If so, the White Walkers might retreat when Jon dies?Īlso: did Ned refuse to sacrifice Jon, because Lyanna is the mother and Ned became honorable after sleeping with his sister? "Promise me, Ned (.

Maybe Ned did not sacrifice his bastard to the old gods like he should have (a prince that was promised, kind of), so the White Walkers rose again to fetch him.

Because his mother is from a first men family => Ashara or Lyanna => as Catelyn is not Jon' s mother, but the cubs are found together => they are related => Ned is Jon's father, too => this cub is older => Jon is the oldest There are initially five cubs found, with closed eyes, later a sixth, with open eyes, that moved away We only have the pups, the dead mother, no father. It is maybe a stretch too far, but let's take a look at the dead direwolf mother. Plus an interesting tidbit for a different subject, when Ned and Robert talks in AGOT, Robert guesses Merryl and Aleena as names of Jon's mother, Merryl means Star of the Sea, and Aleena is a form of Helen, and one of its variant is Lyna, was Robert/GRRM hinting at Ashara and Lyanna as possible mothers of Jon? I am glad you point out the fog because the bridge is indeed misleading, but still did the shift through time complete a cycle or not?
