GOT AU: They’ll reclaim what was taken from them, reclaim what has been lost to their bloodline - and then they’ll take the world until everyone cowers upon their knees.
(‘How does it end?’ Rickon asked the Spirits)
His father had once said, ‘The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword’.
And so he does.
Again.
And again.
And again.
There is no end.
Young Wolf. Dark Wolf. Black Wolf.
Monstrosity.
‘There is no hope, the Old Gods have spoken’ the people cry.
Some say that he is crazed, that there are no remnants of his honorable father or eldest brother. Only insanity.
No mercy is to be found in the youngest Stark. Inside him, others say he bears the wrath of the Gods.That the Gods have reclaimed the Blood of the First Men and with them, they will unleash terrors unseen for eons.
The people will learn, will be reminded that the Old Gods are ruthless and cruel and infinite.
The wrath of the Gods and the burn of the cold are incessant.
Never again would the fury of Winter be forgotten or the North forsaken.
(‘Death’ the Children of the Forest cackle. ‘In blood. In ice. In death’
‘Good’ he replied, a smile on his face and manic fury in his eyes)
