Chapter 3: The deserter

Scar-face awoke to the sound of a passing raven, as he arose he looked out his window to see the courtyard in it's usual state. He prepared his Nordic armor for it seemed suitable for the northern region, as he entered the courtyard he saw Bran practicing his archery while his brothers watched along with Ned and Catlyn. Scar watched as the young stark tried his best to strike his target only to have his brothers chuckle at his failed attempts, "and which one of you were a marksmen at ten? keep practicing Bran." Bran then aimed his bow again only to say someone else hit the target, everyone turned to se Arya with the bow. Robb,Jon and Rickon then began laughing as Bran start to chase his sister, Scar-face even chuckled at the two young starks he then noticed ser Rodrik and Theon walking up to lord stark. Lord stark along with Theon and Rodrik began to walk to the stables but before Scar-face could follow he saw Lady stark give Jon a look as if almost disgusted by his presence, He then walked up to him "everything alright?" he asked "aye, just placing arrows back." he said trying to avoid the subject. "Well best be quick lord stark will have need of us." Scar-face then went to the stables to meet up with the warden of the north.

An hour had passed since the group left winterfell to reach the chopping block, Scar-face knew lord stark gave the last word but he wanted to meet the deserter for himself. And it wasn't long till two stark guards were bringing him forward, lord stark walked up to the deserter as did Scar-face and ser Rodrik but what caught Scar-face's attention was something the other two didn't see. He walked closer to the deserter which got a questioning look from lord stark "why did you leave the wall?" Scar asked "I...I saw white walkers." he said with fear very clear in his voice. Scar-face looked into the lads eyes and saw clear as day that something caused this much fear into a single man "lord stark, what are these 'white walkers' of what he speaks of?" he asked "creatures that had vanished thousands of years ago." lord stark answered "if they vanished what kind of creature can bring this much fear into a man." he said as he looked at lord stark "I don't know, but your right." he said as he also saw what Scar-face was seeing. "I will not ask you to free him lord stark, these are your lands and your word is law let judgement be just." Scar-face said as he walked back next to ser Rodrik, Ned began to think of what the right decision would be. "your sentence will be postponed until we learn the whole story, you have Scar-face to thank." the lord of winterfell then mounted his horse along with the others and road back to winterfell.

Arya and Sansa were eagerly awaiting there fathers return, they then saw their brothers and father ride in to winterfell with their banner men. Scar-face got off his horse while holding something, as he walked up to the stark girls they heard small yelping coming from him. He then presented them with two of the five dire wolf pups to which they were quite happy to hold "you two have Jon and your father to thank for them." he said "Scar-face, a word please." lord stark called the argonian then walked over to his lord "yes lord stark?" he asked "tell me, what do you know of the white walkers?" he asked "only what information that was given to me." he responded "and tell me why do you think the lad saw them?" he asked his sworn sword "because I have seen things that could cause that much fear lord stark." this caught lord starks attention. Before Ned said anything else Catelyn came holding a message "Ned...I'm so sorry." she said with sorrow evident in her voice.

Jon, Robb and Theon were getting their hair cut and shaved while the rest of the smallfolk were preparing for the king's arrival, Scar-face on the other hand was cleaning and sharpening his sword. As he was doing this he notice Bran running about with the pup he named summer who seemed to have grown quite well, he finishes with his sword and prepares for the kings arrival. During his time with Ned Scar-face learned about the king from him, but those were years ago and this would be the first time he would meet with the ruler of the seven kingdoms.

A/N: That's it for chapter 3, keep an eye out for the next chapter. P.S sorry if you notice a sort of time skip they kind of did it in the and I hope to keep more details in later chapters.
