Azriel Snow

Part 5

When Jaime came to Winterfell, he did not expect to ever see his brother and Jon Snow passed out drunk on the ground.

Though if he had to be honest, he never expected to enjoy himself either.

When news of the Stark children's demise reached them, everyone was stunned as to how an entire generation of Starks just died when it hadn't been so long since the past generation died the way it did, leaving Ned and Benjen Stark as the sole survivors.

At the same time, Jon Arryn had mysteriously gotten sick and passed away as well.

Then, his father's ships had spotted the Iron Islands burning and a Dragon flying overhead towards The North. Rumors about Ned Stark's bastard son having magic spread as well as him being a Dragonrider.

Robert had raged and ranted about Targaryen ghosts haunting them all while they rode North.

To watch that Albino Dragon sleeping outside Winterfell was terrifying and breathtaking. It's scales glistened in the sunlight and filled him with awe. Its massive size filled him with dreadful thoughts over what could happen to his family if they fuck up, now that the Starks had the power of Dragonfire on their side. Tyrion was certainly an example of it as he had sneaked away from the party to go into a brothel in Wintertown but pissed himself while coming back to the contingent after witnessing the Dragon flying around.

When Jaime saw Barbrey Dustin's bastard son while entering Winterfell, he thought he saw Brandon Stark's ghost and the Direwolf only confirmed it. The rumors were true. If the Tully twat was still around, she would have thrown the boy out or abused him at worst, but Winterfell had a heir and future Lord in the form of Ned Stark's newly legitimized son, who had no tolerance for 'Andal bullshit', as he was rumored to have called it.

He didn't expect any of Ned Stark's children to be open with the Southerners, but Azriel Snow surprised him by sitting at a table full of Stark, Lannister and Baratheon guardsmen. Jaime might not have been the sharpest tool in the smithy, but even he recognized Azriel giving away that mysterious Beer drink and getting them drunk, sneaking away as his cousin sang.

Jaime recognized the great song Jon Snow sang for what it was; a bloody fucking masterpiece !. It aroused the emotions of brotherhood and unity..... and so Jaime sang with him, and then Tyrion chimed in, and most of the entire hall sang with them.

Jaime never had such a good day since he joined the Kingsguard.

" well bastard, you sing well. Did your whore mother pass that talent onto you ? " Joffrey said from beside him and Sandor Clegane as Jon Snow and Tyrion had woken up. Jon glared at Joffrey.

As Jaime stared at Jon Snow, he started feeling guilty. It was because of him that the boy never knew his father. If only he had stabbed Aerys sooner with his sword, instead of reluctantly giving it away for the mock trial.

" or was it your father ?. He did scream loud while choking " Joffrey sneered and both Jon and Tyrion were pissed at Joffrey.

Jaime had enough as he came and slapped Joffrey for that comment.

Ned and Robert, who just came and heard the entire thing, were about to intervene until they saw what happened and were shocked, as were Sandor and Tyrion.

Joffrey stared at Jaime in shock, clutching his reddened cheek while crying as he glared at his uncle.

" Why you !!!. I am telling mother - "

" Tell her to teach you manners, boy " Jaime sneered.

" You can't talk to me like that !. I AM THE PRINCE !!! " Joffrey growled and then Jaime backhanded him so hard that he fell to the ground and his left cheek was now covered with bright red.
