So where did I leave off?
Bran? Jon? Oh my...
Let's start with the less scandalous Jon:
Jon is now at the wall, and yes Tyrion had been quite the instigator by telling him the truth about what its like being the bastard. When Jon gets to the wall, they begin calling him "Lord Snow" in mockery of his bastardom. The other guys at the wall are all low-lifes, cause the watch needs ALL the men it can get. These are the men that are being trained. Anyway, Jon's uncle (or half uncle I must say), goes off on a quest or hunt or mission, and Jon is resentful of him, and the whole situation. It's really cold, and some of the other kids (although they are considered men, they are but teenagers) gang up on Jon (he sparred with them really well and beat them, mainly cause he had prior training). Alistair the trainer breaks up the fight, and explains that Jon must learn to be a bit more sympathetic. Jon later hangs out with Tyrion for a bit, and when they got for dinner, he receives some good news (which I shall reveal later). Other than that little tiff, and Tyrion, and Alistair, there isn't too much drama, other than Jon dealing with his feelings inside, feeling cold, missing Winterfell and his siblings.
Catelyn:
Ned's gone, the girls are gone, Rob stays behind with his mom, the comatose Bran, and Ricken. His mom is in shock since Bran's accident, so Rob has taken charge. Catelyn is by Bran's side, when Rob notices the library on fire, so he sends the guards away to deal with it. In the mean time an old dude comes to assasinate Bran, but holy-moley, Bran's dire-wolf saves the day! This shakes Catelyn out of her shock state, into action state: they look at the knife, and investigate this guy and find out he was paid, and the knife is but royal... cause of the metal it was made from. Catelyn realizes there is a larger plot, someone is trying to hurt her family, and her husband is walking into a trap. She decides to go to King's Landing (where the King lives) and warn her husband. So she prepares for a clandestine journey. She gets there and oh boy Little Finger (Petyr Baelish) and Varys know. They are the Master of Coins and Master of Whispers to the king, respectively so. They are shady and apparently Little Finger has a history with Catelyn. He does seem like a disgusting creep, both of them really. Little finger sounds like he's a round horny conniving swine, and Varys is a skinny sniveling snake. She tells them of her knife theory, and she shows them the knife. It turns out it is Little Finger's Knife. However during some game, he won the knife from Jaime Lannister and lost it to... Tyrion Lannister. OOOOH!
Arya and Sansa:
The chapters aren't combined in the book, but they are sort of intertwined. So Arya is this spunky tom boy and Sansa is this elegant, Miss USA pageant material, who is totally crushing on prince Joffrey right? Well they are invited to the queen's room for tea with the princess and the queen. Oh yay! for Sansa, but Arya is stubborn and says "eff this BS, imma go play with the butcher's boy down the river, ride horses, and play with my wolf!" For some reason she has the sense to brush her wolf Nymeria (gosh I love that name). Sansa is all upset, so she goes to meet the queen, but some knights show up, so Sansa has to hang out with Joffrey for the whole day. Omg! Guess who is overjoyed: Sansa! Yes a whole day with her crush! He asks her what she wants to do, but suggests riding. She lies and says she LOVES riding. She loves needle work sheesh! For some reason Joffrey (although about 15or 16) is riding around in full armor, with a sword. He shows his sword to Sansa to impress her (I would LOVE to perceive this as an innuendo for something else). She is easily impressed. They come upon some noises, and Joffrey sees two kids playing swords. He and his massive ego NEED to go show these kids what real fighting is with a real sword. Ofcourse the kids are Arya and the Butcher's Son (a chubby round fella I'd imagine). So he charges the butchers boy, with his real sword, and the butcher boy had but a stick. So Arya hits Joffrey on the head with her stick. Then he charges Arya with his sword, so Nymeria attacks. Arya tells Nymaria to let go, and then flings Joffrey's impressive sword into the river. Then she rides off.
The repercussions to this are that Joffrey lies and says that Arya and Butcher's kid attacked him. Sansa a witness refuses to speak up. By this time Joffrey hates Sansa and the Starks, oh his poor massive ego. The spoilt rotten brat that he is. Cersei wants the hide of Arya's Wolf. However the wold has gone missing. So they decide to kill Sansa's wolf, Lady, as punishment, and preventative measure. Arya had run away for 3 days, and so she was to be scolded, and grounded. The hunting party had gone out to get food, and they managed to hunt and kill... the butcher's boy. Arya was shocked, and so was Ned. He realized what devils he was working with. The Lannisters Cersei and Joffrey, make me sick. Ned takes Lady's life, and orders her body to be buried at Winterfell. Sansa blames Arya, and says it should have been Nymeria. Arya reels in shock of the death of the butcher's son... honestly who effing kills innocent kids. Such a petty reason too. How have the people not risen up against this dictatorship?
Ned:
Ned is dealing with all this, and now he's the King's new hand. There's a lot of stress/ pressure on him, including his one kid being in Coma, his kids being reprimanded by the king, dealing with the Lannisters, dealing with other council members... it's just gonna get harder. When they reach King's Landing the council needs to meet ASAP, cause they don't wish to let a weary man rest, or they are jerks, or acting on the kings orders. The King wants a some sort of competition in the honor of his new hand- Ned, or so I understood. Which leads to the expose, that the Crown is in MAJOR debt to the Lannisters, and other parties including the "church". Ned is astounded, stupefied, and put his foot down saying, "imma have a chat with the king on his savings account..." Then he is about to head to his room, but Little Finger says "follow me!" and Ned asks where to? Then it is revealed how sarcastic this fella Bailish is "to a ally to slit your throat... " or something. Then he reveals he is taking Ned to his wife, who is being housed in a brothel. Great! Ned has to work with this guy on the council! After much dillydally, walking through alleys he reaches where Catelyn is staying undercover, and he is told about the knife. So they all ask, "why would Tyrion..?" and Bailish (and if you already forgot, Bailish is Little Finger) says "yo fools, he probably isn't acting alone". Deepening the mystery.
Bran:
So after much lucid dreaming in his comatose state, Bran wakes up after talking to a three-eyed wise crow. Yep that's the GOOD news. So everyone rejoice! However, he is probably handicapped. Oh well, he has his wolf, and his bro, Rob. He also is told by the crow in his dream (after being shown what his father, mother, sisters, and brothers, are going through, that "winter is coming", so he needs to wake up and live. He thus names his wolf Summer! Winter signifying something bad.
Oh the mystery thickens... nothing yet on Daenerys Targaryen, but from what I gather King Robert Baratheon, defeated the crazy King Targaryen, who was super rich. They did it all together (Starks, Arryns, Lannisters, and Baratheons... maybe more. There were some of those who fought with Targaryen but they now live quietly under Robert's rule. So here's this thingy, Ned exposes that when they had killed Targaryen, Jaime was the one to have done it, and he sat on the throne. When Ned walked in, Jaime said, "oh I was just keeping the seat warm for Robert, and its not a comfortable seat anyway." Ned found this particularly suspicious... hells ya! Jaime is screwing Robert's wife behind his back... OH NOT TO MENTION HIS OWN TWIN IDENTICAL SISTER. Robert tells Ned, "oh Jaime is harmless, he always play tiddlywinks like that". How naive... *sigh* the saga continues...
A few Corrections:
1- Alliser is the name of the trainer for Jon Snow at the wall. I thought it was Alistair like from Dragon Age.
2- Benjen had gone off to find Ser Royce beyond the wall.
3- Bailish had grown up with Catelyn and her Sister. He had a crush on Catelyn, but she never liked him back. Who knows he spread rumors about both of the... boys!
Bran? Jon? Oh my...
