New Beginnings

Over the next days, Alexander, now Jon Snow, grappled with his dual identity and newfound abilities. The direwolf Ghost sensed something different about his master but remained loyal, offering silent companionship.

Jon practiced his powers in secret, honing the ability to manipulate ice and metal subtly, aware that discovery could lead to fear and murmurings of sorcery. He created weapons sharper and stronger by altering their atomic structure and patched walls seamlessly within the vast keeps of Winterfell.

Jon's siblings—Robb, Sansa, Arya, Bran, and Rickon—noticed the change in him. He was more distant yet more decisive, bearing the weight of both his past and future lives. His interactions with Eddard Stark, however, were of utmost importance. Jon knew his father—his uncle, in truth—was key to shaping the future.

"Father, we must prepare for the coming winter," Jon urged one evening, tapping into the foresight from his previous life. "There are threats beyond the Wall that we must face together."

Ned, ever a stoic figure, listened with attentiveness rare for a man of his reputation. "Your instincts serve us well, Jon. I'll take your counsel seriously."

Jon also fostered a close relationship with Maester Luwin, imparting 'dreams' of dragonglass and its effectiveness against the White Walkers. His hints, veiled as prophetic dreams, led to cautious preparation without outright revealing his secrets.
