The aforementioned horses were tied to a tree nearby, neighing in fear. Jon had no use for living horses, as most of them were deathly afraid of Ghost, Winter, and Stormstrider. It would take much time before the horse would get used to their presence. Jon killed them off, decapitating each one with a quick slash of his blade. If nothing else, they would serve as food for his familiars and himself. Winter had crisped one of the human corpses in the last ambush instead of turning it to ash and began eating it. Jon definitely did not want them to develop a taste for human flesh, and it was not easy to separate the adolescent dragon from his "meal', familiar connection or not. The dark-blue dragon still listened to him and his commands, but he was greatly willful in things that Jon didn't specify.
