The Westeros native saw three words appear on the screen, as the wolves continued to howl Winter is coming.
The starks and the northerners were shocked at seeing the words, Eddard hope that this is the answer he has been patiently waiting for. To know the fate of his sons and ward.
They see 6 armored dire wolves to their shock; Arya is the first to react "Dad those are Dire wolves" though the Lady stark and Sansa did not approve of her un lady like behavior they couldn't help but agree.
Tyrion looked at lord stark and asked him "lord stark, do dire wolves still exist in the north."
Eddard answered after thinking about it, "they haven't been this far south of the wall in over 600 years, according to the maesters." Tyrion nodded at his answers, and they continued to look at the flame.
5 armored riders rode along the road rushing to their destination. Then the one in the lead stops his horse when he sees the dire wolves coming, he raised his hand in what could be considered a stop motion, the other 4 riders followed his lead and stopped as well.
The first of the five is dressed in dark blue and red clothing, chainmail can be seen under the clothing, meaning it is armor-like and made for long distances. His bracers have a grey dire wolf etched onto them.
He can be seen carrying great sword, that is strapped to his back, and it looks finely made for a man his age.
The young man's features are then shown, he is a man with long auburn hair and a beard that is slowly growing in, his blue eyes can be seen, and his attire seems to have further brought out his eyes.
Surveying the area around him, he appears to be in a wary state asking himself, why did the dire wolves stop.
Soon as Ned and Catelyn saw the young man in the flame or what Renly began calling 'the seeing stone'.
They knew the young man is their son Robb Stark, something Sansa, Arya and Bran noticed.
"Is that Robb?" Sansa nervously asks her father.
She barely remembers her older brother but seeing his auburn hair and blue eyes that are like her own and their mother, Sansa had a feeling the young man in the flames is her brother.
Lord Stark nods to his daughter, for he can see some of his Stark features in his firstborn son, though the Tully coloring nearly hid it completely.
"Aye Sansa, that is Robb. He is built like my older brother, Brandon," Ned answers his firstborn daughter.
"Gods, Ned, that son of yours looks like a true warrior," King Robert compliments his friend.
Catelyn could not help but cry upon seeing her son for the first time in years.
"He has grown so much since I last saw him," Catelyn said sadly once she saw her firstborn son.
"That he has Cat, that he has," Ned says as well, agreeing with his wife.
The second man behind him is dressed in lighter clothing as his friend before him, however, unlike the man in front of him, his clothing colors are brown, grey and faded green.
A kraken can be seen on him, unlike Robb's, the logo is on his chest armor instead of his bracers.
His weapon a trident, to the surprise of those in the dragon pit.
As well as having dark hair and eyes and has a smirk of arrogance.
"That's Theon!" Yara yells out to her father.
Balon looked unimpressed by his last living son. He looks both disappointed and disgusted by how his son is dressed.
"He is no son of mine, a true iron born wouldn't dress as he does. He has forgotten his roots!" Balon spat back to his daughter with venom in his voice.
Ned Stark, however, defends Yara and takes her side.
"You have lost two of your sons because of your stupid rebellion Balon Greyjoy, and yet you have no love or regard for your last living son?" Ned said rather bluntly.
Only for the disgraced Lord of the Iron Islands to scoff at him.
"I'll father more sons once this is over! The iron born will never follow him, such a disappointment. I bet he didn't even pay the iron price for that pretty trident!" Balon fired back at Lord Stark and mocked his son's weapons.
Lyra Mormont is about to bring out her sword once Balon insulted her liege Lord, only for Lord Stark to stop her with a simple hand gesture from making a scene, though Tyrion saw this and smiled.
"You are a good man, Lord Stark, if your bannerman are so eager to defend you, even towards the slightest insult towards you," Tyrion said to him with an impressed tone in his voice.
Lyra Mormont could be seen glaring at both Balon and Yara, it was well known of the hatred the people of Bear Island have towards the iron born and Lyra is known in the North to be just as loyal to the Stark as her mother and older sisters, even the smallest insults are threats to the Starks in her eyes.
"Come my girl. Ignore that stupid old cunt. He is not worth the mess on your blade." Maege guided Lyra back to her seat, before sitting down herself.
Not far from the Northerners, Prince Oberyn observed Balon Greyjoy's complaints in silent disgust. As a father to many children, the prince was outraged by the iron born apparent lack of affection for his own children.
The only reason why he didn't gut the squid lord where he sat was that his paramour Ellaria was soothing him. Even his three daughters, angered as they were by Greyjoy's words, did their best to curb their father's temper.
The flames show the third man, who was by far the oldest out of the four. With long black hair, 'ghost grey' eyes, and a plain pale face that like Robb, he had a look of wariness at the sight before him. Albeit more subdued.
Thinner than Robb yet broader than Theon, the man was wearing a fine chainmail shirt under a blue and white surcoat. The surcoat sported a red flayed man on pink de sangs on the front, The surcoat was secured by a fine leather belt that held a hand-and-half sword in a blue sheath. Two steel pauldrons were fastened under the surcoat, as well as steel bracers of similar design. The young man was a natural horseman, given how well he was riding his horse.
"Domeric," said Roose Bolton in a hushed tone.
Lord Rickard Karstark was close enough to hear him. Knowing that Lord Bolton had not seen his son in years, he decided to speak to the Lord of the Dread fort in a respectful tone.
"Your son looks well Lord Bolton. From what I can tell of his appearance, he must be a landed knight."
"Aye. The boy was always an excellent horseman. He was mad about horses, riding like the wind," Roose said, still in his hushed tone.
Renly noticed the decorations on the young Bolton's armor and couldn't help but be impressed at the design.
The flames show the fourth man, a somewhat fat young man of similar age to Gendry, with dark *hair, pale eyes, and a moon-shaped face. He wore dark red woolen clothes and dark brown boots and carried a dwarven bearded axe in his left hand.
When Samwell Tarly appeared, Lady Melessa began to cry at the sight of her firstborn son being alive all this time. Then suddenly slapped her husband in the face. "You told me, he drowned!" She yelled at Randyll, whose face is already red from the slap.
"He did drown, or what one of the knights said to me when he dived in to retrieve the piglet," Randyll said in an emotionless tone.
Dickon looked at his father in disbelief, while Talia shook her head at how cruel their father was.
"Why didn't you try and save him?" Dickon indignantly asked his father. Randyll turned to his second son and gave him a stern and unrepentant look.
"I wanted to make a man out of him, not the little piggy he once was. No Lord of Horn Hill is going to be a damn book-loving craven," Randyll spat out.
Tyrion cocked a brow at that statement and got Tywin Lannister's vibes from the Lord of Horn Hill. While Prince Oberyn felt nothing but disgust for Tarly. Oberyn may only have fathered bastards, but even he tried to be a good father for each of his girls.
The flames show the fifth and final riders, a young man with long dark brown hair, a barely noticeable stubble beard, and grey eyes so dark they could be mistaken for black at first glance.
He is dressed in dark blue and red clothing, chainmail can be seen under the clothing, meaning it is armor-like and made for long distances. His bracers have a grey dire wolf etched onto them. Just like Robb.
He can be seen carrying sword, that is strapped to his side, and it also looks finely made for a man his age.
'He's alive. my boy is alive!' Ned thought.
Ned Stark could hardly believe that one of the riders was actually Jon and couldn't help but notice how much he had grown since the last time he saw him all those years ago.
"You alright, Ned?" Robert asked, clearly concerned about his dear friend.
"I am fine, your grace. I am just happy to know both of my sons are alive and well," Ned replied to his friend.
Robert nodded before taking a good look at the flame, then looking back to Lord Stark. "Seven Hells! He's your spitting image, Ned! Gods! Our bastards look so much like us, when we were lads," the king said with pride in his voice. Even Jon Arryn had to take a double look, before letting out a chuckle.
"His grace is right, Ned. The boy is your spitting image," Jon Arryn complimented his former ward.
After all, Jon Snow is named after him. The Hand of the King was touched to know that Ned named one of his sons after him, trueborn or not.
They continued watching the flames, Jon spoke up
In the Flames,
"Why are we stopping?" he told Robb.
Robb looked at his brother, "Grey wind, sense darkness nearby."
Jon looked at his own dire wolve and confirm what Robb said, "seems like Ghost is picking up on it too."
In the Dragon Pit,
Arya looks at the two wolve name Ghost and Grey wind, "they are so big" Lyanna and bran agree with her. They are the same size as the horses her brothers are riding on.
In the Flames,
They hear screams coming from a nearby village and they rush go to see what could cause it. As the get closer they could see villagers running from dragon spawns.
in the Dragon Pit,
The westerosi natives are shocked at the monstrosities they are seeing.
A terrifying creature born from the shadows; its very existence is a blight on the world. a twisted, humanoid form, its body a mass of writhing darkness that seems to shift and writhe like a living shadow. Its skin is a deep, midnight black, and seems to absorb the light around it, leaving only an aura of malevolent energy.
Glowing red eyes burn with an otherworldly fire, filled with malice and hatred for all living things. Long, spindly limbs end in razor-sharp claws, capable of tearing through steel and flesh with equal ease. A twisted, horn-like protrusion sprouts from its forehead, pulsing with dark energy.
As it moves, the Dragon Spawn leaves behind a trail of shadowy tendrils, like grasping fingers that seek to ensnare and drag its victims into the darkness. It's very presence draws the light out of the world, leaving only a cold, dark void in its wake.
This is the Dragon Spawn, a creature of pure malevolence, born to bring terror and despair to all who cross its path.
The women screamed and the children had chills running through their body at just seeing the abomination. Those that are warriors had to steel themselves, so their fear does not overcome their senses.
In the Flames,
Robb rushed forward and the others followed him, he started screaming orders. "Jon, help the guards defend the village, Domeric save as many civilians as you can, Theon make sure non leave here alive and Samwell head to the village hall to see who needs any healing."
All five went to their destination breaking their flying wedge formation. With the dire wolves rushing to help any in need.
In the Dragon Pit
No one was prouder than Ned Stark, seeing his son leading the charge to save the helpless.
"Honorable as his father." Lord Karstark said to his liege lord.
In the Flames,
Jon reached the village guards who were locked in combat with the foul beasts, he jumped off his horse into the air, Jon screamed, "Hiken!". He turned his fist into flames and launched it as a dense column of fire downward at his target, burning them.
In the Dragon Pit,
To say everyone was speechless was an understatement.
Tyrion was the first speak what everyone was thinking, "what, the fuck."
The blackfish could not help but agree with the expression, "I agree lord Tyrion, this is madness."
Melisandre had a glint in her eyes, she knew it, this was Azor Ahai, the prince that was promised. She stood up catching the attention of all in the dragon pit, "the prince that was promised, the chosen champion of the lord of light."
Her followers in the dragon pit were wide eyes with her declaration, Stannis wife Selleys said, "Praise the lord of light."
The Lannister looked at Eddard stark bastard with a glare, Cersei already see the boy as another threat to her son throne.
Eddard Stark looked at what just happened, he is beginning to worry, was that because of Jon heritage he thought to himself.
The Dornish and Reach men all had the same expression, shock and bewilderment at what they just witness.
Shireen ask ser Davos a question, "Are you familiar with that language Ser Davos?" catching the attention of everyone, who just realized that the bastard of lord stark spoke in a foreign language.
Ser Davos looked at her and answered "No, my Lady, I've never encountered it, must be from the realm of Dakour." she nodded satisfied with the answer.
Bran spoke next and caught the attention of the adults, "Do you think that's what Gendry meant when he said they have powers."
Renly looking at the young Stark, "it might be young stark."
He looks at his brothers and asks "do you think Gendry power is stronger than lord starks son" to his surprise its Stannis who answers.
"Yes, our nephew was holding back." Robert looked at his younger brother and couldn't help but agree.
On the northern side Arya took offense, "Jon is stronger than your nephew" Bran and Lyanna agreed with her.
Her mother tried to chastise her, Eddard had a smile on his face, while Robert laughed.
Tyrion looked at Renly, "How about a bet, lord Renly."
Renly look at him, he continued speaking, "I bet 100 gold dragons that your nephew is not the strongest."
Robert intervened before Renly could speak, "ha! I'll take you up on imp, my son is the strongest out of all of them."
They all turn to continue watching the flames.
In the Flames,
Jon landed on his feet and unsheathed his blade and began to kill the remaining enemy in quick succession. The first dragon spawn had its head cut off, the second stabbed through its throat, Jon dodged a slash from the back, with a back flip and with swiftness he cut both arms of the beast and then impaled it through the left eye. The boy was a natural swordman, they could tell whoever trained the boy did a great job at it.
In the Dragon Pit,
Robbert looked at Ned, "your boy is not bad Ned, he looks like he could give the sword of the morning a run for his dragon" Ser Barristan could not help but agree the boy was good.
The kids were amazed at his skill with a sword, he was fast and precise with his strikes.
In the Flames,
When Jon was through, he approached the battered village guards, "who is in charge of the village defenses?"
A man stepped forward; his armor drenched in dark spawn black blood. "I am" he said wearily.
"Is this where they are coming from" pointing toward the hole in the ground, Jon asks him.
The man shook his head, "the earth opened up this morning and I gather my men to investigate, next thing I know we are being besiege by those abominations." He said angrily.
Jon looks at the hole and the remaining man, "we have to seal the hole before more comes out."
The man looked at Jon, "they have overrun the village, I must bring my man to help the Vill-"
Jon cut him off, "my brothers are doing just that, we need to seal the hole so that more does not come out. That is the best way to protect the villagers."
The man reluctantly agrees and start giving order to his man to begin sealing the hole, while Jon prepares to face any Dragon spawn that appears.
The scene changes to Robb who is fighting with his great sword and his 5 dire wolves decimating his enemies. Ripping dragon spawns throat left and right. He is making sure that the town hall where many of the villagers have taken refuge does not fall.
Robb looked and a group of crying children and women far from him. A group of dragon spawns was upon them, he rushed forward and jumped using his attack, "Ice Ball!" freezing his opponents in a giant sphere of ice from a distance. The family quickly ran toward the hall, as Robb continued to fight the beasts.
In the Dragon Pit,
First, fire magic, now ice magic was being used. House stark has suddenly become a powerful and dangerous house, to some of the other houses.
Robert spoke first, "Gods Ned, first a fire swordsman, now an Ice swordsman, the old gods and the new have bless your house." He said joyfully, happy for his friend.
Eddard looked at his king, "it appears so, your grace."
Bran looked at his father, "do you think Robb and Jon could teach us their magic."
Arya looked at her father with hope in her eyes, Eddard answered, "I don't know Bran, we'll have to ask them when they come home."
The Tyrell and Martell's were hoping that their blood also had magic, because any future altercation with house stark would mean their doom.
Tywin was already thinking about marrying his granddaughter, to the stark heir, hoping that this magic blood would benefit his house in a Lannister great grandchild. While Cersei and Joffrey were looking at the Stark heir with nothing but Jealousy.
In the Flames,
The scene changed again to Domeric who was walking around the village with the Bolton look, of calculating boredom.
He hears a scream and makes his way to where it is coming from, he sees a mother shielding her two kids from a Dragon spawn who had raise its sword to kill the mother. He rushed forwards and stabbed the beast in the back, piercing its black heart through its chest.
He discarded the beast from his sword, seeing the vile beast black blood disgusted him. He looked at the scared family, "you should make your way to the town hall, it is safe there." He said in a monotone voice trying to appear non-threatening.
The family was about to leave when a group of 15 dragon spawns appeared, Domeric looked irritated. He addressed the family a final time, without looking at them, "you all should leave now." The family ran in the direction of the town hall.
The beasts shrieked and ran with their weapons raised at the Bolton heir. Domeric had enough of this farce, "I grow tired of this, Ikoku!"
He swings his sword with such force that he creates a shockwave that destroys everything in its path, obliterating the dragon spawns and enough to pierce through a large part of the village wall breaking it to pieces.
In the Dragon Pit,
Everyone was motionless, Lord Bolton for the first time had a surprise look on his face, the lords of the north that were in the dragon pit, saw it for what to was, a threat to stark rule, and those houses from the south saw it as a way to keep houses stark in check.
"How could they have gained such power?" wondered Tyrion to no one in particular.
In the Flames,
Domeric looked at the destruction he caused with the same bored look and proceeded to look for more survivors.
The flames showed Theon, who was laughing as he slaughtered the dragon spawns with his trident.
"This is all you got" he said as he continues to slaughter them, "I expected more".
He then placed his palm on the ground and said "Charlestone!", multitude of giant stone spikes erupt from it. Impaling the 20 dragon spawns that was about to attack him, killing the vile beats instantly.
In the Dragon Pit,
Asha, was shocked and proud of her little brother, but her father Balon was pissing her off, "for all his magic, he still follows those Greenlanders like a lost pup."
Asha got up and punched her father to the shock of all in the dragon pit, "you talk too much."
Robert started laughing, while the red viper had a smirk on his face.
In the Flames.
They all met Robb in front of the hall, "any trouble" Jon said as he saw the floor lithering with the body of frozen, bisected, decapitated and shattered dragon spawns.
Robb smirked at his brother "none at all."
he then looks at Domeric, "I see you had fun" bringing attention to the destruction of a portion in the village wall.
Domeric just looked away a little embarrassed.
Sam came out the hall, blood colored his armor. Robb asked him for a report, "the level of wound is catastrophic, but little dead."
Robb nodded and looked at Theon, "Theon, I need you to scout the surrounding area for more trouble."
Theon smirked, "If there is?"
Robb gave him a serious look, "then take care of it." With that Theon left for his horse, to ride out and survey the surrounding area.
He looked at Domeric, "Dom, go to the guards and assist anyway you can" Domeric left without a word.
He looked at Sam, "Sam, me and Jon will go to meet the village leader, continue to assist the healers" Sam bowed to him and went back to the hall.
He looks at Jon, "well brother, shall we" Jon followed him and they made their way to the leader home.
In the Dragon Pit,
Robb leadership skill was something the northerners was proud off. He showed a skill of a man, that will be a great general of war.
In the Flames,
The brothers arrive in front of the leader home and knock, once they heard the invitation to come in, they walk in and find a dwarf of a man sitting behind a desk signing papers.
In the Dragon Pit,
Tyrion is the first to react, "They have dwarfs in this realm." Shock laced his every words.
Renly answered, equally shocked, "it seems so lord Tyrion."
Jamie gave his brother a knowing smirked, while Cersei and Tywin looked at him and the dwarf disappointedly.
In the Flames,
The dwarf introduced himself, "I am Dagan, mayor of this village, I want to thank you and your band for the assistance in destroying the dragon spawns, that attacked us. Not many from the race of man would help a halfling majority village."
Robb looked at him and smiled, "it's nothing, we did what any decent being would do."
Dagan gave a small nod and offered them a seat. "May I know our rescuers names."
Robb nodded and pointed to himself, "I'm Robb Stark of Winterfell" he points to Jon sitting next to him, "and this is my brother Jon Stark of Winterfell."
In the Dragon Pit,
Cat was upset, introducing the bastard as a stark, she hated the fact Ned legitimized him, even though she could not show it, she did not want to have her husband wrath on her.
Bran looked at Tyrion, "they are called halfling, not dwarfs, lord Tyrion."
Tyrion gave him a small smile, continuing watching the flames.
Shireen ask out loud, "did he say race of man?"
Oberyn answered her, "he did, it sound like there is more than one race, in this realm."
Bran said excitedly, "like the first man and the children of the forest."
Everyone in the dragon pit wanted to see these other races, the halfling speaks off.
In the Flames,
Robb continued, "we plan to help restore orders and after that we will be on our way."
With a nod, they left the mayor's office.
It was dusk when Theon returned, with dragon spawns' black blood all over him, smiling like an idiot.
Robb look at his friend with a smile, "I see you enjoyed yourself."
Theon laughs, "hardly, they were only 50 lefts in the surrounding area."
They attended the burial ceremony, after many thanks by the villagers, the Westeros native left the village and made their way to their original destination.
In the Dragon Pit,
Those in the dragon pit see the screen zoom out, travel north of the riders and the words Fire and Blood appear shocking them.
(Jon have the Flame-Flame fruit, Robb have the Ice-Ice fruit, Domeric have the Soul-Soul fruit and Theon have the Stone-Stone fruit. Sam did not eat a devil fruit, but he is a great healer.)
(The Dragon Spawns are inspired by the Hurlock Alpha, a dark spawn Variant in the Dragon Age Universe)
(I will not translate some of the attacks, since I kind of dislike some of the English translations. Those with English translation I like will be translate.)
(I haven't decided yet on who I will make the most powerful out of our Westerosi natives yet. I will have a list, and it will show each of their ability and capabilities.)
(The madness of this fic has just started; it will get crazier down the line. Four More chapters that will introduce the rest of our protagonists.)
(The stark dire wolves are in Dakour.)
