Reviews

Marina Ka-Fai: Yes indeed :)
Boris Yeltsin: Thanks.
raw666: Well, that's where his story ends as that's how it was always planned, Dany doesn't have any chapters left either so yeah, moot point, anyway onto the important matters that still remain, like stopping Corypheus.
Wolfgirl2013: Thanks :)

Now onto the story.

Bran

Bran wasn't sure what to say or do; he had been overjoyed at first as he heard of people returning. But then he found out that it wasn't their army, and of his family, only Arya and Gendry had arrived, along with Solas. It was then he heard they had won the battle but that the three of them had hurried back to see him specifically.

"What is going on?"

It was Solas who explained. "Corypheus escaped the battle, although we defeated his armies in all three battlefields. But he is liable to make one last desperate gamble. We must stop him, Arya, Gendry and I, plus one other who I believe will join us there."

Bran nodded. "Alright, I, I understand that, but why are you looking for me?"

"Yes, a good question Bran, why do we need Bran Solas?" Arya chimed in, raising an eyebrow.

Solas bowed his head. "I am sorry Bran, I know you've just become a father, that you have so much to be dealing with. But without you, we won't be able to defeat Corypheus once and for all...You are the key to doing so; your warg powers are the key."

Bran gasped, suddenly realizing. "All that training, and the studying of Elvish lore...You were training me for this all along."

"Yes." Solas admitted. "I know it's not fair, especially now...but without you, we won't be able to revive the Guardian of Mythal."

"Wait, revive it?" Arya gasped.

"Is that even possible?" Gendry queried.

Solas nodded slowly.

He then explained.

"There is still one vital piece missing, but we can acquire that on our way to the Temple Ruins. But Bran, once we have all we need, you need to warg into the Guardian of Mythal, with the right power, you will revive it and then, it will take us to where Corypheus is. I am also certain it is the only creature powerful enough to defeat Corypheus' dragon."

Silence followed his revelation as they took this all in.

"This is...Solas I'm sorry, this is madness." Bran said at last. "How can I…?"

Solas shook his head. "You're the only one who can Bran."

He shook his head, this was crazy; he had a family to think of, he had new responsibilities now. His father, Robb and their army were going to return soon, he needed to be there to greet them when they arrived.

"Bran."

He started and turned, standing there, their son cradled in her arms, was Meera.

"Meera..." He began.

She just smiled. "It's alright; they're right. I can take care of our children, this is important, trust me, I believe Solas."

Bran bit his lip. "But Meera, are you sure..."

"Yes please, this is our last chance, if we don't stop Corypheus, our children won't have a future. If you need any sort of incentive...do it for them."

Bran sighed but then finally agreed and soon they were prepared and riding out from Winterfell, making their way to the Temple of Mythal.

As they rode, Bran couldn't help but worry.

'Was Meera right, is this really the right thing to...' He wondered. 'I; I do need to do this, I it'll stop Corypheus for good, if it will finally help make things safe again...'

He could only hope, It was the only thing keeping him going just now. He was mostly startled by the revelations that Solas had in fact been preparing him for the this whole time he had been teaching him about Elvish lore and the other lessons.

It was then Solas spoke. "Bran, we don't have much time...There is someone who can give you what you need to awaken the Guardian...In order to find this person however, you must use your warg powers. There is a creature that she is expecting to approach her soon, you must warg into it's mind...They will know it's you."

"But, how am I supposed to…?" He began.

"I will help you."

So, with reassurance, Bran took a deep breath and prepared himself to begin. As he did so, he could feel Solas' magic and, next thing he knew was blackness, as his mind transferred itself to whatever was awaiting him.

He noticed that while the area he was in seemed strange and warped, he felt comfortable, as if he had been in this form, whatever it was, before. It did not take him long to find the person he had to be looking for, there was nobody else around after all. The figure he noted was an old woman, clad in red and black armour with long white hair, part of her hair forming stylized horns. Her yellow eyes immediately locked on to him and grinned.

"Ah, there you are...so, it is time at last." She remarked. "How fitting, it would seem dear Solas has a sense of humour after all...Sending young Brandon Stark to me in the guise of a wolf."

That made sense to Bran, he was a wolf. The woman shook her head.

"The name is Flemeth, in case you were wondering." She remarked. "Now, the time is at hand, without your power and the Guardian of Mythal, Corypheus cannot be stopped and all will fall to darkness."

As she spoke she raised an arm which began to glow with magical energy.

Nodding Flemeth then explained. "I now bestow you with the necessary power to awaken the Guardian and unlock it's true strength, you know what must be done."

Bran did know, he didn't know how, it just felt instinctual. Still he nodded and the energy in Flemeth's palm flared and he felt it, the sudden surge of power. The last thing he heard before blacking out again was Flemeth's voice.

"Tell our mutual friend...I am ready, whenever he is."

Then the darkness was complete.

When he finally recovered he was amazed to find they had already made it to the ruins of the Temple of Mythal, in fact, they were right by the Well of Sorrows, where the Guardian's body still lay.

"Bran!" Arya greeted him enthusiastically when she saw he was returned to them. "Welcome back."

He nodded, smiling. "Arya."

Solas turned to him. "So; a triumphant return?"

Nodding again Bran managed a small smile. "Yes, I...I met Flemeth and she, gave me what I need...She also, wanted me to tell you."

"I know what she wanted to say." Solas remarked softly. "Now, we must hurry."

Bran nodded and turned his attention to the Guardian, he focused harder than ever before, utilizing both the new power within him and his warg powers, until suddenly he found himself warging within the Dragon's mind, it was an almost overwhelming experience and he couldn't keep it up indefinitely.

When he returned to his own mind however, he found that not only was Guardian awake again, and seemed to be glaring at them, but he was still, to an extent, connected to it mentally. He quickly tried to convey their intentions, utilizing the power he had been given. Finally the Guardian bowed it's head, and then lowered itself down.

"We can ride her now, but to where?"

Solas answered. "To where Corypheus is currently, over there."

Looking Bran could see in the distance, a large glow of magic. Quickly conveying this to the Guardian Bran watched as Arya and Gendry climbed up first Gendry and Solas helping Bran up before Solas then climbed up. Once they were all mounted upon the Guardian, it followed Bran's instructions and took off, flying through the air.

Bran felt an almost exhilarating rush at that moment. If things weren't so vital, he would have marvelled at the feeling for a long time. As it was, he did his utmost to focus as they flew towards the magical glow on the horizon, seeking to stop Corypheus once and for all.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
