Chapter Review:
Arya Stark, Gendry, and the Brotherhood Without Banners, have made their way back to High Heart. While there, they meet with the Ghost of High Heart. She tells them of her dreams. Some seem clearer than others. One thing she makes clear is that if the Brotherhood wants to reunite Arya with her mother, Riverrun isn’t the place to go. Catelyn and King Robb have left for a wedding at the Twins.
The next day, Beric Dondarion’s young squire Ned tells Arya of his connection to her bastard brother Jon Snow. He says they are milk brothers, as his wet nurse Wylla was Jon’s mother. It turns out Ned is actually Edric Dayne, lord of Starfall. He explains how his aunt Ashara and Arya’s father Ned were once in love long ago, and how Ashara killed herself over a broken heart. Arya doesn’t want to hear about it and rides off.
That evening, Thoros of Myr sees a vision in the flames of Riverrun under siege by a Lannister army. This news causes lord Beric to pause their progress toward Riverrun until more information can be gathered. An upset Arya runs off. However, she’s wet and cold and turns back, only to be intercepted by the Hound.
