Chapitre 37: Journey to bear island part 1
I remember POV
One day I was having breakfast with all the family, when an Owl informed me of the news, Jorah had thought again with his cock, that with his head, his wife Lynesse Hightower, was a spoiled woman used to luxury, when Jorah could no longer offer her luxury due to the conditions of her house and her little effort to improve it, she preferred to use hunters and sell them as slaves, Ned found out about this and went to execute him, Jorah and his wife fled in a hurry, leaving the island with an inhuman amount of debt, I sighed and asked Lyanna what to do.
Lyanna: So Jorah Mormont screwed up big time and my brother executed him, his house is almost dead and bankrupt.
Adrian: Basically yes, I already knew this would happen and I warned you, I can help you, I thought I would help you.
Lyanna: It would be nice if you help them, they are good people, it's not their fault that their leader is an astronomical idiot, that he thinks with his cock, she said quite annoyed.
Adrián: Well if it is decided, Dulan can prepare plows and different tools, and Davos prepares supplies, food, clothes, and shelter.
Lunara prepares medicines of all kinds, Elentary please prepare me seeds and saplings of fruit trees adapted for cold and wet weather
Now I want Aegon, Rhaenys, Lewyn, and Ygritte to come with me, the children never strayed farther than the isle and Dorne.
Elia and Lyanna looked at me worried: I'm sure no one will recognize them.
Adrian: Sure Rhaenys and Lewyn have more Dornish Traits than Valyrians. Lewyn had asked Elentary for a permanent hair dye to erase her white hair color to a black one like her mother and sister, if Lyanna if you didn't know, you have more family than just in the North the company of the Roses, which works in the disputed lands is all from the North including Starks, who chose to leave because your family bowed the knee to a Targeryan.
Lyanna was surprised by that, she had heard that several families left the north around that time.
The children wanted to go to everything and travel, the mothers looked at them and said: Well, but listen to all the orders of Dulan, Davos, and Elentary .
The 4 nodded and went to prepare for the trip. Everyone laughed at them Aegon and Ygritte, were in a couple, Rhaenys was with Zajim and Lewyn with a girl from the Elven tribe, each had been accepted by a different teacher, Aegon was accepted by Dulan in the art of war, Ygritte she was taught by Elentary in the bow, Rhaenys with Grandmother Seleria in magic, Lewyn trained with Lunara in the art of the spear, and with Davos in navigation.
During noon We left for Bear Island with 14 ships full of products and 10 escort ships, The Ironborns They hated my house to death after the shameful defeat that I dealt them and the pacts that we forced them to sign, they usually annoyed my boats and ran away when we wrecked a couple of them.
I sent a raven halfway to the Island to Lord Stark informing my intentions, it took a short time to receive it, and the response was that he admired my decision and would be present for the delivery of supplies to thank me.

It was morning when Maester Luwin informed me of a letter that arrived from Adrián Trant, my whole family was surprised at that, he was known as a knight with high honor, one of the richest houses in the land of storms, and a warrior without equal, several times my daughter Arya forced me to tell her the stories of the man during the Greyjoy Rebellion, how he single-handedly stormed the gates and fought against Lord Drumm when he was only 10 years old and emerged victorious.
Luwin read the letter first and handed it to me, it said:
Dear Lord Eddard Stark Lord of Winterfell Warden of the North, I am writing this letter to inform you of my decision to help the Mormont Family, with various resources, No offense to you or my people I found out what a mess Jorah Idiot got into and I didn't I can sit around doing nothing I ask your permission to help the Mormont family and the people under it, the resources I take for delivery are Food, Shelter, and Clothing, Plowing Tools, Seeds and Livestock.
This is a gift of friendship between houses Trant and Mormont, it is my responsibility to not warn Jorah when he married off the reality of many houses in the South.
Sincerely, Adrian Trant, Lord of the Gallowsgrey Isles
Eddard reviewed the letter slowly, he was surprised by Adrian, he knew from his wife that he was one of the richest Lords in the land of storms, below the Baratheon house, but extremely rich, he did not participate in tournaments, he constantly helped King's Landing with shipments of food, medicine and clothing for the slums according to his mentor Jon Arryn the boy had everything he needed to be the King's hand one day.
Catelyn pulled me out of my thoughts, I wonder who the letter was from, I passed the letter to her so she could see it even though she was surprised.
Catelyn: Because Lord Trant would send supplies to the Mormont house, he would not be gaining anything from it, which he will be planning.
Ned: Planning does not plan anything Cat, the boy has a great sense of Honor and it is true during the rebellion Greyjoy gave Jorah a warning, he must feel guilty for what happened and not stop Jorah with his marriage.
Catelyn had heard the stories of the young Lord, even her father had sent him letters telling him to commit Sansa to him, today he was a single Lord, he was even considered one of the most desirable Lords, according to gossip he was extremely beautiful, with a trained body, and quite rich and a person with incredible morals according to his uncle Brynden Tully, who had met him several times.
Both Robb and Arya looked impatiently at their father, both of whom had heard of Adrian Trant as a fearsome warrior. Sansa knew him from the maids' gossip about his beauty and chivalry toward the people.
Catelyn: what do you plan to do Ned?
Ned thought about it and said: I will personally go to the Island and receive with Maege Mormont the things that Adrián will bring, the boy must not be planning anything wrong with this.
Catelyn nodded, before she could say anything both Robb and Arya begged their father to go to the island to meet Lord Trant.
Ned was surprised: Do you want to meet Lord Trant that much? The man looked at his wife who sighed shaking her head.
Arya: Father, he is considered one of the greatest warriors along with Ser Barristan. Selmy, Ser Dulan Ironforge, and Ashen the Blood Dancer are both in service to Adrian Trant and the Late Arthur Dayne.
Catelyn didn't like Dulan. Ironforge was a dwarf, a being born of lust and sin according to religion, but according to everyone he was a feared warrior who defended all the inhabitants of the stone septum, from Jon Connington and I fought with Ned in Robert's rebellion and was known to both.
Robb: He is also the youngest lord, he assumed the mantle of Lord at the age of 10 and improved the finances of his house, being the 2 richest house in stormlands, almost touching the Baratheon in the first place and his treatment of small people. It is heard in the 7 kingdoms that there is no leader wiser than him.
Ned agreed with that: the boy had proven that he was a military and political genius, and there was never a single bad rumor heard about him, moreover Robert and Jon constantly praise him in their letters.
Ned sighed and said: okay I'll take you if you want to meet him, but please don't bother him or his fellow Travelers too much, both Sons were excited they were going to meet an important figure in their fields, get ready we'll leave tomorrow, Cat you want to join us I ask.
Catelyn: No husband someone has to run the castle, Sansa wants to go meet Lord Trant? She wanted her daughter to marry Joffrey Baratheon so she would be Queen of the 7 kingdoms.
Sansa: No mother I'll be fine I'll stay here for my lessons, although I was curious about Lord Adrian, she knew her mother's plans and with whom he wanted to commit her and she agreed she deserved a king as a husband
End of Memory NED
During the trip I tried all 4, Aegon provides him with dueling sword art we lasted 30 minutes in a duel with real swords, he had good strength and endurance, he was unpredictable both Dulan and Arthur had trained him perfectly, then After 30 minutes, he finished the fight by winning.
I continue with Ygritte, in a target shooting competition, Dulan will shoot targets into the sky and we will shoot at them, she hits 24 out of 30 targets I hit 27 out of 30, continues Rahenys evaluated her use of Water magic, and her attack modes and his use of the whip which he learned from his cousin Obara, finally he evaluated Lewyn I ask Davos to leave him in command and not say a single word to him he will guide us much of the way to Bear Island.
After evaluating them I told everyone.
Adrián: You know why he provides the 4 with everything they trained, the four shook their heads, so I said I'm going to give the four of them an official position on the island if they want.
Aegon will appoint you as Lord Commander of the Spring Guard, Aegon seemed puzzled by the position, I tell him your job Aegon will be to take care of the citizens of the Island, everyone in case something happens you have control over the walls, siege weapons, and city defense.
Ygritte I will appoint you as commander of the Foresters, they are in charge of guarding the forests and the city together with Aegon while he focuses on the infantry and cavalry, you on the archers, Arbalesteros, Crossbowmen, and Creatures of the forest.
Rahenys Grandma Saleria recommended you as the Principal Magician, you have a talent for water and whip magic, she wants you to lead the new magicians of the Island.
Lewyn to you Davos and Mauren recommended you as Leader of one of the Marine Fleets, you are talented in navigation and use of spear and trident.
So they said they would accept these positions, and after a silence, they all accepted their positions, Aegon would have 1500 men under his charge, Ygritte will have 1000, Rhaenys have 200 wizards and Lewyn has a total of 100 ships.
Then he gave each of them a personal weapon forged by their Masters, Dulan gave Aegon a bastard sword, it was Sapphire Blue and black, and it had beautiful Wolf designs. on the sheet
Ygritte received a Longbow from Elentary, the bow didn't shoot arrows, it channeled wind magic and turned it into an arrow, she was given a quiver to hide the arrows for the time being.
Rahenys received a staff of the tides from Cecilia and Saleria, she could handle the water of the atmosphere and use it
Lewyn, who received a spear from Mauren, could guide the wind so that his power was greater.
After this, I tell you.
Adrián: Aegon one more thing, when we get to the Island you can no longer be called Aegon, you will be Jon until we leave, your uncle and cousins will be present, your origin is the Roses of Essos company, it was founded by men who left the North During the time of Torrehen Stark, yes you will say your last name should be Stark, but they chose not to take it because of what it meant to bend the knee, a distant relative
Aegon: Got it, seriously, does that company exist?
Adrián: Or if it exists, it is quite small, only 100 heavy infantrymen, 50 heavy horses on each side and 20 light ones, about 20 archers and 10 crossbowmen, they are tough and hardened veterans, if you want one day we can go meet them
Aegon: I would love Adrian. He said smiling
Adrián: Don't be nervous, you have more Stark traits than Targaryens, just a little in the eyes at a certain moment where the light shines they will see a purple tint otherwise they are gray and have dark hair.
Aegon nodded in relief, it is very difficult to suppress Valyrian Genetics, Rhaeys seemed more Dornish than Valyria, Lewin could hide them because of the tan he gained at sea and the black hair dye.
So after a week we arrived at the Island, in the port Lord Stark was waiting for us with two of his sons and Lady Maege with her daughters, our ship docked in the port.
