Potential
Spoilers Below
I keep telling everyone that
similarities between The Wheel of Time (TWOT) and A Song of Ice and Fire
(ASOIAF) are vast even if there are those out there that say otherwise.
I
always thought that ASOIAF would have to address the Varymyr Sixskins prologue
chapter in A Dance with Dragons. He was
a powerful warg that tried to warg into a woman named Thistle as he was injured
and dying. His plan was to warg her and
live out the rest of his life within her.
He assumed that his warging abilities would perish with his body but he
would live. She fought back first by
screaming defiantly forcing him out and then by biting her tongue off and
spitting it out. He was never able to
warg her. I thought in the end the books
series would show Bran more powerful and he would warg the Night King
himself. Well what if the opposite occurred
and Bran was warged and taken over from the first time he was marked. Bloodraven told Bran the following:
Slipping into Summer’s skin had become as
easy for him as slipping on a pair of breeches once had been, before his back
was broken. Changing his own skin for a raven’s night-black feathers had been
harder, but not as hard as he had feared, not with these ravens. “A wild
stallion will buck and kick when a man tries to mount him, and try to bite the
hand that slips the bit between his teeth,” Lord Brynden said, “but a horse
that has known one rider will accept another. Young or old, these birds have
all been ridden. Choose one now, and fly.”
So,
I ask again could Bran have been warged by the Night King from that first
day. I don't even know if Bran knew what
was going on. Either that or he could do
nothing about it.
Was
Bran saddled and bridled from this moment on?
 |
| Was he no longer Bran from this moment? |
Was
this the reason that Meera told Bran "You died in that cave"? Before this Bran was worried about his family
but after he was marked he lost all interest, coincidence? Bran told us numerous times he wasn't Bran
Stark. Was that him trying to reach out
for help?
 |
| Bingo |
Was
it the Night King or Bran who gave Arya the dagger
Was
it the Night King and not Bran who actually came up with the plan that he
passed to Jon and crew in the war room?
A plan that hinges on the Night King taking the bait and that Jaime
points out "If that true, he'll never expose himself."
 |
| Can you say leash |
 |
| And that's exactly what he did. Wait. |
 |
| Why wouldn't they listen to Jaime? |
 |
| Yes because Bran has become his favorite dog |
The
Night King seems to have all the same abilities as Bran only he seems to be
better. He used Jon and crew as bait and
waited on Dany to arrive so that he could steal a dragon in order to pass through
the Wall
He
had to have seen Arya and Brienne sparring and Arya using her switch hands
move?
Remember
when Bran warged the ravens and flew from Winterfell to the Wall to beyond the
Wall to the Night King. I used to think
that this was Bran trying to spy on the Night King.
What
if it was something else entirely? What
if it was the Night King teaching his dog to come. He made Bran come all the way to him to test
his obedience and level of control.
Remember during the Battle for Winterfell? Well Bran went into his warg at 32:57 into
the show and didn't come out until 1:10:00 right when the Night King arrived to
supposedly kill him. Did the warg ensure
that Bran stayed put? Otherwise this
made no sense at all.
 |
| At 32:57 Bran just went away |
 |
| The Birds flew behind the Night King and weren't repelled. Why? |
 |
| Did he allow Bran to watch what he was doing |
 |
| At 1:10:00 he came back just in time to see the Night King make it to him |
 |
| Is this Night King for "Good Boy" |
Bottom
line I don't think any of it was coincidence.
I think everything went according to plan; the Night King's plan. How is it that the Night King seems to be 2
steps ahead of everyone falls into such an obvious trap? In the movie The Usual Suspects remember
Verbal's line: "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing
the world he did not exist." What
if the Night King Keyser Soze'd all of us?
He knew Jon was approaching him after Dany tried to burn him with dragon
fire; most likely through the eyes of the dead all around him. So how is it he missed a girl running across
the battlefield coming straight towards him.
I don't think he did. You let her
kill you and everyone see's exactly what they expect to see if the Night King
dies. In the meanwhile you remain
hidden, in your second life, right in plain sight, inside Bran Stark, much like Verbal.
If
this is true, I wouldn’t expect to see a hint of it until the last
episode. We will see Bran go into the
weirwoods and his eyes will turn blue with stars in them like that of the Night
King. To me that would mean the Night
King actually won. Game over man!
Below
is how this all ties back to the Wheel of Time
In
the Wheel of time this is called Compulsion.
It is the art of subjugating another person’s will through the use of
the One Power.
The
hero in the story was Rand al’Thor and he had just woken up after being injured
only to find something the reader didn’t expect:
He reached to his side and felt no wounds
there. No wounds. For the first time in a long while, there was no pain. He
almost didn’t know what to make of it.
Then he looked down and saw that the hand
prodding his side was his own left hand. He laughed, holding it up before him.
A mirror, he thought. I need a mirror.
He found one beyond the next partition of the
tent. Apparently, he’d been left completely alone. He held up the candle,
looking into the small mirror. Moridin’s
face looked back at him.
Rand touched his face, feeling it. In his
right eye hung a single saa, black, shaped like the dragon’s fang. It didn’t
move.
He basically warged Moridin;
his version of the Night King. This is why
I say we will know if this is true when we see Bran warg or his eyes start
looking like that of the Night King.
Comments encouraged. Love to hear the idea’s of
others. Most believe that since I present my idea’s as “fact like” I’m
not open to change my viewpoints which is far from the truth. I simply
look at the information presented and go from there. If you can shine a
light on another way of thinking that opens the door to debate.
God I hope you're right. However, looking at D&D storytelling, I think this is where the NK's backstory and motives die with him... so I guess the real villain of the show is a homicidal PMSing woman who really wanted those elephants..
ReplyDeleteJon Snow should have died along with everyone else at the Battle of Winterfell. So why did the Night King seemingly spare him when Jon tried to run upon him. I fear the ultimate goal of the Night King is Jon Snow himself. Everybody wants Jon Snow to sit the Iron Throne. Well what if he does? That would give this passage a whole new meaning if what I theorize is true:
ReplyDelete
The call came from behind him, softer than a whisper, but strong too. Can a shout be silent? He turned his head, searching for his brother, for a glimpse of a lean grey shape moving beneath the trees, but there was nothing, only . . .
A weirwood.
It seemed to sprout from solid rock, its pale roots twisting up from a myriad of fissures and hairline cracks. The tree was slender compared to other weirwoods he had seen, no more than a sapling, yet it was growing as he watched, its limbs thickening as they reached for the sky. Wary, he circled the smooth white trunk until he came to the face. Red eyes looked at him. Fierce eyes they were, yet glad to see him. The weirwood had his brother’s face. Had his brother always had three eyes?
Not always, came the silent shout. Not before the crow.
“He sniffed at the bark, smelled wolf and tree and boy, but behind that there were other scents, the rich brown smell of warm earth and the hard grey smell of stone and something else, something terrible. Death, he knew. He was smelling death. He cringed back, his hair bristling, and bared his fangs.”
“Don’t be afraid, I like it in the dark. No one can see you, but you can see them. But first you have to open your eyes. See? Like this. And the tree reached down and touched him.
If this is a plan for Jon Snow to open his third eye and he does that would make Jon Snow ripe for harvest. Bran would make some excuse to be alone with Jon and the Night King would simply warg and take over Jon Snow. The final scene would be Jon returning from his visit with Bran. He would then sit upon some throne because I don't know if they will want the symbol of the Iron Throne to remain. As Jon looks out upon the room his eyes roll back and instead of being the white as with Bran's warg is his eyes turn blue and they have stars within them. This will let the viewing audience know that the Night King has won and it is he who truly won the Game of Thrones.
Beyond far fetched. Bran is a crippled boy, Night King is immortal. If he could see that he was going to be killed, then he wouldn't have let himself be killed. I could probably point out weaknesses in all the "what ifs" in the theory but there's no evidence that the Night King can see the future at all and he for sure can't see it better than the previous Three Eyed Raven.
ReplyDelete"If" that crazy theory were true then The Three Eyed Raven would've seen it, he saw his own death, he knew Bran could defeat The Night King, etc.
The Night King sacking his entire army, the other white walkers and a dragon in order to "control" one crippled boy? That's the dumbest "trick" to try and win the "Great War" ever.
