How It All Goes Down
Bran VII
- Through the eyes of Summer, Bran wanders through the destruction of Winterfell.
- He is woken by Meera, and Jojen reveals he was in his wolf dream for three days; he warns him that he might starve if he stays for too long.
- Bran tells them of his dream, and the group considers taking a look.
- Osha lights a torch, revealing they have been in the crypts beneath Winterfell the entire time. Clever girl.
- Based on what Bran saw during his dream, they agree to go take a look.
- Outside, the castle has been destroyed and no one is left; the direwolves emerge and reunite with their guardians.
- Surveying the castle, Summer darts into the godswood, so the group follows, and they find Maester Luwin mortally wounded.
- Luwin is relieved to see the boys safe and advises them to separate since they are Robb's heirs. He tells Bran to be strong.
- All leave except for Osha, who, at Luwin's request, finishes off the dying maester.
- Jojen and Meera agree to travel with Bran while Osha says she'll take Rickon; Hodor will go to be Bran's legs.
- They scavenge the castle for supplies and then part ways.
- Jojen announces that their path is north.
- Bran observes that Winterfell castle still stands—it's just broken—and he thinks about how he's broken but not dead either.
