As the sunlight filtered through the trees, Jon stood in silence, his eyes closed, feeling the warmth of the sun on his face. Tears lingered in his eyes, marking the bittersweet moment. The presence of Lyanna and Rhaegar had faded, leaving Jon in solitude. Suddenly, Xerneas approached him, addressing him as "Aegon." Jon turned towards Xerneas, feeling grateful for the chance to meet his long-lost mother. It was a warmth he had yearned for, a connection he had been denied all his life.
Xerneas gently instructed Jon to bid farewell to his family, promising to await his return. An elk, the same one that had carried him to Xerneas before, came forward, offering Jon its back. Jon approached the elk and glanced back at Xerneas, who nodded in acknowledgment. With a determined heart, Jon mounted the elk, its back sturdy beneath him.
As they began to move away, Jon couldn't help but look back at Xerneas until the legendary creature vanished from his sight. Along the journey, he was joined by the mother direwolf and her pups. The pups, full of energy, bounded around the elk, while the direwolf watched over Jon with a steady gaze. Eventually, the direwolf and her pups stopped following, but the elk continued its journey, leading Jon back towards Winterfell through the wolf woods.
Winterfell stirred with concern as Jon's sudden absence was noticed. Eddard wasted no time in organizing a search party to find him. Arya was the first to raise the alarm about Jon's disappearance, drawing attention to the matter that had initially gone unnoticed amidst the awe of the previous night's miracles.
Initially, guards were dispatched to scour the vicinity of Winterfell, hoping to locate Jon nearby. However, as time passed without any sign of him, the search expanded into sending out a full-fledged search party to comb the surrounding areas. Eddard himself joined the effort, fearing that Jon might have ventured into the woods alone, especially given the recent increase in wild animal activity.
As Eddard rode his horse with his men towards Wolf's Wood, he couldn't shake off the worry gnawing at his heart. He hoped and prayed that nothing untoward had happened to his nephew, Jon.
Meanwhile, back in Winterfell, Catelyn experienced a moment of happiness, though she push such thoughts aside. Despite her conflicted feelings about Jon's identity, she had never harbored ill will towards him as a child. Though she had never openly expressed affection for Jon, she couldn't deny her concern for his well-being.
Instead of heading to the Sept as usual, Catelyn found herself drawn to the Godwood, despite her unease about the weirwood tree's presence. However, as she approached the ancient tree, she felt a sense of serenity wash over her. With a mixture of hesitation and hope, she knelt before the weirwood tree, offering prayers for Jon's safety without reservation.
Among the Stark siblings, Arya felt the most anxious about Jon's disappearance. Even though Robb and Sansa tried to appear composed on the outside, deep down, they shared Arya's concern for Jon's safety. Meanwhile, Bran decided to climb the old tower in Winterfell, hoping to spot Jon from the height.
In the courtyard, Theon, with a mocking tone, questioned Robb about Jon's whereabouts, referring to him as a "bastard." Robb's response was sharp, commanding Theon to be silent. With a stern glare, Robb's rebuke silenced Theon immediately. As Robb walked away, Theon muttered curses under his breath, discontent with Robb's sudden change in demeanor.
