Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

Bran Stark dreamed of the three-eyed crow again.

And three dragons—

One white, one black, one green.

They hovered and roared in the night sky, spouting hot flames, and beneath them was a beautiful manor full of plane trees.

A grand banquet is being held in the garden, with elegant gentlemen, beautiful ladies, valiant knights, and a king wearing a ruby ​​crown and holding a fiery red sword.

Casts red shadows.

Bran always felt that the king's face was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

He heard the nobles shouting the name of Caesar, and he realized that the king was Caesar, the Storm King.

Suddenly, Caesar looked up, across the endless night sky, as if looking into Bran's eyes.

He found me!

There was a throbbing in Bran's heart, like a thief caught by his master, an inexplicable fear swept over him.

"Bran," came the soft whisper, "Bran, wake up. Bran..."

Bran closed his third eye, opened the other two—

Two human beings, two blind ones.

"Bran?" Meera Reed shook his arm. "Having another nightmare? You were shaking just now."

"Hmm..." Bran nodded, and the eyes of the Storm King just now remained in his mind. Those eyes were as deep as night and as hot as lava.

"What did you see?" Jojen Reed asked.

Meera and Jojen are the children of Howland Reed, the lord of Greywater. They have a typical Zelander appearance, short and thin, with green eyes.

The Reed family has been loyal to the Stark family for generations, and Earl Howland is the most trusted partner of Duke Eddard. The Battle of the Tower of Joy—a battle that Duke Eddard never wanted to mention—they were the only two who survived. people.

After the fall of Winterfell, Bran escaped with his mother and brother, all the way north, until he was taken in by the Umber family in the Last Hearth City.

During this period, the siblings of the Li De family also came over.

Because of the close relationship between the two families and the deep friendship between the parents, Bran soon became acquainted with the Zedi siblings.

Jojen Reed taught Bran how to use his shapeshifting ability, and also said that he had the "green sight" talent.

"I saw three dragons, and a king," Bran said.

He knew that this was a dream brought about by the "Vision of Green", which allowed him to see the past, present and future in his dream.

But he still can't control this ability well, he can't see what he wants to see, but instead he is always troubled by some inexplicable dreams.

"The one with dragons in Westeros is the Storm King Caesar." Jojen said, "What did he do? How did he scare you like this?"

Bran shook his head with lingering fear:

"It's nothing, it's just...he seems to be able to see me..."

Jiujian's green eyes narrowed slightly, and said:

"Maybe Caesar also has green vision."

"How is this possible?" Elder sister Meera retorted, "Caesar doesn't have the blood of the ancestors and doesn't believe in the old gods, how could he have the talent of green vision?"

"This..." Jojen was obviously not sure either.

"I'm hungry, do you have something to eat?" Bran muffled.

He doesn't care about Caesar, he doesn't even care about the dragons, he just wants to see the people he cares about, his father, mother, brother Robb, brother Rickon, sister Sansa and Arya, but he doesn't understand How to control the dream, so that you can't see the person you miss.

"I caught two rabbits, and I'll bring them here for you." Meera said.

The rabbit meat was cold, tough and fishy, ​​but Bran wasn't fussy.

He is no longer the second son of the Duke. Apart from the Zedi sisters, there is only one servant Hoduo, who is simple and silly.

Winterfell was also finished. Although his younger brother Rickon could still go back to be the lord, everyone knew that a six-year-old child was destined to be a puppet.

Both his father and elder brother were dispatched to the Great Wall. Bran was supposed to inherit Winterfell, but the mysterious Zedi sisters said that his mission was in the north, outside the Great Wall, in a place called "Three-Eyed Raven". on the person.

Sometimes Bran doesn't know why he made up his mind to go crazy with this pair of siblings in the first place, maybe because of those weird dreams, maybe he lost his mind because of being too sad, maybe he just didn't want to go back and become a puppet...

Anyway, he had sneaked out of Last Hearth with the Marsh and his brother, without even saying goodbye to his mother or brother.

After hastily filling his stomach, Bran wiped his hands on his body and said:

"Let's keep going."

"good."

"Hodor." Hodor has a huge body, and he can still walk like flying with Bran on his back.

Granny said Hodor was of giant blood, and maybe he was. It's a pity that his brain is not good, otherwise he will become a terrible fighter.

The group of people did not take the king's road, but shuttled among the deserted forest paths, all the way to the north.

The weather was getting colder and the vegetation was getting less and less. After an unknown amount of time, Bran finally saw the slender white line on the horizon.

He knew that it was the Great Wall of Desperation.

"Are we going to Castle Black?" Bran asked excitedly.

He knew that his father and brother were supposed to be there by now, and so was his illegitimate brother Jon Snow.

He really wanted to see them.

"Of course not," said Jojen. "The Night's Watch at Castle Black won't let us pass the Wall, and they've heard that the wildlings are attacking Castle Black."

Bran was a little disappointed, but he didn't refute:

"Then where do we pass the Great Wall?"

"There are dozens of castles along the Great Wall. Unfortunately, with the decline of the Night Watchman Legion, most of the castles are now deserted. We are going to the north from these abandoned castles."

"But when the night watchmen abandoned these castles, didn't they block the gates of the castles with stones?"

"It's blocked." Jojen's eyes flashed green, "but there are still some passages that cannot be blocked."

Bran stopped asking, and lay on Hodor's back with peace of mind, wondering what he was thinking.

Before it was completely dark, they finally came to a castle covered in weeds.

"This is the Nightfort." Jojen said, although it was his first time here, "the largest castle under the command of the Night Watch."

With that said, he took the lead and walked forward.

There was no one in the castle, only dilapidated wooden houses, frozen stones and thick dust.

They began to explore, and found a dark door, like a maze.

But the gate to the outside of the Great Wall was blocked.

But Jiujian is still looking for it, and it seems that there will be another road leading to the Great Wall.

He found a well in what seemed to be a kitchen and drilled into it.

Meera immediately followed, Bran hesitated, and directed Hodor to go down with his back behind his back.

The underground is dark and damp, and the further you go down, the darker it becomes.

After walking for about ten minutes, Jojen suddenly stopped.

Bran couldn't see anything now, except a door.

The door was made of white weirwood, shining like milk, and there was a pale old face on the door.

The door opened his eyes, white eyes.

"Who are you?" asked the door.

Bran didn't know how to answer, but Jojen said:

"I am the sword in the dark, the guardian on the Wall, the flames against the cold, the light at dawn, the horn to wake the sleepers, the shield to guard the kingdom."

He lied. Bran thought. This is the oath of the Night's Watch, and they are not the Night's Watch.

"Go." The doorway seemed unable to discern lies.

Its mouth opens to reveal a passage.

On the other side of the passage, there is a wind and snow flying all over the sky.

"Go." Jiujen said, and walked into the door first.

Meera followed, and so did Hodor.

Bran turned his head suddenly, as if there were eyes watching him in the darkness.

Those eyes belonged to the Storm King.

He remembered that the Storm King in the dream once said something to himself——

Don't go outside the Great Wall.

Bran shook his head, forgetting the Storm King's eyes and warning.

Let Hodor pass the door behind his back.

Bran wants to go beyond the Great Wall and meet the Three-Eyed Crow, not only because of the mission that the Zedi siblings said, but also because in his dream, the Three-Eyed Crow once said that he could fly.

He broke his leg and couldn't walk.

But he wants to fly.
