Brienne for Queen Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Worse possible scenario - having to kill the one you love most. Or learning tha the one you love most has a "contract" on him/her, and having to stop it. And who would THAT be, I wonder....? What would she do if it was Jon Snow to die? Her beloved half brother, who ruffled her hair, and spent time with her, and gave her Needle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be saved for near the end of final book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her beloved half brother, who ruffled her hair, and spent time with her, and gave her Needle? Absolutely... that's a great fear I have for Arya, and possibly one that the FM would use to test her. But it could possibly be used to position her where she needs to be, knowing she will defy them? We don't know enough about the FM's motives... if the HoBaW has an agenda or not.

Her beloved half brother, who ruffled her hair, and spent time with her, and gave her Needle? Going off topic a bit here, but that made me think of something. If Arya has a special, named sword...and let's say she kills a Lannister Lion at some point...and then has to kill "The one she loves the most"... I mean, I don't really buy where I'm going, but Arya's "hit list" could set her up to fufill a certian prophecy. However, still wouldn't be nearly as compelling to me as many of the other thoughts brough up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow that hurts even more. Either way, THAT would be a brutal story arc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And unfortunately it makes sense to the prophecies, and possibly to the motives of the HoBaW. :( Two people still on her original list are heading to the Wall after Maidenpool.

grand old duke of stark Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 So you think it's possible they may test her with a family member? Or possibly... someone like Gendry? It's just my theory, but yes. It wouldn't be much of a test if it were someone on her kill list or a family enemy--it's bound to be someone she likes or loves. I do like your mention of Gendry, because she certainly likes him. If at some point Stannis and Shireen and Edric Storm die--some enterprising would-be king would want Gendry eliminated. So it's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this, and I fear it... which is probably why Arya will be tested exactly this way. The plus is that she may decide not to do it when push comes to shove. But it will put her where the action is, and in the proximity of lots of other people we all hope she meets up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noSer Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 She may get put to a Jamie style impossible choice eventually but I really think the first kill she makes on the revenge spree will be that Frey in bravos. He's about as innocent as a Frey gets and killing him will mean she intends to kill every damn one no matter what their role in the RW. She says as much to herself when riding away with the hound after her Catelyn wolf dream. I want to see as many Arya Frey moments as possible.

Gneisenau Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Did Arya really never once list Tywin ? even after she realized she should have used one of her "free kills" on him ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
