Chapter Text
Jon Snow woke with a groan, looking around in confusion "Father?" he asks, spotting Lord Stark by him. He could see many different people, all confused and blaming each other for their situation. One thing for sure, he wasn't in his bedroom anymore.
"I have no idea either Jon." Ned says, seeing the confused look on his nephew's face.
"If you don't know what's going on than shut your mouths!" A very fat man with a huge beard roars out to the crowd, everyone falling silent at the command. "Robert?" Ned asks, stepping forwards. The fat man let out a happy roar and pulls Ned into a bone-crushing hug.
"Ned! It's good to see your face!" the man laughs, clapping Ned on the back.
Before Ned could reply, a voice from the ceiling calls out "Attention!" silencing the lords and ladies as they look at the ceiling in confusion and shock "You are all here to watch what could have happened in your world if someone had made a different choice than they originally did, changing their world drastically." the voice says letting the words sink into the crowd "Since most of you won't know who the other is let me introduce all of you. From the North we have Ned Stark, Lord of the Winterfell, Warden of the North, Besides him is his wife Catelyn Stark, and their children Robb, Sansa, Arya, Bran, Rickon, and Theon Greyjoy and Jon Snow." Catelyn grits her teeth, glaring at the bastard.
"For the Riverlands, we have Edmure Tully, Heir to Riverrun, future Lord Paramount of the Riverlands, and his uncle Brynden Tully. For the Westerlands we have Tywin Lannister, Warden of the West and Lord of Casterly Rock. We also have his children Jaime Lannister of the Kingsguard, Queen Cersei Lannister and Tyrion Lannister. For the Iron Islands we have Yara Greyjoy."
"For Dorne is Doran Martell and his brother Oberyn. From the Stormlands we have the King Robert Baratheon, you already know all his titles. As well as his brothers Lord Stannis of Dragonstone and Lord Renly of Storm's End." Stannis grit his teeth at the slight in the message.
"From the Vale we have The Hand of the King Jon Arryn. From the Weaterlands we have Lord Commander Barristan Selmy and Lord Varys the Spider from Pentos. From the Reach we have the Queen of thorns Olenna Tyrell, Lord Mace Tyrell, Lord of Highgarden and Warden of the East. Now that introductions are over, grab some food and drinks and get settled in, you all are going to be here for a while."
With that the lights came on, letting everyone from Westeros see the food lined out in several tables. After some hesitation from everyone, Mace Tyrell went forwards and took a large drink of something labeled 'Whiskey'. "By the Gods, this is better than wine!" he yells out, Robert went over and took another bottle, downing half the contents by roaring that Tyrell was right. With the knowledge that it was safe everyone went and got the strange and familiar food from the table, finding seats for themselves some seats as a giant screen starts counting down from sixty.
The light went out in the room as the screen lit up, showing stars and Planetos before zooming in one Westeros.
"Time, Space, Reality, it's more than a linear path, it's a prism of endless possibilities. Where a single choice can branch out and change the world that you know, creating alternate timelines and worlds from the one you know. Now expand your minds, clear any doubts and ask yourself this one single, important question. WHAT IF?"
