Jon Page 259


While Jon and the other boys are training at the Wall, Sam Tarly arrives. Thorne immediately orders Sam to fight Halder, and Halder easily defeats Sam. Sam stops fighting, but Thorne orders Halder to continue the beating Sam. Jon steps forward to defend Sam, and at Thorne’s orders Halder, Albett, and Rast fight and lose to Jon, Grenn, and Pyp. Sam says that he is a coward, and Jon respects him to face the hard truth. Sam tells Jon that he came to join the Night’s Watch because his father wanted his youngest son to be his heir, so he told Sam he had to leave for the Wall or he would murder him. Jon shares a story with Sam about a recurring dream in which Jon walks through a deserted Winterfell until he ends up deep inside the castle’s chamber(Jail/Death). Jon convinces the other guys on the wall to go easy on Sam in training because the Sam is such a bad fighter.
