287 AC

Winterfell

Robb Stark

“Dark Wings Dark Words” that's what Father had told me when the raven came to us. The Greyjoys had just rebelled and Father had to go and fight them, with the king. That’s what Father said, that is why all these thousands of men have come to Winterfell, and that is why Father had been in the courtyard training with Ice training with the Winterfell guard for weeks. Now everything was changing though because Father had to leave soon. 

I and the rest of the court of Winterfell were in the courtyard of Winterfell because now, he had to leave. We all had to stay to see him off, or at least that's what Mother told me. My sister Allyria stood next to our mothers Catelyn and Ashara on our left who were holding our two younger sisters, Sansa and Arya, while our grandmother Genna stood next to us on our right. With Princess Elia, Dowager Queen Rhaella, and all of my betrotheds next to them right after my cousin Selene.

Father was saying his goodbyes to us now. The Stark Patriarch gave our mothers and younger sisters a kiss on the head 

“Cat, Ash I love you both, take care, listen to each and my mother, and I love both you too Sansa and Arya, you two be good and listen to your mothers.”

Both of them looked sad but resigned with Ashara saying “Be careful we both love you.” Catelyn nodded at her sister-wife’s words. 

Father then turned towards me before he knelt down, pulled me into a hug, and gave me a kiss on the head before telling me “Robb listen to your mothers and grandmother, you’ll be the Stark in Winterfell while I’m gone.”

 I had tears forming in my eyes as I told him “Why do you have to go? I’m afraid! I don’t want you to go" He tells his father, tears pooling in my eyes "Aren’t you afraid?”

His father just shook his head and said  “Yes I do have to go, I’ve told you before Robb, King Robert needs every man with him in the war, the Greyjoys can't be allowed to rule, they’ve already attacked most of Westeros including the coast of the North, it’s my duty as Warden under Robert to answer his call to arms, and as ruler of the North to defend my people." He smiled before giving his advice "And yes I am afraid, but remember this a man can only truly be brave when he’s afraid son.”

I then asked him “Are you still going to teach me sword lessons when you get back, and can I start them now? If there’s a war when I’m older I want to follow you.” 

My father wiped away my tears and smiled as he looked at me and said “ Yes, I’ll teach you all I know, once I get back, and yes, you can start them now, I’ve already told Ser Gerold and Ser Rodrick to help you start training, and when we get back I and Ser Arthur will too. The reason I’m fighting now is so you won’t have to fight one when you're older, but if there is one then I’ll be grateful to have you with me, I’ve no doubt that you’ll become the greatest fighter in Westeros.” 

Father then moved on to my sister and cousin, “I love you both, you two listen to your mothers and aunts, I’ll be back as soon as I can.” he then gave them a hug as they cried and said, “We love you.” 

When he reached Princess Elia and Dowager Queen Rhaella he took their hands and kissed them before telling them “Look after yourselves and the girls Princess, and Your Grace.” 

They then told him “Yes Lord Stark, we will pray for your health and good fortune.” Once he reached my betrotheds who also had tears and were crying he told them “Little Princesses look after yourselves, and listen to your mothers.” They then told him “Yes, Lord Stark, love you and be careful.”

With his farewells gone, father mounted his warhorse, and gave the order for his guard to leave. Once they reached the castle gates, we all ran to the walls and watched as he joined up with the rest of his army that was already marching ahead of him. Father never looked back at us, as I said “Be careful father.” We all gathered together in a hug as we watched Father leave.

—---------Months Later—-------

It was my sixth birthday, and my father still wasn’t back yet. We hadn’t even heard anything from him until a month ago when we heard he reached Casterly Rock and was waiting until the Greyjoy fleet was beaten and they could invade the Iron Isles themselves. But I would be able to show Father my direwolf Grey Wind who had just been born from my Aunt Lyanna’s direwolf in the Direwolf Pens, we had instantly bonded with each other, the same happened for my sisters and cousin Selene. 

However, this gave me more time to train with my swordsmanship. I along with many of the other heirs of castles in the North were sent here by our fathers, so that we could all bond together while they went off to fight in the war. We’ve all started training together, and all of our instructors said that I have been a fast learner, as I’ve been working hard because I want to show Father how much my skill has grown. Now though it’s time for my birthday feast.

At my birthday feast, I got all kinds of gifts, jewelry, clothes, a new wooden sword, a new dagger, and even some rare books from my Granduncle Tywin. Mother also promised me that I could get any of the books I wanted from the library until I got done with them. But now it was my bedtime and I got sent to my room, but mother said I had to go to bed because I started a food fight in the Great Hall, and it was barely dark out.

I am not about to spend the rest of my birthday in my room. As I got out of bed and walked over to my balcony, I saw that there was still a little sunlight out, and I knew I had at least another hour of it before it got harder to see, so I still had some time to practice my climbing before it got really dark out. This time I’ll try to reach my father’s office, which is five stories right above my room with only empty rooms there last time I only managed to get three stories high before I had to turn back to my room. I quickly grabbed my coat, put it on, and started climbing, taking it slow every step up the way, I had just reached 4 stories high when I started having doubts, but then I remembered father’s words to me before he left “a man can only truly be brave when he’s afraid son” I have to be brave just like my father is, and yes!!! I just reached his office room balcony, I just had to open his balcony door and get in, which I just did as it was unlocked. 

Once I got in, I looked around. Then I walked to my father's desk, as there was still a fire in the fireplace, I guess Mother must’ve been in here going over Father’s ledgers. Once I sat down in his chair, I looked through Father’s documents, here it was mostly about troop numbers and battle strategies, I’ll take some of these with me later. As I was getting up to put the papers back, I slipped and fell down, and while I was on the ground, I could just barely make out a key shining just under a small slit in his desk, it was too small for my fingers, but I remembered I had my new dagger with me so I used its blade to slide the key out. When I got it out, I realized it had a small note covering up most of the key, so I took it off and read it. 

The note said “The eggs and books with their knowledge have been moved behind his statue in the crypt, as Father requested me to do, this key will control the entrance just behind the statue, simply move the wolf head to reveal the keyhole. This knowledge will only be passed down to Stark lord and heir, for the following generations of Starks, signed Jonnel Stark.” 

What???? What eggs, they can’t be dragon eggs can they, and whose tomb, the letter was signed by Jonnel Stark and there was only one he learned about in his lesson, so it had to be at Lord Cregan’s tomb, but why would he hide them he should’ve easily been able to hatch them. Well no matter, I’ll do it myself and get them from the crypt tomorrow, because I won’t be able to make it there now. Now I need to hurry to my room before they find out that I’m gone, I’ll put this stuff back up before though, I can’t let Mother know I’ve been up here. When I climbed back down to my room I could barely sleep. 

Once I woke up, I quickly put the key in my pocket, before I went to eat breakfast in the Great Hall. The whole time I was thinking of how I couldn’t wait to get to the crypt and get the eggs. After my lessons, during my two-hour break time, I told everyone I was tired, and then went straight to the crypt, with a torch and Grey Wind. As I walked down to Lord Cregan’s tomb, I realized that every Stark Lord and some heirs were buried down here, it was a scary feeling. Here it is now, “Cregan Stark Warden of the North and Lord of Winterfell” It had been engraved into the stone of his tomb, now I just had to look for the wolf’s head. I had to climb up on the tomb itself to reach it, but I managed to just turn the head of the direwolf, and then I put the key in and turned it. It caused a door on the right behind Cregan’s tomb to slightly open up. 

I stepped down and then moved to the door, and fully opened it, there was dust and spider webs everywhere, I used the torch to burn away the spider webs, as I moved into the room I was bouncing around on my feet because I couldn’t wait to reach them. I then saw a chest in the room and rushed over to it, inside it there was first a thick wool cloth covering them with a rolled-up parchment on it, but I immediately took them both out of it and moved next to me on the floor beside me. Then once I looked in the chest again, I saw at least a dozen dragon eggs in it, and on top of all of them, there was a dragon egg that had a beautiful pearlescent and iridescent dragon egg on top of them. I then immediately grabbed the egg and felt that it was warm to the touch, when I gently put it down on the wool cloth, I then felt the other eggs, and all of them were also warm, however not as much as the first egg. I have to get these eggs all in my room, I have to get these hatched for me and my family. 

I took multiple trips to my room and back to the crypt moving all of the eggs under my bed so no one would sneak in and hide them. On the last trip from the crypt, I took the rolled-up parchment and the wool cloth which I now realized was embroidered with sigils of Houses Stark, Targaryen, and Velaryon. 

Once in my room, I read the sheet parchment, and it had information on why the eggs were there, where Cregan had put some of the books and writings of Targaryen dragon lore, and where the eggs were from. Cregan had his son Jonnel move the eggs there as he felt they were dangerous after his daughter Laena had an egg hatch and it attempted to attack her. Cregan had put copied scrolls and books from his time as Hand of the King, into sections of the Library of Winterfell. As for where the eggs were from, they varied from being from Vhagar, Mourning, Sunfyre, and some of the other Targaryen dragons, as during the Dance of Dragons, and The War of Wolves when Princes Aegon and Aemond had come North to aid Cregan in the war against Bennard Stark. 

Regardless of whether Cregan thought they were dangerous or not, I have to find out how to hatch these dragons, so my first stop tomorrow will be to the library to get those books and scrolls on dragon lore, and our own teachings of House Belaerys and their dragon lore. 

Once the next day came, in the Great Hall we received word of Lord Stannis Baratheon’s victory at The Battle of Fair Isle, and we all celebrated, as we knew that now the war would only last a few more months. After breakfast, I immediately went to the library to look for books on dragon Lore. When I went in I went to the section where the scroll in the chest said they’d be. When I got to them, they were locked in with chains, so I used the key to try to unlock it, and it worked. Once I got them out I quickly locked the chains back up. Then I made my way to my room so that I could read the books without being disturbed. 

Over the next month, as I read all the books, we received word of Father landing at Lord’s Port successfully taking it with the king, and I found out a lot of dragon lore from the books. There was everything from battle strategies to training and rearing dragons, to making saddles along with different daddle designs also, these books had all the information that I could pretty much ever need, including most importantly, ways to hatch them. Some of the most common ways of hatching them were very easy they only needed the blood of the person trying to hatch the dragon on the egg before it was put into the fire, however, they also said that the sacrifice of a human life just before or during it would almost guarantee that any egg would successfully hatch, though I’m not about to do that. Now I just need to get everyone else on board with my plan, it shouldn’t take too long.

I was sooo wrong. “Are you crazy!!!” “Robb, what's wrong with you?” “This can’t be safe!” “Cut our fingers!!??” “Sacrifice someone, are you mad??!!” “In the forest alone!!!!??” I did not see this coming at all, how could they not want to try to get dragons? 

“I promise we’ll be fine Ser Arthur says that I’ve been improving with my sword lessons, so I’ll take a sword from the armory with us, we’ll be fine, and we’ll have Grey Wind with us,” I told them. “Grey Wind is still very young and you may be getting good, but you aren’t good enough yet, what if Wildlings come?” Rhaenys asked me. 

I then told her “Grey Wind is more than strong enough to protect us, you Sansa, Arya, Allyria, Selene, you can also bring your direwolves too, we’ll be fine.” They all looked at each other with uncertainty, but then Dany shouted out “Let’s do it, Robb’s right, if this works then we could all have dragons.” 

After that, they all agreed shortly after that, thank the Old Gods for Dany. I then told them the plan, “We’ll all get out by sneaking through the East Gate, we’ll all take a few ponies with us, then we’ll go through the city, we’ll each take a dragon egg with us, and leave the others in my room,  but before we go I’ll sneak into father and mother’s room and get Wintersbane. Also, remember you guys can’t tell anyone.” With our plan agreed upon, we all left the room and agreed that tomorrow would be the day that we did our plan. 

Sneaking out of Winterfell was easier than I thought it would be, since we left in the morning when the guards were changing posts, it was easy for us to slip through without getting found out. The hardest part was sneaking out of Winter City, as the Grey Cloaks were on constant guard, but eventually, we were able to get out of the city. We made our way into the Wolf’s Wood, once we reached about a mile inside of the forest, we all got off and prepared the pyre so that it could be lit. While our direwolves all went out into the forest around us.

“Are you all ready?” I asked them. They all replied “yes”. With them ready, we all went into our horse's satchel and grabbed our dragon eggs, and I grabbed the spark rocks to actually start the fire. We then all put our dragon eggs in the pyre, with us each cutting our hands and rubbing our blood on the eggs.

Mine was an iridescent and pearlescent dragon egg that reflected different colors in the light, however, it always kept a grey, white, and light blue on it. Sansa’s egg was white with light blue and pink swirls on it. Arya’s was black and purple, and it had shimmering sparkles on it. Selene’s was a completely pure white egg. Dany’s was a sea-blue with purple and golden highlights along with shimmering sparkling swirls throughout it. Rhaenys had a white and gold egg. Viserra’s had a purple and black egg. Visenya’s had a bronze egg with green and blue swirls on it. While Allyria’s had a light purple, pink, silver, and white dragon egg with shimmering swirls throughout it.

With all of our eggs in the pyre, I had grabbed the spark rock and had just lit the fire on the pyre, when we heard, “Well well well, what do we have here?” 

I looked up in panic at a Wildling as I drew Wintersbane, and said “Get behind me now!” to the girls.

“Ohhhh the little boy wants to draw steel and fight does he? Well that's alright, little one I’ll kill you and then take everyone one of those little whores behind you.” He said as he drew his own longsword. 

He then attacked me with a cry of “Ahhhhhh,” I met his first strike with an overhead blow, and then made to strike back at him with a slash, however, he easily dodged it as he said, “Well the little lordling has some fight in him, and that’s a Valyrian Steel sword, you must be a Stark, I’ll kill you and take your little whores, I’ll be the greatest of the Freefolk.” 

With that said he came at me again, but this time after I blocked his first strike, and tried to strike back, he had delivered a hard strike from overhead that knocked Wintersbane out of my hand and then kicked me to the ground. He then said, “Such bravery from a child, sadly no one will ever know it.” 

As I reached to grab my dagger from my waist and started to roll over, and as he picked up Wintersbane and walked over to me to kill me, Grey Wind jumped from out of the forest with a loud howl and almost bit open his throat, as the other direwolves jumped out of the forest behind the wildling, causing him to drop Wintersbane and run towards the pyre to go around it. 

However I immediately grabbed Wintersbane causing him to turn around holding his throat, and start begging saying “Please I didn’t mean any of it!!!” but I only said “Die you wildling coward!!!” as I drove Wintersbane through his chest causing his blood to splatter down on the dragon eggs though mostly on mine, before I pulled it out of him which caused him to fall down into the pyre. 

As he started to burn alive and as his screams started to echo across the forest, the girls all ran over to me and all gave me a massive hug and kisses. As I was telling them that I was alright over and over again for what had to be an hour at the least, we then heard movement from the pyre.

In a few seconds, the world had changed, for out of the pyre every single one of the dragon eggs hatched, and the tiny dragons that hatched from them crawled over to us, with all of them coming to the one that put blood on their egg. Dragons had returned to the universe, with all of our tiny dragons roaring out, and the howling of all of our direwolves, for the first time in over 100 years, dragons were living in the world.

Eddard “Ned” Stark 

288 AC 

Casterly Rock

“Lord Stark, we’ve received urgent news from Winterfell,” Said the newly knighted Ser Jory Cassel for his valor in the war, as he showed a message bearing a direwolf’s head wax-sealed letter to me.

“Hand me the message, Jory." What could be so urgent that they'd send it here I thought? Ned was worried, what sort’ve urgent news could be coming from Winterfell, please gods don’t let something bad happen to the kids or Cat or Ash. 

After Ned was handed the message by Ser Jory, he quickly opened it and began reading it. 

“Ned, first we want to say we all miss you, and that we have prayed for your health and the kids and us love you. Now with that out of the way, we will just come out and say it. According to Robb, he found a secret key after he snuck into your office, through climbing no less how many times have we all told that boy about climbing? But anyway, in the note attached to the key, it stated that there were dragon eggs in the crypt hidden behind a secret door to Lord Cregan’s tomb, in it he found many dragon eggs, enough for him, our children, and the Targaryen children to hatch their own dragons. They did, by sneaking out of the castle, making their own pyre, and hatching them in fire, but not before a Wildling came and tried to kill them, Robb fought him with Wintersbane but lost before his direwolf popped out and opened his throat, before Robb drove the sword through his chest after he died, ALL of the dragons hatched. This is no Jape Ned. We are sorry to tell you that this burden to tell the king that this has happened.”

Signed, Your loving wives Catelyn and Ashara

What the fuck? She has to be japing, but she would never jape over something like this. Damn it why do have to be the one to tell Robert? Though I am extremely proud of Robb, it was so stupid of him to even try it, and to drag those girls into this, they all could’ve been killed. Though how could I not know about the eggs, and where the fuck was this key and note exactly? I’m also proud of him for trying to defend himself and the girls, though I’ll have to talk to him about sneaking in me, Cat, and Ash’s room, though that’s something that Brandon would do, I’ll have to talk to him when I get back to Winterfell. Though how bond can these wildlings be getting, one being within distance of Wintercity and Winterfell is insane, I’ll have to send out more patrols once I get back. Though how will Robert react to this? I don’t know what he’d do, but I know I can’t let him kill them, these dragons are a huge advantage that I can’t ignore, no one with a right mind would try to go against us like how the Mad King did. I’ll have to see how he reacts.

“My Lord, are you alright?” Ser Jory asked me, looking at me, as I no doubt looked very confused and conflicted.

“No, Jory. You know what this letter says?” I responded and asked him.

“Of course not my Lord, I’d never look through your letters unless you asked it of me.” He responded, which caused me to give him a light smile.

“I know Jory, have a seat I have need of your advice,” I told him, before he sat down in the chair I had pointed at. I then quickly told him the contents of the letter, his face went from relief at hearing that everyone was fine, to shock at Robb sneaking into my office, and discovering the dragon eggs, to huge surprise once it stated that he and the girls managed to actually hatch the dragons, to fear and then immediate relief once he heard of a wildling coming up Robb fighting him and losing before his direwolf saved them all, and then finally sadness once he heard how Robb ended him by stabbing him with Wintersbane. At the end of it, I asked him what he thought of it.

“Well my lord, I don’t think you have much to worry about, the king is your best friend so I doubt he’d try to order you to them, and even if you weren’t no Warden or Lord Paramount with a small amount of pride or honor could obey it, it would bring dishonor to his house. The king might try to have Robb ward south with him at-”

“No, he is my only son, he is my heir, and I will not allow him to leave the North or Winterfell for a wardship.” I interrupted him and said. It may seem stubborn or foolish, but I don’t want any of my children or the Targaryen girls to leave Winterfell for any time until they have adulthood, they’ll be safe with me in Winterfell. 

“Well, I’m sure the king would understand, though I guess that would leave the option of betrothals, the king seems to still mourn the loss of your sister, I’m sure that he wouldn’t oppose being the one who suggests it himself, my lord.” This gave me pause, this would seem like something Robert would do, though would benefit my house more and unify them through marriage I don’t know how to feel about it, recently we Starks haven’t done well in the south. I’ll have to think about it.

“Thank you, Jory, I need to think about how I’ll tell this to the king, and thank you for your assistance Jory, it was helpful,” I told him, I knew I could always count on Jory.

“No problem my lord, though I will say Robb’s quite lucky, I’d love to have a dragon, it could’ve helped us out on Pyke.” He said, which us both to have a small laugh. 

Now I need to think.

—--------------------------

Later that day

The last feast celebrating the Tourney of Lannisport, and the victory in the war. 

The Grand Hall was joyous, almost all the lords of Westeros were here celebrating. The mood was grand, and everyone was excited to return to their homes. I was next to Robert and the other high lords of the realm at the High Table, along with Ser Jorah and Lynese Highower his crown Queen of Love and Beauty. Ned hoped that they could be happy together, like how he, Cat, and Ash were. However, I had to get time to tell Robert alone, about the dragons.

“Robert, I need to talk to you in private, about something important,” I told him, causing him to look at me. 

“What is it Ned?” he said as he let out a laugh. “Don’t you dare tell me you’ve decided to leave tonight now, it's been years since we've seen each other brother!” 

“No it’s not about that, and I haven’t decided to leave, it’s about something else, I need to tell to you in private,” I responded to him.

“Ahhhh bugger that Ned whatever it is I’m sure it’ll be fine,” He told me.

I would really rather discuss this in private, but the word of it will get right out anyway, eh fine.

“Alright, Robert I’ll just come right out and say it, my son Robb using a way that I’d rather not go into too much detail about, managed to find and hatch dragon eggs that were hidden in Winterfell that I didn’t know about, there were enough eggs for Robb, all my daughters Allyria, Sansa, and Arya, along with Rhaenys, Daenerys, Viserra, Visenya, and my niece Selene to each hatch a dragon.”

After I said that, the hall fell deadly silent. Every single person in the hall was looking at me with shock, I already knew that some of them thought that I was lying or crazy, some looked at me in envy, and some looked like they would shout out that I was a traitor, but the only thing that I was concerned about was Robert’s reaction to it. His face had such a blank expression on it, I was surprised I expected shock or maybe rage but not for it to be blank, I’ve never seen him with just a blank face. 

When he finally reacted, the way he did was something I never expected.

“HAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAA HAAAAAAA” Robert was laughing harder than I had ever seen him before, he was full-on holding his stomach laughing as well. While the only thing I was thinking was why the hell are you laughing? While everyone in the hall looked at Robert in confusion.

“HAAA HAAA HAA! Those Targaryen cunts tried for over a hundred years and they couldn’t get dragons back Ned. Only a son of Ned Stark and MY namesake could bring back dragons!!!! Ned tell me how your boy managed to do it, Ned!!!” He then told me and asked me excitedly. 

I then explained how Robb did it to Robert and by extension every lord here. Once I was done telling the story, I looked closely at Robert’s face, he had a look on it that I couldn’t exactly describe on it. 

“Well Ned I’m proud of your boy, however, we must guarantee peace so that our houses will always be tied together. Ned, I’ve got a son and daughters we’ll join our houses in marriage, eh Ned? My Joffrey to your daughter Sansa, that was the one with dreams of knights, wasn’t it? And my daughters will make for more good matches for your son and heir won’t they, after all the two of them are already going to Winterfell why not have it be to get to know their future betrothed eh Ned what do say?” Robert told me. This was pretty much exactly how Jory said things would go, though ALL three princesses, might be a bit excessive but I won’t lie it is a great agreement. 

“Alright Robert, this I’ll be more than happy to agree to. I can’t think of any reason why I shouldn’t agree.” I told him.

“Ahhhhhh!!! Then it’s decided they’ll marry when your boy is 15 in Winterfell, my Myrcella’s just a year younger than him, they’ll all be of age to marry then. While Your Sansa can marry my Joffrey when he reaches 14 in King's Landing. That sounds good to you Ned?” He responded to me. 

“It’s more than acceptable to me Robert,” I told him. 

After I told Robert that, the feast continued, and spirits were high, all throughout the hall. However, I had to ask Robert one question.

I leaned in closer to him, and in a whispered voice, asked him “Why all three of your daughters Robert? You could’ve used some of them to further hold the realm together?” 

Robert looked at me, quickly leaned in, and said “Ned, do you know how many times I’ve had these ambitious cunts looking at me trying to snag one of my daughters for them themselves or their own families? One of those weasel-faced Freys even asked me, to marry one of them to one of their whelps, what was his name, ehhh Ryman I think or Merret was it? Ehhh doesn’t matter anyway, they didn’t even move to aid us until after the Trident was won, I know if justice wasn't on our side that day and that dragonspawn won on the field, they would’ve tried to take us in the rear. Then Mace Tyrell, Mace fucking Tyrell of all people brought his fat ass up to me in private and asked if his son Willas could have my Myrcella as a bride, that fuck damn near starves my brothers, and tries to take MY fucking castle and he wants a reward, NO that fat cunt can fuck right off. I said all three of my daughters because I know that they will be far better off with your boy instead of these cunts.” 

I looked at him in surprise and shock before I laughed, which caused him to laugh as well, which then caused everyone in the hall to look at us. 

—-------------

The Next Day, just before the march home

“Lord Stark, the Hand Lord Jon Arryn, and your father-by-law Lord Hoster are here to speak to you, My Lord.” Said Ser Jory Cassel. 

I wonder what they could want right now, it was almost time for me to march off. It better not be to try to get me to sit on that damn small council, because I will not do it. “Alright send them in Jory.”

After I said that they both came in. Hoster Tully my father-by-law, looked strong and experienced as he still wore his scaled armor of House Tully, while Jon Arryn my father in everything but blood and law came in looking aged but still strong. 

“Ned, it’s good we caught you before you left, we both have something to discuss with you.” They said to me.

“Alright, sure,” I responded to them.

“Well, we’ll just come out and say it. I want to betroth my daughter Sharra to your boy Robb, their will take the Arryn name and rule over the Eryie and Vale.” Jon said while Hoster followed up with “And I want to betroth my youngest daughter Emaria to your son Robb as well, she’s only a little older than him, their kids can take the Tully name and rule over Riverrun and the Riverlands.” 

What???? Why???? They both could have other alliances to strengthen their own kingdoms. It can’t be because they just heard of the dragons, can it?

“When did this idea come to you two, and why would you want my son to marry them?” I asked them, I hope it’s not just because Robb hatched dragons.

“Well we were already talking about it at the outset of the war, we just didn’t want you to be under so much pressure, but with the events of last night, it makes little difference, now I suppose. As for why, well he’s really the only safe option, he’s already related to both of them, and as it stands It’s unlikely that Lysa will ever give me a son, with how many stillbirths she’s had, but besides that, he’d protect from my less than loyal banners, the last time a woman ruled the Vale half of it rose against her, and a Stark helped replace her with a cousin, I figure that now, a Stark could help her stay there.” Jon said, cursing me to nod and then turn to Hoster who said “Generally the same as Jon for me, but as it stands, Robb is my heir as I don’t think they’d appreciate being ruled by a married woman who is over a thousand leagues away, with Robb they’d understand it. However even then I’ve been getting offers to marry Emaria to other sons of some of my lords and other lords, I know what they want, it’s to use her to usurp Riverrun and the Riverlands, doing this would solidify their claims and prevent any attempted usurpation.” 

Well, they both have good reasons, and I can’t really oppose them on it. I owe them both so much, and it increased the standing of House Stark, to a point I couldn’t refuse. I looked at the two of them and said “Alright I have no serious disagreements, and the two of you make very good points. I’ll agree to both of your betrothals, however, you know that Robb would have to have sons bearing the Stark name first?” 

They looked relieved as they both said: “Of course, we understand Ned, and maybe will have a wedding for them shortly after your boy marries the Targaryen girls after Myrcella, We’ll have a month of feasting and tourneys at Winterfell celebrating all of the marriages, and of course, we’ll help you pay for them as well, thank you Ned.” 

“It was no trouble at all Jon, Hoster,” I told them which caused them to leave out of my temporary room. 

I wonder how everyone in Winterfell will react to this. Hopefully, Cat and Ash won’t get upset over this. Though now I guess I have to head back to the rookery and send word of these new betrothals to them. Damn it I just came back from there, though I wish I was there to see their reactions as they get word of it. Imagine it, a raven after the other telling of Robb’s new betrothals. 

—--------------------------

Winterfell

A short time after Ned marched from Casterly Rock. 

Robb 

I still can’t believe that the dragon eggs actually hatched!!! We were all in the Great Hall breaking our fast now, along with all of our dragons as well. I’ll never forget Mother’s reaction along with most of the castle when we came back inside the castle. 

—--------------------------

Flashback

We were trying to sneak back inside the City to get to the castle, though now, that was all foiled, we had been gone for hours, and the city and no doubt the castle as well were under high patrol. We easily failed now that they were looking for us, Ser Rodrick, and Ser Arthur, had immediately spotted us and when they came to us, they heard the dragons, and when we took them out of our satchels, everyone was so in shock they just had us go into the Great Hall immediately. Once we got there, everyone was in shock at seeing them, several of the serving maids even fainted, while our mothers were all shocked and seemed sort of terrified, dragons haven’t been alive in over a hundred years, but they also were happy that we were alright, but immediately after they sent us all to godswood. 

Once we all got to the godswood, we all quickly got our stories straight. I knew that we all had to get our stories straight so we quickly conversed and got it together.

“Guys we have to come up with a story, to make sure they don’t try to take them away from us, and that they don’t try to take away the other eggs either. We’ll tell them all the truth, it was my plan, and I found them, and how we hatched them, but we can’t let them find out that there are still some dragon eggs, so we have to tell them these were the only ones we know anything about, you got it guys?” I told the girls.

After what I said they all quickly agreed with me. Although they weren’t very excited about lying, I wasn’t either, but we couldn’t let them take the eggs, they had to have been given to us for a reason, maybe we’d have more siblings that they could hatch for, or maybe our kids could get them, but we can’t let them know there are more eggs at least right now anyway. 

After that, we got back to playing with our dragons. Now my dragon who I had already named Winterfyre was on top of Grey Wind riding him, with Grey Wind running around the room, it’s great that they are getting along.

—--------------------------

Back to Present

Once we were deep into eating, I started to feed Winterfyre some meat. He was eating it in small bites. Shortly after I started eating my own food, Maester Luwin walked with a scroll in his hand and walked up to my grandmother Genna and gave it to her, she then went to our mothers Catelyn and Ashara and they all read it together. After they read it, they sent a servant to get us and told us to all go to Father’s office where they would meet us. 

Once we all got there we were nervous, we knew that Father had found out, and by extension the king, I hoped and I knew the others also hoped that he wouldn’t try to force us to hand them over or try to kill them. But now we just had to listen to what they said. 

“All of you first, your father sends good news, he was unharmed and will be marching home by the time that we receive this raven. Now to tell you of happened. Robb, he is very proud of you for defending your family, but also upset because you snuck into his office, and went out into the woods alone because you and everyone else could’ve been hurt, he is also proud of you for managing to hatch the dragons, and he can’t wait to see them when he gets back to Winterfell soon. Now as for the king, King Robert and your Father have decided that to assure the peace, King Robert’s three daughters, the Princesses Mya, Bella, and Myrcella would all be betrothed to you Robb, and that you Sansa would be betrothed to his heir Prince Joffrey and will be his future queen. Do you all understand?” My mother told us and asked us.

I was so surprised, I thought that he would be angry with us and that the king would want to take them away, however, he just betrothed me to his daughter, and said that Sansa would be the queen, I won’t lie, I don’t want Sansa to leave but this seems pretty much perfect. 

“Yes, we all understand,” We all told Mother, who gently smiled at us before speaking again.

“They have also decided that Princess Mya and Bella would come here, along with some of their companions to stay here. Robb most men aren’t as lucky to have even a single betrothed come to their castle, use this opportunity to find a connection with them, as you have with your betrothed already. And girls are you alright with this, perhaps when they come here, you all can become friends and reach an accord of your own.” Grandmother Genna told me.

However before I or the girls could respond to her, Maester Luwin interrupted and knowed on the door saying, “Excuse me, my ladies, but another raven bearing Lord Stark’s seal has arrived just now.” This caused Lady Ashara to go to the door and get it inviting him in, and quickly closing the door. She quickly read the note, before handing it to my mother before saying “I think this should also come from you Cat.” 

My mother quickly accepted the letter, before she read it and then told us what it said. 

“Robb more news has arrived from your father. Shortly after he sent the previous raven, my father, and Lord Jon Arryn spoke to him, about something else. Lord Jon Arryn, my father, and your father have all negotiated to betroth you to my younger sister, Emaria, and Lord Jon Arryn’s daughter and your cousin Lady Sharra Arryn, in order to protect your clim on the Riverlands, and in order to defend Lady Sharra’s claim on the Vale. My younger sister will be arriving with your father with several companions as well. Robb, do you also understand this as well, and girls?”

I said, “Yes, Mother I understand.” Then I looked at the girls.

The girls started looking at each other weirdly, as if they they were having a silent conversation with each other, before Rhaenys said “We understand Lady Stark, we’ll try to welcome them as best we can.” 

After that, they told us that we could leave. I was about to quickly run off to the courtyard to train because I had to be the best fighter to not let anything like what happened in the forest where the wildling beat me ever again, but I heard Rhaenys say “Wait!” before the girls all grabbed my arm and dragged me to the godswood.

Once we all got there they pulled me along until we got in front of the weirwood tree, and once we stopped they talked to me. 

“Robb just because you’ve been betrothed to more girls doesn’t mean can’t forget us,” Rhaenys said. 

“You still have to care for us, well and them but us too, you can’t forget us.” Viserra then told me. 

“You have to love us still just because more girls came here doesn’t mean can’t love us anymore.” Visenya then told me.

After that, I told them “I’ll always make sure to care for and love you girls even all those other girls coming.” 

After that, all the girls smiled at me, and then all of them gave me a kiss, however, my three sisters Allyria, Sansa, and Arya I gave a kiss on the cheek, though they all still blushed like how Rhaenys, Viserra, Visenya, Dany, and Selene did. 

After the kisses, I then continued on to the training yard to continue my training, while they all ran off to their own lessons.

—--------------------------

Two months later

Ned’s return to Winterfell

Ned

Ahhhh it’s great to be able to see Wintercity and Winterfell again, I can’t wait to see my family again. 

As we rode into the courtyard, I saw everyone lined up. My mother Genna, Cat, Ash, Robb, Allyria, Sansa, Arya, Rhaenys, Visenya, Selene, Viserra, and Daenerys, along with the rest of the Winterfell court were all lined up and waiting for me. 

Once I dismounted from my warhorse, I first went to the children and then picked them up and embraced them, then I went over to Cat and Ash and told them how I loved and missed them, then I went to my mother Genna and had her a hug, and a kiss on the cheek. After our greetings were made, I quickly introduced the Princesses Mya and Bella along with Robb’s newest betrothed Emaria Tully, and introduced our new ward Theon Greyjoy. After the introductions were made, I sent the Princesses, Emaria, and Theon with Cat and Ash so that they could show them to their quarters, then I and the children made our way inside the godswood, as that was where the dragons were kept. 

Once we arrived in the Godswood. I was in shock looking at the dragons, I knew they were here, and existed, however actually seeing them made it real. 

All nine of the dragons were in the godswood. Robb’s was an iridescent and pearlescent dragon that reflected different colors in the light, but solid grey, white, and light blue colors on it. Sansa’s dragon was white with light blue and pink swirls on it. Arya’s was black and purple, and it had shimmering sparkle highlights in it. Selene’s was a completely pure white egg. Dany’s dragon was sea-blue with purple and golden highlights along with shimmering sparkling swirls throughout it. Rhaenys was a white and golden dragon. Viserra’s was a purple and black dragon. Visenya’s was a bronze with green and blue highlights in its design. While Allyria’s was a light purple, pink, silver, and white dragon with shimmering highlights throughout it. All of these dragons were beautiful. 

After I saw the dragons, the dragons crawled over to the kids, then I asked the kids what were the names of their dragons. 

Robb told me that the name of his would-be Winterfyre. Allyria said her’s was named Starfyre. Sansa had said her dragon was named Snowflake, which I thought was funny. Arya told me hers was named Midnight. Selene said hers was named Snowfyre. Dany told me that hers was named Aurora. Rhaenys said hers was named Moonfyre. Viserra said hers was named Nova. Visenya said hers was named Bronzewing. 

I told them all of the names they picked out were brilliant, and that I was proud of them for hatching them, but I also told them that they shouldn’t be sneaking into my office and that it was very dangerous to do. Shortly after that, I sent them all on their way with their dragons, however, I kept Robb back as I had to talk to him. 

“Robb I’m proud of you, you did your best to protect the girls and yourself against the wildling in the forest.” I told him.

“But I was beaten, Father, if it wasn’t for Grey Wind we all would’ve been killed,” Robb told me as he looked down sadly. 

“Robb every man no matter how old has lost a match with the sword, I lost many in the training yard before I started winning,” I told him in response.

“But it wasn’t in the training, it was real, I need to become the best, I have to protect them better.” Robb then told me.

“Alright, well it just so happens that we have some of the best in this castle now. Ser Arthur Dayne, Ser Gerold Hightower, Prince Oberyn, both of Lord Greatjon’s brothers Harmond and Osric, along with their uncles Hother and Mors Umber are here in the Winter Guard and the Grey Cloaks, Ser Rodrick Cassel, Ser Marlon Manderly, and your uncles Roderick Stark, and Ser Brynden Tully who came with the army to look after Emaria. I’m sure all of them would help you become better, if not the best, I’ll talk to them and get them to help instruct your arms and swordsmanship training.” I told him.

Robb’s face erupted into a massive smile before he launched himself at me and gave me a hug, which I returned, while he said “Thank you, Father!!!!! I can’t wait!!!! Can you also help me too???” 

I then told him “Of course I’ll help you, son. Now why don’t you go ahead and familiarize yourself with the Princesses, Emaria, and young Theon. He'll need a friend while he’s here, I feel you two will get along great.” With that, Robb ran off out of the godswood, with Grey Wind and Winterfyre trailing behind him, with Winterfyre riding Grey Wind as if he was a horse. 

The Old Gods have truly smiled down upon my family. So much good fortune since the end of the rebellion, the future is bright for House Stark.

Chapter Text

292 A.C.

Winterfell

Robb Stark

The years since they hatched the dragon eggs have gone by fast. It was now his tenth-name day, and the girls and I were heading to the Dragonpit to ride our dragons. The dragonpit was the second barracks that Lord Cregan Stark had built, which Father had converted into the dragonpit, which it turns out is what it was supposed to be. Father had found the original plans for them, which stated it was originally planned to be a Dragonpit of the Starks. 

Speaking of our dragons, I can’t believe they’ve grown so large so quickly, everyone said that they were growing far faster than normal. According to the history books and Maester Luwin who had studied magic and dragons, my dragon was now around the size of King Aegon II’s dragon Sunfyre during the beginning of the Dance of Dragons, while the girls' dragons were just slightly smaller, and around the size of the bastard Jacearys Waters’ dragon Vermax. They suggested and Maester Luwin had said that one reason they could be growing faster was that most likely the huge resurrection of magic coming back and affecting their growth, along with the blood sacrifice contributed to them having an accelerated growth, along with them always being allowed to fly out and hunt on their own along with having food brought to them when they needed it, is what allowed them all to grow so quick.

But regardless back to the present. “I can’t wait to fly Aurora again, how about we race to Castle Cerwyn!” said Dany excitedly. Castle Cerwyn may have been around a day's ride away on horseback, but with our dragons, we could be there and back in a few hours, father’s even had us deliver a few messages to Lord Cerwyn for him, though that was rare.

“No, Dany you remember what Father said last time we did that when we flew there without his permission and since we just went there a few days ago I doubt he’d let us go again, how about we just fly in a few laps, and do tricks, we could see who flies the highest again though,” I told her with a smirk.

“Just so that you could win again? You always win that one! How about we see who can dive the fastest and lowest?” Dany asked us with a large smile.

“Huh, now look and see who only wants to do what they would win, Dany you always win that!” My younger sister Arya said, and she was right, Dany’s Aurora almost always won when we saw who dived down the fastest, all of them were fast but for some reason, her’s was the fastest when we dived.

“Well, why don’t we just fly normally? Afterall it’s still fun, and if any of you want to race or do tricks you can do them anyway.” Sansa said, ahhh always more of a voice of reason Sansa is.

“Sansa’s right, we’ll all just fly and have some fun, though let’s race to see who gets over to the Wolfswood first,” I told them, Sansa almost always played peacekeeper between us. 

After that everyone agreed and then we continued to the dragon pit. Once we got to it we all quickly got to our dragons.

As I reached Winterfyre, he was moving around excitedly. He always knew when I was coming.

“Gōntan ao zigerelat nyke valītsos? nyke zigerelat ao tolī.” (Did you miss me, boy? I missed you too.) I told him as I held out one of my hands and gently rubbed his head as he moved closer to me, which caused him to purr against me, as he smiled. I just knew he was excited and ready for a flight, he always loves to fly. 

On all fours, he was multiple times my height of 5.5ft once he stood on both his legs and arms. With his beautiful iridescent scales gleaming. I knew he would be an absolute beast once we were both older and he had more time to grow. 

“ēlī īlon emagon naejot jiōragon ao fed.” (First we have to get you fed) I said right before a dragon keeper came up to me and said, “My lord here is his meal.” he brought up a sheep attached to a leash, and gave me its leash. These dragons could eat almost anything, though Maester Luwin did say that it is possible that they would need fewer meals as they grow larger, like the lizard lions in The Neck.

“Kesīr’s aōha meal valonqar, Dracarys,” (Here’s your meal boy)I said after I led the sheep to him, which caused Winterfyre to open his mouth and shoot out a blast of beautiful iridescent flames and engulf the sheep which was only for seconds until Winterfyre quickly ate the sheep in three bites. “Sȳz valonqar, sir issi ao ready naejot sōvegon? īlon’ll ry sagon flying hēnkirī arlī, ziry’s issa brōzi-tubis sīr īlon’ll emagon naejot show pryjagon syt everyone.” (Good boy, now are you ready to fly? We’ll all be flying together again, it’s my name-day so we’ll have to show off for everyone.) I told him which caused him to move around excitedly before he nodded his head up and down and said yes. 

I’ve always loved how we could always understand each other, ever since he first hatched it was like I could understand him, and it seems as if it is the same for him, he always knew what it was that I wanted of him, not to mention that I could also sense his emotions, and again I suspected him mine. The bond between us is one of the most unique things I’ve ever experienced, it was just like my bond with Grey Wind but also entirely different at the same time. 

“Alright, it’s time to mount up,” I said to him before I climbed up to the harness and climbed up to his saddle, and strapped myself in. Once I was completely strapped in, Winterfyre made his way out of the cage, where we saw all the girls on their dragons coming out of their cages also.

“Are you all ready?’ Robb asked all the girls. To which they all responded and answered with a chorus of yes.

With the confirmation replies given to us, we then all began to move. Once we got to the edge of the launch area, I gave Winterfyre a simple “Sōvēs” and he proceeded to launch us in the sky, with the others following suit.

Robb felt the wind rushing past them as Winterfyre continued to fly higher and higher into the sky. His body was pressed into the saddle, from the force of flying directly up. The rush of adrenaline Robb felt was absolutely glorious. The sensation in his stomach felt amazing as they flew up. At the same time, the cool air flowing all around his body was exhilarating, while the heat emanating from Winterfyre had leveled out the temperature to a good warmth and prevented him from freezing. 

“AHHHHHHH!!!!!” Robb heard the screams of happiness from the girls echoing around him, as he had a beaming smile. 

Once they reached a high enough height, Wintersfyre then began to level out until it suddenly became smooth as they flew in a straight horizontal line. 

Robb then quickly yelled out “We’ll all do a loop!” before making the pull which combined with his inherent bond with Winterfyre, caused him to make a sharp pull-up. The feeling of the air around him seemed to almost thicken from anticipation, and as Winterfyre picked up speed and made the loop, Robb felt his blood rushing down to his head, before Winterfyre once again leveled off and let out a blast of his beautiful iridescent flame. 

“Haa Winterfyre you love showing off aye boy!!?” Robb asked Winterfyre, which caused him to let a short and happy roar and another small blast of fire. 

Just then he had noticed Dany on her dragon Aurora doing a barrel roll, with her laughing and smiling the whole time. Arya was doing smaller loops on Midnight, while all the other girls were pulling off similar maneuvers with bright smiles and were laughing the entire time. 

Robb had thought that this was the main reason he loved flying, the happiness that he and all the other girls received from it was unending. 

Just then, Robb decided to dive, and as Winterfyre sensed his wishes, he immediately set it in motion and Robb did nothing scream in excitement the entire time, as his body filled up with excitement.

“YEAHHHHH!!!!!”

—--------------------------

After the Flight

Robb and the girls had just landed and had finished making sure that our dragons had all been fed and put back into their areas when they were getting ready to leave. 

However Robb had first heard “Robb, let’s go, sorry to steal him from you ladies.” said Theon Greyjoy, causing him to look up at his older friend. Theon quickly became one of his closest friends and he became Theon’s closest friend since he’s been in Winterfell.

However, before I was even able to say anything else, Viserrsa quickly asked “Where are you taking him?” She took the words right out of Robb’s mouth.

“Don’t you girls worry about it, it’s just to take him to get his name-day present, and before you ask, no you can’t come with us, just me and him where we’re going,” Theon answered back to Viserra though he spoke to all of the girls. 

“Alright, Theon let's go. Girls, I’ll see you all later back in the castle.” Robb told all the girls before giving them all hugs and kisses on their cheeks, and in turn, they all bid him farewell, as they got back in the carriage and made their way to the castle. 

Robb then made his way and mounted the other horse that Theon had brought with him, as Theon mounted his own before he asked him, “So where are we going Theon?” 

Theon had a large smile on his face as he said “Robb you’ll see when we get there friend!” 

Well so much for answers. “Well let’s ride,” Robb said as they continued to ride, and chat with each other.

—--------------------------

After a short horse ride

“Alright here we are,” Theon said with a large smile on his face, as we were getting close to a large four-story building with leaded windows, and it had a large painting of a beautiful naked woman inside of a frost blue colored rose.

“Theon, where exactly are we?” Robb had a feeling he knew where he was, but he didn’t expect this. 

“Robb my young friend, it’s your tenth-name day and that means it’s finally time for you to become a man, so this here is The Winter Rose, the finest establishment in all of Winter City, and home to its best whores and one of them or more than one if you’re ready for it will make you a man today.” He said with a large smile.

“Theon are you sure this is a good idea? I wouldn’t want you to get in trouble.” Robb asked him, as he didn’t care at all about having his first time having sex with a whore, honestly, he expected that this would happen sooner or later, several of his friends that were fostering in Winterfell had told him of how they did the same in brothels when they were around his age of ten. The thing that Robb cared about, was Theon possibly getting in trouble, he didn’t want to have him being stuck with extra duties. 

“Ehhhh I’ll be fine Robb, afterall it’s not like we have to tell anyone where we both went right?” Theon replied and asked Robb. 

Robb immediately didn’t want to have to lie to his parents however he’d do it afterall it’d be better to not cause a problem. “Alright fine, but how about after this we head somewhere else and grab something more physical so we won’t technically be lying?” Robb told Theon causing another smirk and short laugh to come to Theons face before he said “You sly bugger, that’s spirit let's go on in!” 

Theon led the way inside The Winter Rose. As we walked inside Robb was engulfed with scents of spiced wine, exotic spices, wood smoke, and perfumed oils in the air. As he looked around he noticed just how nice and beautiful the women in the brothel looked, all of the women he saw were beautiful, and were either topless, completely naked, or wearing loose clothes that showed almost all of their bodies. When he looked around at the interior of the building itself, he saw tapestries and paintings of historic Stark victories, along with naked women, and they had several statues depicting naked women that were made of what looked like marble. The floor itself was a grey stone, with many styled carpets laid on them in many areas, and there were multiple warm hearths throughout from what he saw.  

“Hello Madame Alara!” Theon said with a bright smile, to a beautiful woman who had dark black hair, grey eyes, large breasts, and a curvy figure who wore a light blue silk dress. 

“Hello Lord Greyjoy, I see you’ve brought the friend you mentioned, greetings young Lord Robb.” The beautiful woman said as she looked at the two of us as she spoke to each of us.

“Greetings to you as well.” Robb greeted her back.

“I won’t keep you two young men waiting, Lord Greyjoy you remember where you are to go, while young Robb you follow young Jen here and she’ll take you to our exclusive room and you’ll be joined by our newest addition, a beautiful redheaded maiden just ripe for you to pluck her.” Madame Alara said with a seductive smile and pointed to a younger girl. 

“Well have fun Robb, now you girls remember what you did last time I—-” Theon told me as he walked off and was joined by three beautiful topless women before Robb himself left to follow the girl Jen like he was told to. 

A walk up several stairs later which he spent admiring both all the beautiful women and decorations of the building, was when he heard Jen say “Here we are my lord Robb.” with a sly smile before she opened the door and then walked off. 

The room was very luxurious with a large bed in the city of it. Robb then started to undress himself until he was naked, and then he got on the bed and waited.

After a few short minutes of waiting Robb heard the door open with an oddly familiar voice saying “Hello my lord, I can't wait to—” She stopped once she fully came in and looked at him in shock, and the same with himself to her. 

It can’t be, the maiden he had was Ros???!!! What is she of all women doing here? Her father was the owner and head tailor of the best tailor shop in Winter City! Sometimes when he went there with his mother or someone else, he and her talked many times before and he even had a crush on her. 

Ros was a beautiful young woman with fair skin, voluptuous breasts, a shapely body, long braided red hair, green eyes, and a green silk dress and an emerald necklace.

“ROBB!!! What are you doing here???” Ros quickly asked him, as she was walking closer before sitting next to him on the bed.

“What am I doing here, what are you doing here? Your father wouldn’t want you to be here, and I don’t think you want to be here either, and you’re only five and ten!” he responded to her. 

“Well my father got sick and passed earlier this week, and my half-brother and mother-by-law kicked me out, they didn’t want me to outshine them and they always hated me. I only had enough coin for a few days, so I found myself here, I didn’t want to, but no one would hire me, even the other tailor shops I went to wouldn’t hire me because they were jealous of my father, and they think that they're getting back at him,” Ros said to him, starting to get several tears forming in her eyes before she started to wipe them away. 

Robb instantly knew what he was going to do, Ros didn’t want or deserve what had happened to her. 

“Alright, I’ll go talk to Madame Alara and you won’t be here another day, I'll buy your freedom and in a few hours you’ll leave here with us. My personnel tailor just announced that she’d be retiring in a few years you can work under her as her apprentice and take over once she leaves, and my father will approve of it, he’s seen you and your father’s work.” Robb told her, he wasn’t just going to allow her to be forced into this life. 

Ros looked shocked and more tears started forming in her eyes, however, she caught me off guard when she rushed and started kissing me while saying “Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!” while she was beginning to take the rest of her dress off. 

Robb did want this to happen, but he didn’t want her to feel like she had to do it. “Ros, you don’t have to–-” He said before she quickly cut his words off with another deep kiss. 

“I want to, you aren’t a customer, but I will always be yours, I know we won’t be able to marry, but I will always be yours that promise to the Olds Gods and back, will you have me?” She happily said and asked of him as she was straddling him. 

Robb didn’t need any time to think about it before saying “I’ll have you now and always, I promise to the Old Gods and back..” 

After that was said, all the two knew for hours was pleasure and passion.

Chapter Text

293 A.C.

Winterfell

Robb Stark

His skills with the sword had vastly improved since he faced that wildling in the forest long ago, he thought afterall he had just beaten Torrhen once again even with Torrhen knowing many of his moves from their sparring together.. He was currently training in the courtyard, with the other heirs and young noblemen of the North, along with some from the Riverlands, and Vale, and of course one of his closest friends Theon Greyjoy. 

“Robb alright you’re up next.” His uncle Roderick Stark said to him. 

Today he along with Ser Brynden Tully, and Ser Arthur Dayne were overseeing our training. The way they trained them all, though him especially was hard and grueling, however, Robb loved this training. From it, his body grew far stronger, faster, and more resilient. He was also the most advanced in his class and was able to best almost everyone his age in training. 

 “Robb you’ll be facing off Smalljon this time, maybe you’ve gotten used to young Torrhen’s fighting style.” Ser Arthur told him. Robb thought he might be somewhat correct as they both sparred often. Though was very excited to spar with Smalljon, his strength was always a good challenge to try to overcome. 

“Alright Stark, you ready to get put on your ass He He?” Smalljon asked me as we were moving to the sparring zone. Smalljon always did like to talk shit, whether it was before, during, or after the fight he always did it.

“The last time we sparred, didn’t I put you on your ass Smaljon?” He asked him back with a smirk. 

“I let you win last time because it was your name-day that’s all now get ready to be destroyed!” Smalljon quickly replied to me, right before he launched a power overhead blow at me with his sword. 

“Sure you let you me win, sure you did.” He replied to Smalljon as he quickly moved his sword up to block the blow. Smalljon was always trying to make it seem like you never won whether you did it or not, though Robb thought it was just a tactic to piss people off and them to strike in anger and without thought, but Robb would remain defensive right now, better to let him think he has the advantage. 

“Dammit!” Smalljon yelled out as he began a series of attacks so strong that I had almost lost the grip on my sword. Smalljon must’ve realized that he wasn’t gonna fall for his tactic and get pissed off and act irrationally, Robb had fallen for that before, and he had ended up getting beaten and put on his ass. 

Robb then decided to fight almost entirely defensively, and rely on counterattacks, and parries to use against him, as Smalljon tired himself out with his heavy strikes. However, Robb knew that he couldn’t use this tactic during the entire fight, Smalljon had more stamina than he did, so Robb looked for the best movement to counter and disarm him. 

For the next two minutes, Robb stayed true to his strategy when he noticed a pattern Smalljon was making, on the sixth strike he left his left leg open, and Robb would take advantage of it.

“What’s the matter Stark, come on hit me already, I know you aren’t gonna just stand there like a craven!” Smalljon then yelled. 

Robb was getting pissed off at this, but he still wouldn’t fall for Smalljon’s strategy. 

THERE!!! Smalljon just left his leg open, and Robb immediately took advantage of it. 

Robb proceeded to parry Smalljon’s strike, before tripping up his exposed leg, kicking his sword away once he was on the ground, and then forced the tip of his sword to Smalljon's neck.

“Yield!” Robb demanded, with a smirk. Robb knew Smalljon had no choice but to yield. 

“I yield,” Smalljon said with an unhappy face. 

Robb knew that his beating Smalljon would hurt his pride, he was four years older than him and stronger and taller. However Robb still helped Smalljon up, but before he could say anything, he heard applause causing him to turn to his right and see his sister Arya along with Rhaenys, Viserra, Selene, and some of their other friends. Robb somehow knew that they would’ve been here watching, as they took up more interest in swordplay than the others. 

“Good job, we all knew you’d win!” Rhaenys said to him, as the other other girls all went and said similar things to what she said. 

As Robb felt his face heating up, he had to admit he was flattered, as ever since they hatched the dragons in the Wolfswood and he fought that wildling and only won because of Grey Wind, if they hadn’t brought the direwolves with them… he couldn’t even imagine what that Wildling would’ve down to them, he himself would’ve only been dead, but the girls would've been essentially made slaves and forced through terrors he didn’t even want to think about, as he had heard of the things Wildlings had done to the Northern people for thousands of years. 

Robb had vowed that he would do his best to put their barbaric practices to an end once he took power, as after the incident he had asked his father why hadn’t his ancestors hadn’t taken measures to end their raids, only for him to tell Robb “Son I’m entirely sure we could, it’d most likely take a long campaign that lasted years to even gain a slight amount of control over them.” though he father did later add that he’d have some parts of the Winter Guard go out in small groups and begin hunting down signs of wildlings as in his father’s words “if a single wildling managed to get this far south and close Winterfell something is very wrong with the Night's Watch.” before he then sent supplies to the Night’s Watch to aid them. Shortly after that, his father told him that reports of Wildlings attacks had dropped by over 90 percent since then. 

“Robb???” he heard Selene ask with a questioning face. This slightly startled him as he was caught up in his thoughts.

“Sorry, Selene I was distracted. What was it you had to say?” He replied and then asked of her. 

“We were going to all give you our favor, the others are in their lessons and can’t, but they gave them to us to give to you now before the Tourney and Melee starts and we have to get dressed,” Selene told him. 

Part of him figured that he should’ve expected this, this was kind of the obvious reason that they’d be here. When it was so close to the time of the tournament starting especially when they weren't properly dressed for it, he was still glad they met him before it. 

“Well my betroths and sister, I thank you all and I graciously accept your favors, and my victory will be dedicated to all of you.” He told them, causing them to break out in smiles before they then went and tied the favors which were all just a small cloth to his arms, though he gave every one of them a small kiss as they did it, though Arya only received a kiss on the forehead, though he could’ve sworn she had a hint of disappointment across her face before she smiled and went back over to join his betroths. 

“Robb we wish to give you our favor too.” causing him to look over and see his cousin Lady Berena Stark and her cousins Ladies Berena and Sara Umber, the only daughters of Lord Greatjon Umber. 

This gave him a bit of a shock, Berena and Sara almost always bet on their brother Smalljon to win, it made him wonder why they would give him their favor now, though before he could ask them they had to see his confused look as they immediately said: “Smalljon’s has been a prick these last few days, we just want to see you wipe that arrogant attitude off of him.” Sara had told him, with her sister nodding in agreement. 

“Well, I see no harm in that either ladies, I’d be most gracious to receive your favors.” He told the three of them. Causing them to do the same as his betroths and Arya did by tying their favors on his arm. 

“Well, we have to go get ready Robb, see you soon, and good luck!” Viserra told him before all the girls left to get prepared. 

Robb looked down at his arms at all the favors, as he saw Stark, Targaryen, Umber, Tully, and Baratheon favors adorning his two arms. Robb knew he had to win this, he didn’t want to let them or himself down.

Robb’s Tourney Preparation LEMON/SMUT

There was nothing like this to help ease some of his stress, the sight of Ros’ buxom tits as she undressed her top was glorious as he took in the sight of her and felt his cock getting hard. 

He and Ros had continued their trysts ever since she had moved into the castle after he helped her get the position of apprentice to his personal tailor a year ago.

“You just love this tits don’t you?” Ros told him as she knelt forward bringing them closer to him before saying, “Go ahead and suck them!” 

Robb was already making his way to them and already had the nipple of her left tit in his mouth as he started sucking and biting it, while he used one of his hands to play with her other large, supple, and firm tit, switching up between hard and light twist and rubbing her hard nipple, causing her to erupt in moans. 

Ros then grabbed his cock with one of her hands and started to jerk up, with her hands' firm grip going up and down at the pace that she knew he loved, causing him to begin light moans himself. 

“It’s horrible that we can’t go all the way because we don’t have a lot of time.” Ros then said before she quickly knelt to her knees.

After she was on her knees, Ros then began to spit on his cock, as she now used both of her hands to jerk his cock, causing him to moan out even louder as the wet slapping sounds of her spit-covered hands on his cock started to echo throughout the room. 

“Fuck Ros, you know I want to shove my cock down you’re throat,” he told her as he gently grabbed her head and begin to help her down. He knew he couldn’t leave her an absolute mess, so he wouldn’t fuck her throat like he normally would, as the heir's tourney was going to begin in only a short while.

“I will but first,” she said as she took her hands off his cock, and grabbed her tits before she guided his cock between her breast, before started gliding her tits up and down between them.

Robb loved this, the feeling of her firm but soft tits felt amazing and caused him to moan out, as his cock began to drip out precum over her tits. 

Ros took his moans as a sign, she then knelt her head down and started spitting on his cook again, however now much of it was getting in between the valley of her breasts before she began to lick and suck the head of his cock. 

“Ahhh fuck Ros, I’m gonna end up cumming soon if you keep that up,” he told her.

She looked up at him with her eyes as she gave off a small smirk, before beginning to glide his shaft up and down even faster with her tits.

“I know you love this Robb, I feel your cock twitching so hard and I know you’re about to cum soon, but I can’t let you make a mess all over me again, are you ready for me to swallow your delicious seed?” Ros asked him, as she continued to fuck his cock with her tits even faster. 

Robb refused to answer her, instead he simply began to buck his hips to match her movements. 

“Fuck, I love it when you do when you fuck my cock with those tits of yours, that's my good fucking girl, fuck I’m gonna cum!” Robb said before he quickly removed his cock from her tits and immediately guided his cock to her mouth before shoving her head down his shaft. 

“Gawk, gawk” were the only sounds Ros made for several pumps as he held her head down and fucked his cock deep into her mouth and down her throat as she gagged until he felt the familiar tightening of his balls and unloaded his cum deep into her throat, afterall he couldn’t afford to let her make a mess with his seed and be a mess for the tourney.

 “Ahhh ahhh ahhh” was all the noise that both of them could make for a solid minute after he came, as they took deep breaths to calm down. 

“I can’t wait until later tonight Robb,” Ros said as she brought one of her hands up from under her undergarments before she showed him her wetness before bringing it up to her lips before licking it, and then bringing it to his mouth, where he took several of her fingers into his mouth. “you’ll be the one making me cum with your mouth before you claim my pussy again.” 

“Not even the gods themselves could keep me from coming to you tonight,” he started to say, however before he could finish he heard the large bell tolls.

“FUCK! I need to leave before they start sending for me!” He remorsefully told her, as he quickly got up and got dressed, as she did the same. 

However, before he left he quickly grabbed her and pulled her into a deep kiss, “You better be in chambers by the time I leave the feast tonight or I’ll come back in, grab you up, and take you right there in front of everyone.” he growled at her, causing an even longer lust-filled look to take hold of her before she then went kissed him deeply before quickly going to his neck and leaving a lovebite on it. 

“Good luck, and remember who just swallowed your seed and marked you, that's my favor, and when you win tonight we’ll have an even better time.” She told him. 

It caused his cock to twich once more and almost made him undress again and fuck her right there, but he knew he couldn’t, so with a simple “I’ll win” before he quickly rushed out to join the rest of the competitors. 

—-----------------------------------------------------------------

Lemon/SMUT over

The Winter City Dragonpit

The Dragonpit of Winter City not only served as the grand stable for their dragons but also as a grand stadium.

Ever since his father had renovated it from the former barracks and rarely used tourney and Melee field that it was, the dragonpit had found use as the home of their dragons and through his father allowing many smaller melees, tourneys, races, and chariot races since it was fully converted, as a way to recoup some of the cost of the conversion, but none of them were as large or as grand as this. 

The Dragonpit was originally based on the plans from the famed Targaryen Dragonpit, though Cregan Stark had made it closet to their house's heritage and culture as First Men, as their were many sculptures and engraving of Stark, First Men Runes, images of Weirwoods carved everywhere inside the pit, though there were a few dragon motifs inside as well. Though it was still the same size as the Targaryen Dragonpit in King's Landing, it was still able to hold over 150,000 people, which was close to a third of the entire Winter City population.

The noise of the crowd was the loudest thing he heard, and Robb wouldn’t hesitate to admit that he had never been as nervous as he was now, he was never more glad to have met up with Ros before now. 

He looked around and saw at least 100 young noblemen close in age to himself, all armored in the standard tourney armor that represented where they were from, along with shields, blunted longswords, and various other blunted weapons, afterall his father wouldn’t ever let any harm come to him or any other of the young noblemen here. 

Robb had noticed banners from throughout the North, parts of the Riverlands, parts of the Vale, and even some from Dorne and the Westerlands, as he surveyed the field. Robb knew that this here would be the most important moment in his life so far when he heard a deafening bang. 

The starting gongs had just gone off, and with it, he sought off for his first opponent, for he knew couldn’t let himself be overwhelmed by the pressure, especially since this was his first actual melee he fought in even if it was only a heirs melee. 

Just as he had finished his thoughts, he had spotted his first opponent, who was none other than Benfred Tallhart, and while Benfred was two years his senior, he was more than confident in his abilities. 

“TALLHART COME HERE AND FACE ME!!!” he shouted at him before he quickly rushed at him and launched two quick strikes at him. 

Robb had instantly noticed that while he was younger than Benfred, he was both taller and stronger than him, so in the quick duel between them, he was easily able to disarm Benfred when after his first two strikes, Benfred tried to strike toward his sword arm, however, Robb saw it coming and parried the move before immediately striking the sword out of his hand before striking his shield arm with the back of his sword, before bringing up his shield and using it to give one quick and with a loud cry he gave a powerful blow to Benfred’s torso with it, which knocked him unconscious, there one down, plenty more to go.

He then heard a familiar but still unrecognizable voice cry out “AHHHH!!! For Hornwood!!!” Causing him to look to his right and immediately have to dodge to avoid being struck. Once he recovered from the would-be blow, he realized that it was his friend Daryn Hornwood.

“Well come on Daryn!!!” Robb yelled out in a roar. Robb knew this wasn’t a true betrayal, and he knew that Daryn would’ve possibly had to fight him, but seeing him trying to knock him out from behind made him angry, though Robb thought it was a great tactic though.

Robb immediately launched a flurry of blows at him, he knew that Daryn wouldn’t be able to take them long, and he was proven correct when he after the fourth slash he made towards Daryn, Daryn left his left leg exposed. Robb quickly took advantage of it by tripping him up with his right leg before quickly bringing his longsword down and knocking Daryn out by hitting him with the pommel on his sword. 

Robb then quickly ran off into the rest of the fray and throughout the next hour he lost count of how many opponents he fought, as he hacked, slashed, dodged, parried, bashed, and countered in the fight until it was only him and one other opponent.

“Huh, huhh huhh!  Robb, it’s only me and you now!” his friend Quentyn Martell said while he was heavily breathing. 

His words caused Robb to start looking around the rest of the field, and he saw that there were no other competitors left standing beside the two of them, the rest were either knocked out and being taken off the field, or already taken off the field after being knocked out and were currently watching them. 

Robb himself had just eliminated Patrek Mallister with a quick counter move that disarmed him before he forced the blade of his longsword up to his neck forcing him to yield.

“Huhh huhh so it is,” Robb said while he was also breathing heavily before he began to advance on Quentyn. Robb was exhausted and his body sore all over from the exertion of swinging his sword and shield along with the hits and bruises he had taken in the fighting, however, Robb would not let that stand in his way.

He immediately charged at Quentyn only to be met with Quentyn’s shield, he then felt more than saw Quentyn’s sword coming at him and raised his shield in response a caught Quentyn’s blow in response.

“Come on is that the best you’ve got Snake!!!” Robb yelled before immediately blocking a blow, though this time with his sword instead of his shield. Good Robb thought, get him worked up, enough to where he’ll make a mistake. Robb knew he was almost too exhausted to continue, and with the way he knew Quentyn’s fighting style was better to work against him right now, as the two had trained against each other before. 

“Quiet Stark!’ Quentyn shouted before he again began to rain down more blows on him though Robb still blocked each of them, however, Robb noticed these blows were far heavier and realized now was his chance, for Quentyn’s body was mainly built for quick and agile strikes not heavy attacks. 

Robb then quickly used his shield to give a strong bash to Quentyn’s torso causing him to get staggered before Robb then hit his face with the pommel of his sword causing Quentyn to fall. 

Robb then quickly rushed and stepped on Quentyn’s hand as he saw it reaching for his sword before he hurriedly lowered the dulled edge of his sword down on Quentyn’s neck. 

“Yield now!” he demanded of Quentyn. Robb was so elated that he’d won his first melee.

“I yield Stark” Quentyn quickly said before he raised his hand for Robb to grab and help him up. 

As Robb helped him up, he heard deafening roars throughout the stadium and he looked around at the over hundred thousand people all cheering for him and smiled before he raised his sword and shield in the air and shouted out “YESSSSS!!!!!” which only caused even more deafening roars from the crowd.
