Third Person POV.

"Jon, the children of the forest want to speak with you..." Ygritte entered the tent at that moment while Jon raised an eyebrow, still looking at the map of the North.

"Tell them I'm quite busy today, I plan to see them tomorrow." Jon said, wanting to do something else that day.

"Alright, I'll let them know." Ygritte said, leaving the tent, while Jon returned to the map for a while longer.

After analyzing the map, Jon went to the bed, sitting on it, asking not to be disturbed at that moment.

His eyes turned white. He quickly began to see all the animals he had sent south, wanting one in each region, wanting to see how the North was as a whole. Even though the birds had only reached the middle of the North, still needing to see the south to have a complete picture, it was enough for him.

It was already night by then, as he sat at the table and quickly had a quill with ink in his hand, beginning to write. Much of what he had spoken with his Stark cousins, he finally needed to communicate to the entire North—something he hadn't done until that moment.

He was finally going to act once and for all, but, of course, he would leave a striking message for what was about to happen.

Lucis ended up sitting beside him, looking on curiously, not quite understanding the words Jon was quickly writing.

"Do you intend to write that many letters?" Lucis asked, surprised by the stack of paper beside Jon as he was already on the fifth one.

"These letters will be sent to all of the North," Jon explained, still writing quickly. After all, there were dozens of houses, both the major and the minor, to receive the message.

He had to make it very clear why he was doing this. Even with all the power he possessed, he still needed to justify his actions before the nobles of the realms, revealing his true intentions.

This would help him not be seen as a second mad king, even though, in some ways, that was already happening. But he needed to do this, especially for his family and his children and their children.

Either way, whether they accepted his justifications or not mattered little in the end. But still, he would do it.

He continued writing throughout the entire night. Afterwards, he returned to his bed and slept with his women. When he awoke in the morning, he finished the last letters, letting out a sigh as he saw the final one. Gently, he filled the parchment with ink and began to write like all the others before:

[Dear lords of all the North,

I am here to announce my next action. After all, when you hear the news, you will clearly be shocked, but first...

This is the first time I truly speak to the entire North.

My name is Daemon Targaryen, trueborn son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna of House Stark by marriage, and the rightful heir to the Iron Throne and Lord of the Seven Kingdoms. I can prove my claim through a certificate and a journal written by the High Septon of the time, when my father and mother were wed, and this shall be proven before your eyes when the time comes.

In any case, you must already know that we crossed the Wall with 180,000 free folk after it was defeated for the first time in millennia. I am working here to establish a place for them in the Present.

I know of the resentment from everyone south of the Wall toward the North, yet I want to reconcile the two peoples, who follow the same gods.

Unfortunately, the Night's Watch had to try and stop us and suffered greatly because of it, but it is functioning again. After all, there is an enemy north of the Wall—but we shall speak of that when the time comes, and when both North and South are ready to face the war against the dead.

Unfortunately, I also faced some problems in the early days. Three hundred men under the free folk and my supervision betrayed me and left the main camp to act independently, massacring villages and committing rape.

By the time I learned of it, they had already left many victims. However, I went after each one of them, killed them all, and left no survivors among the 300.

I am not here to bring harm to the North. I am also responsible for the free folk, for we have an even greater enemy. And all will be punished according to the crimes they have committed—I assure you of that.

That is why I gave a great quantity of gold to the lord currently responsible for the Last Hearth, to protect the victims who survived the attacks.

In any case, everything is under control at the moment. And if anyone commits a crime, they will be punished.

Just as any attack against this camp will be retaliated.

I intend to make the free folk part of the North. They are not to blame for being born beyond the Wall. Most of them are not like those who used to cross over to raid—the majority here simply want to live in peace, where their children do not die and have something to eat.

In any case, I am beginning my campaign throughout the North. My goal is to exterminate all the ironborn, along with the Boltons, who committed a crime so vile that even I—who do not have a good relationship with the Starks—found it repugnant: to attack guests in one's home, after welcoming them, murdering them at a wedding. That deserves the complete extermination of their house and their name erased from history.

The Boltons... the last of them sent me a letter asking that we ally against Lord Stark and Stannis, who are in the southern North gathering men. But I do not intend to side with them. Quite the opposite—I intend to face Lord Stark and Stannis with the intent of destroying House Bolton as well. If our enemies grow because of this, so be it.

To all the houses of the North, I will give a very simple answer:

'I do not care if you wish to be our enemies. Rise and fight against me and my men. But remember this: House Targaryen is the house that ruled the North for nearly the last three hundred years, and it will continue to do so after reclaiming what was taken from us.'

Those who wish to ally with my family shall be friends. Those who wish to oppose our right to rule will be etched in blood upon our swords and with dragonfire. And I assure you, even if you kneel afterward, the only gift you will receive is the preservation of your house — unlike those we consider friends, who shall be rewarded when all this madness ends.

In any case, I also want to assure you of my position regarding the North. I do not intend to usurp House Stark, but I have plans for its future and conditions through marriage, if they wish to continue with Robb. Even so, it shall be governed by the blood of my mother. My only real issue is with Lord Stark and his wife. I do not intend to harm the other Starks, so long as they do not become my adversaries.

I am with Brandon and Rickon Stark, proving they were still alive and ended up at my camp. I welcomed them, and from this night forward, they are with me — but they are not my hostages.

I do not consider them as such. They are free to leave if they wish. If they desire my protection, they will remain here and be protected. I give you my word. But if they wish to leave, they may. If someone comes to fetch them, and they agree, I have nothing to do with it.

I will only demand your submission once we have conquered the entire North: the ironborn, the Boltons, and the southern army that claims the Iron Throne, which is currently with me.

Even so, Stannis believes he has a right to the throne his brother claimed through a rebellion no more than two decades ago.

If he truly wants the throne, he will have to face me. And I do not care how large his army is. I will be waiting on my path to the South.

In any case... well, it's time I show the forgotten power of House Targaryen. You've already heard the rumors in the South, but I will be doing it before your very eyes. I want all to witness the power of a dragon. And my target shall be House Bolton.

I intend to eradicate it once and for all. And I will begin first with their castle: the Dreadfort. I will be traveling by the end of this very day in which I write this letter, heading South.

By the time you see it, the castle will likely already lie in ruins. This is my answer to House Bolton for the crimes they have committed. I will show no mercy to any involved in the Red Wedding — whether it be House Bolton, House Frey, or the Lannisters. I intend to end every last one of them, whether by the steel of my sword or with dragonfire.

Jon finished his letter, giving some details of his plans and what he expected from the North. He wondered how everyone would react to it.

After the letters to the nobles were completed, Jon asked Lucis' brother, his squire officer, to go to the Wall along with some of the free folk. He would use the ravens there to send the letters to all the houses.

After the boy left, accepting his request, Jon turned back to a few final scrolls. From the corner of his eye, he saw Ygritte, Lucis, and Daenerys in the tent, eating, while the Stark boys and the Reed children were together with Hodor and the free folk woman who had accompanied them from the South.

But they could barely look at him. There was still fear in the children — and Jon couldn't blame them.

Either way, he began to write his final letters, ignoring Daenerys' request to join them. The next letters would not go to the ravens of the houses, but to specific people. After all, his birds had already reached half the North, and he could already see movement here and there — men gathering and devising various strategies to march south.

He wrote a rather instructive letter to Ramsay Snow, whom he already knew was torturing Theon. Even knowing that the Stark children were alive, Jon did not lessen his anger toward the Greyjoy. After all, he had betrayed Robb, used the time spent together to infiltrate Winterfell, and, in the end, destroyed the entire castle. He killed Maester Luwin, and only ruins were left of Winterfell, according to his cousins' reports — not to mention the murder of two children to pass them off as Starks...

The letter would be direct:

[First, let me ask you not to pity Theon. And second, know that you too will die — in a rather horrible way. I saw the tortures you're performing. And I warn you: I will tear down the Dreadfort first, the place you call your inheritance. But after that, I will hunt you throughout the North. I won't grant you a simple death. I will do worse.]

Jon wrote without restraint:

[I will take your soul, Ramsay Snow. You will be placed in torment that will last for eternity after your death. Your soul will be torn apart by dark creatures, things you could never imagine. Maybe you can even save yourself — by killing yourself before I arrive and hiding your body well. Since souls leave the body some time after death.]

If that letter was grim, the letter to Theon's sister, Yara Greyjoy, would be just as direct. He had found her near Winterfell, attempting to rescue her brother from the Boltons.

In the letter, Jon specified:

[I will kill every single ironborn. I will leave no one alive. I will cut their throats, no matter where they are. As I find them, I will wipe them out. Then, I will go to Pyke. I will devastate all the Iron Islands and practically eradicate your entire culture. If I leave anyone alive there, it won't make a difference.

And that will be the fate of the ironborn. You will never again raid the North or any part of the Seven Kingdoms. For the Seven Kingdoms have no need for savages at sea.
