A look to in alternate life for the life of the third son of the Direwolf .
Benjen
Benjen woke, and yawned ,he shrugged his dizzy limbs then he threw the cover in one move then stood, Benjen walked and saw the weak sun rays through the dusty closed glass window, he reached near the spare clothes that where lying where he used them if a feast was heald, Benjen took a bucket of water and put near the basin and took his light blue drier, he held his head near the basin then dumped the water on his face then took his light blue drier as he stretched it before cleaning his face and features then he took the cloth and folded it before putting it in place, Benjen wore his cape then boots then he adjusted his light blue shirt and dark grey breeches then wore his belt and left .
He sneaked near where the female servants took their rests and looked as they talked about what occurred and what not, they where mostly rumors, they did his favorite thing, as the old servants and young readjusted and belted their dresses around their midsection, he smiled and looked excitedly then after they finished and the thought of being caught alarmed him to turn sideways before running down the corridors, he wandered in the gardens, as he tried to walk on the same stony stands, then he jumped and marched through the plants, Benjen reached the flowers, he inhaled the flowing scent as it took over his lungs, anyway he had a small chest, it was said that his mother liked to come to the gardens and smell flowers, he left and headed towards the corridors as he touched the ancient stone keeps, it always mesmerised him how smooth they where sculpted and how grey they looked and how much time they held, he turned and left.
Benjen staggered as he reached the halls where the tables where servants put the meals, some put new meals while others collected old ones, he saw the high tables where his father ate and saw it empty with empty plates with little leftovers, which meant he ate and was in his Solar, he also Brandon eating with a smile and some female servants setting and smiling as they ate beside, probably because he entertained them with his stories, he sat in his usual place as a big chested old female servant put the plates and food while a young one added plates with food and left, he took the bread and sliced it before dipping it in honey and butter and munching then eating from a apple then he took the wine pitcher and poured the strong grape wine he liked then drank to pass the taste then he took three roasted blood sosages and bite, their taste he was used to then he cut a piece of his bread then dipped it in the roasted onion then he ate then he sipped some then bite from the roasted honeyed chicken thigh before emptying the goblet of wine.
He was passing the Weirwood tree when he saw something pass by him with speed so he looked and saw his sister Lyanna, she wore a simple muddied grey dress and her long thick brown hair was loose and the wind made it go everywhere, she looked fiercely with her long face and pointy chin and small dark grey eyes and broad smile, she looked at him mischouvisly then pulled his arms with her thin and slim body with her hands " Benjen it's morning, train me. " he smiled " is this how you treat your confidant, not even a good mornin. " she said " tis early so quick! ,good mornin. " he shook his head " what is the problem, I just woke a hour ago. " she turned sideways before saying " do it now, while father is away he is doing boring lordly sums, do it fast Ben. " he shrugged " one must keep his words and you know that you must give me what I told you. " she crossed her arms then made a disapproving sound before she said " but if father finished now he will send me with the Maester then the maids and maidens to learn how to act proper and you said morning when I can teach you swordplay. " Benjen looked neutraly before saying " that isn't my issue, know give me the sweets and the apple pies. " she breathed then opened her pocket in the dress and took out some sweets then took a bag and opened and took the six small apple pies and gave him he took them then he brought a wooden barrel and sat on top of it he said " did you bring your sword? " she nodded then changed into brown breeches and tunic and brought her wooden sword and started hitting then bag of pine then when she asked her instructed her with his hand then took some sweets and ate then he showed her how as she hit in different places, he took two apple pies and ate then he descended and gave her the areas then he sat again, she improved from before, he took other sweets and ate then as he watched her took another two apple pies and ate then wiped his hands in his clothes, Benjen showed her again before he finished the remaining sweets and apple pies and ascended with a jump she came and said " when will I be able to use a steel sword like you. " he said when you reach fifteen. " she nodded and left ,he took the chance to wear a grey padding and took his bustard sword and started practicing, as he thruster fluently, each strike measured and practiced, he hacked and slashed, moves he didn't teach Lyanna and kept to himself, he might teach her some if she didn't annoy him and give credit for herself, he opened the dummy in several areas then played with his sword before striking at the heart, he wiped the sweat and put his sword in place then took of the padding showing his thin and fit body, he wore his shirt then cape and left.
Benjen walked down the corridors that where close to his father's Solar, he came because his father wanted to, which was a rarety, it was something he wanted or said, he didn't know, he reached his father's Solar then opened the handle to the oak door then entered and closed quietly like his father wanted, his father, Rickard had a long face with sharp features, he had light grey eyes and small lines on his forehead,a handsome face and brown hair tied in a tie and a round cropped beard with small silver locks in his hair and beard with a tall and thick body with broad shoulders and chest, he looked calmly as he looked through the Parchment and didn't look up, Benjen said " you called for me? Father. " he still didn't look but said " take a seat. " he sat and raised his arms before his head " what do you need from me father I'm here. " his father looked closely before looking at him with his usual cool gaze " Benjen I heard you want to abide by tales of risk and imaginative examples. " he said " I like them there full of adventure and epic struggles. " his father said " I see given your age and the thrill that gives you and to be higher. " he grinned " aye their adventures and full of higher then life dangers. " his father's lips quirked " well you see not all stories are to be fulfilled, we in higher station keep distance from dangers and dangers aren't what you here, they are quite different. " he asked " do mean that some tales are of grandeur and not based on the world. " his father tapped on his desk with his fingers then said " come the next day I will teach you on my experience on the War of The Ninepenny Kings. " he nodded taken back by what he heard " and tell your sister sooner she will stop her farce and stop acting like a commoners girl and stop playing swordplay, I knew you where training her to fight for sweets, know you can leave. " Ben nodded then bowed as his father continued looking through the Parchments as he closed the door and while walking he tried to process what he just heard.
