Jon & Ghost  //  Robb & Grey Wind

(for @queen–of–thorns)

supremeleaderkylorens:

Summer’s howls were long and sad, full of grief and longing. Shaggydog’s were more savage. Their voices echoed through the yards and halls until the castle rang and it seemed as though some very pack of direwolves haunted Winterfell, instead of only two… two where they had once been six. Do they miss their brothers and sisters too? Bran wondered. Are they calling to Grey Wind and Ghost, to Nymeria and Lady’s Shade? Do they want them to come home and be a pack together? - A Clash of Kings, Chapter 4, Bran I

The Stark kids

and their direwolves

and a Greyjoy kid

A DIREWOLF is a close relative of the wolf, but larger and stronger. They are named after the real world direwolves, Pleistocene megafauna, which were larger than modern wolves (but not as large as portrayed in the books). Direwolves are extinct north of the wall, as they are a very large and dangerous predator, and people have probably hunted them out. A grey direwolf in a white field is the sigil of House Stark.

there are six pups, one for each of the stark children.

@dailyrobbstark Creation Event: Grey Wind

Any man Grey Wind mislikes is a man I do not want close to you. These wolves are more than wolves, Robb. You must know that. I think perhaps the gods sent them to us. Your father’s gods, the old gods of the north.

Make me choose - @palominojacoby asked: Direwolves or Dragons (Season 1)

“’You have five trueborn children,” Jon said. “Three sons, two daughters.The direwolf is the sigil of your House. Your children were meant to have these pups, my lord.’
  Bran saw his father’s face change, saw the other men exchange glances, He loved Jon with all his heart at that moment. Even at seven, Bran understood what his brother had done.”

“’He must have crawled away from the others,’ Jon said.
  ‘Or been driven away,’ their father said, looking at the sixth pup. His fur was white, where the rest of the litter was grey. His eyes were as red as the blood of the ragged man who had died that morning. Bran thought it was curious that this pup alone would have opened his eyes while the others were still blind.
  ‘An albino,’ Theon Greyjoy said with wry amusement. “This one will die even faster than the others.”
  Jon Snow gave his father’s ward a long, chilling look. ‘I think not, Greyjoy,’ he said. ‘This one belongs to me.’”
