Chapter 2 Dreams of rebuilding the Ruins and need to save the wild mustangs

Aryanna Snow

"Aryanna!"

Her silvery eyes opened when her name is called. However, she refused to answer to the caller. Aryanna looked at the field, but what she was really looking is the North itself. Ayanna is no more than 12 and she is quiet more than unusual.

Ayanna was doing her daily racing around the fields and the hills. She patted onto her horse, her prized mustang that has chosen her by her mother and the Ryswell family.

Hidalgo.

That is what her proud horse is called.

[Whistles]

"Come on, little brother." Aryanna said as they paced themselves to win this country yard race. She already famous for never lost a race in the North. Half of the North praises her for being the best they had to offered, while others disregarded her as a Snow.

The one who called out her name is her cousin, Jon Snow. He panted as he rides out his horse to catch up to her.

"Ready for a check point?"

Both Aryanna and Jon looked at this cocky Lannister that came to the North. He is older than her age 7 and 10. Damon Lannister is too cocky and stuck up.

"When I do win this race, Lady Snow. Perhaps, I should follow Dorne examples of having you as my Paramour." He winked at her which she gave an ick sound and Jon glared at him.

It's no secret that just because he is a Lannister doesn't mean he should treat her as a prize.

"All set, Jon?" Her cousin nodded and raised his torch to signal his flare.

It went up a loud POP!

The race is on!

"Ready for second place Lannister?" She taunted him. She knew that his anger is always his downfall.

"Let see about that snow! Ye-haw!"

….

Damon Lannister went into the pub with a down frown in his face.

"Ale."

The group of people at one side and Damon Lannister said.

"I don't like your style, Snow."

"Hey! You made it." Aryanna told him.

Laughter filled the room with bunch of common Northmen and raised their cups in her honor. Jon Snow is by her side smiling smugly at him. Domeric Bolton, her cousin is there and SmallJon Umber is already a giant despite age 8 and 10.

"Mustangs don't belong in races with thoroughbreds." The room became quiet and many looked between Aryanna and Damon Lannister.

He should not have said that!

She gave him a calm and chilly aura that felt winter has come to the Pub.

"If you ask me, they belong in fertilizer." Many gasp and outraged by a Lannister. Domeric and Jon pulled her back a bit because she wants to punch him in the face.

"My Lord..." The Pub owner told the Lannister.

"You can say anything you want about me. I'm gonna have to ask you not to talk about my horse that way."

Tensions rise in the air.

Aryanna reach in her pocket many tensed believing that she is getting a dagger or a weapon to fight him. Up in a flash of hand it's a coin that flips off in the air. Many looked up and see the gold dragon coin.

Aryanna simply asked, "Hands or tails?"

Damon fumbles and quickly answered, "Tails!"

It landed on heads.

Many oohed and groans are sounded off. Damon looked tensed and sweated a bit. 'Fool he acts like I'm going to eat him.'

"SmallJon." She calls out.

SamllJon took pleasure in punching the Lannister in the face. He collapses on the ground. One punch is all it took.

Aryanna toss the coin bag to the counter where the owner is.

"I'm sure he is going to stay here until he gets up and leave."

The Pub owner looked at her and let out a booming laughter. Everyone laughs at the display.

"Aye, my lady. Drinks are on the House!"

Many cheered greatly at the display. Or the fact they gotten more drinks on the house. Aryanna knew as a bastard; she can't touch him, but she find the loophole that if it's a scuffles between trueborn lords they let things solved by a punch each other in the face.

Later that evening, Aryanna, Jon, Domeric and SmallJon have to leave because they need to return their homes or else be scolded with harshest lectures.

Aryanna waved them goodbye.

"Come on, Jon. Let's go back home."

"Yeah, lets." Jon ride along side with her. She tied a rope that attached to his horse and made sure she sticks close to her.

"Anna?"

"Yes, Jon?"

"why do you race for gold?" Jon cutely tilted his head.

Aryanna leaned in and whispers, "Can you keep a secret?"

Jon eagerly nodded as he wanted to please her.

"I'm saving enough money to rebuilt Moat Catlin."

Jon Gasped and clapped his mouth with his hand.

"When I rebuild it I'm going to rule it and best part I want you to be my first steward. But keep it a secret?" She gave a shush sound and one finger over her lips. Jon repeated the notion and smile.

Eddard Stark

Eddard Stark rubbed his forehead as he is trying to ease his headaches. Yes, his niece had become famous as the long-distance rider and challenges anyone in the race around the North. No one, not even his fellow Northmen can beat her in the race.

Ned signs again.

Of all the children, she is the free one.

It seems that Jon Snow his 'bastard' son looks up to her and follows her around. Many had joked that Aryanna could very well be his mother then his real one.

Both of his boys are 8 and Sansa is younger by 2 years and Arya is a babe. Catelyn is mannered with Aryanna, but she is not care for. Since Aryanna took care of herself very well and Jon Snow is his niece self-believed responsibility.

However, that is not his source of his headaches. A raven came and the debt of the Iron Throne is to gathered wild horses and have them killed by Ordered of Robert Baratheon first of his name. Many Northmen; especially house of Ryswell prided themselves of breeding and tamed wild horses. Ned wanders how they are going to pay off the debt to save these horses.

"How can we come up with that much money to save them and pay off the Debts?" Eddard asked himself.

He didn't even know that Robert would allow such a thing to happen.

A knock of the door had sounded for him to snap out of his mind.

"Come in."

It's his niece Aryanna Snow and Jon Snow, his 'Bastard' son.

"You wanted to see us." Aryanna bravely made a statement. Eddard looked at her that she put up a brave front, but nervous about it.

"Yes, I heard that you won a race again."

Jon spoked, "She's great and the Lannister said an awful thing to Hidalgo."

Eddard let out a big sigh of breath. He should have known that Jon would pick up few bravery from his idol.

"It's not why I brought you here."

They show confusion about it.

"She is not in trouble?" Jon softly spoke to him.

"No, there is trouble with the seven kingdoms. His grace, Robert Baratheon ordered the wild horses to be rounded up and be put to death in order to reduce the debts to pay off."

"WHAT!?"

"He can't do that!"

Ned wasn't expecting both outbursts from both children.

"Uncle there has been another way!" Aryanna shouted at him. Jon nodded his head vehemently.

"I'm afraid there is none."

What he didn't realize is Jon brightening his eyes as if he remembers something.

"What about that race?"

Ned sighed again, "Even if Aryanna keeps winning the race it won't be enough."

"No, father! I mean that biggest race in Dorne. "Ocean of Fire": an annual 3,000-mile race across the desert region."

Both Ned and Aryanna are surprised at Jon.

But his honor be damned he will not allow it.

"No."

"But uncle I could do it!"

"My answer is no."

Aryanna looked frustrated and Jon sighed in disappointment.

"I rather not risked your life. You are my brother child and I don't want you throw your life away."

Aryanna rejected that idea.

"It's not by choice! Uncle, I know that Dorne is a dangerous land, but I can get enough to save the mustangs. Someone has to do it. And that someone is gotta be me."

Eddard looked at her.

"I know that more than anything I want my name to be heard, but this is not it. It's about the horses and all lives have purpose even those who can't speak."

Jon pleads as he looked at him, "Please father."

Eddard rather not risk her. No he lost too much members of his family. He knows that it's going to kill her and Jon would looked at him in great disappoint in him.

"This is my final decision."

Aryanna head looked down and Jon is trying to blink away his tears.

"Come on, Jon. Let's go study."

No words spoken when they left. His heart felt like it's broken. Yes, this hurt, but he does this to protect them. Even they hate him for it. They will have to understand when their older.

It has been like this for days since Aryanna refused to speak with him. Jon Sulked in the shadows.

This has been a strange morning when they had come the houses of Umbers, Bolton, Karstark and Mormont came busted in his home.

"Where is he!?" GreatJon shouted as he looked around. Lord Roose silently looked around like he was expecting someone. Lord Rickard Karstark searching the halls along with Lady Maege Mormont had gathered around him.

"What is the meaning of this!?" Ned shouted as his wife Cat gathered their children away from them.

"My son left a letter saying that he went to Winterfell." Lord Umber growled.

Ned became confused by this. What letter?

"I received no news of this."

Roose Bolton step forward, "My son and heir also came here as well."

"Two of my boys went to hunt around here and they were meant to come back!" Lord Karstark shouted in fear and anger.

"Aye, same with my two daughters, Dacey and Alysane. We demanded to know where our children are, Lord Stark."

They came in arguing and demanded where their children are.

Something clicks and he dread when he looked at his children. There is Robb, Sansa, and Arya, but no Snow children.

"Cat, where are Aryanna and Jon are?"

The shouting matches stopped when they realized the Snow children are missing.

Ned quickly ran to Jon's room first.

He knocked quickly and fast.

"Jon? Opened up!"

He burst into the door and saw no one is here. He quickly searched and found not a trace of him. He left and went to his niece's room and none of her as well.

"Search them. Search everywhere!"

Many trailed off and waited eagerly to find them

"My Lord, we found no trace of them."

"Where the hell could they are?!" Umber shouted as he stood up. Other lords are shouting as well.

What happened to them?

Ned looked at Maester Luwin as asked, "Is Hidalgo still in his stable?"

Ned, Maester Luwin, and Cat along with Umber, Bolton, Karstark and Mormont followed him to the stable. Hidalgo is missing and Jon's pony as well. There is the note attached to the wood pole.

Dear Uncle Ned,

By the time you get this I am in Dorne.

I'm sorry that you couldn't do

anything about saving the mustangs, but I resolve a solution.

I'm going to join the Ocean of fire in hopes of winning the race. I have been sending ravens to consult with fellow members of the houses.

Those who had answered my needs of dire situation of helping those mustangs and they are good houses of loyal Northmen.

'SmallJon Umber, Domeric Bolton, Harrion Karstark, Torrhen Karstark, Dacey Mormont, Alysane Mormont and Jon Snow.

I don't regret it.

Sincerely yours, Aryanna Snow.

Ned gapped and others have as well.

"Why would she do this?" Ned quietly said. Everyone is speechless. What in seven hells is she thinking?!

"I'm not sure should I be furious or proud that he answered the calling." Lord Umber is curious.

"Should we send someone to stop them?" Lord Karstark asked.

"What for? By the time we get there they will be long gone by now." Lord Bolton pointed out. Lady Mormont agreed, "Aye, I doubt they want to be found by us without a good fight."

Ned calmly needs to do something.

"I need to send a raven quickly. Hopefully, we can hear where the whispers of them."

They all nodded.

Ned could hear them talking.

"I gotta say this is most surprising." Lord Umber told them.

"Aye, a wild wolf is definitely that child." Mormont made a statement.

"She probably believes that she is capable of winning this race." Karstark told them.

"I am more curious about dealing with our children when they get back."

"Aye, Lord Bolton is right!" Umber told them.

"I'm going give them an ear when they come back." Karstark said.

"I'll join you!" Umber laughed.

Eddard quickly went up to the room and written down to Robert stating what had happened.
