Pinks Mag 003

There follows lots of top level hacking, slashing and rucking
in the muck. Just as the tide appears to have turned in
favour of Ramsay, however, in rushes Petyr Baelish and the
Knights of the Vale who carry the day.
Hurrah! Or, as Ramsay might put it, "aargh!" as he is fed to
his own dogs by a very vengeful Sansa (it's sadistic and
disgusting but still... yay for Sansa).
In Essos, Arya regains her sight and recommences her
training at the House of Black and White. However, the
going remains bumpy as she clashes with her nemesis the
Waif after refusing to assassinate a kindly actress. Upon
overcoming her implacable foe, Arya is shown the door by
Jaqen ? who intimates her training may be complete and
that she is indeed ?no one?. We next see her, in
shape-shifting form, cutting the throat of Red Wedding
planner Walder Frey.
In a mystical cave, Bran studies with the "Three-Eyed Raven"
? in reality a wizened human psychically connected to a tree
(Max Von Sydow), and experiences time-traveling visions.
We discover how Hodor became Hodor ? a complicated
temporal loop ? and learn the truth of Jon Snow's true
parentage. He is the child of Ned's tragic sister Lyanna. The
identity of his father is not revealed. However GoT fans are
confident it is Daenerys's slain brother Rhaegar Targaryen,
who fell in love with Lyanna and absconded with her.
Unfortunately, Bran's training is interrupted by the Night
King who kills the Three-Eyed Raven and sends the Stark
boy and companion Meera fleeing. Hodor - who indeed
"holds the door" against the zombies ? sacrifices himself so
that they may escape.
An unpleasant fate similarly beckons for Cersei. She has
sent Jamie off to the Riverlands to put manners on old Stark
ally ?Blackfish? Tully. Alone except for the resurrected
Mountain and her loyal mad scientist Qyburn, what's an
incestuous Queen Mother to do?
The answer, Cersei concludes, is to blow up the Great Sept
with some of that leftover wildfire, thus eliminating every
rival power player - including Margaery, the High Sparrow
and her uncle Kevan (appalled, Tommen jumps from a
window). With the Iron Crown upon her head, does the
Game of Thrones at last have a winner?
