Chapter 1
~6 years later~
Marion Stark opened her grey circle purple eyes and woken up from her bed. She yawned loud and wide as she stretches her arms.
She quickly got out of her bed and quickly changes into her trouser and puffy long shirt. As quickly grabs her bow and a couple of arrows to begin her archery. As she left her chamber, there was a padding sound right behind her as she turns to gaze upon her newfound friends. They are two brother tiger cubs that she found after their mother was missing and their father was killed by poachers, that she named them; Sangha and Kumal. They are as different as night as day. Sangha the younger was gentle and kind; his brother, Kumal the elder was fierce and bold. Marion loves them and begs her mother to let her have them. Ashara reluctantly agrees, but she must be the one to take care of them and she is responsible to kill them if they attack anyone and buried them herself.
She was outside in the courtyard and for hours; she aims the target more than once. As she was about to release another arrow she heard horse coming from the gates. It was a group of northern men approaching her mother's household. She abandons her bow and arrows on the ground. She ran towards them as her cubs follow her to meet them. Marion recognizes their sigil; they are wearing the first thing she knew was the birthplace of her father. The direwolf of the North and the current Lord is Eddard Stark; the house of Stark, the warden of the Winterfell and her other family that shares the blood of the Winter Kings. Marion knew from childhood that she is heir apparent to her father's house and house of Dayne, including all of Dorne whom rather see her on that seat of Winterfell rather than her uncle's children. In Dorne, the first born child is the heir and no one care if the child is female. She has her mother's cunning and wit as she has her father's Wolfblood that makes her unpredictable in both body and mind. Marion has no doubt that Dorne will fight for her rights as the heir. She just hopes that it won't be another wart for her rights; if it does then she will face it head on.
Eddard Stark
Eddard Stark came to Dorne at Starfall Castle. He came to deliver Arthur Dayne body to them and it saddens him more; that he found his sister, Lyanna laying there and dying from a birth fever. His nephew being born after she gave birth to him, the son of Lyanna and Rhaegar Targaryen; now disguised as his baseborn son, Jon Snow. He stops his horse as he widen his eyes in shocked, he saw this little girl with who strongly resemble Ashara Dayne, but also he saw his mother image in this little girl. Her grey eyes of a Stark with a circlet purple around it. Below her were her tiger cubs that are sitting content as if they are guarding her from any danger. He look back at her as she stood perfectly still like a proud alpha wolf in her den. It was like he was seeing and remembering his past, his father; Rickard Stark would gaze upon men who had come into their home. Her tallness as he could tell was the same height as Brandon Stark was in that age; possibility six namedays old that he was already a giant to Ned as a little boy.
"Where is Lord Dayne, my lady?" Ned spoked polity to her. She gave him a strong glare and loudly, "I'm Not a Lady!"
All the men snickers and some gave her a surprised look as they glanced at him; he was gaping like a fish and was lost in words.
"We..ll..I..um," Ned stutter and wasn't sure how to respond to that notion. The way, she spoken to him reminded him of Lyanna used to say all the time. He looked at her tiger cubs as they growled and roar a little in sensing her fury.
"Marion, go inside and get cleaned up." Ashara Dayne has spoken throughout audience ears to hear. Marion scowled at Ned, a bit and she quickly left in a hurry with her cubs running behind her.
The three northern men are greeted by Lord Dayne and few family members of Ashara Dayne.
"Why have you come here?" Lord Dayne coldly remarked them. "Are you going to asked me, Lord Dayne to welcome you into my house? I refuse to do that. That kinslayer, Robert Baratheon had kill our true king Rhaegar Targaryen and what else is new, we had heard that old lion had killed our princess of Dorne and her children; your so-called king gave us no justice!" his voice roared angrily at them. Many years, Dorne has kept their independence for centuries since the Targaryen sister-wives tried to bring them into a fold, but failed many times. Dorne can never be truly conquered only through marriage that made peace to them, but never truly conquered.
"Please my Lord Dayne; we came to return Ser Arthur Dayne and the Sword of Morning." Ned gestured his body and the sword being given to one of the Starfall guards. "My only wished is to given him the proper burial in his household and that is my duty that I wished to fulfill."
Lord Dayne grimly nodded and gestured the men to carry his son's body to the crypt to bury him. Ashara meekly nodded 'thanks' as they carried her brother's body.
Lord Dayne had grabbed their family sword and left. Ned stood there and asked for a Maester to check is wounded men. The next few days, Ned is discussing with Ashara Dayne about Marion Stark. However, Lord Dayne is the most stubborn man that refuses to let his favorite granddaughter out of his sight and rather keeps her in Starfall.
"No." Lord Dayne rebuked that request.
"But my Lord, she is my niece and she must come with me to the North." Ned pleaded his case; it feels like he was arguing with a brick wall. "She is a Stark and my wife will help me care for Marion…" He was cut off by Lord Dayne.
"You already have a wife. A fishwife of that Tully bastard of a father who abused his own house words: Family. Duty. Honor. That man will accuse my precious little star of being a bastard and I won't let your wife replace her true mother and follow her teachings that are against the Northern culture into her beliefs. Hmph! " Lord Dayne never like the Tully's since Lord Hoster liked to brag and prided his first born daughter as if she is god's perfect creation while his own daughter is not only beautiful, but she is strong-will and knew very well on to how to be witty and cunning. When Brandon wished to marry his daughter, he hasn't stopped smiling since this will help Dorne to closed allies of the North.
"Then she can at least visit your family once every two years. Then return her back to the North as a Stark."
Lord Dayne looked conflicted, but he never shows it on his facial.
"Then she will have to send letters and twice a year to spend time in Starfall. I expect that we must resolve the issue of the heir to Winterfell. Your first born son will marry Marion Stark to settle the years of conflict." Ned was in shocked at this agreement, but he knows that this will prevent another war from Dorne.
"I will see to it with the Kings' permission."
This was the beginning of how the Starfall wolf had married the Young wolf that resolves this soon-to-be conflict, yet the death of Eddard Stark had spark the North rebelled the Iron Throne. However, there is one person who will challenge any obstacles to get the Starfall Wolf and his name is Aegon Targaryen the son of Elia Martell and Rhaegar Targaryen who will hunt and kill anyone who stands in his way to claim her….
Marion Stark
At that moment when Lord Stark is discussing with her grandfather and mother; she was in her chambers looking at the window as she gaze at the scene of her home. She nodded her head and hums a tone to remember her home, her mother, childhood memories and all of the familiar features. So, that she will never forget where she comes from. She begins to sing as she pet her cubs as they sleep soundly.
I hear the wind call your name
It calls me back home again
It sparks up the fire
A flame that still burns
Oh, it's to you
I'll always return
Yeah
I still feel your breath on my skin
I hear your voice deep within
The sound of my lover
A feeling so strong
It's to you
I'll always belong
Now I know it's true, yeah
My every road leads to you
And in the hour of darkness darlin'
Your light gets me through
Wanna swim in your river
Be warmed by your sun
Bathe in your waters
'Cause you are the one
I can't stand the distance
I can't dream alone
I can't wait to see you
Yes, I'm on my way home
Oh, I hear the wind call your name
The sound that leads me home again
It sparks up the fire
A flame that still burns
Oh, it's to you
I will always return
Wanna swim in your river
Be warmed by your sun
Bathe in your waters
'Cause you are the one
I can't stand the distance
I can't dream alone
I can't wait to see you
Yes, I'm on my way home
Oh, I hear the wind call your name
It sends me back home again
It sparks up the fire
A flame that still burns
Yeah, I'm on my way
I will always return
Yes, I will always return
I see every sun set
And with all that I've learned, oh
It's to you, I will always
Always return

Yes, she will be married twice. First to Robb Stark because she has greater claim to Winterfell if she has a son, so I thought to twist things a little to set her up in marriage arrangement, but the Red wedding will happen. Second will be Aegon Targaryen because since their mothers were best friends and she has claims to both Starfall and Winterfell so, he will try to claim her.
That all folks and please send me reviews and tell me what you think. See ya soon.
