Hello guys I'm back and the second chapter of the "Red Rose of Winterfell" is here and thanks for the first reviews and great support for the crossover story between Game of Thrones and RWBY. :D
Disclaimer: I own nothing of Game of Thrones and RWBY as the two franchises respectively belong to George R.R. Martin and HBO, the late Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth.
Enjoy and don't forget to review. :)
Looking at the skies of the North in the rooftops of Winterfell, Ruby Rose sat there all alone, recalling the nine years she had spent in Westeros whilst distantly watching the people of Winterfell go on with their daily lives below including Lord Stark and his family.
Taking a cleaning piece of cloth from her small pack, she wipes her Crescent Rose's scythe form to keep it sharp and sparkly clean including changing the ammo clips of her weapon's sniper rifle form before shifting it back to its storage mode for modifications.
Recently, she took off her eye-patch in deep thoughts that revealed a left cybernetic eye in replacement of her lost one from her last skirmish against Cinder Fall whom she had finally killed for attempting to take over the Vale and everything else in Remnant and looked at her combat glove that hid a right cybernetic metal arm to replace her lost one after an Ursa Grimm's vicious chomp, courtesy of her world's ever advancing technology but still has the need to conceal them for good reasons, considering the people of Westeros are very superstitious.
It has been over a decade since she was in the land of Westeros after finding herself in this strange new world mysteriously and then ended up in service of the Starks of Winterfell in the North.
It all happened when she was on a high-level and extremely dangerous Grim exterminating solo mission assigned to her as expected of being one of the best of the best Huntresses of Beacon Academy far outside the Vale and encountered an unknown powerful type of Nevermore where she had fought and nearly won with everything she got had not for the Nevermore that fired a large orb-like beam at her which had sent the red hooded Huntress to a new and unfamiliar territory and then wandered in lost direction.
And that is where she first met Eddard Stark or simply Ned as his nickname, the lord of Winterfell who was accompanied by two old wise men and a couple of mounted armored escorts armed with a variety of spears, shields and swords, riding horses as if she was in some sort of medieval fantasy book.
These small group of men took notice of her shortly in the forest as they then approached her with caution and asked the Huntress to come with her for questioning which Ruby complied without even struggling in needing to know what was going on around here and must find answers from these men.
When they arrived at the camp filled with many soldiers, knights in armor and men-at-arms of different colors arming themselves with many weapons of different types as if they were preparing for war, some or most of those men gave lust-filled and dirty looks and made bad or horrible jokes that made Yang's lame puns sound hilarious at Ruby Rose as she followed Ned and the others.
When they gone a bit too far, that is where she pointed her Crescent Rose's sniper rifle at their faces, threatening to shoot them dead on the ground if they touch her even a single hair. And when they didn't get the message, she shifted her weapon to its scythe mode and intimidated them greatly.
However Ned Stark stopped her from further escalating the tensions as he ordered the men to return to their duties and posts and then brought her to the tent where the men of importance or rather lords gather and held a meeting there where she introduced herself and status as a Huntress from the Vale and the old lord named Jon Arynn, with an sense of wisdom and eccentric charisma reminding her of Professor Ozpin, countered that he never heard of her before in his Vale before pointing out several locations of Remnant that made confirmations that she's in a different world now, supported with a one full moon.
And several hours later of explanation to her about a bit of Westeros and its history since she's a foreigner, the kidnapping of Ned's sister Lyanna Stark by Ray-gar or was it Rhaegar Targaryen?, the murders of Ned's brother and father, their rebellion against the Mad King Aries, or was it Aerys?, Ruby decided to tag along and help them to get justice for them in declaration which gave shocks and protests from the other rebel lords who believed that she's a Tyrell spy, if she heard right, and came to sabotage their cause, while some thought she was simply a camp follower who wanted to join the men's battle.
Jon Arynn and the other old man, Hoster Tully were kind enough to let Ruby be given a chance to prove herself with Ned Stark fully supporting her despite the protests that she's a woman and should not be involved in the affairs of men, that is until she brandished her weapon in front of them that surprises and silenced them of seeing a woman wielding an over sized scythe in order to prove her point.
When the matter has been was settled, Ruby Rose accompanied the rebel army to the place callled Stoney Sept where they must rescue Robert Baratheon, a person that Ned Stark called him like a brother, from the pursuing royal army led by some genderbend version of Pyrrha Nikos in shining knight's armor named Jon Connington.
Ruby Rose was no stranger to killing people since her first kill on a human being several years ago back at Remnant involving Cinder Fall and her allies that ruined her childhood innocence but had slowly gotten over it in the passing years as she charged in battle with Crescent Rose at the ready to kill alongside the rebel forces at the Stoney Sept.
During the Battle of the Bells, probably because of all the loud and annoying ringing bells of that city in a battle, the red hooded woman have distinguished herself in battle with her great combat skills of a Huntress and her trusty Crescent Rose that she had to carefully conserve her large supply of Dust ammunition she had brought along in that previous mission back at Remnant before being brought to Westeros by that damned Nevermore and had to use the scythe form of her weapon throughout the rest of the battle.
The soldiers and knights from the enemy side that she had single-handedly slaughtered in the Battle of the Bells feels very nostalgic as Ruby remembers how she took out a pack of Alpha Beowolves all by herself in the snowy area of the open field when she was 15 years old.
In the aftermath, she gained the trust and respect of the lords of the rebel forces, albeit some begrudgingly since they see her as a woman while Jon Arynn was grateful for saving his cousin's life and Ned Stark approving of her as he compared Ruby to his sister who wanted to fight with swords and would have been great friends if these chaotic circumstances hadn't happened.
For Robert Baratheon who appeared to be Ned's best friend, he is a type of person to get along and make great friends with as he praised of her skills after witnessing her in battle at the Stoney Sept and sharing stories and jokes together... but he really needs to respect a woman's personal space and virtue when that muscle of a man attempt to grope her and she responded by using Yang's move - grabbed a hold of Robert's manhood with her metal arm so hard, and threatened him that she will break every bone in his body if he do it again that Robert had painfully complied and then she let go of him to see him writhe in agonizing pain between his legs, amusing Ned Stark and few others who witnessed it.
Apparently, Ruby liked the nicknames given to her by the witnesses who saw her extraordinary and inhuman skills in battle, "Red Reaper" and "Red Rose". Probably because of her Crescent Rose's scythe form and her Semblance of speed that always leaves a trail of rose petals whenever she goes as fast as the wind. Even her Aura that protects her in battle made other men believe that it's magic and her being one of the children of the forest or Stranger's daughter for some reason.
Those two nicknames definitely suits her well for a Huntress and it struck fear into the hearts of men when she participated in the Battle of the Trident where she struck down more of the enemy forces from their horses and the ground with her Crescent Rose in scythe and sniper rifle form, and watches Robert kills Rhaegar in the chest with all his might of his iron spike warhammer, a powerful and fearsome weapon that made Cardin Winchester's mace look cute.
Noticing small sparks of ruby stones scattered all over the rivers of the Trident, the red hooded Huntress deadpanned wondered why did the Silver Prince wear such very penetrable armor that led to his downfall in this battle. In the aftermath, she witnessed Robert befriending his enemy Ser Barristan the Bold as he ordered the maesters to take good care of his injuries, some were bullet wounds that she fired in her sniper rifle fire.
Accompanying the northern host to King's Landing, the capital city Ned calls it, Ruby was shocked and mortified to see the entire place sacked and pillaged not by the Grimm but by the army of Lannisters according to the Stark lord upon looking at the lion banners. She watches them destroy everything, kill men and children. and rape women as they please, resulting to the Huntress quickly behead several or more Lannister men on their midst of enjoying themselves in a blink of an eye, and scaring the rest off in fear while Stark ordered his men to tend to help what's left of the city.
Following Ned and his men to the castle called the Red Keep, they found a person in golden armor and white cloak, and wielding a bloodied sword who might be passed off as Jaune Arc's long lost relative sitting on a throne bunched with many swords they call the Iron Throne that leaves Ruby to question about it in her mind later. And in front of them is the dead body of the Mad King Aerys Targaryen himself, killed by Ser Jaime Lannister, leading to Ned condemning him a "Kingslayer", breaker to his vows of the Kingsguard and a man with no honor.
If anyone who has common sense or an open mind, Ruby knew a good reason why Ser Jaime did it and if the Mad King was as really mad as everyone claims him to be when she was in this world, then the golden-haired knight had killed him to free Westeros from his reign of terror, so the vows to a mad man by good men are meaningless and he did it honorably to protect the innocent people of the city.
The Huntress tried to argue of this to Lord Eddard but he was too stubborn to listen and made his final decision, although stopped when Ser Jaime simply shook his head in silence as if he's willing to shoulder all the blame to himself and had already knew of her realization by looking at her face as he was taken away to the dungeons to face judgement of his actions.
Watching Ser Jaime being taken away by the northmen soldiers to custody, the red hooded woman felt sorry for him to be end condemned for doing the right thing that other people deemed 'dishonorable' particularly Ned Stark in their mindset but there was nothing she can do about it.
When Robert arrived to King's Landing to claim the Iron Throne as his, he was presented with the dead bodies of the mother and two children of the Targaryen royal family identified as Elia Martell and her children Aegon and Rhaeyns Targaryen wrapped in red cloaks by Lord Tywin Lannister accompanied by a large scale version of Cardin Winchester called Ser Gregor Clegane the Mountain who had killed them brutally that greatly pleases the Baratheon man.
This has disgusted Ned that his friend's personal vendetta against the Targaryens has gone too far and tried to convince Robert that they were innocent children, only for him to respond in malice that he sees are "dragonspawn". Hearing this have snapped Ruby into anger upon witnessing this atrocious sight and punched Robert in the face hard with her cybernetic arm, that left him bloodied in the nose and tumbling to the ground, and then tried to attack The Mountain with Crescent Rose but was stopped by a large middle-aged man in fur cloak Greatjon Umber who held her down under Ned's orders to be stopped.
The red hooded woman nearly gotten herself killed or rather maimed, which is ironic since she already lost it with the metal arm as replacement, for being reckless and impulsive, and not to mention of striking the new King on the Iron Throne which she doesn't give a shit about it as she watched Robert reeling in pain of the deserving blow she carried, had not for the elderly Arynn lord to settle matters peacefully to Lord Tywin Lannister of her actions with the old lion dryly commenting that women like her shouldn't be fighting in the field of battle before focusing in discussing on the more important affairs of the realm with Jon Arynn.
After calming down shortly when Greatjon released and kept an eye on her, Ruby swore that she will kill The Mountain in the opportune moment anytime soon and give that old fart of a golden lion a piece of her mind personally before Ned stormed off in anger, apparently heatedly arguing with his best friend over the deaths of an innocent mother and two children of the royal family, and asked her to accompany him to go further down south of Westeros to rescue his sister from the late Silver Prince's captivity.
Following Ned and several of his northmen companions to Dorne after assisting him in relieving Storm's End from a Tyrell siege and met Stannis Baratheon, a brother of Robert at one-time where they found the Tower of Joy and the three members of the Kingsguard, Ser Arthur Dayne, Lord Commander Gerold Hightower, and Ser Oswell Whent were guarding it with the young Stark lord attempting to convince them to surrender to no avail and engaged in battle.
During their skirmish that had left only Ned, her, Howland Reed and Lord William Dustin left, Ruby had to admit that these three guys from the Kingsguard are no pushovers in battle since they're nearly close of killing her and exhausting her Aura protecting her throughout the fight before they were eventually defeated and killed despite Ser Oswell's dark joke of they're not supposed to be hitting a woman which is her.
Noticing a trail of blue roses around the tower, the red hooded Huntress followed Ned entering the Tower of Joy while Howland tended to Lord William's wounds as the two witnessed Lyanna in a bed filled with blood and the same roses she saw. There, she witnessed a sad and tragic moment between the Stark siblings as Lyanna begs her brother for forgiveness for starting the chain of events with Rhaegar that had led to the deaths of her father and older brother and made him promise her to watch over her son she had gave birth to before dying peacefully in childbirth.
Shedding tears from her one eye sympathetically in witnessing a tragic event, Ruby watches Ned carry his sister's newborn son recently named Jon from his deceased sister's body and declared that his nephew will be his bastard son to her, Howland and Lord William who came later shortly after Lyanna died, explaining that with Robert still burning with hate to all Targaryens and anyone related to them, the babe will not be safe from his wrath if anyone finds out and tells him about it.
Agreeing with Ned since she was still upset with that musclebound oaf, the Huntress swore to keep Jon's parentage along with Howland and William as Stark have Wylla, a wetnurse take care of the babe as he took several stones from the Tower of Joy to mark graves of the fallen combatants and returned Ser Arthur's greatsword Dawn to the deceased famed and legendary knight's family despite Ruby's pouting protests of wanting to keep it for herself, clearly entranced by its beautiful pale steel, that he deemed it dishonorable.
Damn Ned and his bloody honor! He's so serious in every way and really needs to lighten up for once, including having a sense of humor.
Surprisingly, the death of Lyanna Stark had mended the friendship between Ned and Robert who shared their grief and sadness before they left in good terms including Ruby's since the Baratheon man felt a bit awkward towards her as the only women he never touched, stating that he deserved that hard blow in the face and nose she had gave him earlier.
When this rebellion has ended with that damned Robert crowned king on a very pointy chair, the Huntress was offered a place in the North at Winterfell by Eddard Stark, which she accepted in knowing that she had nowhere else to go after all the chaotic situation that has happened and needed a peace and quiet for once before trying to find a way to return to Remnant but might enjoy it here while she can.
At least pastries are around here in Westeros so she can make cookies to eat and enjoy as she followed Ned Stark and the northern host returning north back to their respective lands and castles and to their families, loved ones and friends.
The cold and snowy atmosphere in the North especially in short winters reminded her of the place where her mother's grave is and also where the skirmish between her and the Alpha pack of Beowolves. Ruby seemed to be chilling down her spine upon hearing House Stark's words: "Winter is coming" as a grave warning that will always be relevant no matter the circumstances than a boast or threat every time she hears that but had gotten used to it.
Although the term "Winter" reminded her of Weiss' sister that her old partner had mentioned back in their days at Beacon Academy, made Ruby think of a humorous pun out of it should she ever find a way back home to Remnant.
At Winterfell, Ruby Rose finds the ancient seat of the Starks in the North to be a sort of grim and cold opposed to other castles in the south from her perspective but a new place to call home as she settled herself in as part of the household. She witnessed Eddard burying his sister's remains within the crypts of Winterfell among his family's ancestors and his father and brother buried there.
She had met Benjen Stark one-time before the youngest Stark brother left for the Wall to become a member of the Night's Watch sooner after grieving for the near loss of his family members. She knew that pain after losing her mother who died in her last mission as a Huntress.
That is where she first met Lady Catelyn Tully who was married to Ned due to a marriage alliance between their Houses and gave birth to his firstborn son Robb. The lady wife of Stark had recently moved in from Riverrun with her household maids and Septa Mordane. It is also when the great distrust between women began when the Tully woman glanced cold and stern looks at the Huntress in suspicion when her lord husband introduced her to Ruby Rose who had fought beside him during the Rebellion as a reliable and loyal friend.
Recently, the red hooded Huntress discovered that she became a infamous figure of legend believed to be from the Age of Heroes or more specifically in Robert's Rebellion that the young girls of the southern Westeros can look up to in the songs and tales of the Red Rose herself and was very pleased of this since the sexism is very obvious to her around during Robert's Rebellion.
That is something that led to disapproval of the lady wife of Eddard, Septa Mordane and probably most of the southerner nobles except Dorne that already accepts women warriors but they could not stop the change whether they liked it or not.
Particularly in the North and beyond the Wall, women are expected to defend themselves with the Mormonts and the wildling spearwives as an example. Now the girls in the south wanted to become warriors no matter what their families either objected or supported it. Ruby even heard of a certain nobleman's only daughter from Tarth was among the inspired girls too.
Ruby think it's just a matter of concern and disbelief as they've been taught that such a thing is impossible for so many years, but she broke that cookie cutter, and believed that many people will see women in a different light due to it. The red hooded Huntress knew that they see her as some inhuman figure because of her extraordinary skills as a Huntress, but she's still someone that young girls can look up to.
This encouragement was further boosted after her participation during the Siege of Pyke as part of the northern host led by Eddard under King Robert against the ironborn during the Greyjoy Rebellion where she unintentionally saved a second son of Balon in that battle and later stopped an attempted rape on the wife and daughter of House Greyjoy by the men-at-arms afterward.
In the aftermath, the men held great yet still begrudging respect of the Red Rose in realization that women can be fearsome fighters not to be simply looked down upon including the old lion Tywin Lannister and Stannis Baratheon yet some persistently remained stubborn in their beliefs about women for the passing years as girls of the south were encouraged to carry a weapon and learn how to fight rather than do boring ladylike stuff.
Returning to Winterfell after the ironborn rebellion quelled, Ruby Rose was sometimes distant but fun and caring to Ned's children including Jon Snow and Theon Greyjoy as she spends time with young Robb, Jon and Theon in fun and games with the snow and hide-and-seek, watches over young Bran and Rickon as well as telling stories to them, encourages Arya to learn how to use a sword and a bow and arrow and to fight as well, and managed to convince Sansa to not always act like a "proper lady" all the time and loosen up for once while allowed to retain some of the ladylike mannerisms and was encouraged to join Arya in her "unladylike" activities much to their mother and septa's utter dismay.
She doesn't mind being called "Aunt Ruby" at all since she's an unofficially part of their small happy family in the North much to Catelyn's chagrin.
As for Lady Catelyn Tully, er Stark now, the wife of Eddard, Ruby Rose finds the daughter of Hoster Tully to be a loving and caring mother to her five children as expected of the latter's House's words: "Family, Duty, Honor". Something that she missed her mother so much since her unfortunate death, leaving a tear in her right eye in sad memory of the late Summer Rose.
But where was such words when Lady Stark had mistreated Jon Snow with cold resentment and uncaring look every time she glances at him? Same goes for Theon Greyjoy too when he was a ward or rather a hostage of the Starks but it was just a small issue since he was raised well under Ned Stark's roof over his head.
Although, one thing that infuriates her the most of all is that there's a real nasty rumor that Ruby Rose is the mother of Jon Snow among the gossiping household maids and staff of Winterfell!
Who the hell in the right mind would someone think of that? Clearly everyone knows that she and Ned Stark have a good mutual friendship for nine years as a loyal household member under service of House Stark and whoever made that rumor must be a sick person.
She believes that it was meant as a spite to the Red Rose by those who think that Ned Stark's bastard's mother is her.
All this keeping a secret of Jon's parentage by Ned Stark will only bring more sadness to the poor boy and it makes her upset because of that so then Ruby decided to tell Lady Catelyn the truth alone and out of ear's reach. The lady of Winterfell was ashamed of her actions and didn't live up to her House's words after hearing the truth of Jon's origins from the Huntress. Thanking Ruby for telling her this, Catelyn forgave her lord husband who glared icily at Ruby which she pretended not to notice and whistled innocently, and treated her secret nephew as one of her own while swearing to keep it a secret.
Because of that, that dirty rumor had died down slowly shortly and it was no longer spoken of ever again in the North since Lady Stark took care of Jon Snow as a mother she's supposed to be alongside with her own five children much to Ruby's relief and brandished her scythe at anyone who dared to try do that again or rather she double dared them to.
However, the distrust by Lady Stark hasn't dissipated as she was very frustrated to the fact that Ruby Rose was a bad influence to her daughters that she and Septa Mordane worked hard to raise them as proper ladies of Winterfell and her sons and secretly her nephew were all goofing around with the Huntress instead of taking seriously of their duties and studies which the warden of the North had put a stop to it but later allowed them to continue in a timed schedule much to Catelyn's chagrin and Ruby's amusement.
During those passing nine years with the Starks in the North, Ruby Rose would sometimes leave Winterfell for a hunt in the northern lands for food and game for the great keep's supply or a journey around Westeros or even across the Narrow Sea to better understand the world better but will always come back to the Starks several or more months later.
Recently she had a Valyrian steel collapsible long war-axe in her possession that the Huntress named "Winter's Howl" as a spare weapon of choice should any problem occurs with her Crescent Rose and it is a very good melee weapon to use in battle that she had found from one of her journeys that she considers it worth keeping for herself.
Valyrian steel? Pfft. The true nature of Valyrian steel, the fact that it's not steel at all, it's actually titanium. Light, strong, very dull grey. With spells and magic placed on it similar to Dust is what that makes it special and with dragonfire being the only thing hot enough to get the metal to completely melt. Ruby recently discovered this when given a chance to take a look at Ice, House Stark's ancestral greatsword and also her Winter's Howl.
In Remnant, titanium metal is well-known and is used on structures, equipment, vehicles and weapons of the Hunters and Huntresses, etc. while in Westeros, titanium as Valyrian steel were scarce and costly as they are known to be as treasured heirlooms of the noble houses, each with its own name and storied history.
As for the late Ser Arthur Dayne's greatsword Dawn, Ruby suspects that the blade is made of a metal forged from the heart of the fallen star and had the same properties of Valyrian steel or rather titanium in her perspective upon taking a look upon it in a few hours before Ned insisted that Dawn should be returned to the deceased knight's family for his successor of the "Sword of the Morning" to inherit it much to her chagrin nine years ago.
And also she had her own forge in Winterfell next to Mikken's to create her own new type of bullets made of gunpowder and rare titanium from a few Valyrian steel daggers she had found from her journeys or castle-forged steel that she had ingeniously created in order to compensate for her slowly depleting Dust ammunition supply and some new parts to maintain her primary weapon.
After finishing her recollection of the passing decade in deep thought, Ruby finished cleaning her Crescent Rose and put it behind her back before noticing Bran Stark climbing on top of the rooftops of Winterfell again shortly that she simply smiled of the youngest Stark's remarkable talent he had developed from a young age that always gave his mother great worry for him.
"Aunt Ruby! Aunt Ruby!", Bran called out happily.
"Oh, it's you little lord. Come here.", the Huntress said as she covered her left cybernetic eye with her eye-patch once again from anyone seeing it.
The young Stark boy sat next to Ruby and spoke to her, "Did you hear that the king is coming here to Winterfell with hundreds of people? Mother had everyone prepared for the royal visit I bet there are noble knights and ladies of the court in the royal party!"
"Of course Bran. I've heard the news so far and everyone in Winterfell gotten so very busy preparing for Robert's royal visit with half the court he brought along. Heh. It's been nine years since I last saw of him since his Rebellion and also the Greyjoy Rebellion. I wonder what he looks like now in the royal visit.", she said about the upcoming royal visit to Winterfell by the Baratheon himself.
"Father always tells stories that the king is a strong and mighty warrior in battle and has a giant warhammer that he used it to crush Rhaegar Targaryen in the chest at the Battle of the Trident that you were also there too. Someday, I will be a great knight of the North when I grow up!", Bran spoke enthusiastically with dreams of becoming a noble knight of his House to be proud of by his family.
"And a great climber too.", Ruby added with Bran smiling proudly of his climbing talent.
Turning attention to Arya and Sansa trying out the bow and arrow with Robb, Jon, Rickon and Theon watching bemusedly as the two Stark sisters appeared to be competing each other on who gets to hit the center mark of the targets with their respective direwolves watching their masters, Ruby Rose and Bran Stark smiles and laughs before noticing Septa Mordane started chasing after the two shortly after they hit the centers together and then ran away from their mother's septa with the boys egging them to run faster, clearly wanting them to get back on their boring sewing lessons.
"I've heard you've got six direwolf pups and congratulations, little lord. Direwolves are the sigil of House Stark just like the Targaryens with their dragons before they sadly died out. You know, I once had a dog too named Zwei. Do you have names for them?", the black-and-red haired woman said, changing the subject.
She remembered about the six direwolf pups brought to Winterfell from its dead mother on the road at some point of time after Bran's first time witnessing his father carrying out the old way of the North on the Night's Watch deserter with Ice despite Lady Stark's protests.
The direwolf pups were so cute just like her dog when Ruby squeals like a little girl upon looking at them in first sight, surprising the Starks and the people of Winterfell of her love for cute animals.
"Well, um... Robb named his Grey Wind, Arya called hers Nymeria after the legendary Rhoynar queen from Dorne, Sansa named hers Lady, Rickon called it Shaggydog and Jon named his own Ghost.", the young Stark boy answered to her.
"And your direwolf, Bran. What about yours?", Ruby wondered in curiosity.
"I.. I am not sure Aunt Ruby. I can't think of a name for my direwolf yet.", Bran replied in a conflicted tone.
Rubbing his head affectionately, the Huntress gave a warming assuring to young Stark boy. "Don't worry. I'm sure you can, Bran. I think it would be a wonderful name for your direwolf."
"Brandon!", a familiar voice called out loud to the two from below and its tone is that of frustration and anger as Ruby and Bran looked down below bemusedly.
It was Lady Catelyn Stark herself fuming upset at the sight of her own youngest son climbing again with the red hooded Huntress beside him and Bran's little direwolf was at her side with some of the denizens of Winterfell looking amused or snickering silently including Maester Luwin accompanying the lady wife of Ned Stark.
Coming from the looks on the lady of Winterfell, she was not very happy. Not very happy at all. As always. What a grouchy woman Lady Catelyn was just like Glynda Goodwitch who's been like that since their first meeting back at Remnant.
"Go on, little lord. Your mother's calling for you. Best brace yourselves.", Ruby playfully said with a rub on Bran's head as she then watches him climb down from the rooftop to face his mother and get scolded again for climbing as usual.
Looking farther north of Winterfell, the Red Rose got up from her high sitting spot of the ancient keep as she silently muttered the words of the Great House of Westeros she had served before jumping down with two feet on the ground with trails of red rose petals following behind as the Huntress decided to help the Stark family prepare for the upcoming royal visit of King Robert and his royal party...
