The bastard of the north

I Lay in bed so cold and tried turning over to see my brother holding my children my two beautiful children one look just like me but with my husband hair so shiny as for the other one he looks like me it almost hard to tell if there my husband at all which is good. I whisper in my brother's ear saying in a soft tone "protect them please…protect my children Aegon and Lavette." All I see is black surroundings as I hear my brother calling out my name.

These days are long and pointless standing next to my sisters while they do needles and of course, there say wonderful thing to Sansa. Sometimes I wish there were more for me outside this wall. Ever since beating that kingslayer in a duel for fun father has forbidden me to leave these walls which are very unfair, but he is my father and lord of the north. I look around as I see people focusing on sansa. I jumped up and snuck out to see my brother teaching bran how to shoot. It is amusing how they think they are so much better at his age. I see bran miss the shot as my father says to the boy laughing "which one of you was a marksman at 11" they all stop giggling and encourage him to try again. The minute he tried ayra shoot before him. I was shocked that she did it but proud that my lesson was paying off. I see my brother as he to me rubbing my head.

Seeing my sister, filling myself with pride because of her teaching ayra, I look over to Catheryn as she stares at Lavette with hatred. I am mad at the fact that she treats her worse than me. Father has always had a soft spot for Lavette because she looks so much like Lyanna, it was like her reincarnation. Many people love her as well because she acted just like Lyanna, even king Robert was smitten with her only on her look. She walked off smiling as I went back to the stark to talk and smile.

After I left, I walked toward the stall looking up hoping to see Bran climbing but unfortunately, he was climbing today at least. So, I decided to get on my horse and ride to the outskirts of Winterfell and toward deep into the woods to be with Orion. I smile and think about it like I did yesterday. I just got my first horse when I had my 11th nameday and I decided to go out and hunt a deer. I wanted to prove to my father that I was better than everyone, looking back then I know I was very stubborn. As I was trying to kill a deer with a bow, my horse ran away. I was stuck in the middle of the wood right before a storm was about to hit. I walked toward the nearest cave to wait out the storm. Waiting for the storm so ride out I got bored so I decided to walk further oddly enough the place got warmer until I saw a rock-looking egg caked in by some mud. So, I started to wipe it off, my eyes widened when I found out it was dragon eggs. I decided to keep it and try and hatch to show everyone I am not the one to be messed with. My brother was strong and could manage bullying as for me I could not I was ridicule and hated treated worse than my brother by Catelyn. I did not want to be hurt anymore.
My father found out about the dragon egg and was furious to let me keep it, saying it was too dangerous and that people may kill it. He made me throw it in the fire to get rid of it. For the first time, I was mad at my father for trying to take something that could protect me where he could not. When he left, I watched as the dragon egg did not burn but instead glowed. Over the past few weeks, I refused to let anyone touch the fire pit to see if the dragon hatched. My brother and everyone were worried about me, but a lot looked away not caring about anything. One night I heard a screech and breaking which took me away. In the fire I saw a dragon climb out, shaking everything off. I stayed still as the dragon came close to me sniffing and hissing at me until it got in my lap to sleep. I was so happy that it hatched but I knew that if people found out they would hurt this baby... I had to admit he was right. The next day I took the dragon out, riding it back to the cave to let it grow. Over the years I watched it and fed it growing big and strong. I snap out of my thoughts as I enter the cave on foot grabbing a deer I got along the way. I led the deer in as a puff of fire burned the deer. Second, the fire caused a light that shone on the black dragon with a shiny coat that shone like diamond. I call him Orion; he is very temperamental, and he tried to kill me whenever I tried to ride him. I am still working but he is so hard to control so I just keep feeding and petting him whenever I get the chance. I stayed with Orion until later at night, I left him to ride back and tried to sneak in where I met father soon glared at me harshly.

I watch as Lavette left the place I worry about where she run off to every day, tried to send people but they always say they lost her, I waited and waited for my wife to ask if I was coming in of course she knew I wasn't until Lavette was back. She walked away angrily. I signed knowing I would be sleeping in the doghouse tonight but if that meant she is safe that is all I care about. I see her horse off a little bit so I decided to wait for her at the stable with a mad look of displease I said "you know if anyone else sees you they'll think that you're going off for a man thus running yourself." she jump turning around and said "hey dad…I'm just riding I love to ride and enjoy the outside…why should I care about people opinion everyone already talks about me and my brother…the bastard children of Ned stark so who care." I sing and rub her shoulder hugging her tightly saying " you're not bastard no matter what you are my children my flesh and blood...I care about you and john too much to let you destroy yourself, your brother is trying to go to the wall. With him gone it going to be different even now" she looks confused at me when I walk off a little saying "I am going to need you a lot more now than even. John Aryn is dead. The king is coming here to talk to me about me becoming the hand of the king...if I go to king landing, I need someone to protect the family while I am going. " she looks at me with a shock look bowing and kneeling she said, "father this is a huge honor as someone like me don't deserve thank you for allow me to serve and protect the stark family." I help her up hugging her saying "don't ever bow like that to and john are stark you hear never bow to a stark." she started to cry in my arm, hearing it break me a little. I tried for so long to stop them from being hurt so much but sometimes it does not work.

They stood like this for a while not talking or speaking, afterward, they left to get ready for the weeks to come. In the next week, the king and queen will come along with their children there the true story begins.
