Jon
It had been 4 years since Jon Snow left Winterfell to journey the Unknown lands west of Westeros to find himself. The Stark Direwolves had been born early thus he made his trip with his Direwolf pup Ghost. During that time, he had managed to gain a lot of power and influence. The mages and Royal family in Azeroth the land to the west knew who he was, who he truly was, and they knew about the great calamity he had to overcome.
He had Now returned to Westeros with 22 000 men loyal to him. After helping Azeroth in their darkest hours the royal family of Azeroth gifted him with 8 million worth in gold to help him with his wars. Through the magic of green sight or through visions Jon had learned of his identity as Daeron Targaryen, son of Rhaegar and Lyanna stark. He was advised to keep that information to himself for he had no way to prove it without many doubting.
The mages of Azeroth had foreseen the great calamity that would befall Westeros which is why they advised the Royal family to give him so much. Through green sight he was already aware of the war which was happening. He had returned to prepare the North for the coming of the Others and he would not fail. He decided he would do this as Jon Snow the Bastard of Winterfell the truth would remain hidden beneath the snow until the time came for the dragon to reveal himself.
Jon Snow had arrived in Westeros ahead of a new Whitewolf Army. The banners of a white wolf on a black field were all over the place as they landed at sea dragon point. Azeroth made sure that the banners were on every ship, every shield and every armour worn by the soldiers he had. Through green sight he had learned of his cousin's betrayal and vow to avenge him.
Jon sent Ravens to all the lords of the North informing them of who he is and asking them to come and witness as he avenged his brother and their fallen loved ones, he did not ask them to fight but only to witness, but many wanted revenge they would march to witness with their armies. Jon wanted the entire North to Watch. With his Warging the ravens he had brought with him from Azeroth flew directly to were he wanted them to. delivered messages to all the lords of the North
Winterfell
Roose
It had been a moon now that the Boltons settled themselves in Winterfell. News of a Large Army marching to Winterfell had just reached Lord Boltons ears
'How many men' Roose asked
'Our scouts say 17 000 plus men father' Ramsey responded. Roose paled the writing was on the wall for them, he could not see a way out of this
Jon had sent 5000 to take Moat Cailin from the Greyjoys with the help of the 1000 Cronnigman. Word of the white wolf army taking the Moat had reached Roose Boltons ears adding to his despair.
Roose was now visibly worried he had received his own raven from the leader of this White wolf army. Roose knew full well that this was an enemy force. The entire North knew that a son of Lord Eddard had return to Westeros. They were outnumbered and no one would come to their rescue.
'Father we have 6 000 men here in Winterfell we should call for more men'
'Jon Snow sent ravens to all the lords of the North, many will side with him or remain neutral, less will risk battle against a force this big' Roose said
'Moat Cailin's been taken by Jon Snows forces, we can't escape to the south'
'What about the Karstarks' Ramsay asked
'The Karstarks might also remain neutral I have sent a raven'
'Let's ask the Lennisters for help'
'I have already sent a Raven to the Capital but it's pointless the Lennisters will never make it in time.
'What do we do than father'
'We fortify Winterfell and wait for our allies and our enemy to arrive'
The Boltons prepared the best they could, their newly found position was unsecure. Roose new most of the Lords would never fight for them. He was screwed. The days passed till the day he had dreading arrived, the day he saw the great white wolf army marching in the distance. It was a far superior army even at first glance. It didn't look like a northern army, but an army fit for a royalty. The army looked more organised, and the armours worn but soldiers looked more expensive, even tents looked more expensive navy-blue tents with White Wolf stitched all over them.
'Snow must have spent a lot of money on this army' Roose said
'it will be ours after we kill him' Ramsey said
'Don't be stupid boy there's no way we of winning this'
'Father, give me 20 good men' Ramsay said. He was clearly delusional thinking he could change the outcome of this Roose thought
Kinglanding
The Capital had been mourning the death of King Joffrey who had just been poisoned. Tyrion Lannister was charge as the culprit and his wife escaping the Capital made him look even more guilty. Two days had passed since Joffrey's death and a small council meeting was called.
'Well then Varis tell us why you requested a meeting today' Tywin began
'Dark tidings' Pycelle spoke up before Varis
'This is a raven sent from the North by Lord Bolton' said PycelleÂ
Tywin took the scroll and read a message which he could not believe, this was not something any of them had foreseen.
'Jon Snow where did this boy come from who is he? Tywin asked after reading the scroll
'Ned starks bastard my lord, the boy disappeared 4 years ago so even I do not know where he has been the last 4 years' the spider said
'Over 20 000 men' Tywin asked in disbelief after reading the letter again
'What do your spies say about this army Varis? Oberyn asked. The prince of Dorne had just been appointed into the small council after Joffreys death.
'My Latest birds report that a small fraction of the Army has taken Moat Calin the rest of the Army should have arrived outside Winterfell by now' Varis said
'All my birds report of Jon Snow's dire wolf which is said to be much bigger than the wolf the Young Wolf had'.
'Another dire wolf' Oberyn spoke
'Yes, the beast is said to stand as tall as a man and it is white which is why Jon Snow is called the white wolf. Some of the other Northern Lords seem to have answered Jon Snows call and are now moving towards Winterfell with what remains of their armies' the spider finished
'Then the is no way of helping Roose' Tywin said 'even if we marched, we'd never make it in time'
'And Moat Calin is garrisoned, the North is sealed off,' said Oberyn
'Yes, my lord it would seem Roose Boltons fate is sealed' Pycelle spoke 'all we can do is wait for the outcome' he finished.
'That Army is too far away to be a treat; Varis keep an eye on them send more spies North and find Peter Baelish and Sansa stark' Tywin said with a serious look in his face. He had thought everything was said and done, that there would be no more threats coming from the North.
'Yes, my Lord'
The meeting continue Varis spoke of the Targaryen girl to the East who ruled Meereen with an Army and 3 Dragons. They weren't really concerned about her as she was far away.
Olenna
She was sitting with Margeary in one of the gardens of Kinglanding which overlook the ocean when her son Mace came to share the new development.
'What news from the small council Mace' she asked
'It would seem the Wolves aren't gone and dead yet mother' he said
'What do you mean father' asked Margeary
'Jon Snow the bastard of Winterfell landed in the North with an army of over 20Â 000 men, we are not sure about the exact number' he said surprising both women
'Jon Snow, the stark bastard who disappeared 4 years ago' Olenna asked Mace nodded
'Who is he, where has he been 'Margaery asked
'I don't know my child, bastards are usually of no concern' Mace said
'He feels like a concern now the North will rally behind him and the Lannisters lost Sansa Stark the only leverage they had' Margaery said worried
'It seems the is a new player in the great game, a player no one saw coming' Olenna saidÂ
'Mace find out more about this, we will be tied to the Lannister's soon, any treat to them is a treat to us' she said
'yes mother' he said
It would be weeks before they got any concrete information on what was happening in the North
