The turn towards him "yes and I have a feeling about you too" said the Giant as he then look to his surroundings "Let me guess I'm in Winterfell and you two are Starks descendants of my sons depending of how long I've been gone" he said

The Starks nod their head in confirmation Santa step forward "Yes great ancestor and you've been gone for 8000 years " said Santa

There was a silence as the atmosphere grows dropped

"It appears I will have to know recent events" he said as he took his helmet off showing his raven black hair and stormy blue eyes and could swear there is sparkling on it and could mistakenly to be Robert on his prime

Sansa noted of his blue eyes compared to hers and could tell that her eyes closely resemble to him more than to her Tully Mother

"Children tell me everything I need to know and I will help you from whatever troubles to my descendants" said Ronan "oh where are my manners I'm Ronan Belleza Celestant Prime of the Stormcast Eternals champion of Order" he said with a bow

The two siblings could tell especially Jon now knows that they have better chance now to survive now that their ancestor and god have returned something that Westeros never seen

Present

Few months later

Not soon after Ronan have arrive he was suddenly shrunk down to 8 ft tall before he become a stormcast even then he is still stronger than average human and still have some blessing of the gods when he was still in the world in Mallus before the End times which some brought disappointment to Jon and Sansa because they are the only who at least confirm that he is their Ancestor and welcome him as such

After that on the Next Day they arrange a meeting with him with the other lords and before that have talk to him about the recent event that which both of them look scared when he stared at them more like pass them with dark looks that which remind them of their father when he looks coldly except even immense icier that their father could never able to compete

When he finally met with them some look at him with skiptism but those who are very observant they could tell something in him that is not a mortal

Ronan of course easily prove them of his origins as well as showing some magic to them and most of all how the thunder roared when he heard about the deaths of the Children of the forest after he read them and both Sansa and Jon curse the idiot who speak that

Flash back

"Say that again one more time?" Said Ronan in a slow and dark tone that which sent shivers to their spine

"T-- that the Children of the forest were massacred| by the Andals" said one of the northern lord

"And i'm aware of that, i've read it just recently" Said Ronan with a snort "Honestly i don't understand why my descendants din't try to help and shelter them, me and My son made a pact with them in exchange they will help the north through magical means and co-operation between our two faction and considering i ask this to your king and princess they have no answer even the history book have no answer" he said

Ronan approach the Vale lords specifically Lord Royce who gulp despite being a strong and veteran commander could not help but feel small at his presence "And if i was there in those times, The Andals would be push back to Essos regardless of whatever your gods would say" Said Ronan as he stood straight

"Now onto other matters of consolidation" Said Ronan as he put his hand to his back before looking at the starks "Why din't your ancestor hunt down and finally kill the Night king?" he said

the Room then suddenly silent at that question as Ronan eyed both Starks until he could tell that Jon Snow's eyes widen "You saw him din't you Jon snow?" he said

With it the Lords and Ladies of the North and Vale stared at Jon Snow also wide eyed

"Yes great Ancestor i've seen him with my own eyes" Said Jon Snow

"Where did you last saw him? and how many Zombies he has in his army?" Said Ronan

"Hardhome, and 100,000 thousands possibly more" Said Jon

hearing that made many of them gasp that the Night King is real the long night is real, though northerners recovered faster because of legends and stories told by generation after generation

Ronan narrowed his eyes at them "I'll not going to ask about some stupidity of your ancestors of why they din't hunt the Night King when i left some weapons to fight them" Said Ronan

"You left some weapons?" Said Jon snow in a hopeful tone

"Yes,  i left Obsidians or Dragon glass as you called it" Said Ronan

"How many then my lord?" Said Jon

"Enough to equip 50 thousands, swords, spears, daggers, arrows you name it" Said Ronan

"And where would it be then Great Ancestor?" Said Sansa feeling dread in her stomach when she heard that the Night king is real along with the army of the dead until now that she still some skiptism and with their Founder's father now here, it would be good to at least listen to him

"On the Vault that which hidden than your official vault, there's only also treassure there, since you are surprise that there is a obsidian that i mention it would mean that you and some times have forgotten said Vault that i built here" Said Ronan

"So we have a chance then?" Said Dacey Mormont the current Lady of bear island and survivor of the red wedding

"It is, i believe every Castle well more like ancient houses that dates back 8,000 years does have stockpile or have you forgotten your stockpile Lords and Ladies of the north? unlike of the Starks i made the Vault that only the Starks would know the rest of you know to find for yourselves" Said Ronan

Every Northern lord whose house dates back before the Age of heroes have the look of embarrassment

"I still recommend to mind Obsidian just in case that we may need it more, better to be safe than sorry" Said Ronan

With it everyone nod

"Alright some of you start stockpiling the Obsidian weapons, and i will help consolidating our pwer of the North where you can maintain your independence" Said Ronan

Flashback end

Then Ronan not long after about the issue of their forces though the Starks and their Bannermen are quite shock when they discover the hidden Vault, just Below the Level of the cryps of where Brandon the Builder was buried

The Hidden Vault itself is massive much more than the Starks could imagine it contain such vast amount of Gold that even Littlefinger able to calculate it that such wealth could answered the Kingdom's dept to the Iron Bank 10 times over that which made shock everyone even more

Ronan told them that this was only state of Emergency when the North needed the money to buy anything they need such the need arises and to think that it has been thousands of years since it's gold had been touche

Already Sansa had made a meeting with the other Lords for supplies and resources that they will buy

Jon and others are for Military equipment and siege Engine that they may buy in Essos

Then he ask them about their forces

"Vale could field 50,000 my lord since we are Unchathe in the war as we din't join thanks to our regent" Said Royce with a bit of venom in his tone he have discuss this to Ronan about their problem and Ronan believe him for that and knows that Royce can be formidable lord

"Us the North could field only as small as 15,000 my lord" Said Jon despite being the King of the North, he and Sansa quickly notice that Ronan literally taken over the ruling despite he is not showing it, still he Advice Jon of options and his opinions on the matter that which the two found to be highly valuable

Not only that he takes the Administrative work both Civil and Military just even for a single day, Ronan showed them of how it's done and would find results in the coming days instead of weeks

"And you the Free Folks?" Said Ronan little bit of narrowed eyes at Turmond whom gulp in fear

The Free Folk quickly find themselves to be at odds of their god that they worship besides the Old gods, Ronan hated them because of their ways and culture maybe except the Thenns whom Ronan found at least some grudging respect but still have suspecious because the Free Folk choose to stay beyond the wall and become raiders despite's Ronan's numerous attempts to make them go south to the wall and live with their kinsmen but no they still choose to stay

the Except of this are the Giants since they still have their morality and they all respected Ronan in reverence

"We are only 15,000 warriors m-- my Lord" Said Turmond with his head on the ground, he still have to earn the latter's respect because of his ways as a raider

"Still not Enough, we have enemies both of the North and South not to mention West and east because the lack of navy of the former and few at the latter, Manderlys do you think your fleet would be at least enough to scare away a determined fleet?" Said Ronan as he look at Lord Manderly

Wyman Manderly stood from his table "A Determined fleet my lord would crush my fleet, they can only do only halt the inivitable landing, but i can assure you, my people will fight to the death just to prevent them to further make docking site of the Enemies fleet" Said Lord Manderly as he bow his head and sat

Ronan nod at that "Then it leaves Western coast where Stony Shore lies, which is very fertile land, if you want the North to be Independent and self-sustaining, then take back New Gift and put coastal defense in the west, it would encourage more small folks to migrate there not only because it's a fertile land but also warmer climate compared the rest of the North" Said Ronan

"We'll see to it" Said Jon as he nod to Sansa making plans of who would rule Stoney Shore since it's house went extinct and needed a new family to take it's place

"And i advice to you my Lords that make a shared burden when it comes to defense there since it's quite large land and no single house would be able to do that" Said Ronan

"Aye" Said the Northern lords as those who are near to Stoney Shore begun to make plans and have talk to each other of how to properly manned Stoney shore where it would be deem enough to be safe to migrate by the small folks

"Then we should still going to increase numbers via Sellsword company" Said Ronan

"Aren't you serious about it?" Said Small Umbar

"I'am, i already read the list who are reliable and those who would not broke their contract, I would like to employ the Golden Company to our side, doing that, might make the Southern kingdoms from thinking attacking North due to their reputation" Said Ronan

"Not to mention you would use them against the Army of the Dead" Said Sansa in realization

"Indeed, just the right words and money can easily buy their swords" Said Ronan with a small smirk "Though how many are they now? last time i check they have 10,000"

"You are quite Right for that my lord" Said Ser Davos hand of the King "Recently they're numbers increase to 20,000, 2,000 Cavalry and 50 Elephants" he said

"Elephants have no chance against the Dead, but they can still be useful for beast of burden" said Jon snow

"And how good are they? apart from words, i want to know first hand witness" Said Ronan

Manderly again stood "I've travel to essos before my lord for trade agreement, i've seen them fought both equally disipline force and savages without ever betraying their contractor, Unsullied may outdisipline them but they are large and flexible organize force where they can counter any enemy that they will face" said Wyman

Ronan nod at that "Shame i would have like to hire the Unsullied, they be useful for chokepoints against the dead but we will do what we have" Said Ronan some could only shook their heads for that but to grudgingly have to swallow their pride for now as they appeared to have that massive wealth

"Is there any objection? no? good" Said Ronan as he dismiss them, knowing some would be reluctant to agree for such propossals he also know that the Crown was broke though he would still not doubt that they may find a way to hire the Golden Company 

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Flash back end

A week after that Ronan and Ser Davos have gone to essos to broker a contract with the Golden Company's Commander Hentry Strickland Ronan brought an expensive diamond, rubies and gold that he personally turned into gold thanks to the magic of metal with only few who knows it with Jon, Sansa, Brianne and Ser Davos are the only ones who knows his magic and believe that they may never going to be broke as long as Ronan stayed there

Ronan let Ser Davos do the talking first and was quite impressed for his diplomatic skills outside in westeros and approving of Jon's decision not only that the Onion was an honest and loyal man that which Ronan could respect

With that the Golden Company have accompanied them to Winterfell, Ronan spoke about that the Golden Company will have a 5 year contract to House Stark to face any enemy of said Family and he is already

All 20,000 Infantry, 2,000 Cavalry and 50 Elephants arrive in the North and have made commotion in the North due to their arrival, though at least welcome due many of them are exiled westorisies though some have grudge from the Old people who are veterans of the war of the Ninepenny kings

The military minded lords could only look at them with approving look because their reputation indeed precede them due to their discipline and organization but still wary of their motives as much as they wanted to trust because of their reputation of never breaking a contract they are at least have to be on guard on them

Herry Strickland met with Jon Snow and Sansa at their court

"It would be an honor to fight alongside with you your grace" Said Harry Strickland

Jon nod "You and your company here are welcome here in the North, until your contracts ended help yourselves in this dire times of my kingdom" Said Jon

"I would look forward to it" Said Strickland "And Lord Belleza is quite strategies himself short stay on essos already made a small name for himself and even advice of how to re-conquicor one of the Cities that the Dragon queen have taken" Said Strickland

"He did?" Said Sansa with a raise eyebrow at the same time looking for political backlash should Denaerys aim towards them because of Ronan's 'Advice'

They looked at Ronan who have the gall to look innocent "Don't look at me like that, besides she already here on Westeros and making plans of her conquest, it might either Divide her attention and sent her forces there to quill the already besiege city or focus here entirely and lost her remaining seat of power should whoever in charge there failed to defend it, and it would be matter of time before she would have lost it" Said Ronan

"And was it really necessary my Lord?" Said Littlefinger, with a hidden smirk in amusement

"What can i say? she's more of a conqueror who failed to consolidate her powers in Essos

her main strength lies in her 3 dragons, without it then she is nothing, even with advisors such as Lord Tyrion lannister i heard to be her hand of the queen" Said Ronan

Jon could only frown at that, he is friend with Tyrion and it appears he is now hand of the queen to Denaerys Targeryan

"And that is of course without the need of our intervention, Slaver's bay good masters would have hired us though again your envoys arrive first and i already sign the contract, the good masters are insistant, but Lord Belleza after some giving layouts of the city he quickly made a plan for them of how to re-conquer it and when we are at the docks the city was re-conquered" Said Strickland

"Even though i despise slavery, i may have done it in case Queen Denaerys focus us in the north, from what i heard about here, it would be matter of time before she demand you to bend the knee that which your lords won't be happy and would gladly rebelled against her even with 3 dragons" Ronan explained his reason, Ronan hated Slavery with a burning passion, the reason why is for military matters in case Denaerys indeed become a threat to the North then she will have divided attention unless she focus solely on westeros then the good masters at slavers bay would bide their time before they would have their revenge against the Targeryan

:Because of my small advice we are given some reward after that for compensation of advising them of how to make siege easier for them, we got the siege equipment mostly Trebuchets and scorpions especially escorpions we really need them against the Dragons" Said Ronan

With the good masters generosity Ronan have to pay little for the siege equipment that they would put on to Winterfell

With it they discuss of what the Golden Company would do at the mean time, Ronan then suggest to have them help digging trench and build stakes with dragonclass attach on them

Winterfell will have 3 layers of Trench that surround it that would prevent enemy forces from ever advacing towards the castle and have an exit should they would have to retreat

Ronan ordered them to made a trap raw of obsidian spikes to further at least to slow the momentom of the dead,

The trenches themselves are of 250 meters apart to have the cavalry a free reign to move in case the Dead was able to breach the walls

They have done this in a week time after Ronan return and brought supplies and materials that they would need against the army of the dead and the south of the neck

Flashback end

Few months later since Ronan's first arrival, Ser Davos saw Ronan's raw ability as a charismatic leader, administrative work, statement and a military commander he relinqush his badge of office to Ronan as the hand of the King after he talks about this with Jon and Sansa whom the two quickly agreed not long after Ronan's 1st day of arrival in westeros and Davos was put into Master of Laws while Wyman Manderly taking the role of master of Ships and Littlefinger at the moment retain his position of master of coin though he was looked closely by Ronan that which unnerve him since only his spies are the only ones able to diliver information but even then he could not help but feel worried at Ronan's presence not to mention his divinity that the northern lords and wildlings appeared to revered him

in those months the North begun to have such quick consilidation with no one knows about it thanks to Ronan who have to silent the spies from the south

The North is far more secured than ever before, Ronan have come to the neck with the Cranogman quickly kneel before him and look into their defenses that which was in satisfactory and stay there for several hours before leaving Lord Reed to it's defenses along with added suggestion should they would need to face Dragon or the Dead in case they fail to protect the north and needed to cross the neck and shows his magical abilities both beast and life that he can command the neck at his whim if he wanted to even though that this was doing by Lord Kroak himself

Due to the lack of spies Ronan have free reign of securing the North politically, militarily and economically

There was a few occasion of Ironborn attacks from Euron only to be Thwarted by the northern lord while the Golden Company din't do much as they are still hidden secret for now

The Golden Company help trained the levies combat with the assistance of other veterans that which had made them effective fighting force and Ronan come time to time to oversee such development

The south knows that there is a new hand of the king other than they do not much know of him because of him being mysterious and spies are being prevented from entering the north

Ronan was behind all the power of the North something that Jon and Sansa aware of and din't find it to be threat since he is their many times great grandfather and doing better job that they would imagine as the north is secured just his a week of his arrival as they stockpile weapons and armor for the coming war either against the Dead or the from the south or west and east

There was also the matter of marriege for Jon snow to be his queen some lords quickly suggest their daughters to them, Ronan have to decline them and find allies in the south despite some protest they could not help from the logical stand point and that's only last month

Flash back

Great hall

"So who would we ally ourselves into then my lord? we do not know which house that is powerful enough to make the Lannisters and Targeryans stop on their tracks? not to mention that are willing?" Said Lord Manderly

"We know the Tyrells are the only ones who are close enough to the crownland and it would be enough to deter the Lannisters and could open new front" Said Lord Glover "They have a daughter Queen Margery, though her whereabouts are unknown after that bitch blow up the sept of Baelor"

With it Littlefinger stood "According to my spies, Lady Margery still lives and was now on High Garden along with her family who are successfully escape" Said Littlefinger

Ronan subtle raise his eyebrow at that, knowing Littlefinger's motive there is always a hidden plan  that he could gain "Margery Tyrell? what do we know about her?" Said Ronan

"Grandfather if i may?" Said Sansa as Ronan nod to her

"Go on then" Said Ronan as he could tell that Sansa have met and talk with this woman

"Margery is the kind of lady that you would like as a queen, she is caring and empathetic to the peoplem shred but have a kind heart, she is able politician that can aid Jon when it comes to politics and not to mention reach has the largest army of 150,000 and the most fertile land" Said Sansa

Ronan was thoughful for that, reach would be the best choice due to it's fertile land and might as well give a generation or 2 perhaps to make sure that the north may able to be self-suffient as Ronan have to halt the flow of glass for glass gardens at the moment because of the threat of the dead

Normally he would have be confident at the wall since he help build it, but his instints are stopping him from purchase more glass for glass garden in case should the dead indeed breach the wall, then it will be all for naught, he mostly focus on the current matters

He looks Jon snow who frowns likely doesn't want to have political marriege

"I Think you should try for that prospect Jon snow, this is a wife that can balance your blunt and honesty" Said Ronan

"Aye, and she is a pretty rose" Said one of the vale lords that brought chuckles from other man while some of the ladies rolled their eyes

:Not only that Reach was 2nd least unschathe in the war of the 5 kings, they can still be powerful ally along with the wealth of the Tyrells" Said Ser Davos

"What do think of then?" Said Ronan as he look at Jon Snow

"Would they even accept a bastard king?" Said Jon snow

"That would remain to be seen, Making Margery as Queen is one thing, but we also have to give them some better agreement whee both parties are benefit" Said Sansa

"Military might may not be enough due to distance wise, but a trade one, we can deal with it if the war ends either Cersie or Denarys kill each other" Said Ronan

"Then who will rule the 7 kingdoms? we all know that this 2 have no children" Said Lord Glover

"Then it's the south's problem to deal with, besides they can always return back to 7 kingdoms with 7 monarchs" Said Ronan

After that they have more discussion on the matters of marriage

Ronan looked at Jon snow "I always though of you other than a Stark you have the coloring but built is not one of them" Though of Ronan

shortly after he arrives at the Neck he talk with Lord Reed since he is the only survivor left that journey to Starfall, he talk that Jon is not Ned Stark's son despite not even meeting him Ronan felt that Jon's is not his son but of his sister

After Reed confessed the Truth Ronan nearly rage that made Reed scared of him

Lyanna Stark went willingly to Rheagar Targeryan that resulted the death of thousands because of their stupidity and carelessness to the lives of the innocent

Ronan wanted to torture them in the afterlife after of course he have a talk with the other gods

For now he is planning to tell them the truth privately since the Targeryan name still held power but he believes Denaerys would never be able to gain powerful allies because she let the Dothraki cross the narrow sea and arrive at Westeros something that the 7 kingdoms would not tolerate

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Flash back end

After that discussion they have sent a message to discuss betrothal between Jon and Margery after Jon reluctant to agree with them council by Sansa, Davos and Ronan about the benifits of marrying Margery they needed that food for the coming winter and most of all just a way to give them enough time to finish building glass garden to all northern nobles castles and put some to others to public and further add more supplies

Thanks to Ronan's leadership the north was more united than ever as Ronan focus on infrastructure and have every northerners to contribute that which added morale to the entire north as are helping as one people and one nation as Ronan would expected

 So far the Kingdom of Reach, Stormland appeared to be neutral and already searching for plans how to make an alliance with them

only Dorne and Ironborn fleet command by Asha Greyjoy are the only ones that pledge to Denaerys which is surprisingly especially to the Tyrell who are loyal to the Targeryan for the past 300 years and still waiting for their response

the next few days when they sent a raven to reach, they have recieve a reply

The Tyrells agreed for the prospect of the proposal and already moving towards the north with the redwyne fleet as their escort but not finalization as of yet, Ronan along with others suspecious that would be the work of Olenna Tyrell the true power behind reach since her son the warden of the reach is an idiot and oaf of a man

While they are waiting for them since they would be arriving today another missive have sent to them

"It's from the Dragon queen" Said Jon snow after reading the missive "She wants me to come to Dragonstone and bend the knee" he said to his lords

hearing that they protested only to be silent by Ronan's mere presence without even gazing at them

"And do you wish to go there? it might be an obvios trap" said Ronan

"No Grandfather, the writing belongs to Tyrion Lannister and i believe him that there won't be trap" Said Jon

"So what do you plan then?" Said Ronan

"We know that there is dragonglass in Dragonstone and i wish to go there, if possible for an aliance and allowed to mine it" said Jon "Though i admit i was more hoping if she would allow us to mine"

Ronan nod at that "And what is your plan then? the Tyrells would arrive in an hour by now, you can go to dragon stone after you have conversation with the Tyrell, sending a raven would arrive there for several days, it would be enough time for you to know about your soon to be bride if they agreed with it" Said Ronan

Jon nod in understanding as he then looked to Sansa "Send a raven to Dragonstone we would go there" Said Jon that which made more protess but Ronan have to tap his hand at the table that silent them 

"Do not need to worry i volunteer to go, i have lost counted of killing dragons both small and titanic you won't have to worry about his safety" Said Ronan

"If it please you, i also go with the king" Said Davos

"And i will leave Sansa as the regent until we return" said Jon

Sansa was shock to hear that but nod notheless as they are waiting for the Tyrells to arrive
