Game Of Thrones: 7 Things We Learned From "The Lion And The Rose"

4. Bran Is Experiencing Visions

While the people of Westeros deal with their political and personal problems, Bran is chasing his destiny in the North. The last time we saw Bran he was traveling beyond the Wall with Hodor, Meera and Jojen. As we reunite with them, Bran is warging inside of his direwolf Summer to hunt for foo, yet when he€™s awoken by Meera, Jojen warns him that he shouldn€™t spend too much time as Summer, otherwise he€™ll slowly be cut off from his human form and forget everything about himself. As they continue traveling, Bran spots a weirwood tree and asks Hodor to take him to it. When he touches the tree, he experiences visions of the past, present and future. Among his visions were the three-eyed raven, his father, a dragon flying over King€™s Landing, and a voice that states €œLook for me beneath the tree...NORTH.€ Letting go of the tree, Bran tells his companions that he knows where they have to go. Unlike most Game of Thrones characters, Bran€™s story has never been directly outlined. We know he has supernatural abilities and is traveling to find the mysterious three-eyed raven, but it€™s still not clear why to either him or the audience. While most fans might be able to predict where other characters€™ storylines might be heading, it€™s almost impossible to do that for Bran. The North is full of mysteries, and neither Bran nor the viewers know what he€™ll eventually find out there, only that it€™s getting him closer to his destiny. Let€™s just hope he and the others don€™t run into any White Walkers in the meantime.
