A/N: I on nothing except my OCs. A Song of Ice and Fire is owned by George R.R Martin.

Review responses:

Hail King Cerion: No problem, glad we agree. I like House Reyne a lot to, while I only like a few of the Targaryens.

Guest (Marvelmyra) (1): I have no plans to pair him with Lysa.

(2): I would worship either them or the Seven Who Are One

(3): House Dayne is very cool, shame it`s not featured more in the books or TV show. The Starks are also cool, though my thoughts on Jon have soured thanks to Season 7.

-Eyrie, 275 AC-

Jon sat in his bedchambers located in the Moon Tower, looking through various letters he had received. Many of them were betrothal requests, most of them from Walder Frey. The Lord of the Eyrie sighed as he put yet another of Walder`s letters aside.

"That man is frighteningly persistent" Jon thought. Any further thoughts were interrupted by someone knocking on the door.

"My lord, it is me" he heard Maester Colemon call out. Jon rose from his desk and headed over to the maester. Opening the door, he let the maester enter his chambers.

"It is rare for you to come here yourself, maester" Jon stated.

"Aye, that is true" Colemon nodded. "However, a raven arrived this morning for you" he added. He handed Jon a small scroll, which the lord took. His eyes widened as he saw the seal, it was the falcon of House Arryn.

"Who could this be from?" he mentally asked. Breaking the seal, Jon opened the letter. It was from his nephew, Elbert Arryn.

"What is it about, my Lord?" Colemon asked.

"Elbert is visiting us" Jon replied.

"That is wonderful news" Colemon smiled.

"Maester, tell the servants to prepare a meal and a chamber for his arrival" Jon said.

"Of course, my Lord" Colemon bowed. "Should I tell Lord Artys, Lord Eddard and Lord Robert?"

"Please do" Jon nodded. Colemon left his lord`s chambers.


Jon stood in the Crescent Chamber along with Maester Colemon, his son Artys and his wards Eddard and Robert. Some servants were also present. As the doors of the reception hall opened, Elbert Arryn, a ten-year-old boy with blonde hair, sky blue eyes and an aquiline nose, entered the chambers with a pair of knights following him.

"Nephew, welcome to the Eyrie" Jon said as he stepped forth.

"Uncle, it has been a while" Elbert said, shaking Jon`s hand.

"You know Artys already, these are my wards" Jon pointed towards said wards.

"I am Robert Baratheon and this is Eddard Stark" Robert spoke.

"I am Elbert Arryn, nice to meet you" Elbert shook Robert`s hand and then proceeded to do the same with Eddard.

"Artys, would you please get Elbert and his men some refreshment?" Jon asked.

"Of course, please wait" Artys said. Elbert nodded and told his knights to do the same.

"Eddard, Robert, please follow Artys and help him if it is need" Jon asked his wards.

"Aye" Robert nodded.

"As you wish, Lord Arryn" Eddard bowed before following Artys.

"So uncle, where is cousin Alyssa?" Elbert asked.

"Not here I am afraid" Jon replied. "She is at Heart`s Home to get to know her betrothed, Lyonel Corbray."

"She is betrothed?" Elbert asked in surprise. Jon simply nodded in response. "I see, perhaps I should send her a raven to congratulate her."

"I am sure she would love that" Colemon smiled.

"Who are these knights with you?" Jon asked.

"We are here by orders of Lady Belmore" the tallest knight spoke in reply. "She tasked us with protecting Lord Elbert."

"Very well" Jon said in understanding. Artys then arrived with a pair of servants behind him. They were carrying trays with cups of tea, pumpkin pie and some bread.

"Here, think of this as your reward for making the climb up Giant`s Lance" Artys said.

"Thanks cousin" Elbert smiled. He shared the refreshments with his knights.

"Now Elbert, how would you like to be shown around the Eyrie?" Jon asked.

"That would be great Uncle" Elbert replied with a smile.

"Artys, take Robert and Eddard with you to your lessons" Jon said.

"Yes Father" Artys nodded. "Come on you two" he told the two wards.

"Let us get going then" Robert said as he walked of, Eddard and Artys trailing behind him. "Try and keep up you two" Robert chuckled, Eddard only sighing in response. Jon began to lead Elbert through the halls of the Eyrie.

"What made you take them in?" he asked his uncle.

"I suppose it was mostly because I befriended their fathers" Jon replied.

"Well that makes sense" Ebert stated. "I was hoping for something a little more exciting though" he said in disappointment.

"Most reasons tend to be simple, nephew" Jon smiled. "How is your mother doing these days?" he asked.

"Pretty well I would say" Elbert replied as they turned a corner.

"That is good to hear" Jon said.

"What about you Uncle?" Elbert asked.

"I am managing just fine, so is Artys" Jon replied.

"Good" Elbert smiled. The uncle and nephew walked through the halls of the Eyrie, they continued talking about various things.

A/N: And so Elbert Arryn is introduced. Fun fact, I was originally going to have Jon marry Rowena in this chapter, but that changed after I remembered Elbert existed. Also, just to clarify, Elbert was born in 265 AC, two years after Artys, in this fic. Also, this won`t be the last chapter told Jon`s POV, hopefully at least.

To answer last chapter`s question, my favorite Great House is a close tie between House Tyrell and House Martell (screw what they did to them in the show). My favorite noble House is either House Dayne or House Reyne. For this week`s question, what is your favorite episode of Game of Thrones? As usual, I`ll give my answer next chapter.

As always, thanks for all your follows, favorites and reviews. Have a fantastic evening and I`ll see you next chapter.
