Summary
What is a required to change the future? A desperate throw of a broken man trying to save his few remaining friends and loved ones? The birth of the expected daughter rather than the feared son? Harsh words by a bitter queen? A desperate ploy from a not so-cunning father?
Eddard Stark was an injured wolf by the time he left King's Landing for the first time, but even a hurt wolf can travel continents for his pack. There was no way he could have foreseen the injuries he would receive before he returned to his lair...nor could have realized the small number of his remaining pack. He would remember. He would remember the pain the south had brought them...the lie which was knighthood and chivalry...the taint which he had brought over himself and why he had done so.
The uncle smiled kindly at the sleeping children. A Stark-grey wolf, a Snow-white she-wolf and a Stone-colored stag.
Robert, Joanna, Lyanna, Brandon whose name he had besmirched and even Rhaegar whom he loathed, they could sleep secure. He would raise their daughters along with his own son.
"Winter will come, little ones." Ned whispered. "And more than the Others it might be lions, snakes and dragons whom you should fear."
