Game of Thrones: Lord of Winter

"Brothers, be quiet, please be quiet!" Bowen Marsh shouted to the Night's Watch in the hall.

The chief steward's words had an effect, and the noise gradually died down.

When the only sounds in the hall were breathing and the flapping of crows' wings on the roof, he announced, "Our beloved Lord Commander Mormont suffered a shameful betrayal north of the Wall and died. His bravery and justice are worth remembering by every Night's Watch until he enters the grave.

According to the law, after the death of the Lord Commander, we have to elect a new commander. In order to ensure the fairness of this election, His Highness Cole Julius, Prince of Storm's End and Marquis of Midsummer Hall, Governor of Stormlands, and Warden of Stormlands, will be the witness of this election.

Every brother of the Night's Watch can propose an election People, but each person has only one vote, and the electors do not need to vote.

Do you have any objections? "

"Very good." Seeing that no one had any objections, he continued, "So, let's start nominating now."

"Lord Janos Slynt was the commander-in-chief of the King's Landing City Guard. His courage and wisdom are unquestionable, and he knows how to manage a castle or a wall much better than we do. Under his protection, King's Landing defeated Stannis, which shows that he has a lot of strategy and experience, so I nominate him to be the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch." Alliser Thorne was the first to stand up.

"I propose Eddie Tollett, who is the squire of the old bear."

"I withdraw and request to withdraw my name from the election. If you want to choose me, you have at least a dozen opportunities before, but it is obvious that you think I am not good enough. My friend told me before that I have to support Janos."

Sir Thorn nodded, "Lord Janos is the best choice."

"Let me finish my words, Alliser." Yarwyck complained, "We all know that Lord Slynt once commanded the capital guard of King's Landing and was the lord of Harrenhal..."

"He has never seen Harrenhal." Cotter Pyke's shout interrupted him again.

Osel Yarwyck flashed impatience, "Yes, he has never seen it. Even so, he is undoubtedly a good choice, but I think Eddie is also good as the squire of the old bear, isn't he?"

"So who are you going to choose?" Janos Slynt's face sank.

"Why not choose Snow?" The chief craftsman suddenly smiled, "He is Benjen Stark's nephew and the servant of Old Bear. We all know that Old Bear intends to train him as his successor."

"You are crazy! How can you choose that chameleon when he is charged with betraying the Night's Watch and murdering Quolin the Halfhand?" Slynt suddenly shouted, "In my opinion, he should be tried immediately. It happens that all the brothers of the Night's Watch are here."

"Shut up, maybe you can arbitrarily accuse a gold cloak of being a criminal, but remember that you are wearing black now." Carter Pyke, the captain of the Eastwatch garrison, stood up suddenly.

"Brothers can nominate anyone as long as the other party has sworn to wear black," Ser Denys Mallister announced.

"Yes, I also nominate Jon Snow, he is more suitable than me." Eddie Tollett said.

The hall suddenly became noisy, and the Night's Watch expressed their opinions.

"Quiet!" Bowen Marsh's words rang out again. "Noisy will only delay us here for more time, and then those wildlings outside the Great Wall will take the opportunity to climb over the wall and harm the place we are supposed to protect."

The voices in the hall calmed down again.

"Who else wants to nominate?" asked the chief steward.

Except for Janos Slynt and Jon Snow, no one else's name was put forward.

Jon looked at Cole, who was sitting in the main seat, and he said nothing from beginning to end.

"Then let's start voting, bring up the can." The stewards moved an iron can to the fireplace, opened the load-bearing lid, and the brothers of the Night's Watch lined up to put the wooden strips and stones representing the number of votes into it.

The wooden strips represent Janos Slynt, and the stones represent Jon Snow.

When Cole began to count the votes, the can was full of stones, and there was only a small amount of wood, which meant that Jon would be the 998th commander-in-chief.

Jon listened to Cole calling out his name, and he was already surrounded by brothers of the Night's Watch.

"Korgel is older than me, and Mormont is stronger than me, but you are almost just a child, Jon Snow. But I don't think you are worse than them. Your uncle Benjen is a man, your father is also, and I hope you are too. Don't let me down." Denys Mallister said to him.

"If you make a mess, I will dig out your liver and eat it raw with onions." Cotter Pyke grinned.

The crows cackle on the eaves.

"Jon! Jon! Jon!" They imitated the words of the brothers of the Night's Watch.

The big raven has always been a part of the Night's Watch. Obviously, they also recognize the newly elected Night's Watch, but there is no big raven flying directly to Jon's shoulder. The Night's Watch in Castle Black are familiar with it. It is the crow of Old Bear.

Cole looked at the crow with interest. When the alien spirit is inhabited by an animal, if the body is killed, then part of the soul will remain in the body of the animal. He wondered if there was the soul of Old Bear in this crow.

The blood of the ancestors of the North seemed to have the talent of shapeshifters. Only one person in a thousand was born a shapeshifter, and only one person in a thousand shapeshifters would be a greenseer.

Bran seems to be a green prophet, while Robb and Jon are likely to be wolf spirits. Cole even guessed that every child of the Stark family has this extraordinary talent. After all, mortals can't control the wildness of dire wolves.

Cole touched his silver hair. A white dire wolf, this is really a coincidence.

He was wondering if he was an alien. After all, he could also entrust his soul to Caesar. How should he say this? Dragon spirit?

This talent seems to be possessed by more than just Cole himself. Many members of the Targaryen family have had "dragon dreams". They dreamed that they turned into dragons. Cole remembered Caesar who appeared in his dream. He turned into him and broke out of the dragon egg.

Maester Aemon's brother. Aerion the Bright Flame dreamed that he turned into a dragon and died by drinking wildfire. Of course, he was also a complete scumbag, and he died.

Maybe if those Targaryens who had dragon dreams found the dragon egg that belonged to them, they would probably be able to wake up the dragon from the egg. Of course, this is Cole's own guess.

The Targaryen family seems to have another talent, called "Dream Walker."

The Dragon family escaped the Doomsday of Valyria with the help of the prophetic dream of "Dream Walker" Daenys Targaryen.

Unfortunately, there never seemed to be any prophecy in Cole's dream.
