Direwolf

[Ned leaves. Bran resumes preparing his saddle, but he also now looks uneasy.]

[The Starks and their guards are shown returning to Winterfell. As they are passing through the Wolfswood, they come across a dead stag in the middle of the road. The stag's side and belly have been ripped open, its entrails torn out, and part of one of its antlers has been ripped off. Ned gets off his horse to inspect it. Jon, Theon, and Ashter follow him.]

"Who would do that?" Jason asked horrified. "People that doesn't like that or just doesn't care." Demeter said.

"What is it?" Jon asked. "Mountain lion?" Theon said. "There are no mountain lions in these woods." Ned said. "You sure about that, Father? I mean, the thing's been totally torn apart. What else could it have been?" Ashter said as Ned has a look on his face indicating that he is thinking the same thing. He warily pulls his sword out and goes off to search the area.

"Then want is it?" Piper asked confused.

The others follow him. They continue on for a bit until they discover the corpse of a dead direwolf, the remaining part of the stag's antler through its throat. Crowding around the corpse are several direwolf pups.

"Awe poor pups." Iris said sadly. "Poor them." Jason agreed with Iris.

Ned kneels down to look over the direwolf corpse, as does Jon. Several of the others, including Robb, Rodrik, and Jory, all look somewhat unnerved.

"It’s a freak..." Theon said. "Well, then, the two of you will get along just fine, then." Ashter said sarcastic as Theon glares at him. Ned glances warningly at Ashter, subtly telling him that now was not the time. He resumes looking over the corpse.

"They renaind me of someone." Apollo whispered to Artemis.  "I know bro." Artemis said.

"It’s a direwolf." Ned said as he and Ser Rodrik glance at each other. "Tough old beast." Ned said as he yanks out the part of the antler. Robb still looks somewhat unnerved. "There are no direwolves south of the wall..." Robb said.

"A direwolf they look cute." Frank had said as he and Artemis looked excited.

"Now there are six." Jon said as Rodrik goes over to kneel beside Jon. "Actually, there's seven." Rodrik said as Jon does a quick head count. "You're right, Rodrik. Seven." Jon said as he stands up, picking up one of the pups.

"You want to hold it?" Jon said to Bran as he then takes the pup. "Where will they go? Their mother’s dead." Bran said concerned.

"A perks of having a dead beat." Ares said as he looks at Hera. "He doesn't mean it mother." Hebe whisper as Hera felt tears rolling down.

"They don’t belong down here." Rodrik said as Ned stands up. "Better a quick death. They won’t last without their mother." Ned said. "Right." Theon agreed as he goes over to take the pup Bran is holding. "Give it here." Theon said as he takes the pup and pulls out a knife.

Everyone eyes widened.

"NO!" Bran yelled out. "Put away your blade!" Robb yelled. "I take orders from your father, not you." Theon said as Ashter gets up in Theon's face. "Do what he says, Greyjoy." Ashter said threateningly. "Are you threatening me?" Theon asked.

"As he should they wanting to kill innocent direwolves." Thalia said as Hera looked away. "They look better with me but they can keep them." Aphrodite said as no one payed no mind.

"Both of you, stop!" Ned yelled to Ashter and Theon as Ashter backs off. Theon is still holding the direwolf pup and his knife. Jon is stil staring intently at the other pups.
