Jon III

After Arya went to see whoever she wanted to see, Jon approached Ghost, with a smile in his face, and he guided his hand through the white wolf's fur. The wolf was now only a few inches smaller than Jon.

"I missed you boy." Jon said, with his smile to the direwolf, who looked at Jon in the eyes. It had been a while that Jon felt such Nostalgia. He looked at Winterfell, with the Stark banners, and his bannermen from the North and the Vale.

"You never told me you had a direwolf." His queen said, catching him offguard.

"You thought you were the only one with creatures the filled people with wonder and awe? Back when my brother was King in the North I was told that there were stories about him and his direwolf, riding into battle fiercely together. I even heard there were stories about me and my direwolf, Ghost of the battle of Castle Black. This might be the last direwolf for all I know."

"If I touch him will he bite my hand of?f"

"No, unless I tell him to. But, I do think Daenerys One-Hand has a ring to it" Daenerys laughed at Jon's small joke.

Daenerys then took her right hand's glove off and held it with the other. Her naked hand gently touched Ghost's white fur, who allowed Daenerys to pet him.

"See" Jon said, "He likes who I like, hates who I hate and loves those I love"

After a while she withdrew her hand from the direwolf and slid it back into her glove but the direwolf remained seated next to Jon.

"So, this is Winterfell." Dany said taking a look around the castle."Would you like to show me around your castle lord Snow?"

"Aye, but I'll only be able to show you the chambers tonight." He said. They were now close to one another, locking into eachother's eyes and both leaned in for a long, soft and tender kiss which was only broken apart by a familiar voice calling out "Jon!".

Jon recognized the voice as Samwell Tarly's, he turned to where the shouting came from, and he saw his old friend, Sam walking fast towards him.

"Sam!" Jon shouted happily, catching his old friend within his arms when they were in reach of eachother. After a short moment he broke the hug, and faced his friend."How's Gilly and her son?"

"They're good. And that I presume is Daenerys Targaryen?" Sam said, a bit stressed, Daenerys didn't want to answer, she was a bit saddened to have to look into the eyes of a man whose brother and father died at her hands, Jon expected this would happen, but knew Sam wouldn't stress over it."Don't trouble yourself with it, we have bigger concerns to deal with." Sam's answer referring to the execution of his kin had made the queen smile a little, but even Jon knew that despite what she openly said, she felt remorse for killing Dickon Tarly.

"You're right, we have bigger concerns to deal with" Jon said trying to change their conversation's mood. "The wall fell and we nee-"

Sam cutted him : "Jon, your brother Bran and I..." Sam couldn't find his words, but Jon knew what Sam was about to say. "We found out something about your mother-"

"It can wait Sam, we have bigger concerns." Jon said, he thought he'd wasted enough time anyways, though he was curious.

"-and your real father." Sam ended. Jon looked at him curiously

" What do you mean?" Jon asked, he didn't understand. Who else but Eddard Stark could be his father? Jon looked exactly like a Stark too, more so than his other siblings. But Sam wouldn't be the kind of person to make unbased claims like that, Jon thought.

"I'll take you to your brother, he'll explain it better than I can." Sam said. Jon then looked at Daenerys and told her "I'll be back". He then followed Sam who started to walk towards the godswood, where Bran probably was. Jon looked back at Daenerys, who had a worried look on her face, like she had the feeling it wouldn't end well.

"How did you find about it?" Jon asked

"I had documents from the citadel. And your brother, he says he's something called "the Three-Eyed Raven", he has visions from the past and the present." Sam said.

"How can you be so sure he's not just mad?" Jon asked, still shocked by the fact that he'd learn his true parentage soon.

"Don't worry, he can prove to you they're real..." Sam said.

They were now inside the godswood, and Jon saw his brother sitting in a chair with wheels, near the heart tree. He was still a cripple, not that it surprised Jon, but he still hoped that one day Bran could walk again. Though when he saw Bran's face, he didn't need anyone to tell him that his brother had changed, a lot. His everlasting curiosity had allowed place to a more bored face, like it had no emotion.

"Bran." Jon said, hugging his brother, who also gave him a hug back, though it felt forced.

"What do you know of Robert's Rebellion?" Bran asked, which came as a surprise to Jon. He didn't knew how to answer. Why would he ask me that? Jon asked himself. He still went on and gave an honest answer:

"I know that it started when our uncle and Grandfather were burnt by the mad king, before he sent a letter ordering Jon Arryn to bring him Robert Baratheon and Ned Stark's head, which escalated into a full-blown rebellion that ended with the death of Rhaegar Targaryen at the Trident and the sack of King's Landing by Tywin Lannister. I also know at the end of the rebellion Father brought me back and gave me the life of a bastard." Jon said.

"But before Brandon Stark and Rickard Stark went to King's Landing, Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen ran away together." Bran said.

"I thought Rhaegar kidnapped her-" Jon said before being cut off by Bran.

"They fell in love. Robert was only jealous of Rhaegar and spreaded the lies that he kidnapped Lyanna. And after Rhaegar annulled his marriage to Elia Martell, he married Lyanna. Later, at the end of the war, Ned Stark and Howland Reed found her in a tower Rhaegar called The tower of Joy. She died giving birth to the trueborn son of Rhaegar Targaryen ; the true heir to the iron throne. She named him : "Aegon Targaryen". And Ned promised to keep the baby safe, passing him off as his own bastard, you : Jon Snow."

"You're saying that I'm supposedly a Targaryen, when I have no Targaryen features? When I'm the one person who looks the most like Father? I don't believe you." Jon said, he didn't believe any word of what Bran was saying.

"He didn't knew whether or not you'd have Targaryen features, if you did he would have said you were Ashara Dayne's bastard, because of the similar characteristics the Daynes and Targaryens have, but the Stark side took more features, and Father didn't had to say who your mother was. Did you really think Ned Stark bedded another woman?" Bran said.

Jon started to realize that he did believe what Bran was saying, but he didn't want to believe it :

"No, you're lying I know it!" He said, but Bran replied to him with a statement that silenced every bit of doubt Jon had, that proved to him that he wasn't lying.

"You know nothing Jon Snow." Bran said.

And Jon stormed out of the godswood, he knew what Bran said was true but it was too much to take in. The name Jon Snow was a lie, and his whole life was a lie.
