House of the wolf

chapter 3



As I stretch out of the covers I realize it´s been about six years since I was born in this world. I thought long and hard about what to do with the information about the potential betrayals and how to approach Father and Robb about this. 

 

And figured the only way without them thinking that I was a crazy person. Was to approach them individually and tell them about my “nightmares” in confidence and frame it as a vision, a warning from the old gods since Ned seems to take stock in omens and things like that so that´s how I frame it. A vision of the stags fighting each other and the Lion, two towers, and the flayed man and the Kraken attack house Stark. Suggesting that the Boltons and Frey´s will betray House Stark and not to trust someone also someone called Littlefinger. 

 

And while they did not take me seriously I have planted the seed for that thought to fester in their hearts and minds for that possibility and prey it helps. So we won´t fall for their deceit in the future.

 

As I walk to the dinner table for breakfast I see Sansa next to Mother with Arya on her lap and I go to sit between Robb and Jon at the table while Bran is at the crib.

 

It's been a busy few years for Catelyn but she has soldiered through each pregnancy without a hitch. For the babies I mean. Catelyn herself was kicking and screaming through each of the deliveries. Hmm now that I think about it. So were the babies… nasty work pregnancies but hey as long as I´m happy who´s complaining.

 

“Are you boys ready for your lessons” Ned addresses us regarding the things disguised as lessons he makes the household teach us to keep us busy and away from making too much trouble during the day.

 

“Yes, yes” we echo as I start to dig in on my breakfast consisting of beef, eggs and vegetables to fill me up since I have refused to eat bread since I was born in this world this has become my standard breakfast with a good mix of other healthy options as well on other days its good to mix it up. Ahh, it's good to be a little lord.

 

“And you Edwyn are you still learning the old tongue?” “yes Father, I already know how to speak it as well as old Nan does. But it takes longer to learn how to write it as the runes have many so different meanings”

 

“Good Robb I will start teaching you personally today in all the duties that will be expected of you as heir of Winterfell be ready after breakfast” “Yes Father” 

 

As I look at Jon I see him pouting a little because Ned did not address him I smile and ask him what lesson he wants and he frowns and says “I don´t know” I suggest that maybe he should ask Maester Luwin to teach him something. 

 

But he does not seem to like that idea by the expression he´s showing “Maybe ask one of the townspeople to teach you their skills” “The townspeople? he repeats mildly offended” Then we hear  “That´s not a bad idea” and realize Ned is looking at us with a thoughtful expression.
