Game Of Thrones: 10 Things We Learned From "The Children"
2. Arya Heads To Braavos
After obtaining a horse, Arya finds a wharf with many ships docked. She finds a captain and asks him if hell take her to the Wall, but he says that theres nothing there but ice, war and pirates. She attempts to bargain, but he explains that hes going home to Braavos. Remembering what Jaqen Hghar told her to do if she ever encountered a Braavosi, she shows her iron coin to the captain and says, Valar morghulis. The captain, though surprised she has the coin, responds, Valar dohaeris, and gives her a cabin on his ship. As the ship sails away, Arya takes one last look at Westeros before heading to the bow of the ship to look towards her destination: the free city of Braavos. Theres nothing left in Westeros for Arya. Most of her family is dead, and until now her only option was to head North to find Jon. However, life works in mysterious ways. Seeing potential in her, Jaqen knew that coin would come in handy for her one day if she ever want to go to Braavos. That day has now come. Its unclear what awaits Arya in the Free City, although if she follows the same path that Jaqen did, perhaps becoming a Faceless Man is somewhere in her future.
