BRAN

Bran had accompanied his father and two sisters to the Capital. Bran is to be Squire to Ser Barristan Selmy; his first steps towards becoming a Knight and a member of the King's Guard. Though after traveling with Prince Joffrey Baratheon, Bran is seriously considering not joining the King's Guard. Joffrey is arrogant and thinks too much of himself. Bran also found him to be boastful of his skills. His brother Robb had bested him on several occasions at Winterfell while in the training yard. Even Bran was better than the Prince. Then there was the incident with his sister Arya and the Prince. As Bran walks up on the scene he watched as Prince Joffrey swings his sword at Arya, then later he is on the ground begging his sister not to kill him.

"What did you see?" The King asked Bran when the matter was bought before him.

Apparently Arya had been playing Knights with the butcher's boy. Sansa and Joffrey came upon them and Joffrey proceeded to attack Mycah, Arya came to his defense and as Joffrey threatened Arya her Dire Wolf Nymeria came to her defense and bit Joffrey. "When I arrived the Prince was swinging his sword at my sister...He called her a..." Bran looks at his father and he nods, "...He called her a cunt and threatened to kill her."

"Liar! He's lying!"

"That is when Nymeria came to my sisters defense...She bit the Prince and he fell...My sister pulled Nymeria off him. Then she picks up his sword and points in his face..."

"That is when he started whining like a baby and begging me not to hurt him..." Arya says interrupting.

Bran smirks, "Then she threw his sword into the River..."

"The boy and his sister obviously got together and made all this up..."

"I want to be a Knight one day Your Grace...A Knight does not lie..." Bran boldly replies.

It was after Snow died that Bran starts dreaming of a three eyed Raven. He also

"He also knows when to hold his tongue..." Cersei coldly replies.

"Enough!" Robert barks, "Children play...Ned you deal with yours and I will deal with mine..."

That should have been the end of the matter, but the Queen wanted blood for her son and demands one of the other wolves to take Nymeria's place. So Ned offers up his Dire Wolf Snow and commands one of his men to return Lady and Summer home to Winterfell. It was after Snow died that Bran starts dreaming of a three eyed Raven. He also has dreams of being a Wolf. The rest of the trip to the capital is uneventful; both Sansa and Arya blame the other for what happened to Snow and Nymeria.

"I don't see how she can love him. They just met." Arya says to Bran from the seat beside the wagon driver.

"People fall in live at first sight all the time..." Bran replies.

"Yeah, but with him. You saw the way he was at the river."

They laugh and Bran looks at Sansa from his horse. She is in the back of the wagon with Septa Modane having her own whispered conversation. After a month of travel they finally make it to the Capital. After getting settled in Bran starts his duties as a squire to the Lord Commander to the King's Guard. Everyday he helps Ser Barristan get into his armor, when he isn't wearing his armor Bran must polish it, and keep his sword razor sharp. On his off days Bran trains with the Lord Commander. Of the King's Guard he likes Ser Jaime Lannister and Ser Hightower.

On one of his off days Bran follows Arya and meets her dancing instructor Syrio Ferrel. At first he watched from the shadows then he makes his presence known and asks to train with Arya. When Bran isn't training he is climbing as the Red Keep has more places to climb than Winterfell. In his dreams he sees the three eyed Raven more often and now there is boy in his dreams.

One day Bran is climbing the Dragon's tower. It is the highest tower in the Red Keep. A few times he almost falls, but Bran never falls. He enters through a window and goes down the steps. As he is walking through the main foyer a sound catches his attention. Curios Bran goes to the sound and gasps as he finds Ser Jaime with his sister the Queen. They are as man and wife. He watches for a few seconds then he sneaks away and runs when he is far enough away not to be heard.

"You think I should tell father?" Bran asks.

"No!" She replies, "A secret like that may get him killed...Perhaps that is what got Jon Arryn killed..."

"What do you mean?"

Arya tells Bran how she was in the catacombs and found the Dragon Skulls. She heard two men talking about Jon Arryn and their father. The day of the Tourney finally arrives. Bran is blown away the parade of Knights with their sigils. Some for great and minor houses, others are personal sigils of the Knights. "That will be me one day..." Bran says to his father.

"I look forward to seeing that son..."
