Tower of Knowledge, Wintercity.
"So, how's the teaching going on Marwyn? You are the Director of the Order of Maesters. Tell me."
"Things have been going amazingly, Boss. 2000 more doctors are about to graduate from the Medical branch. 1500 of them have also opted for higher studies of surgery. Nearly 1000 basic study schools have been opened in the north. Though we are still facing the problem of teaching people from isolated locations. We cannot open a school for a village of just 100 people. Many people are graduating every 6 months after learning a profession.
Classes for various young Lords and Heirs are also going smoothly. Lord Willas Tyrell is also nearing his graduation. I am happy to announce that he's a firm believer in democracy now. He's already started writing a book on its benefits." He briefed.
"What about the training for Project 'WORM'?" Alexander asked.
"Haha... 200 Pilots, 500 mechanics and more than 1500 managing staff will graduate in a month. They are all currently in ongoing training in the Dome of Requirement." He happily replied.
Dome of Requirement was like the room of requirement but thousands of times bigger and better. You could create anything while staying inside. There was also an automatic system as well to simulate various things. The Dome was set up under the Tower of Knowledge and it had a height of 50 meters and was as big as 6 soccer fields.
"Good, I will start the project soon. Alright, I'll be leaving now."
Alexander then left for Moat Cailin. He used the bike to travel as it was fast. Though most of the time he just used apparition and illusion to move even faster.
Moat Cailin had changed a lot now. It was flourishing, the streets were clean and beautiful. The big towers of Moat Cailin increase the beauty of the city. The big arched bridge too. The canal was busy 24 hours a day. Ned made so much money from the toll taken from ships that he used the rest of the money earned from the city to make hospitals and schools.
He slowly walked the streets of the city towards the castle while checking things out. The bike was stored in his space pocket. While walking, he suddenly heard some kids calling his name. He turned around and saw that they were playing some weird game.
He looked at them for a while and understood the game. The game's name was 'Lord Stark Lord Stark'. In the game, one boy acts like him and other kids bring problems to him to solve. The kid who was playing his role had used chalk on his hair and face for realism.
"Lord Stark Lord Stark, please help." One little kid said.
"Tell me the problem and I'll make it go away." The Kid lord stark said.
"I want candy," the little boy said.
This was a big problem for little Lord Stark. How was he going to bring candies, "aaaaa... Next"
"Hahahaha.." Alexander started laughing loudly.
"Come here all of you, take your candies." He took out a big bag of sweet and sour lollipops. The kids recognized him and flocked to him.
"Haha... Easy, there's enough for all of you," he said and patted their heads.
Then suddenly a voice came from behind, "I see, this is where you were Uncle."
Ned walked towards him.
"Run, the wolf is here" The kids yelled and ran away to their homes.
"Haha.. what did you do to them, Ned?"
"I-I scolded them a little last week. They were playing that weird game," Ned said.
"Haha... If you think that's sweet then check this out" he turned on the music.
They traveled the road feeling the cool clear wind and listening to music.
...
They reached Winterfell in a few hours.
"Mya, come with me. I'll take you to your big sis Anna. She will help you get settled here." Alexander said.
He took Mya and her little siblings to Anna. She was chilling with Jon in Stark's Living room. Watching a movie on T.V.
Normally, no one except the contract bearer could see the wonders of that room but he allowed Mya to see them. She meekly followed behind him.
"Anna, I want you to meet Mya, Bella, and Gendry. They are Robert's kids," he said.
Anna(Lyanna) had started to dislike Robert after Mya was born. But she didn't have anything against the cute little girl in front of her. She could only imagine how many hardships she must have gone through because of her good for nothing father.
"Aww... So cute." She said and gave a motherly hug to Mya.
"I will show you your room okay. I think you will like Rina, she's your age. Your only job here will be to live happily, have fun, and learn whatever you can about whatever you like. Come. Your little brother and sister will be looked after by the nannies, they are very good at it." She said.
Mya was hesitant to give her siblings to someone else, but when she looked at the nannies (Robo nanny) taking care of various children in the room she relaxed a little. Besides, she couldn't always be near them if she were to live here.
When they left, Elina came in. "Now Winterfell looks more like a big orphanage than a Lord's castle. There are so many children living here."
"Haha... The Earth on which we stand, which gives is food and water is also like an orphanage and we take shelter on it. She takes care of us like a good mother and sometimes punishes when we make mistakes." Alexander said.
"Yes... Like Valyria. They got too arrogant and..." She was interrupted.
"Oh, that was me. I was angry at Valyria," Alexander nonchalantly said. Leaving her gobsmacked.
"What, but why?" She asked.
"Just as you said, they had become too arrogant. They killed people like insects and they also ignored my warnings" he said and walked away.
Elina suddenly remembered that the kind old man in that they love so much is a god. A very powerful god. His easygoing behavior makes people forget about his big background. But in the end, he was still like a father figure to her.
