educate him then they won't follow him or worse, rebell against him.
Luckily for him Myrcella and Tommen were calmer and easier to handle. They would often play with each other or with sons or daughters of soldiers and captains.
He hears someone knocking on the door and looks at the door.
"Come in" he ordered and the maester comes inside with a letter in his hands.
"A letter from the king" he said and puts the letter in his desk.
Looking at the sigil of House Targaryen made him want to burn the damn letter but instead his uncle grabs it and opens the letter.
"From King Rhaegar Targaryen First of his Name, King of the Andals and the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm.
The King has announced a Tourney to take place in Harrenhal after three weeks, the Lords of Each Kingdom are invited to this Tourney.
From Jon Connigton, Hand of The King"
Edmune didn't really care to go there but he knew he should go there.
At least maybe something interesting might happen in this tourney Edmune thought.
"We need to prepare to go to Harrenhal" his uncle said with authority on his tone.
He just nodded in agreement.
Olenna Tyrell
She was in the gardens looking at the birds as they fly around, it was a beautiful day but a boring day all the same. She was used to this, boring days, doing nothing but eat lemon cakes and just watch as the flowers, grow strong.
The king had accepted the betrothal between Margery and the crown prince Aegon Targaryen, House Tyrell will have Blood on The Throne. She was very happy for her granddaughter.
From what her informers told her, the crown prince was kind, handsome, good at sword fighting and was very smart.
Her informers told her that he would spend a long time reading and trying to be the perfect King as they called it. She knew there was no such thing as Perfect King but if he's as good as his father, then there's nothing to worry about.
Rhaegar Targaryen was a good change and spended so many years trying to heal the wounds his mad father left behind.
Margery has been prepared her whole life to become a Queen and now she would become one. The Best Queen to ever exist.
She escapes from her thoughts when she hears footsteps behind her "Grandmother, come Willas wants to talk with you apparently a message from the king" her Golden Margery said kindly with her beautiful voice.
She slowly gets up and walks inside but thinking what that message could be.
She enters the room and finds Willas already there waiting for her, she walks to her chair and Margery closes the door behind her.
She sees a scroll in Willas's hands, sealed with the three headed dragon.
"Well, read it" she said bored wanting to know if this was anything interesting.
Willas opens the letter and starts reading.
"From King Rhaegar Targaryen First of his Name, King of the Andals and the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm.
The King has announced a Tourney to take place in Harrenhal after three weeks, the Lords of Each Kingdom are invited to this Tourney.
From Jon Connigton, Hand of The King"
She was surprised to hear that.
Perhaps he wants to announce the betrothal between Margery and Prince Aegon Olenna though but still they were still very young to announce their betrothal, or maybe he wants to find a betrothal for princess Rhaenys.
If that's the case maybe Willas should come and try to make the princess for himself. Willas was handsome and smart but that leg.
"Why do you think the king is making this tourney?" Willas asked looking at her.
She shrugged "Perhaps he wants to announce the betrothal between Margery and Prince Aegon or maybe he wants to find a good lord for his sister or daughter Princess Rhaenys" she said looking at his reaction.
He didn't seem to have that much of reaction "I still think that is a waste of time, the king will need to marry her to The North to make alliance, he already has an alliance with us" Willas stated and she could understand his point.
"Well it won't hurt to go there" she said and both Willas and Margery nodded in agreement.
Tywin Lannister
He was in his solar dealing with his duties as a lord, his dwarf had come to him yesterday demanding Castely Rock, the seat that belongs to Jaime not that dwarf.
Everytime he would think of Jaime, he would get very angry with both the king and Jaime himself. He had the chance to leave the kingsguard but instead he choose to stay for whatever reason. Following stupid Honor, wanting to become like the stupid knights in the songs.
His daughter shipped off to that fish, his plan to marry Princess Daenerys to Joffrey would fail, he was sure about that. That's why he started making the plan to start the war, he just needed the perfect opportunity.
Tywin had heard about the moves Golden Company was making accross The Narrow Sea.
Tywin was sure they were supporting a Blackfyre, that was no confirmation but who else. Tywin knew he couldn't make a deal with them. He wanted Lannister blood on the throne and his grandson Joffrey was the best option. His spies in Riverlands had informed of the bad behavior of his grandson and Tywin send more than one letter to Cersei and telling her to educate him, he should be smart not just feared.
His spies still couldn't tell him if the betrothal between Prince Aegon and Margery Tyrell was finished, that was important, he needed to know if House Tyrell would stay with the crown or stay neutral. The Reach was a large kingdom with all the food, them fighting or not would make the difference between winning and losing. They fought for the crown last time, if that could be called fighting. Mace Tyrell was a coward and most likely hide away in his castle.
He hears a knock on the door "Come in" he ordered with a harsh tone.
The door opens and he sees the old maester walking inside holding a scroll. "My lord a letter from the king" he said with his old rotten tone. Tywin grabbed the scroll.
"Fetch me Kevan here" Tywin ordered and the maester left the room.
After a short time, his brother came inside "Tywin?" He asked with respect looking at him.
He points a finger to the scroll, his brother looked surprised, his eyebrows raised "What does it say?" He asked curious and Tywin opens the scroll.
"From King Rhaegar Targaryen First of his Name, King of the Andals and the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm.
The King has announced a Tourney to take place in Harrenhal after three weeks, the Lords of Each Kingdom are invited to this Tourney.
From Jon Connigton, Hand of The King"
"A tourney" his brother said disappointed expecting something else.
"This can be our chance Kevan, In this tourney I could have a talk with Lord Stark and Lord Arryn and if that fails, we can move on with our plan" Tywin said sharply and his brother nodded in understanding.
Jaehearys Targaryen
He was sitting on the ground beside him was Winter, she was looking at him.
I have spend enough time here, is time to meet my father and the rest of my family. He had visited his mother's tomb every day since he came except when he needed to go to Howland Reed.
He still remembered what Lord Reed said about his father when he find out that my mother was dead and thinking that I was dead too.
That made Jae furious, they had taken him from a family that would have loved him.
He was happy to spend time with Arya before he leaves for Kings Landing. She was his little sister, despite her being his cousin and not sister. Jae still saw her as his little sister and Bran like his little brother.
Jae wasn't sure about Bran, Robb was kind to him in the beginning too but he become friend with that rotten IronBorn.
Bran was still young, he didn't know how he will become when he grows up.
And after Everything is settled, they might hate me, and so will Arya Jae thought sadly.
' Jaehearys and Arya were walking towards the Wolfswood, Arya wanted and was excited to meet Winter.
"She's a shewolf right?" Arya asked with a childlish tone.
He chuckles "Yes, Arya, she is" he responded happily and rubbing her hair. She giggles and holding his hands to stop touching her hair.
"Do you think she will have little pups?" She asked surprising him. He hadn't thought about it. He shrugged his shoulder "I don't know, perhaps" he answered.
"I hope she has little pups, I would love to have a direwolf" she said excited.
After walking, he sees Winter coming to them, she walks to him and licks his face, he moves her head away.
"Stop, you know I don't like it" Jae said and Arya was laughing out loud.
Jae turns to him and so does Winter, she was looking at Arya with interest.
Arya doesn't back away, instead she was walking closer and reaching out her hand to touch Winter, she looks at her and lowers her head and Arya touch her head.
"Wow, she's beautiful and soft" she said laughing while Winter was licking her fingers.
Arya moves around Winter looking at her from every direction, she even kneels down to look at her stomach. Jae didn't know why she was doing that.
"Can I ride her?" She asked her eyes looking at her then to him.
He nodded and she jumped in excitement.
She tried to climb but he stopped her, she looks at him angry but quieted her with a look, he mount her first and reach out his hand for Arya to grab, she smiled and grabbed his hand.
"WOW" she yelled loudly and holding his waist with her hands to not fall.
Jaehearys could feel Winter wasn't very comfortable with Arya on her back.
"Can you tell her to run?" She asked and removing one of her hands from his waist and touched Winter.
"She's so soft" she said touching her back around.
Winter starts growling "Time to leave Arya" he said and before she could ask anything, he removes her from Winter and she seemed to relax.
Arya didn't looked pleased but she noticed that Winter didn't like her in her back.
"Time to leave, before Lord Stark yells at us for being in the Wolfswood" Jae said and she just nodded and starts walking towards Winterfell.
"Can I meet her again?" Arya asked innocently looking at him with big puppy eyes. He chuckled "Yes, of course Arya" he answered and Arya smiled. '
Jae returned to The Great Hall, everyone was there, Lord Stark was sitting on the center looking at him worriedly.
"Why did you brought us here?" Robb asked looking at his father.
Lord Stark sighed tired "A Tourney will take place, after three weeks and The King has invited each kingdom to come" Lord Stark responded and saw Sansa smile with happiness.
Jae on the other hand was very happy, Arya looked like she didn't care that much. Robb looked interested and Theon was just looking at the table bored. Bran was looking in awe and happiness.
"Are we going father, please say yes?" Sansa asked excitedly.
Lady Stark grabbed her hand and looks at Lord Stark "Yes, we're going" lord Stark answered looking at his lady wife.
Sansa was jumping from excitement, Arya looked interested only because she could see warriors and perhaps fighting herself.
Lord Stark's eyes then go to Jaehearys "You're not coming" he said.
"Yes" Jaehearys responded angrily.
"No" Lord Stark responded seriously and higher tone.
"Why?" He asked with a higher tone.
"Would be offensive for The Royal Family if you came" he responded and Jae fought the urge to laugh out loud.
"You understand, I won't be the only bastard there?" He asked seeing as the man looked to be shrinking in his seat.
"Jon, you're not coming and that's FINAL" Lord Stark yelled at the last part.
Jaehearys felt his anger raising, his blood was boiling. The whole reason why he even was in this rotten place was because he wanted to see his mother.
Jae saw a little smile on Lady Stark's face.
"I'm afraid I must refuse, Lord Stark, I'm coming whatever you like it or not" Jae said with a threatening tone at the end. He heard the gasp of everyone there.
Lord Stark looked angry "Jon, I'm not telling you, I'm ordering you to stay here" Lord Stark said seriously.
"Let Me Burn Him, Show him The Flames of a True Dragon" BloodFyre said.
Jaehearys wanted nothing more than to say 'Yes' and burn him to the ground along with his precious home.
Jaehearys started feeling a fire in his eyes and and chest, he felt like he just wanted to spread it everywhere.
He was looking at the target Lord Stark, the man he thought was his father, the man he thought loved him, the man he would do everything for.
Who does he think he is, he ruined my life, he took me away from my family and now he dares to order me.
Jae could feel BloodFyre was close and even his wings could be heard, all the way here.
"Let's Burn Them"
Ned Stark
He was looking at Jon, his eyes had turned pure green again and he didn't know why this was happening, he could see it now. There was something wrong with Jon and Catelyn was right.
"Jon" Arya said concerned looking at Jon who was looking with hateful eyes. Ned then hears a thunder outside. He couldn't understand where that thunder could come from. But now thinking about it, he knew that wasn't the sound of a Thunder.
Arya then moves quickly to Jon and grab his hands, "Jon, calm down" she said crying.
Jon looks at her and his eyes slowly turns normal, his breath was returning to normal but he was still looking at them furious.
Jaehearys Targaryen
He closed his eyes and opened them again. There was no point in staying here anymore.
He turns to walk away, he knew Arya was calling him but he didn't care.
He reached his room and grabbed 'Dark Sister' under the bed, he grabbed a few things when the door opens and Lord Stark comes inside.
Jaehearys just looks at him emotionless "Jon, I don't know what is your problem but you're staying here" Lord Stark said trying to sound strong. His eyes then go to 'Dark Sister'.
"Where did you get that?" Lord Stark asked and tried to move forward but Jae unsheathe his sword quickly.
Lord Stark looked shocked by his quickness and took a step back.
He looked angry at him and his hand was on the hilt of the sword. "You're staying here until we return" he said emotionless and closed the door but before Jae could open it he locked it.
Jaehearys didn't care, he was instead smiling "Fire and Blood" he said quietly.
After 3 Days - Night
Lord Stark and his family left 2 days ago, leaving him here. Winter had tried to get inside Winterfell but Jae forced her to go away.
Arya had come to him crying but he just said that everything would be fine.
Jae gets up from his bed and closed his eyes.
"Let me help you" Bloodfyre said.
"Land close to me" he ordered and he felt the whole Castle shake. He knew soon everyone would wake up.
He looks at his window as Bloodfyre smash the wall. His face get close to him and Jae climbs on him.
"Fire And Blood" Bloodfyre said.
"Fire And Blood" Jae responded.
