Eddard Stark POV
Winterfell, 290 AC, a few days ter.
-----------------------------------------
It's been few moons since Joo the Wall. A week after parting from the boy, news of the battles Jon fought had already reached all of the North, earning him even more fame.
Once again, a bald was created about little Jon, who anded a group of giants, direwolves, bears, and shadow cats in deadly armors, resg women and a girl from wildlings, helping his own father itle of the siege. This caused a ir in the North, with giants and animals never seen before, and this time there were thousands of witnesses.
All of the North spoke of Ned's son, and the lord of Winterfell did not doubt that his bastard son now had more loyalty from the North than his own heir. The lords sent ravens oer another, every day, many upset after learning that Jon had brought a new metal, magically light, and distributed it to the lords and soldiers of the siege at the time. There were even marriage proposals asking to legitimize Jon and give him a castle and his own o build his own family.
On the day Ned finally returned from the siege journey, he arrived at Winterfell at dawn and found none of his children awake, but did not sleep without discussing with Catelyn about the rumors of Jon that had already reached the castle. Now, after telling and firming everything, she was about to explode, because the bastard son had caused more chaos in the North and overshadowed Robb's image, leaving a bad image of her and her heir.
The m, his children, especially the younger ones, bombarded the father with questions. old his children that Jon had given gifts to all the siblings, which made the younger oedly happy. Sansa showed i, but Robb was still brooding. Catelyn protested about how Jon was influeng the children and screamed upon seeing the ons. There was a dagger and a pointed sword for Sansa and Arya, but Ned argued that he would let the girls keep the ons, which were of valuable metal and could stay as ors without the o use them.
Ned was angry when Robb refused to accept the gift and openly insulted his brother. Ned immediately put him in punishment. A few days ter, in Wiown, they even began to receive visitors from all over the world, who had heard the news from two weeks ago. They were more ied in knowing about the boy and his whereabouts, but Ned refused to say anything, Jon should be on the Wall now.
Ned could only sigh at all this. His younger childrehrilled when Ned mentiohat Jon had arrived at the battle and saved the you daughter of Llover. Even Sansa was surprised, and the three wao hear the story more than once. Bran began to ena the courtyard that he was Jon, anding giants and mounted on a direwolf, fighting against wildlings and sve traders.
But Ned felt a weight in his heart seeing Robb brooding and clearly jealous of his younger brother who was gaining much attention from the kingdom. Jon always tried to get along with his brother and always wished him well, but Robb began to distance himself from Joo Theon's and his mother's influence, even though Ned asked him to recile, he refused. Now, this barrier he created geed rumors that Robb was inferior to Jon as a bad and jealous brother.
One day Ned was having breakfast with his family when Luwiered, not wanting to wait to give the news in his sor. He handed over a scroll that made everyone curious, and Ned's face paled upon finishing reading. It was a message saying that Jon had crossed the Wall and gone aloh his group beyond it without anyone apanying him. Ned, without answering the worried questions, thought furiously: "Where the hell does Jon io go? Ohing is the Wall, but going further north of it? I would never allow that!"
"Write now to Lord ander Mormont, asking why he allowed my son to do this madness!" Ned roared so loudly that it scared everyone.

Winterfell, 290 AC, a few days ter.
-----------------------------------------
"Father? What happeo Jon?" Arya asked, ed by the outburst.
"He crossed the Wall a north, Arya," Ned said without thinking. The hall erupted into whispers. Robb and Theon gave mog smiles.
"Looks like the bastard has finally turned wild," Robb said disdainfully. Arya, who was g from the news, was shocked by what Robb said and angrily reprimanded him.
"Shut up, you idiot! While you sit on your butt in the castle, Jon fights and saves people out there! He's a much better brother than you!" Arya shouted. Robb, i months, had been very sensitive about any parison to Jon and was furious with his sister.
"Shut up, Arya! I'm the heir, and you better respect me!" he shouted, about to say more, but was interrupted.
"SILENCE!" Ned roared.
"ROBB, YOU ARE PUNISHED FOR 1 MONTH FOR YOUR WORDS, AND ARYA WILL BE PUNISHED FOR 1 WEEK FOR PARING YOUR BROTHER," Ned decred loudly.
"Why is she only a week?" Robb demanded.
"BECAUSE SHE, ALTHOUGH SHE OFFENDED YOU, PROTECTED HER FAMILY. WHILE YOU INSULTED YOUR BROTHER WITHOUT REASON!" Ned growled.
"HE IS NOT MY BROTHER, HE IS JUST A BASTARD!" Robb shouted. Theon smiled at the decration.
"2 MONTHS NOW! GO TO YOUR ROOM NOW!" Robb eechless and had to go to his room. Bran began to cry, and Catelyn was angry.
"Look what your bastard is doing, he's destroying our family," Catelyn said. Ned didn't even have time to respond, as Catelyn turned her bad followed her son.
Now, Ned had to think about what the hell Jon was doing beyond the Wall. A few days ter, he received a letter from his brother saying that Jon had saved his life and was returning to Winterfell as soon as he recovered from his leg.
Ned could only sigh and wait for his brother to return to find out what the hell was happening.

Varys' POV
King's Landing, 290 AC, a few weeks ter
------------------------------------------
Everyone was in the cil room for another meeting, all strangely arriving earlier than expected, and even people who don't usually attend cil meetings were present. The King, who was always absent, appeared today, probably because I mentioned something about the North.
The meeting, as usual, was mostly useless, seeming more like a battle of egos than a discussion about important matters of the ti, while ma secrets and schemes beh their smiles.
Now with everyohered and discussing typical meeting matters, the king couldn't take it anymore.
"Enough of this nonsense, I want to hear news from the eunuch!" Robert roared, impatient with the discussion they were having about the city.
Varys sighed and began to report a here and ahere from the other kingdoms befetting to the North.
"Eunuch, stop this nonsense and tell me about the North," the king roared again, wanting to know about the ret and intriguis ing from the North that Varys had mentioned before.
"Yes, Yrace, the North has returo the chaos of previous months, and this time it was much bigger. Lord Stark's bastard is again at the eye of the storm," said Varys, capturing the attention of the entire room.
"Why do we have to pay attention to a wild bastard?" Cersei questioned disdainfully. In her mind, they should pay attention to Joffrey, who will be the king, and not to a bastard in the North, who now the wildlings in that kingdom hail as a little hero.
"SHUT UP, WOMAN! Finally, there's something I want to hear! Tell me about Ned's son. I'm even going to drink because this boy keeps surprising me every time I hear about him. So, I'll celebrate for him." The king already grabbed the wine and filled his gss.
He acted as if he hadn't been drinking throughout the entire meeting. His words were just another excuse to fill his gss again, although he didn't need one, since he's the king. The Kingsguard soldiers were also quite ied in the bastard at this moment.
"The boy reappeared to the world nearly two moons ago, only this time he appeared with a group more powerful araordinary than I had ever heard ieros, Yrace." The king stopped drinking and looked attentively at Varys, as did everyone in the room.
"And what would be the most powerful group you had heard of ieros, Varys?" Stannis asked, and now everyone wao hear the rest.
"The boy appeared mounted on a 2.5-meter direwolf with armor made of a metal never seen before, Yrace, called Eldeal, which seems to have been a creation of the child himself. In addition to the wolf he was riding, there were 3 more of the same size and 11 more pups that were retly born. There were also 5 adult giants of almost 4 meters, 2 giant children of 2 meters, all in armor with a magnifit design, as well as four 2-meter bears and two 1.5-meter shadow cats." No one could say anything about this; even the king was looking at him trying to process this.
"This is pure nonsehere's no way giants and animals of that size exist, nor this metal you speak of," Pycelle said, and many present agreed.
"You pin about that to the traders and travelers who saw him, or the 3,000 soldiers alongside various lords of the North who witnessed all the nonsense you say does," Varys said calmly.
"They might pay people to spread these rumors. It seems the North wants attention," said Cersei with a mog smile.
"They could pay, but there are too many withey could never maintain suonsehout someone saying they were paid," said Jon Arryn.
"They also say that the boy ahe giants and they obeyed his ands. The 9 namedays old boy rescued the you daughter of Llover from the hands of 200 wildlings, entering the camp at night, taking the hostages, and anding the giants in the assault, exterminating all the men who came beyond the Wall." The room fell quiet once again, the members of the Kingsguard had shining eyes.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA DAMN IT, EACH ME HOW TO RAISE A SON, PLEASE! JON, I'M GOING TO THE NORTH, I HAVE TO HE YOU KNIGHT IN HISTORY AT 9 NAMEDAYS," the King was the only one happy with these absurd news.
"If this is true, he only ma because he has giants. And if a child ands 4-meter men, why 't we also? It's ridiculous to leave a boy with giants and this metal they speak of there," Cersei immediately said with greed. She wouldn't miss the ce to "get" such valuable things.
"Is there more, Varys?" Renly asked.
"Yes, Prince Renly, there are rumors that the boy doesn't necessarily depend on the giants. Everything points to him holding off the wildlings so the hostages could escape and it's said he killed men on his own, some say he's like Brandon Stark reborn, with wolf's blood." People looked suspiciously at these rumors.
"And there wasn't any witness on the spot to firm all this, right, Varys?" Littlefinger spoke with a mog smile.
"No, Lord Baelish, there wasn't, but other things happehat help to believe these rumors."
"More?" asked Jaime Lannister, questioning whether to believe all this and remembering how he was when he was only 8 or 9 years old. Back then, he was training in Casterly Rock with the dream of being a knight, but now he was hearing that this child had killed many before his first death, which was at 13 years old. He felt ridiculous pared to a bastard child from the North.
"Yes, Ser Jaime. After the successful assault against the wildlings, the boy spent days traveli ao assist his father in the siege of svers. The boy delivered armor made for Lord Stark with the unpreted metal and ons and shields for all the lords present, all withe ons as the work of the most impressive craftsman of their lives. Then, he offered that he would give 10 more ons and shields to the soldiers who stood out most itle the day." The room was surprised by this.
"And what's so special about the metal of these wildlings?" Cersei mocked.
"The reports speak of a metal superior to on steel but not as good as that of Valyria. However, there's something special in it that make it as precise as those of the dragon families," said Varys, with the group very ied now.
"It's a metal with a green sheen and, more importantly, very light. Lord Stark's armor only weighed 10 kilos, and he moved so fast in battle that it left the northerners astonished. Even arrows ricocheted wheouched his armor, not making a single scratch," he said.
"I'm going to the North tomorrow and I want to see the boy!" roared the king, envious of his friend in the North having such armor.
"I will also apany you, Lord. I have an i in the boy," said the captain of the Royal Guard.
"That's good, it's better we have this boy here in King's Landing to bee a member of the Royal Guard," said Cersei, and everyone agreed, not wanting to lose the ce to trol the boy and the bes he is bringing to the North.
"I have more to say and fear you will be disappointed with the end of the story," Varys said, and everyourheir heads.
"The day, the boy and his group ahe first assault on the siege alone and anded giants to shoot arrows so fast and powerful that it could make bodies fly tens of meters. A man apanying the boy, ahe giants to une different arrows at the gate. When they hit the gate, a green liquid spread. Then, another arrow was unched with fire, and the gate exploded!"
"Wildfire..." Jaime murmured, in disbelief.
"Yes, and the boy developed this substan the north and u at the siege." This also shocked them, and Varys added, "This ensured an easy victory in the siege against the Essos meraries without much resistanbsp;
"And what did you say we would be disappointed?" asked the king raising the question.
"From what I uand, except for Lord Stark, the rest of the Starks are not happy with the as of the bastard. The on people of the North are speaking ill of the Starks in Winterfell and saying how the boy was mistreated there for being a bastard. Robb Stark's cim is being questioned as heir, even more so when Robb Stark openly offends his half-brother." The people quickly uood the situation.
"One more reason t him to King's Landing," said Baelish with a smile.
"Yes, but as he has already passed the Wall, I don't think it will be possible now." Everyone looked in astonishment. Why did the boy cross the Wall? What the hell is happening in the North?
"I know what you are thinking, and Lord Stark did not know about this. The boy said he was going to the Wall, but not north of it. Eddard Stark did not authorize the boy's passage, and the Lord ander, seeing the group, did not want to give the boy a ce to force a passage through the Wall sihe child even threatehem with the group, so they let them pass. The entire North is w why the as of the boy. But I personally believe the boy is too o see that his brother is being mocked in the North and saw that he o leave, even his brother mog him when he could. I just wonder why he went beyond the Wall when there were other options." Varys gave his opinion for the first time i part. People were speechless. And the child still thought of his brother's welfare to the extent of going to where only the gods know.
"I'm going to the North tomorrow, I will visit my friend. Pycelle, send a letter to Winterfell about my arrival and to the Lord ander of the Wall that any sighting of the boy, tell the King summons him in King's Landing." And so ends another meeting.
