One of the most painful things to experience was to see that you have been someone else all your life.Mason was indeed lucky to have found this out at an early age, what if he had found out about this when he had already married, settled and given birth to children, how would he have taken all this. As he sat there on the rock with Claire, he was listening to Claire quite alright but he was also deep in his own thoughts. ' what if his father had not felt sick and died a few months back, what if he had still been alive, does that mean he would have still been a nobody?, Would he still be a bread delivery worker?Would he still be attending that shithole he called his school where everyone wants to humiliate him at every given chance they got?. 'Actually right now Mason was furious, he was mad at his father for abandoning him, not just him but him and his mother. Although Mason never knew his mother that well, she had died when he was 11 and since then he had been struggling on his

Seeing the diminishing smile on Claire's face was kind of scaring Mason, he had thought about it and he had concluded that Claire was the best person to ask such a question. Although he was closer to old Greg and maybe it might have been easier to ask him, Claire had been the only one open enough to tell him about his past and everything he had come to know about the great seven.As he watched the smile on Claire's face turn into a frown, it was immediately washed off and the usual smile plastered on her face. " Who told you about the initiation? " Claire said gently.Mason knew there was no need to lie , so he decided it would be best to tell the truth. " I over heard the council talking about it the other day" " I see, well there is nothing wrong with you knowing about the initiation, we didn't tell you about it because we thought it wasn't time yet. But I guess since you have heard about it, it's best I tell you, " Claire said, sipping from the glass of wine in her hand. Mason

Earlier after Nicholas left to purchase the food, Mason had felt like he wanted to use the toilet, he was looking to ease himself and he couldn't just hold it any longer. Of course he could have just gone to the eatery to meet Nicholas, surely they would have toilets in there, but Mason wasn't really used to this flashy lifestyle yet, he would look for a lonely quiet place to ease himself instead. Getting out of the vehicle, Mason rolled the tinted glass up, and as he stood beside the car he decided to wait a little to see if Nicholas would come out. After waiting for About 2 mins and it didn't look like Nicholas would be coming out anytime soon, Mason gently began to walk down the street. The street was a little scanty with a few people outside so he thought it wasn't that bad. No one would really be able to recognize him anyway, at least that was what he thought. As he continued walking, his eyes caught an alley, it was a little darker in there and Mason thought it was the perf

Keeping items of the old for future references was always a very good choice for any person or organization to follow , as it will surely come in handy at any point in time. If all these weren't stored right here at the basement which was now referred to as the stone cave, maybe Mason and others before him wouldn't even know the things they knew right now. Standing in front of the huge framed picture on the wall, Mason could see the picture of his ancestor, Stark himself,the very first person who had actually created the Starks. Noticing that Claire had now moved on to the next picture which was positioned far after a few more pictures, Mason's eyes darted as he gently took a few steps forward and was now standing right beside Claire. Now he could clearly see the picture she was staring at, it was a picture of a lady who seemed to be in her early 40s, she had a slight smile on her face and a head full with silver hairs which was braided in pairs as they ran down her back with a f

The initiation trials were something that was done to those eligible for the crown and the leadership of the Starks. These trials were done to test or rather to build the participant in question, it tests their durability, how long they would survive in there. Although one could die in there, it was less likely to be the case, as no one in the history of the Starks had died while carrying out the initiation trials. There was a belief that says, if one was a true bloodline of Lord Stark, the founder of the Starks, then they won't die inside the trial space no matter how long they seem to stay in there. But if a person who was not a direct or true bloodline of lord Stark enters the trial space, then they would surely die. No one really knows how true this was as it had never been tested before. The initiation trials were like a game, divided into stages, with each stage designed for a different purpose, and somehow it gets tougher by each stage. As Mason stood on the step, hand still
