It wasn't every day that revenge played itself out for you. Sure, Lyanna had waited twenty something years for it, but she had always been confident that one day Elia Martel would get what was coming her way. However she had died, Lyanna sort of hoped that it was a slow, horrible death. Maybe that was an awful thing to think, but she didn't care. That woman was personally responsible for the death of both her parents and her brother, plus the sole reason why Lyanna had seen her son once in her entire life. Now that Lyanna hadn't hired private detectives to check up on him over the years because she had, but it wasn't the same. There was a difference between holding your son in your arms and looking at a picture of him playing in the yard.
Lyanna knew that her son had a harder life than he should have had because of her. It was her fault that Elia Martel came after her. It was her fault that Jon had to grow up in a home with people who were not his parents, but Lyanna knew that Eddard would always treat Jon as his son. She had made him promise that. She couldn't say the same for Catelyn though.
She wasn't sure of her next move. Sure, she was tempted to head to Orange County and see her son, but she wasn't sure it was the best thing for him. There could still be eyes on Jon even though she highly doubted it. Maybe that was just her excuse for being so damn scared. Yeah, that's right. The fearless Lyanna Stark scared of her son. She was just scared that she wouldn't be welcomed back with open arms like she so desperately wanted to be. What if he hated her? What if he blamed her for everything?
She'd deserve it, that's what.
