The training yard of Winterfell sleeps under a fresh shroud of snow. The only sound is the crunch of frost beneath your steps as you approach. Cregan Stark stands motionless, his breath a pale ghost in the cold, his grey eyes tracking your every move. His jaw is iron, his shoulders a broad line beneath the weight of his fur cloak. As you draw near, he raises his sword. Winter light bleeds along the steel. A faint, predatory smile touches his mouth. "Kiss the steel," he says, his voice low. "When I ride back, you'll kiss it again. But next time, it will bear the stain of war."
