[UPDATED] The Prince that was Promised

I promise. Hear my words, and bear witness to my vow. Next time I'll see ya', you'll be all in black. It was always my color.

Night gathers, and now my watch begins. Welcome. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife Hold no lands Father no children.

I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men.

I did what I thought was right, I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, And I got murdered for it. For this night and all the nights to come. My name is Jon Snow, I'm Lord Commander of the Night's Watch The former Lord commander. You're Ned Stark's bastard aren't you? The bastard son of a traitor? When my husband brought that baby home from the war, I couldn't bear to look at him.

I never met my mother. Lyanna,
- My father wouldn't even tell me her name. So I prayed to the gods take him away, make him die. For the watch! He let the wildlings through our gates, as no Lord Commander has ever done before.

You spent too much time with us, Jon Snow, You'd rather burn than kneel? You can never be a kneeler again. Isn't their survival-
- More important than you pride? You're a good lad. Truly, you are. It'll get us all killed.

I was with you at Hardhome, We saw what's out there,
- Thousands of them. We know it's coming here. If we don't take back the North, we'll never be safe. And the divided North won't stand a chance against the Night King.

I want you to help me. How can you leave us now? I'm tired of fighting. I did everything I could, you know that.
- You swore a vow! I have pledged my life to the Night's Watch and gave my life! "For all nights to come!" They killed me Ed, my own brothers! I fought, My watch is ended.

We should have stayed in that cave. And I failed. I served house Stark once,
- So I prayed to all seven Gods, But house Stark is dead. Let the boy live,
- Kill the boy Jon Snow, And he lived? Kill the boy.
- And he lived.

Good,
- And let the man be born. Then now go fail again. They think you some kind of God, The man who returned from the dead. I'm not a god.

Now I'm back, why? I don't know. Never forget what you are,
- Maybe we'll never know. The rest of the world will not.
- What does it matter? You go on.
- Wear it like armor, and it can never be used to hurt you.

You I won't find much joy while we're here. You fight for as long as you can,
- but we can keep others alive. You clean up as much of the shit as you,
- We could defend those who can't defend themselves. "I am the shield that guards the realms of men." Maybe we don't need to understand any more than that.

It's time. Maybe that's enough.
- Aye. Maybe that's enough. The long night is coming and the dead come with it No clan can stop them, the Free Folk can't stop them, The Night's Watch can't stop them and all the southern Kings can't stop them.

Only together, All of us. And even then it may not be enough, but at least we'll give the fuckers a fight! Because the North is my home, It's part of me, and I will never stop fighting for it, No matter the odds. Your uncle, Lord Commander Mormont, chose John to be his successor Because-
- He saw something in John, And now we've all seen it too.
- Because he spoke for the free folk, When no other southerners would.
- He may be young, He died for us! But he's the commander we turned to when the night was darkest. We need him.
- I'm not a Stark.

All those hard sons of bitches chose him as their leader,
- Snow. You are to me. Because they believe in him.
- Jon Snow avenged the red wedding. He's the prince that was promised.

He is the white wolf. The King in the North! We know no king but the King in the North whose name is Stark, You might no have my name, I don't care if he's a bastard. But you have my blood. Ned Stark's blood runs through his veins.

He's my King, from this day until his last day! The King in the North! The King in the North! The King in the North! The King in the North! Fight with me! Go, go, follow your commander! (Chanting) The King in the North! Uncle Benjen. (Continuing to chant) The King in the North! His name is Aegon Targaryen. You have to protect him. Promise me Ned.

He's never been a bastard. Promise me. He's the heir to the Iron Throne. There is only one war that matters.

And it is here..
