Dear Jon,
Let it be said that if I could have left you in peace, I most certainly would have. The Gods have plans for us all, and when they don’t follow through in the right ways, things must be fixed. Within the chest given to you there will be letters from Rhaegar Targaryen about a prophecy called ‘The Song of Ice and Fire’. You were meant to fulfill this but failed in some way I cannot tell you. The Others will return unless we fix this mistake. Also inside the chest are books on High Valyarian, Dragons, and a copy of Fire and Blood. I would suggest reading all of them, for you are the prince who was promised to us. When you finally loop again, You must ensure that you find the sword lightbringer. Take your time, you will have plenty, and be the best at this you can.
Signed by
Bran Stark
The Three Eyed Raven
“... “ Jon silently re-read the letter seriously what is it with this only the chosen one can kill the Night King with a flaming sword of light anyways
Arya killed him just fine with a knife
In the war against the long night King Robert Baratheon and Lord Eeddard Stark and Arya Stark faced the Night King where they his father and King fell but not without slaying a dozen of the White Walkers and eventually felling the Night King (mainly keeping him engaged in meel while Arya used the distraction to deal the final blow)
Lord Stark survived a day during which he entrusted Robb as his heir and revealed Jon’s parentage as the son of Prince Rhaegar Targary and Lady Layanna Stark
Jon immediately renounced his claim to the iron throne and took black the very next day much to the surprise of everyone including his half-brother Aegon Targaryen and Aunt Daenerys Targaryen
A sensible decision considering that the war of five kings and one queen that followed
The North only had a bit of trouble with Balon Greyjoy and his brother Euron Greayjoy (who was killed by an angry Stannis)
Eventually Aegon Targaryen and Daenerys Targaryen won the war got married and the realm stabilized
Jon was pretty much content with leading the wildlings the brothers of the Night Watch until the letter came by-
Well it doesn't matter it might be a good thing to get of his half frozen arse and see the world

WELCOME TO THE GROVE OF GLASIR.
NO SOLICITING. NO LOITERING.
HOTEL DELIVERIES: PLEASE USE THE NIFLHEIM ENTRANCE.
Jon Snow stared at the bronze plaque was affixed to the wall while trying to understand what exactly happened
Then the double doors swung inward with a groan. Blinding golden light spilled out.
A burly man appeared on the stoop.He wore top hat, white gloves and a dark green jacket with tails and the interlocking letters HV embroidered on the lapel. His warty face was smeared with ashes. His beard hadn’t been trimmed in decades. His eyes were bloodshot and murderous, and a double-bladed axe hung at his side. His name tag read: HUNDING, SAXONY, VALUED TEAM MEMBER SINCE 749 C.E.
Jon immediately drew Longclaw
“Whoa!wait I am not here to kill you”
“Speak! What is this place “
‘You’re dead, aren’t you?’ the man said. ‘Follow me. I’ll show you to registration.’
The inside of the place was massive the foyer alone was twice as big as the mansion appeared on the outside. An acre of hardwood floor was covered with exotic animal skins: a stripped horse, lion and a forty-foot-long reptile that looked like a small dragon. Against the right wall, a fire crackled in a large hearth. In front of it, a few men in fluffy green bathrobes lounged on leather couches, laughing and drinking from silver goblets. Over the mantel hung the stuffed head of a wolf.
Columns made from rough-hewn tree trunks held up the ceiling, which was lined with spears for rafters. Polished shields gleamed on the walls. Light seemed to radiate from everywhere
In the middle of the foyer, a freestanding board announced:

‘Luggage,’ he repeated. ‘Do you have any?’
‘Um ….No.’
Hunding grunted. ‘No one brings luggage any more. Don’t they put anything on your funeral pyre?’
‘only my sword and armour’
‘Huh good thing they did, getting a custom armour here is too expensive.’ He looked towards the far corner of the room, where an overturned boat’s keel served as the reception desk. ‘ Come on.’
The man behind the keel had a his beard and his hair looked like a large stack of hay. He was dressed in a forest-green pinstriped suit. His name tag read: HELGI, MANAGER, EAST GOTHLAND, VALUED TEAM MEMBER SINCE 749 C.E.
‘Welcome!’ Helgi glanced up from his bright mirror thing ‘Checking in?’
‘Uh –’
‘You realize check-in time is three p.m.,’ he said. ‘If you die earlier in the day, I can’t guarantee your room will be ready.’
Jon blinked owlishly
. ‘Ah, here we are.’ He grinned, revealing exactly three teeth. ‘We’ve upgraded you to a suite.’
I looked back and forth between them, checking their name tags.
‘749 … what is C.E.?’
‘Common Era,’ said the manager. ‘What you might call A.D.’
‘Wait you are telling me it has been more than four hundred years since I died ?!’
“Which year did you die”
“301”
‘Say what now?’
‘By Thor’s Hammer what were you doing the last thousand years! ,’ Helgi asked
“Probably being dead”
A raven suddenly flew over to, Helgi and cried something
“Ah I see” Helgi nodded apparently understanding everything the raven told him
Jon wondered if the raven was Bran
“Right now sorry for your inconvenience now how many keys would you like? Is one sufficient?’ Helgi asked politely “Hunding explain to our guest what he missed in the last thousand years “
“Yes sir”
While being dead and a chosen of the god Odin, a soldiers in his eternal army was a suprise for Jon Snow adjusted to the situation more or less
His ‘suite ‘ was like his room and Solar back in castle black combined with a couple of stone direwolf decorations
Honestly this afterlife for brave and honourable warriors who died in battle was many times better than the cold dark one he first experienced
Hunding explained that in a thousand years human had discovered something called electricity,ethernet and chocolate (he mostly sang praises of chocolate)
A ‘You must know victory-runes
If you want to know victory. Carve them
Into your sword’s hilt, on the blade guards
And the blades, invoking Tyr’s name twice.’ he sang as he dropped him in his room

Valkyrie with blood red hair and wearing a white dress was embroidered with Viking runes and a set of old-fashioned keys and a single-bladed axe on her golden belt escorted him
“Valkyries are responsible for choosing the einherjar. Each warrior here died a valiant death. Each had a belief in honour, or some connection to the Norse gods that made him or her eligible for Valhalla.” She explained to him
‘A connection to a god?’
‘Many einherjar are demigods... children of a mortal and a god but most are mortals. You’re chosen for Valhalla because of your courage and honour, not your blood’
The feast hall was large with the massive tree Læraðr in the centre,the goat Heiðrún and the hart Eikþyrnir stood on top of Valhalla and graze on the branches of the tree. Heiðrún’s udder produces vats of mead and Eikþyrnir’s antlers drip liquid into the spring Hvergelmir from which flows forth all waters
the food was good and the mead better
The meat was well seasoned and tender. The bread was warm with a buttery crust and the mead was cold and smooth, with undercurrents blackberry? Apples? It was also sharp sharper than any wine or ale he had filling him with a warm fire
At the high table, the thanes began banging their cups on the table in unison. All around the hall, the einherjar joined in until the Hall of the Slain thundered with a metal heartbeat.
Helgi stood and raised his goblet. The noise died down.
‘Warriors!’ he spoke voice filled the hall. ‘ten new fallen have joined us today! hear about our newcomers’ worthy deeds’
---------------------———————————-----------------------———————————--
“It had always been the Valkyries tradition to tell of the hero’s deeds.” Odin explained “we don’t really get many warriors from another world too often I am afraid so I suppose some felt your deeds were unbelievable “
Mostly the entire hall fell into chaos over the whole fighting the army of dead, riding a dragon to battle the Night King on his undead dragon in midair and the final battle in the godswood where he and the Night King slew each other
A bloody, violent and honourable death one everyone loved but some Thanes questioned the validity of the claims before Odin intervened and declared to support in his favour
“ Munin spoke rather highly of you he was rather upset that you were lost in Ginnungagap for a thousand years “
Jon looked at Munin the ravens studied him with dark hungry eyes...
Unknown location
Bran loudly sneezed causing Cersei Lannister to shrink and make him lose his grip
‘Huh that’s one way to fall ‘ He thought as the he rushed to meet the hard cold ground
