JON

During the week of the Summer Snow Jon anxiously awaited Maester Luwin's interpretation of his dream. He along with all the men in Winterfell had to place tarps over the crops to save them from the frost. When the work was done Jon ran inside and warmed his hands by the fire from the hearth. As he stood there with Jorey, Theon, and Robb Jon frowns as he starts seeing shapes in the fire. He sees men of the Night's Watch ranging beyond the wall. They come upon a village and find dead dismembered bodies. Then suddenly the dead start moving and they kill two of the men. The third runs off and deserts, then Jon sees himself with his brothers, Theon, and Lord Eddard. His father beheads the man.

Jon closes his eyes and shakes his head. The visions are gone. "Are you alright?" Robb asks.

"I'm..." Jon stares back into the flames and sees nothing but fire. "...fine."

"I hate these Summer snows..." Theon remarks.

"You should be use to them by now..." Robb says.

Later Jon is in his room staring into the fire. Once again then he sees visions in the fire. He sees Bran climb the broken tower and when he reaches the top there is the sound of a man making love to a woman. "Stop! Stop!" They spot Bran.

He tries to get away but the man reaches Bran before he can get away. "Such a brave boy to climb all the way up here..."

"He saw us..."

"I know..."

"He saw us!"

"I heard you the first time...The things I do for love..."

"Bran!" Jon screams as he is shoved from the window. Then the vision fades. The visions scare Jon so he avoids staring into all forms of fire. Lit candles, stoves, ovens, etc. The week passes and the snows end.

"Hopefully there will be no more Summer snows..." Lord Stark says helping to remove the tarps from the crops. They lost fewer than half and immediately start replanting.

When the work is done Jon goes to see Maester Luwin. He walks away not satisfied with the Maester's interpretation of his dream. So Jon does his own research and as he does his mind keeps going back to the Wolf claiming to be his mother and the dragon telling him that he is his son.
"What if? No that is ridiculous..." Jon says lying in bed thinking to himself. "The sigil of House Stark is the Dire Wolf..." He shakes his head, "No..." He decides to get the truth once and for all. Jon is distracted by the hunting trip so he decides to wait until they return to Winterfell. When they return Maester Luwin asks to speak with Lord Stark.

Jon watches them and decides that this is the day he will learn the truth about his mother. He walks up the hall to the Solar and knocks. "Enter..."

Jon finds Maester Luwin and his father in the solar. "Father I need to speak with you. It is urgent..."

"Very well Maester Luwin we will talk later..."

"Yes my Lord..."

Jon locks the door after Luwin leaves. "He told you about my dream didn't he?"

"What dream?" Jon tells him, "Jon it was just a dream..."

"Then tell me the truth for once in my life...Who was my mother...She couldn't have been a whore or low born...I disserve to know the truth..." He says in an angry tone of voice. "Had she been high born her family would have started a blood feud."

Ned sighs, "Your mother was High Born. She was a Stark. And she was my sister...Lyanna…She died in childbirth."

"Then you are not my father."

"No...Prince Rhaegar is your father. He did not rape or kidnap Lyanna."

"What happened?"

So Ned tells Jon the truth starting from the Tourney at Harrenhal until now. "She gave me this letter before she died and asked me to look after you..."

Jon takes the letter and reads.

To My Dearest Brother

Eddard Stark

Ned I know you have heard a lot of things about Rhaegar kidnapping me and whatever happens, I want you to know the truth of it all. At the Tourney of Harrenhal I fell in love with Prince Rhaegar and befriended his wife Princess Elia. It was she who convinced me to run away with Rhaegar and marry him. I am so sorry for all the trouble I caused, but I had to follow my heart…I pray to the gods old and new that you can forgive me…

In the short time I spent with Rhaegar we made a baby…I named him Aegon…I wanted you to know the truth all of it. Rhaegar was trying to overthrow his father, but somehow he found out and spread the rumors of my abduction and rape. Again I beg your forgiveness.

Your beloved Sister

Lyanna Targaryen nee' Stark

He looks at Ned, "Does anyone else know?"

"Besides you me and Maester Luwin...Howland Reed knows. Jon you can tell no one about this. Not even Arya...If the wrong people knew about you. They would use you to start a war to regain the Iron Throne and on the flip side there are those who would see you as a threat especially the Lannisters."

"Then technically I am not a bastard..."

"No Jon you are not a bastard...never have been. You are a Prince by right and the laws of men."

Jon stand up, "I need to think about all this."

"Come and speak with me anytime."

Jon smiles taking comfort in the fact that he is not a bastard. "I am not a bastard..." He whispers. Jon goes to the crypts to look at the statue of his mother Lyanna. Later after evening meal Maester Luwin comes to see him.

"How do you feel now that you know the truth?"

"Happy that I know...Sad that I will never know my father or mother..." He looks at Luwin, "Why did you lie to me?"

"I am sorry for that. I had my suspicions after you told me your dream...I don't know why I didn't see it before...In his youth your father was not a young man given to visiting brothels are bedding young maidens. So when he returned to Winterfell with a baby that didn't come from his wife I was shocked."

"I know my mother's family, but I will never know who my father was or my Targaryen heritage..."

Luwin smiles placing his hand on Jon's shoulder, "Not so...There are tons of books recording the deeds and thoughts of your ancestors."

Jon shakes his head, "I have a read a few, but it is not the same, as learning from my father or hearing the sound of his voice. I suppose I am the last Dragon. The last of House Targaryen."

"No that is not true..."

"How so."

Luwin hesitates, "I have said to much."

Jon grabs his hand, "Please tell me."

"You did not hear this from me, You read it in a book."
