Winterfell, The North

The common ring of steel sang through the training yard of the great northern keep as it did many times when the two oldest sons of the Warden of the North sparred. The two circled each other in a dance, each carefully placing their next footing and timing their strikes carefully. For years they had practiced together, and for years they had learned each others strengths and weaknesses. Jon moved in for an overhead slash, with Robb stepping to the side and raising his sword to shield it off.

"Good" Sir Rodrik Cassel, the houses master at arms said overseeing their work "You two may finally be ready to join your father on the battlefield" the old man laughed while smacking a thigh.

"There hasn't been a battle in years Sir Rodrik" Robb said moving in with a thrust, which Jon parried while stepping back

"Well maybe not the like the stories you lads were told as children, but there is fighting that needs doing to keep the North safe" Rodrik said moving over to the weapons rack

"The only real action is at the Wall, and its the best place to go if one wants to keep the North safe" Jon said feinting a slash and coming in with a thrust as Robb rolled to the side and caught Jon in the back of the knee with a pommel.

"Your still going on about the Wall" Rodrik said looking at two sparing knives "Here, you want a challenge" He tossed a knife to each boy.

"What are we to do with these" Robb asked

"There are stories about men across the narrow sea that wield two blades into battle, each acting as if they were controlled by their own man" Rodrik crossed his arms "You boys want a challenge? Lets start small and see how you do"

Across the training yard the ward Theon Greyjoy gave archery lessons to Eddard Starks three youngest children; Arya, Bran, and Rickon. Arya was to be training to be a lady as her mother insisted, yet Arya never was one for the arts of being a lady. A compromise was met, her father decided that her mornings would be spent training with the boys and her evenings spent with her elder sister Sansa training as a lady. Arya quickly agreed.

"Now remember, don't pull with your arm" he tapped Rickons elbow "Raise the elbow and let your back do the work"

The three released arrows, Arya and Brans hitting their targets, with Rickons grazing and flying over the top of his. Rickon lowered his bow with a sigh.

"It is alright little lord" Theon said rubbing Rickons head "You will get there with practice"

Ned and Caitlyn Stark walked into the training yard, Caitlyn smiled at her children, Ned looked up again from the ravens message "Children, come here"

The children put away their training weapons and moved to their father , each one with a mixed look of worry and intrigue.

"I received a letter from Kings Landing' Ned kept his solemn and stoic face "Jon Arryn is dead"

"Father I a sorry" Robb said "We all know how much he meant to you"

"I also received further news" Ned said clearing his throat "THe King rides for Winterfell"
