ZOMG!
Arya has been captured by Tywinn Lannister's men and after they drag her, hotpie, and Gendry all over the lands, they take her back to Haranhaal. By now everyone knows she's a girl, so they put her to work in the kitchen, but for some reason (defiance?), that plan is scrapped and she is sent to work in the tower under Weese. Weese is a crappy person, punishes everyone, Child Services would have a big problem with the basic culture in this book... Tyrion slapping Joffrey black and blue (serves him right), Sansa being beaten by Joffrey's men, Arya being puniched with spankings till she bled. Not to be crude but they pull down her pants, and beat her, until theirs blood rolling down her legs... so I wonder is the blood due to her hymen being breached due to the beatings, or is the thing she's being beat with so sharp edged? I was slapped as a child but never spanked as such... so I really wonder. Anyway one day she's working away, and she sees some men come back and lo and behold some of the felons that were being taken up to the wall, had joined Lannisters army... Sellswords! She had released them when the Lannister Army had fought Yoren and set their shelter ablaze. She was scared of them however. At night this fellow named Ja'quen or something came and told her- I owe you 3 lives. By this time, Arya's bedtime prayer had become the names of all then men she wanted dead. So she gets two inconsequential men killed, but then realized she should have had Lord Tywinn killed. How we sometimes go after the petty. Also I noticed she always has this pride/ entitlement that "I'm a Stark! How dare they!" But she never acts on it... However the entitlement/ego/pride thing I have an unrelated theory about that behavior though. that's little Arya's story... she's being awesome!
Catelyn is sent down to Storm's End, to meet up with Renly to strike a deal or something. In the mean time, I become rather annoyed, angry and disgusted by the character which is Theon Greyjoy. He was sent to Pyke to forge an alliance between the Starks and the GReyjoys, but because of history, war and old alliances Theon's old dad chooses to attack Winterfell. In the mean time it is revealed that what a lecherous f#$% Theon is. He is kinda sick, he hits on his sister, and she even touches him, and he screws around with the captain of a ships daughter and then leaves her. He is turning out to be a nasty character, but I am told by everyone who has read the book before me, he is what he is. So anyway Theon makes landfall somewhere along the way, and starts deviating from the plans. Since his men don't take him seriously, his uncle is sent with him, who everyone fears. Turns out that Theon's own sister Asha, is a bad @$$ swashbuckling woman. So although Theon is attracted to her, when he realizes she's his sister, he realizes she is competition. After he left (I fear I began too many a sentence with the word - since) as a ward/ hostage of the Starks, the Greyjoys only had Asha to rely upon. As a result or maybe it was fate, but she became awesome. That's what's going on in Northwestern Westeros.
Coming back to Catelyn, she is sent by Robb, to go Southeast to treat (treatise) with Renly. Renly is a gay chap, as in he is merry, jocular and flamboyant. He has taken a wife though to procreate, although he has a rainbow banner, as well as the Barthareon banner, however we slowly realize something is going on between him and Ser Loras Tyrell. Oh yeah! Catelyn gets there, and the good King Renly is having a tourney, despite the north being war ravaged. Oh the sense of kings! So Catelyn and he are talking something very important, when they are interrupted by Stannis taking hold of Storm's End. Dang! Catelyn meets up with Stannis, and he has the Red Lady - Melisandre by him. renly is supposed to come Parley but he wants his brother to wait. Arrogance!!!! Men and their egos. Catelyn talks with Stannis, and then Renly arrives. She finally learns that Joff and the rest and bastards of the Queen and her twin, the Kingslayer AKA Jaime. Epic scene, well written, can't wait to see it, would love to see fan art on it. Stannis is super mad, and Renly stays jocular, and offers his brother a peach, which he refuses. Anyway egos all afire, they adjourn the meeting. Catelyn goes to pray, and when she goes to see Renly the next morning he is mysteriously murdered by telepathy or something. Catelyn escapes with Brienne (Renly's own Knight), and heads to Riverunn. Storms End is all in chaos. The armies have to join forces now. When Catelyn reaches Riverunn, Robb is off East, and her brother is preparing for war with Tywinn. They have a whole plan set up though. What they don't know is Greyjoys are moving too, and so are the Lannisters.
Tyrion recieves the news of Renly's death, and sends Baelish (Little Finger) down to go forge an alliance that Renly's widow marry Joffrey. Joffrey doesn't know this yet, however I think it will not allow him to torture Sansa anymore, or it may increase the tortures. Tyrion feels sad for poor Sansa, and witnesses Joffrey humiliating her, and maybe almost raping her, because of Robb killed his uncle and other tall tales. It is a scary scene and obviously had me enraged. She is utterly helpless, no one in the world there for her, and she is beaten, abused, and now her clothes were ripped off... Tyrion helps her, and tries protecting her to the best of his ability. He questions her later if she loves Joffrey, and she lies well and says she loves him with all her heart. Tyrion notices that she lies well. He lies well too ofcourse, he poisons his sis for a while, so she may fall sick, so he can get things in place his way. He sneaks out at night to go see Shae, I think he loves her. Am waiting for her to betray him maybe, and for him to become even more jaded, OR she get killed by the Lannisters and he turn against them OR she get killed by the mobs, and he gets angrier than ever before. Just theorizing. Part of his plan, is he send Mycella Lannister North East, for safety and to forge alliances... on their way back they meet the mobs, and Joffrey is just idiotic, and Tyrion, as small as he is, takes control of the situation. Sansa gets lost in these crowds, and injured but saved by the Hound (Clegane). Tyrion realizes what a useless/ruthless king Joffrey is, and things will not last. So they probably have to flee.
Up North, beyond the wall, Jon is traveling with the captain of the night's watch, and all the men. they stop at a crooked dude (Craster), with many wives', place. He is barely hospitable but Jon learns from a woman who wants to escape that the guy, Craster, is making a lot of babies with these women, but only keeping the female babies, and giving the male babies away to the wights. Then they travel further north, they come to a place, make camp, and Ghost leads Jon to a spot where he finds clothes and weapons of the nights watch hidden... the mystery deepens. Theory - so the wights leave this old man alone, cause he gives them boys which they turn into wight warriors. The clothes they found were clothes of Benjen Stark hidden cause he donned some other clothes to pass unnoticed. We shall see.
Bran still a cripple, is learning to live with crazy dreams, no parents, as a lord of Winterfell, with other Wards (the Freys) and two other children - Jojen and Meera Reed. Jojen has dreams about the three eyed crow, and other "green" dreams. No he is not going to join green peace, or sail the rainbow warrior, but he dreams of things that have not come to pass (as Lady Galadriel would say). Jojen shares his dreams, and he knows Bran has dreams too. Bran dreams of being in Summer sometimes, and Jojen reveals to him that he is a Warg. He is a direwolf at heart. How cool! Bran doesn't think its cool, and asks Maester Luwin, and Maester Luwin says it's just coincidence. In real life, I have green dreams all the time, and I don't think they are coincidence at all. Jojen tells of a dream he saw long time ago of Winterfell being drowned by the ocean. So amazine- the Sea being the Greyjoys family- they have the sea in their blood since they live on Pyke, which is an island in the sea. Drowning is a massacre... Jojen has other stories and dreams to share. I think Bran will either head north to the wall, or go elsewhere, and then Winterfell is seized, and dun dun dun...
Dany first creates her own city, but then travels south to Qarth. Mormont wants to go east to Asahi to her, by now Dany realizes that Mormont loves her like a lover, but sees her as a daughter and a princess too. Dany keeps her dragons about her, and at Qarth she is treated as a beggar queen, and she realizes how and why Viserys was so angry, bitter and ultimately went insane. She made a note to be mindful of not letting it get to her. Many people pay to see the dragons, but never selling them. Desperately Dany seeks to find ships to sail to King's Landing and take the throne. It's her right... entitlement! Although she is humble as heck. So her little story and quest continues. No theories here!
Breathing and Reading!
