 The stranger was sitting in his room when he returned from the blacksmiths. Ned looked him up and down, not knowing how the stranger got in, or what the clothing he was wearing represented. He was wearing a white shirt of some kind that covered his torso, a hood attached to the edge of it. Ned reached for Ice, but the stranger stayed sitting on the chair before the fire. 
 
 `` Nothing like a warm fire to beat out the cold of Winterfell, is n't that right Lord Stark?'' The stranger spoke strangely, `` I am not your enemy, nor am I here to injure you in any way. I will speak my peace and go, I swear on the Old Gods and the new.'' Ned looked him over once more before taking a seat. 
 
 `` Who are you and how did you get in here?'' The stranger laughed, a deep laugh from his belly. 
 
 `` My name is not important, as for how I got here, there are many secret passages in the Red Keep that one could use for access if necessary. One would do well to remember that.'' Ned looked around, trying to find some evidence of the stranger's advice, but nothing seemed amiss in the room. `` What is important, however, is this warning. You have enemies everywhere Lord Stark, some wearing smiles, some wearing their disdain openly. But that is a tale for another time, I have come to warn you. The path you're going down is more dangerous than you realize.'' The stranger had to be going somewhere with this but where Ned was not sure. 
 
 `` And what do you know of my road?'' 
 
 `` It's the same path Jon Arryn went down, and look where he wound up. He was right of course, that's why they needed to kill him'' Ned stared, how could the stranger know of the former Hand's excursions, but what was Jon right about? `` The king will give you a command when he returns from your hunt, follow his commands, but in secret. His son will also give you a command, follow that command to the letter. No matter how much it will sting your honor, it will save you and yours lots of trouble, and possibly even prevent a war from breaking out in the North.'' 
 
 `` You talk of War and orders like you know better than Lord Varys what is going on in Westeros, who are you?'' 
 
 `` I'm the one who can peak into the back of the book to know what is going on, and I do not want to watch events unfold the way they are listed. Remember Lord Stark, follow the King's orders in secret, and his son's in public.'' The stranger stood and walked over to a book case. `` Oh, and tell your daughters that their brother has awoken, and their Mother would like them to return home for a few weeks to see him, it will save you some hassle in the long run.'' He tugged a book and the shelf opened. 
 
 `` I have to ask, why are you telling me this?'' The stranger paused, before throwing a leatherbound tome at his feet. 
 
 `` You're my favorite character in the book, I ca n't let it end the way it did.'' Ned picked up the book, Game of Thrones...
