Jimmy looked at Tyrion. "Alright! I'll hide him! Better keep him out of this."
Jimmy hid Jaime away, not because he liked him quite the opposite. Maybe it had something to do with Jaime killing the knight who once idolized him.
Before Jaime lost his hand, he used to think with his lower body, but after losing it, he learned to think with his mind.
Jimmy lifted Jaime with one hand and disappeared into the shadows...
Tyrion picked up the torch, his eyes burning with a fire one fueled by vengeance...
---
Jimmy leaned against the tunnel, waiting for Tyrion. After a while, he saw Tyrion emerge, his face marked with three claw marks, walking with a sage-like expression.
"Let's go!"
As they stepped out, a bald man appeared in Jimmy's line of sight. Just as Jimmy was about to strike him with a punch, the man squatted, dodging Jimmy's blow effortlessly.
"Varys? Tyrion, looks like your friend is more numerous than you think! Varys, I'm not going to hit you this time. Tyrion, let's go!"
Varys, still squatting on the ground, felt that speaking would surely result in his splitting in two.
This time? Had he seen him before? No hit? Varys suddenly remembered something and looked up in shock—
Ned Stark's dungeon!

"Who are you, exactly? Where are we going?" Tyrion asked, sitting on the back of a giant eagle, his surprise evident.
"Me? You can call me Jimmy. We're heading to Old Wolf Island."
"Are you the legendary Laughing Tree Knight from the Riverlands?"
"Yes! And here we are! Welcome to Old Wolf Island!"
Horus swooped down and landed, and Tyrion's eyes widened. By the Seven, what was he seeing?
A man who should have been dead was now teaching swordsmanship.
Robb Stark.
Of course, the one learning swordsmanship from Robb was Jendry.
"Tyrion?" Robb pointed his sword at Tyrion.
"What's this? You treat my guest like this?" Jimmy asked, staring at Robb with an incredulous expression. The young wolf just didn't know when to quit.
"Jimmy, want a spar?"
"Ugh, really? I've told you before, you won't learn anything from sparring with me, there's too much of a gap. Sparring with me won't help. You'd be better off training with Jendry."
"A spar! A spar! If I win, we stick to the usual rules…"
"Ugh! I can't deal with you! Jendry, pass me the sword!"
Jimmy took the training wooden sword from Jendry, a replica of his own horse-slaying blade. He gripped it with his left hand in reverse and right hand forward, the tip of the blade angled toward Robb.
Meanwhile, Jendry moved in front of the stunned Tyrion. "Hello! I've heard of you! I'm Jendry."
"Hello, Jendry. This is…"
"Oh, in Jimmy's words, the young wolf is causing trouble again! With equal speed, Jimmy can defeat three Robbs with just one hand…"
"But one Robb can defeat three of you!" Jendry grinned. "Hello, Tyrion, I'm Daisy. Daisy Mormont."
Daisy stepped forward as Robb and Jimmy began to clash. Robb, with a sword in each hand, faced Jimmy, who wielded his massive horse-slaying sword more fluidly than any short blade.
In just a few moments, Jimmy knocked Robb's sword from his hand and held his own sword to Robb's neck.
"Ugh! I really can't do anything about it!" Robb shook his head.
"Alright, was that unexpected? Daisy, pack your things. This time, you and I are going back."
Robb...
"What's with that expression?" Jimmy asked, surprised by Robb's current face.
"Haha! Robb wants to challenge you. If he wins, his request is for either Daisy or me to go back to the North to help Rickon. Rickon sent a letter saying he's a bit overwhelmed and asked who he could trust!"
Jimmy...
"I highly suspect that this is just an excuse to get punched!"
The group walked and laughed as they entered. Robb and Tyrion shook hands.
"You're confused? I'm confused too! Why does Jimmy praise you so much, calling you the best Hand of the King in the Seven Kingdoms and a kind-hearted Lannister?"
"Me? Kind-hearted? You're calling a little demon kind? Don't make me laugh…"
"Ned? Catelyn??"
"Tyrion, I apologize for what my wife did to you! Please come in!"
At that moment, Theresa came out holding a child. The little bundle, less than a month old, had just started to grow. It was a boy, named Kenton by Ned.
It symbolized the continuation of the Stark name…
---
After sitting down, Tyrion was still in shock. The person who was supposed to be dead was alive. He had personally seen Ned's head!
This…
Jimmy spoke, "This time I'm back to bring Tyrion to stay for a while. Also, Daisy and Jendry will come with me. Rickon is really too busy right now!"
"Also, Rickon knows nothing about warfare, and I'm not familiar either, so we need someone to lead the troops."
"Originally, Robb was the best candidate, but unfortunately, he can't appear in the North right now."
Ned nodded. "I'll follow your arrangement! If needed, I can go at any time."
"No need for now. Let's wait a year. It should be about over by then."
"Oh, by the way, Tyrion, what are your plans? If you don't want to fight in the Seven Kingdoms, I can send you across the Narrow Sea. There's a Targaryen named Daenerys over there, and she's ruling with three dragons…"
"Dragons? Hah! Her dragons better not set foot in Westeros. Westeros is where dragons fall."
Tyrion said.
Huh? What does Tyrion know? Jimmy activated his observant eye, and a purple flash passed through his eyes.
He examined Tyrion closely a few times, confirming he wasn't some divine messenger or priest. After some thought, if not that, then he must have relied on his wisdom?
"Your expression tells me that once those Targaryen dragons set foot in Westeros, their death is imminent."
"And you're so certain of it. Do you have prophetic abilities? Or have you already calculated it?"
"If Daenerys has gained everything because of her dragons, then if they die, everything she has will vanish. So…"
"Hey! What's that look?" Tyrion asked, noticing Jimmy's surprised expression.
"Ha, Tyrion, you're really somethingif Westeros had a god of wisdom, you'd definitely be the walking embodiment of wisdom."
"But there's one thing you got wrong. With me here, her dragons won't die! Daenerys... well, she's rather pitiful."
---
Soon, after finishing their meal, Jimmy left, taking Jendry and Daisy with him.
Watching as Horus flew away actually, Jimmy was the one being carried, with the other two in tow...
---
"Truly an amazing guy! Tyrion, can you tell me what's happened during this time?"
"We were all brought back by Jimmy when we were at death's door. Did you also find yourself in a situation where you were bound to die?"
