Chapter Thirty-Five - Bran 5 - A Clash of Kings | A Song of Ice and Fire (ASOIAF)

Send us Fan MailBran and the Reeds exchange dreams after Bran accepts that Jojen really can dream of the future. None of the dreams portend good news for Bran and Winterfell. Meanwhile, the fracas between the Boltons and the Manderlys worsens and Lady Hornwood is killed. Mackelly and Simon discuss whether fate is immutable. Chapter Review: Maester Luwin has news of the King in the North’s victory at Oxcross, but the Frey’s uncle's demise. Brandon Stark should be happy, but Osha’s warning that Robb is marching south when he should be marching north continues to unsettle him. The Walders seem far more comfortable with the bad news they received, bickering playfully over the complexities of the Frey succession. It dawns on Bran that this very much fulfills Jojen Reed’s dream that the Frey’s would be fed worse meat but seem to enjoy it more. Later, Jojen tells Bran that he is a warg. Someone able to enter the mind of an animal and control it. His dreams of Summer aren’t dreams at all. Jojen reveals his other “green-dream” - the ones that he reckons are pure prophecy. The sea will come to Winterfell and drown the people within. He had the dream before he arrived but now he’s able to name some of the people he saw drowned. Bran tries to warn these people but most aren’t concerned, and the one who does listen (Alebelly) simply stops bathing. Ser Rodrik arrives back from the Hornwood lands. Quite the mess. Roose Bolton’s bastard has coerced Lady Hornwood to marry him and name him as her heir. He’s abused and murdered her. Ser Rodrik has killed the bastard, and captured his malodorous sidekick Reek who he intends to keep around to testify when Robb returns. In the meantime, houses Manderly and Bolton are fighting in the Hornwood lands and Rodrik doesn’t have the men to put a stop to it.
