Bran and company are north of the Wall. Things are bleak but Coldhands protects them from those who would do them harm, and brings back some meat to roast. Simon and Jenny throw up in the back of their throats.
Chapter Review:
Bran Stark rides on Hodor’s shoulders, Meera and an increasingly frail Jojen ride on Coldhands elk. Coldhands keeps his face obscured, but there’s no hiding the coldness of the hands, nor the fact that his breath doesn’t frost before him like the others. As Summer, Bran also notices that their guide smells dead. The former brother of the Night’s Watch has ravens who report that they’re being followed.
He leaves the party to deal with the pursuit while the remainder seek an abandoned village in which to rest. Bran wargs into Summer and finds wolves fighting over dead humans. This is Varmyr’s little pack, who quickly bend the knee to Summer and allow him the lion’s share of the meat. Bran comes back into himself.
Coldhands has dealt with the danger, and has slaughtered a pig for them to eat. As they eat they ask the man questions. He explains his appearance is to do with him being dead. He also explains that they seek the Three-Eyed Crow: “A friend, dreamer, wizard. The last Greenseer.”
