[ It is strange to no longer need to keep it a secret. Ned wonders if it will ever not be strange. To see Lyanna's story displayed here for all to see, when he has spent his whole life protecting it. Protecting Jon from the deadly truth of it. ]

It is. I believe they met that night, although Lyanna never told me what happened. All I know for sure is that Rhaegar rode out to find the mysterious knight, and Lyanna went for a ride that same afternoon, and came back late.

None of us heard of them meeting any other time, before he crowned her Queen of Love and Beauty. Ashara was close to the court, she would have heard the gossip. No, that was the night it all started, surely.
