The Stark family sat quietly, in shock, as Ashara finished her story. Of, why she left, that she was the Princess of Ariies, her father, the prophecy, Daenerys, and Jany, then finally Jon.

"Well seems you had quiet an adventure," Robb chuckled, and Ashara nudghed him on the shoulder.

There was an akward silence and Ashara saw Catlyen staring at her, which made her uncomfortable.

Jany yawned and her eyes fluttered close.

"Well I guess it's time for bed," Ashara sighed, "We have much to discuss tomorrow Ned." She stood up and took Jany in her arms, Jon helping her, and carried her to Ashara's old room.

"They are perfect for each other," Sansa sighed. Ned stood up quickly and left the room, Catlyen was shocked, Ned never left like that something must be on his mind.

"Hmm, now off to bed all of you, it is late, and Robb, Theon needs your help in the armory," Catlyen smiled. All the children got up and left, and Robb off to the armory.

Ned was sitting outside by the stables when Arya had to get some air, it was the middle of the night and the wolves howled and the wind ran through the trees. Ghost, Jon's direwolf who he had to leave behind when he went after her, was walking behind her.

"Ashara," Ned spoke when he looked up and saw her.

"My Lord," she said curtsing.

"Ashara," he replied, "No need to say that, you are always apart of this household."

She walked up to him and sat on the hay block next to him.

"Have you ever felt so confused with so many events at one time you feel as if you are to collapse," she asked.

"With what events, my dear," Ned asked and put an arm around the girl.

"Well, I am now the Princess of Ariies, which is splendid, but I sometimes wish I never left. And Jon I love him so much, but if my father found out he would send Jon away and make me marry a noble lord of him approval. Janyance, the sweetest little girl, who I now have adopted and I just want her to be safe with no war or violence," Ashara replied, "And now I have to lead a war that I don't want to, only that I want my people to be free from the thought of fear from the outside." She sighed heavily, frustrated, and put her face in her hands. Ghost whined and put him head on her knees.

"I felt the same way when I went forth with Robert's rebellion. I did not want to fight but I knew it was the right ting for the realm."

"Really," she asked, lifting her head up. Ned nodded his head.

"I couldn't think of a better leader in all the realm," Ned smiled.

"Well maybe because I had a commendable father and teacher," she spoke and hugged the man, "I know you are not my father, but you are the only man I am willing to call father."

"And I am willing to call you daughter."

The next morning a raven came from Daenerys. It replied:

Princess Ashara,

It seems that there were some complications with our ship in the free cities. Our fleet will not be ready for another month. I am deeply sorry, but I will arrive and will can take back the seven kingdoms, and bring peace.

Queen Daenerys

Ashara looked up from the letter.

"What is it," Robb asked after taking a bite of bacon.

Ashara looked over to Ned and nodded.

"Now, I have some important buisness to discuss with Ashara and Jon," Ned declared standing up, "Robb we need you too."

Ashara took Jany off her lap and she, Jon and Robb followed Ned to the library.

~~

"What," Robb shouted.

"Robb, calm down," Ashara shouted back with almost the same amount of force in her voice.

"We all knew Joffery was a little prick the would never be capable of ruling," Jon uttered, as he paced back and forth.

"Father, you truly think that we are to put our family in danger just to bring peace."

"Yes Robb," Ned said.

"He imprisonded you then let you leave Ned," Ashara recounted.

"Barely," Robb breathed quickly, but it wasn't that quiet, they all could hear him.

"Well more and more people are suffering, and now my kingdom is in danger, and I beg your help. The Targeryen Queen said in her letter that it will be a month until she gets a new fleet, so we have time to plan," Ashara sonated, "Will you help me, innocent people, and yourselfs?"

"We shall," Ned replied smiling at her.

"Robb," Ashara asked looking at him.

"Yes," Robb said standing, "If it means getting rid of that ass of a King and putting in a good one."

The grop just smiled and laughed, but then Ashara fell to her knees a threw up all over the ground. Jon was by her side a rubbed circles in her back as she relieved herself.
