THE SAME STORY (3)

Bran Stark’s prophetic visions

It’s been said that both books and show are different stories, but there are some major common stories including the endgame. What I propose here is an analysis of what is common between all the prophetic segments, that they all tell the same story. In specific (there are more), I have analysed the following

A CLASH OF KINGS #47 - Danerys # 4: Danerys visits the House of the Undying and sees some visions that foreshadow her future.

SPINOFF #2: Melisandre’s visions.

S02E10 - Valar Morghulis: Danerys visits the House of the Undying and sees some visions that foreshadow her future.

SPINOFF #1: Arya Stark will kill Danerys with Bran’s help.

S04E02 - The Lion and the Rose and S06E06 - Blood of my Blood: Bran Stark’s prophetic visions.

In this fourth post, I’ll analyse Bran’s prophetic visions and how they tell the same story (from his POV).

In S04E02 - The Lion and the Rose and S06E06 - Blood of My Blood, Bran Stark has two clusters of prophetic visions. In each of them, about 2/3 of the content are repurposed clips and 1/3 are new content. These are meant to be both allegorical and prophetic because they contain events that haven’t happened yet. They can be divided into blocks according to thematic and with the help of audio-visual cues.

S0402 - The Lion and the Rose

The first prophetic vision is divided thanks to [1] clips featuring the Weirwood Heart Tree with the sun behind them going from dawn to dusk, which is an allegory for “time travelling” through the Weirwood Network and [2] a black fade-out and a white flash-in, followed by a drum-like sound effect. In broad strokes, the resulting subsets represent what Bran is going to be looking at each season from that point forth. I’ve analysed this one in detail in another post a long time ago (can be found here), so I’ll only post the conclusions.

First “Line”:

The sun is slight to the left of the Weirwood, representing the recent past to the present. It’s followed by tree roots and the Three-Eyed Raven, representing the Three-Eyed Raven and his ability to "time travel” through the Weirwood Network. The drum-like sound effect separates that from a segment featuring Eddard Stark sharpening ice and watching fire flare while a captive in King’s Landing, representing Ned’s story during Robert’s Rebellion where he fought against the Targaryans for the sake of his sister Lyanna Stark (sharpening ice), witnessed the birth of Jon Snow (fire reflected in his eyes), and promised his sister that he’d protect him (captivity).

Second “Line”: The sun going all the way to the extreme left of the Weirwood, representing the distant past. It’s followed by the Three-Eyed Raven prancing on a tree, then four clips relating to the Army of the Dead. The first and last are from when Sam slew the White Walker who had come to take Little Sam so he could be taken and transformed into another White Walker, what they flank is the first appearance of a wight, therefore this represents the creation of the Night King and the White Walkers and the Army of the Dead.

Third “Line”: The sun going back to slight to the left of the Weirwood and the centre, representing the recent past to the present, then at the very end going to the extreme right, representing the future. It’s followed by the Army of the Dead’s invasion and a metaphorical representation of Jon Snow being the rightful heir to the Iron Throne. The drum-like sound effect separates that from a segment with prophetic visions, the Night King seen through a wall of ice and a dragon flying over King’s Landing, interspersed with clips of a raven and Bran falling of the Broken Tower of Winterfell, which represent the future fight against both the forces of ice (Night King and the Army of the Dead) and fire (Danerys and the dragons).

The frozen wasteland with the sun hanging low on the horizon, representing the Long Night or the weirwood roots in the third line, representing going into the past, don’t really matter where they belong exactly since both clips could fit into either previous or following line equally. The Long Night is relevant to both the first Long Night when the Night King and the Army of the Dead were created (the story told in the second “line”) and the second Long Night since Jon’s parentage is going to be relevant (the story told in the ”first line”). Likewise, the weirwood roots which represent “time travelling” as the Three-Eyed Raven is relevant to both Bran checking out the Night King and the Army of the Dead were created (the story told in the second “line”) and Bran checking out the Army of the Dead’s invasion and Jon Snow being the rightful heir to the Iron Throne (the story told in the third “line”).

S06E06 - Blood of My Blood

The second prophetic vision is divided thanks to [1] the transitions between Bran tripping out and the present as well as [2] the thematic which can be divided into either fire or ice. In broad strokes, the resulting three subsets represent the war against both ice (Night King and the Army of the Dead) and fire (Danerys and the dragons).

This is allusive to this franchise’s title, A Song of Ice and Fire, a poem by Robert Frost that characterises both fire and ice as equally destructive forces that threaten humanity. Therefore, #1 represents these destructive forces of ice and fire as equals, #2 represents the conflict against fire and #3 represents the conflict against ice. In specific, #3 is the most difficult to get since it contains a “fire” segment and the “ice” segment interwoven with the present. I’ll justify why I divided them this way later.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BRAN STARK

Something that is in common with both prophetic visions is the clips featuring Bran falling off the Burned Tower of Winterfell, the raven prancing around, the weirwood tree roots, and the frozen wasteland with the sun hanging low.

THE LONG NIGHT

[A] The frozen wasteland, with really busy clouds in the sky and the sunrise with the sun hanging really, matches what the sun’s trajectory looks closer to the northern or southern pole during winter. It’s a bizarre notion for the majority of people since they live far away from it, but that’s exactly how it goes. This is meant as an allegory for the Long Night, since extreme winter has come. So every time this shows up, it represents the Long Night.

This clip was used in Bran’s first cluster vision in S04E02 - The Lion and the Rose, where it (as explained above) accordingly followed a segment that represented Ned’s role in Robert’s Rebellion (Jon Snow is the rightful heir to the Iron Throne) which will be relevant in the second Long Night and preceded a segment that represented the creation of the Army of the Dead which was relevant in the first Long Night (and will be relevant in the second one as well).

THE THREE-EYED RAVEN

[B1] The Burned Tower of Winterfell, especially Bran falling off the Burned Tower of Winterfell is a narrative synonym to Bran as the Three-Eyed Raven. So every time this shows up, it represents Bran as the Three-Eyed Raven. [B2] The weirwood roots represent Bran as a greenseer in specific, the ability to go inside the trees and see into the past and present. [B3] The raven represents Bran as a warg in specific, the ability to inside animals and control their actions.

All three clips were used in Bran’s first cluster vision in S04E02 - The Lion and the Rose, where it (as explained above) accordingly. [B2] The weirwood roots that represent Bran going into the Weirwood Network followed the segment that represented the creation of the Army of the Dead and preceded the segment that represents the future conflict against both ice (Night King + Army of the Dead) and fire (Danerys and the dragons). [B3] The raven that represents Bran as a warg attacking follows the Night King seen through an ice wall and a double [B1] Bran falling off the Broken Tower that represents Bran as the Three-Eyed Raven flanking a dragon flying over King’s Landing, which highly suggests his warging abilities will be relevant to dealing with both these threats (YOU WILL NEVER WALK BUT YOU WILL FLY).

CONCLUSION: What these all represent is that Bran will a key piece in both the war against the destructive forces if ice represented by the Night King and the Army of the Dead (confirmed in 8x3), and against the destructive forces of fire represented by Danerys’ obsession with the Iron Throne.

#1 - ICE AND FIRE ARE EQUALLY DESTRUCTIVE

[C] THE DESTRUCTIVE FORCES OF FIRE AND ICE

The first repetition of images is Drogon flying over the Valyria ruins in S05E05 - Kill the Boy, followed by a dragon flying over King’s Landing (a future event), then Aerys Targaryan ordering the pyromancers to burn the city with wildfire (a past event). It’s repeated afterwards but both times it follows the NIght King shrugging up to raise the dead and undead!Karsi in S05E08 - Hardhome. Together, these represent both fire and ice as equally destructive, the former is about the dragons and (wild)fire being used to destroy everything and the latter is about the Night King and “ice” raising the dead to destroy everything.

The second repetition of images is Drogon flying over the Valyria ruins in S05E05 - Kill the Boy, followed by a dragon flying over King’s Landing (a future event), then Danerys hatching the dragons with blood.magic in S01E10 - Fire and Blood. This one too is repeated afterwards and both times it follows the Night King creating White Walkers with blood.magic in S04E04 - Oathkeeper. Together, these represent both fire and ice as equally immoral since they’re both done with the sacrifice of innocent lives to create an elemental fire/ice creature with blood.magic.

[C1] DANERYS + DRAGONS = NIGHT KING + WHITE WALKERS

The parallels in blood-magic between Danerys and the Night King are vast, since they’re both sacrificing human babies (Danerys accidentally sacrificed her unborn child Rhaego because she was obsessed with the Iron Throne, the Night King used Craster’s babies) with blood-magic and the rituals where they create the elemental fire/ice creature are visually the same. This fits with the R’hllor and Great Other religion duality, on one side there’s R’hllor and Azor Ahai (which is Danerys, since she fits all the requirements) and on the other side there’s the Great Other.

This parallel had already been alluded to in Bran’s first cluster vision in S04E02 - The Lion and the Rose, where it features in the “future” segment. They are the only two clips which have never happened in the series beforehand, the first with the Night King seen through an ice wall and the second with a dragon flying over King’s Landing, which is again repeated right here in Bran’s second cluster vision. They are future events that represent the extent of ice and fire as destructive forces: the Night King seen through a wall of ice and a dragon over King’s Landing.

CONCLUSION: What these all represent is that both the Night King and the Army of the Dead as well as Danerys and the dragons are equal threats to humanity.

[C2] AERYS TARGARYAN = DANERYS TARGARYAN

There is a second parallel between Danerys and her father, Aerys Targaryan. They are both preceded by [1] Drogon flying over the Valyrian ruins and [2] a dragon flying over King’s Landing. This is repeated SIX TIMES through the whole vision, with Aerys two times and Danerys two times, then the latter is repeated twice in #2 the “fire” segment of the story. The dragon over King’s Landing is supposed to be Drogon, because 6/6 the dragon that precedes it is always Drogon and 4/6 is followed by Danerys with Drogon over her shoulder.

Moreover, Aerys screaming “burn them all” meant burning King’s Landing with wildfire is the clip that is “replaced” with Danerys and Drogon, which means Danerys is burning King’s Landing just like her father wanted. I’m not sure if that missing dragon over KIng’s Landing is an encoding error or on purpose, but if it’s on purpose than it symbolises that Aerys didn’t manage to burn it but that Danerys will definitely burn it. Furthermore, Danerys with Drogon over her shoulder has the dothraki kneeling in the background, which suggests that her reasons for burning King’s Landing is to force the Seven Kingdoms to kneel too and recognise her as their queen.

There is plenty of foreshadowing that Danerys will burn King’s Landing, which I enclose two major examples. In the show, this is represented Danerys seeing King’s Landing destroyed at the House of Undying in S02E10 - Valar Morghulis (it’s worth noting that in specific, this one made it to Bran’s first prophetic vision as well) In the books, this is represented by Danerys seeing Aerys ordering his pyromancers to burn the city and Rhaego burning a city riddle (symbolising Danerys as the Stallion that Mounts the World, since Danerys + Drogon = Rhaego, will destroy King’s Landing with the dothraki).

It’s worth mentioning that in the books, Aerys orders the pyromancers to burn the city (”burn them all”) is answered by Drogon screeching while standing on Danerys’ shoulder and this is precisely the imagery that is paralleled in the show, Aerys screaming “burn them all” which is replaced by Danerys with Drogon screeching while standing over her shoulder, which follows the clip of a dragon flying over King’s Landing.

CONCLUSION: What this represents is that Danerys will do what her father dearest couldn’t and burn King’s Landing, in hopes of forcing the Seven Kingdoms to kneel and declare her queen.

[D] THE STARKS

The fantastical scenario of both Bran as the Three-Eyed Raven and the destructive forces of ice and fire, also come along with two mundane events that involve the Starks. Somehow, the Song of Ice and Fire should involve the Starks in a more mundane fashion, of betrayals and the like.

[D1] THE RED WEDDING

The first of these is the Red Wedding, which is an event that keeps coming up in prophetic visions. In the show, the scene where Danerys enters the House of Undying in S02E10 - Valar Morghulis, is preceded by Robb marrying Talisa which is what triggered the Red Wedding, furthermore the scenes of Danerys’ invasion of Yunkai in S03E09 - The Rains of Castamere, are interwoven with the Red Wedding proper. In the books, Danerys sees the Red Wedding in one of the House of Undying visions as well.

This recurrence of the Red Wedding in prophetic visions suggests that some thing similar will happen in the future. In it’s essence, the Red Wedding is about person A breaking oaths for love to person B, then that person B seeking excessive retribution since they’re dangerous and vindictive, person B murdering person A and all their retinue by breaking guest-right, and person B usurping person A of their lands and titles.

In the books, there is the foreshadowing of what this might mean since one of the fake people that Danerys finds invites her to share food, which means guest-right. In broad-strokes, Danerys enters a room through a double-door which resembles the House of Black and White which is an assassin guild who disguise themselves as other people to carry out their assassination attempts. This foreshadows that whoever Danerys finds inside represents real people whose intentions will be concealed but whose objective are the dragons, and that they will be responsible for her demise.

In two posts back, I’ve exhaustively analysed what House of Undying chapter in the books might mean. In specific, I theorised that the kingly man represents Jon Snow inviting Danerys to Winterfell (sharing food = guest-right) to fight the Army of the Dead, since he fits all the requirements (the others are the other Starks and Theon Greyjoy) and that Danerys is “Walder Frey” because she’s a dangerous and vindictive person just like him. Moreover, I’ve also theorised that a further vision represents Danerys outing herself as Azor Ahai and proving herself not the hero that people should cheer for, by burning Winterfell. Since Danerys would be under guest-right, burning Winterfell would break it.

This analysis fits with the way Bran’s second vision is structured. The clip of the Red Wedding follows the Long Night clip, which suggests this Red Wedding V2 will happen ETA: during after the Long Night, and Jon convinced Danerys to march North so she’d fight the Army of the Dead. The clip is followed by the negative association between Danerys and the Night King, which suggests that she’s the fire counterpart to the Army of the Dead (aka Azor Ahai and R’hllor versus Great Other), and burning Winterfell or King’s Landing would be that.

As a side-note, it’s Catelyn Tully that is being assassinated, which suggests a major character associated with Cat would die as a result (it’s “die” lol, don’t fret). There are some good theories that Sansa Stark, which the show loves to visually make as Cat v2, will be kidnapped from Winterfell before it burns and yet be mistaken for dead for some time in the aftermath. In the show, there’s a surprising number of foreshadowing for this, I’ve read several metas that talk about it. In the books, there’s foreshadowing for this as well:

AGOT #50 Arya #4: Suddenly Arya remembered the crypts at Winterfell. They were a lot scarier than this place, she told herself. She’d been just a little girl the first time she saw them. Her brother Robb had taken them down, her and Sansa and baby Bran, who’d been no bigger than Rickon was now. (...) “There are worse things than spiders and rats,” he whispered. “This is where the dead walk.” That was when they heard the sound, low and deep and shivery. Baby Bran had clutched at Arya’s hand. When the spirit stepped out of the open tomb, pale white and moaning for blood, Sansa ran shrieking for the stairs, and Bran wrapped himself around Robb’s leg, sobbing. Arya stood her ground and gave the spirit a punch. It was only Jon, covered with flour.

What this scene represents is that Danerys will break guest-right and burn Winterfell, outing herself and the dragons as a destructive force equal to the Night King and the Army of the Dead.

[D2] EDDARD STARK’S EXECUTION

The second of these is Eddard Stark’s execution, which is an event that was alluded to in Bran’s first prophetic vision. The first clip is Ned sharpening Ice, with which he’d end up beheaded with. The second clip is Ned as a prisoner in the dungeons of the Red Keep. Then it’s “followed” in Bran’s second prophetic vision by a third clip where Ned is executed.

However, that segment of Bran’s first prophetic vision was meant to represent Bran as the Tree-Eyed Raven checking out his family’s past. It was (greatly) preceded by the Weirwood Heart Tree above the Three-Eyed Raven cave, with the sun having travelled from the centre of the image to slightly right, which is an allegory for going slightly back in time. It was followed by the raven going down the Winterfell crypts, which is an allegory for looking into the past of his dead family (Ned and Lyanna both)

The first clip represents war and corresponds to Bran’s flashback in S06E02 - Home, where Ned is sparring with Benjen (training for battle) with Lyanna showing up and Bran’s first Tower of Joy flashback in S06E03 - Oathbreaker, where Ned fights against the Kingsguard with the objective of rescuing his sister. The second clip represents Ned witnessing Jon’s “birth”, with the fire bursting into life in the background and reflected in his eyes along with his promise to Lyanna which has held him “captive” for half of his life, which corresponds to Bran’s flashback in S06E10 - The Winds of Winter.

This (show-only) “recurrence” of Ned’s execution suggests that something similar will happen in the future. In it’s essence, Ned’s execution is about person A fake confessing to attempt usurping the Iron Throne for themselves and declaring person B is the rightful heir when they are not in hopes of saving loved ones, but then person B being vindictive and executing them anyway, despite getting what they wanted.

In both cases, Ned represents Jon Snow as the rightful heir to the Iron Throne. In Bran’s first prophetic vision, it’s about the secret of his real parentage, which Ned witnessed and took to the chopping block, and that Bran saw through the Weirwood Network. In Bran’s second prophetic vision, it’s about Jon being the rightful heir to the Iron Throne, since Joffrey Baratheon isn’t that and that boy is even a foil for him (Joffrey is the bastard posing as a prince while Jon is the prince posing as a bastard). Then Joffrey, someone who isn’t the rightful heir to the Iron Throne but pretends that he is, moreover who’s vindictive, represents Danerys because this exactly what is going to happen once she finds out.

This one is more “familiar” in prophetic visions, it represents the Dance of Dragons v2. In the show, it shows up in the House of Undying visions as a grill on the floor, foreshadowing it since this framing was used for Joffrey (!) when he was talking about the Dance of Dragons v1, and the blasted King’s Landing throne room which is covered in snow, foreshadowing since it comes right after Danerys is informed that Jon is the rightful heir to the Iron Throne because of the blue flower on the wall and the Iron Throne covered in snow. In the books, it shows up in the House of Undying as well, in the vision where Rhaegar pretty much says he had another child (”there must be one more” since “the dragon has three heads”) and Danerys mistakes him for Viserys, whom she usurped.

What this scene represents is that Jon and Danerys will fight in the Dance of Dragons v2 over the Iron Throne, perhaps even despite Jon has abdicated in her favour in hopes of saving his beloved sisters and because Danerys is dangerous and vindictive.

#2 - THE DESTRUCTIVE FORCE OF FIRE

This segment can also be “divided” by three clips of wildfire exploding. This is both a prediction of Cersei Lannister exploding the Sept of Baelor in S06E10 - The Winds of Winter ETA: as well as allusive of Danerys “three fires to light” riddle that she hears at the House of Undying in the books. In two posts back, I’ve exhaustively analysed what House of Undying chapter in the books might mean. In specific, the three fires represent Winterfell, King’s Landing, the “Trident” (or someplace at the Trident, Darry or Riverrun for example). As of 8x3, I’ll say these three fires was coincidental and most likely to mark Danerys and the dragons as the destructive part of fire in general.

BURNING OF WINTERFELL

This segment is preceded by [A] the frozen wasteland with the sun hanging low, which represents the Long Night. [C2] It’s followed by the Danerys and the Night King blood-magic parallel which establishes them as two sides of the same moral corrupt coin, since they sacrifice innocents lives to create fire/ice creatures that they use to terrorise humanity into submitting. It’s worth noting that this type of block in specific was preceded in #1 by the [D1] Red Wedding, which suggested that Danerys would burn Winterfell and “kill” Sansa as a result. Together, these three mean that Danerys will out herself as a threat to humanity ETA: during after the Long Night and the fight against the Night King and the Army of the Dead, by burning Winterfell.

There is plenty of foreshadowing that Danerys will burn Winterfell which I enclose two major examples. In the show, this is represented by Danerys passing the torch over the blue flower on the wall at the House of Undying in S02E10 - Valar Morghulis. In the books, this is represented by Danerys seeing the Red Wedding (breaking guest-right) and seeing Drogon taking flight from a smoking tower, as well as Bran as Summer seeing a “dragon” over a smoking Winterfell in the aftermath of the Bolton’s sacking the castle (ETA: who knows really, Danerys burned shit during the Battle against the Army of the Dead, though not like I expected it, so this means that this is only for her contribution, she may burn it later, or it might be different in the books).

What this scene represents is that Danerys will burn Winterfell as a result of the Night King and the Army of the Dead’s invasion.

THE NIGHT KING’S OBJECTIVE?

There is a single detail about this which is quite important. The clip that follows the Night King converting Craster’s baby into a White Walker, is a clip with a raven murder from when Sam slew a White Walker that was coming after Gilly’s baby (another of Craster’s baby). This thematic allusion cannot be taken lightly, especially because this same reference was made in Bran’s first prophetic vision. There, two clips from that scene (weirwood tree and raven murder) flank the wights from Waymar’s Royce expedition beyond the Wall.

This insistence with the Night King and Craster’s babies suggests that the Night King and the Army of the Dead might have come south because of little Sam. Personally, I feel like all this trouble for a baby is a weak story, furthermore doesn’t fit with the duality of ice and fire. It doesn’t explain why the R’hllor religion portrays both fire and ice as enemies to each other, it doesn’t explain why conveniently the Army of the Dead started getting stronger about the same time that Danerys started getting stronger (hatched the dragons), it doesn’t explain with the Night King’s original mission of being created to fight humans who burned trees and the like. In my personal opinion. Night King and the Army of the Dead started getting stronger to counter the dragons getting stronger (so this is all Danerys’ fault), but they’re also looking for Craster’s baby as a side-quest so they can add him to their ranks to destroy Danerys with (ETA: as of 8x3 nobody knows because the writers don’t care about the magic plot).

BURNING OF KING’S LANDING

This segment is mostly a “flashback” to Robert’s Rebellion, but there are a few odd “present” events as well, which outs this thing as both showing the past and how these are a representation of the future storyline. In this order, we have the following and I’ve divided them for convenience sake.

[E1] The pyromancers stashing wildfire pots.

[E2] Jaime drawing his sword against Aerys Targaryan.

[F1] Ned asking where is his sister.

[F2] Ned finding Lyana about to die.

[E3] Jaime stabbing Aerys Targaryan.

[G1] Roose Bolton stabbing Robb Stark.

[E4] Jaime stabbing Aerys Targaryan again.

[B3] A raven attacking.

[G2] Robb Stark falling after being stabbed.

[H1] Leaf creating the Night King.

[H2] Jon fighting a White Walker at Hardhome.

[E5] Jaime sitting on the Iron Throne.

Then this is punctuated by the second fire, the one which I believe it’s to burn King’s Landing.

[G] THE RED WEDDING (AGAIN)

[G1] Roose Bolton stabbing Robb Stark.

[G2] Robb Stark falling after being stabbed.

This is Robb getting stabbed by Roose Bolton at the Red Wedding. This also represents breaking guest-right, but it’s worth noting what Roose Bolton says to Robb as he stabs him ‘the Lannisters send their regards’. If it’s true these are also meant to foreshadow future events, then this suggests that the Starks will be betrayed by the Lannisters once more.

There are theories that Cersei sends people North to assassinate someone and/or kidnap Sansa, but a common assassin wouldn’t fit breaking guest-right. There are only two other Lannisters that would fit, either Jaime or Tyrion, therefore Tyrion.

[F] LYANNA STARK

[F1] Ned asking where is his sister.

[F2] Ned finding Lyana about to die.

This represents Jon Snow and R+L=J, since Ned is asking about his sister and then finds her dying at the Tower of Joy, after giving birth to Jon. This also represents Lyanna Stark being kidnapped by Rhaegar Targaryan as well as a Stark girl dying at the Tower of Joy. If it’s true these are also meant to foreshadow future events, then this suggests that another Stark girl will be kidnapped and that his brother is going to find her dead close to a tower once more.

“Ned” literally represents Jon in this scene, since it’s about his parentage, plus the show loves to visually style him as Ned v2. “Lyanna” represents Sansa, since the show loves to thematically make her Lyanna v2 due to the feather and visually style her as Lyanna v2 with the rose hair-bun, moreover [G] the Lannister betrayal suggested Sansa would be kidnapped by the crown just like Lyanna was kidnapped by the crown and [D1] the Red Wedding clip suggested that Danerys would burn Winterfell and “kill” Sansa as a result just like Lyanna died. The tower is the Burned Tower of Winterfell, it keeps coming up.

In the show, Talisa dies at the Red Wedding which is a show-only invention that is surely meant to upset people more, but may also foreshadow something similar will happen to the Starks in the future. It’s also filmed similarly to Ygritte’s and Lyanna’s death. In the books, Jon found Ygritte dying beneath the Lord Commander’s tower, which was burned since the wights attacked, just like I predict that Danerys will burn Winterfell since he wights attacked (including the Burned Tower, which makes an appearance in one of those visions that predict it). There is a surprising amount of foreshadowing for this in the books.

ASOS #48 Jon #6: When the dreams took him, he found himself back home once more, splashing in the hot pools beneath a huge white weirwood that had his father’s face. Ygritte was with him, laughing at him, shedding her skins till she was naked as her name day, trying to kiss him, but he couldn’t, not with his father watching. He was the blood of Winterfell, a man of the Night’s Watch. I will not father a bastard, he told her. I will not. I will not. “You know nothing, Jon Snow,” she whispered, her skin dissolving in the hot water, the flesh beneath sloughing off her bones until only skull and skeleton remained, and the pool bubbled thick and red.

ASOS #55 Jon #7: But he remembered the grotto best of all, the look of her naked in the torchlight, the taste of her mouth when it opened under his. Ygritte, stay away. Go south and raid, go hide in one of those roundtowers you liked so well. You’ll find nothing here but death.

ASOS #55 Jon #7 He found Ygritte sprawled across a patch of old snow beneath the Lord Commander’s Tower, with an arrow between her breasts. The ice crystals had settled over her face, and in the moonlight it looked as though she wore a glittering silver mask. The arrow was black, Jon saw, but it was fletched with white duck feathers. Not mine, he told himself, not one of mine. But he felt as if it were.

ASOS #64 Jon #8: He dreamt he was back in Winterfell, limping past the stone kings on their thrones. Their grey granite eyes turned to follow him as he passed, and their grey granite fingers tightened on the hilts of the rusted swords upon their laps. You are no Stark, he could hear them mutter, in heavy granite voices.  (...) They are feasting in the Great Hall [Theon dreams of feasting in the Great Hall with the dead], but I am not welcome there. (,...) The crypts were growing darker. A light has gone out somewhere. “Ygritte?” he whispered. “Forgive me. Please.” But it was only a direwolf, grey and ghastly, spotted with blood, his golden eyes shining sadly through the dark [Lady] …

[H] THE FIGHT AGAINST THE NIGHT KING

[H1] Leaf creating the Night King.

[H2] Jon fighting a White Walker at Hardhome.

This represents Leaf creating the Night King and Jon fighting a White Walker at Hardhome. If it’s true these are also meant to foreshadow future events, then this suggests that Bran will do something relating to the Night King and how he was created, that Jon will fight a boss White Walker (maybe Night King himself) one on one on Bran’s information as well. It was foreshadowed in season 7 by Thoros of Myr (?) that to defeat the Army of the Dead, they only needed to defeat the Night King (ETA: confirmed as of 8x3, Jon fought the Night King and forced him on foot and he was defeated by Arya, a literal little girl who trolled the Night King > I very much doubt this was what they meant back then, it’s even out of order since they’re shit writers).

[E] THE KINGSLAYER

[E1] The pyromancers stashing wildfire pots.

[E2] Jaime drawing his sword against Aerys Targaryan.

[E3] Jaime stabbing Aerys Targaryan.

[E4] Jaime stabbing Aerys Targaryan again.

[E5] Jaime sitting on the Iron Throne.

This one seems pretty straightforward, Jaime drew his sword against his king to stop him from burning more people. If it’s true these are also meant to foreshadow future events, then this suggests another kingslayer in the making, someone that will slay either a crazy queen or a crazy Targaryan (why not both).

In hindsight, these Jaime scenes “predict” what Arya (or this could be “Arya” as in representative of all the Starks + Theon) will do once Winterfell burns. [F, G] Arya will go down to King’s Landing to slay Cersei for her betrayal and rescue Sansa from her kidnapping. She’ll then “park” herself on the throne (it might be metaphorically XD) waiting for Jon to come to claim it, which is her revenge against Danerys, just like Jaime “parked” himself on the throne waiting to see who’d come to claim it (Ned showed up first, him again yeah). A few details:

Jaime draws his sword against Aerys to protect the smallfolk from him, which is something that features heavily in Arya’s storyline. She saw the suffering of the smallfolk head-on while on the road.

The Lannister betrayal (Cersei and most likely Tyrion) flanks Jaime sticking Aerys with the pointy end (supposedly he’s slashing the throat) and [B3] the raven attacking which represents Bran as a warg. It suggests that Bran will be heavily involved in solving the Lannister plot.

In response, Danerys burns King’s Landing, this is the last clip.

BURNING OF THE “TRIDENT”

ETA: As of 8x3, I’ll say these three fires was coincidental and most likely to mark this part as Danerys and the dragons as the destructive part of fire in general. So this may be a continuation of the BURNING OF KING’S LANDING.

[C2] Again Danerys and the Night King blood-magic parallel which establishes as two sides of the same moral corrupt coin, since they sacrifice innocents lives to create fire/ice creatures that they use to terrorise humanity into submitting. It’s worth noting that this type of block in specific was preceded in #1 by the [D1] Red Wedding, which suggested that Danerys would burn Winterfell and “kill” Sansa as a result (so she may want to kill Sansa for real this time).

This one is the bizarre set, which I actually don’t know what these represent. I do know this, I’ve found PLENTY of foreshadowing that Danerys will ally herself with Euron and with Melisandre. Somehow those two should fit here in some way, but again... no idea.

[J1] Jaime kills the pyromancers. The imagery is different from Aerys though, Jaime’s shadow stabs the pyromancer’s shadow, which means Arya’s “shadow” will stab a pyromancer’s “shadow”. The fact these are about shadows kind of hints it’s about Melisandre and she fits with the one “stashing wildfire pots” imagery very well since she’s obsessed with fire and blood-magic (ETA (8x3): no Melisandre, she’s gooone, so either another priest of R’hllor or bust).

In the books, Danerys meets some fake people at the House of Undying, which are meant to represent the Starks. In particular, Arya is dressed in emerald armour which makes her either armed by Gendry and / or “Renly’s ghost” just like Garlan Tyrell at Blackwater. There are some theories that Danerys and Melisandre will burn Gendry for his king’s blood, which would fit into this. Arya as “Gendry’s ghost” would take revenge on Gendry’s behalf (he may survive or he may be kissed, it doesn’t mean that he’d die) against Melisandre as Danerys’ “ghost” by slaying her (ETA as of 8x2, Arya was armed by Gendry).

[J2] The raven murder which meant the White Walkers coming for little Sam and Leaf creating the Night King. So by the exclusion of parts, this is (most likely) dealing with Euron Greyjoy. ETA: as of 8x3, it “seems” like Leaf meant Arya, so I’ll revise this. Together, these actually fits the foreshadowing that Arya will kill Danerys with Bran’s help.

In the books, Euron fancies himself as becoming a god and he’s trying to do something by using blood-magic, he’s even recreating Danerys’ funeral pyre but on a boat and with water instead. I actually have no idea. Maybe they’ll want to do some blood-magic at the Trident, maybe Euron finds more dragon eggs and Danerys will think of hatching dragons by turning the Trident into a pyre.

[J3] Jaime again, drawing his sword against the NIght King. Since the other Aerys is already dead, this is meant as a new Aerys, therefore Danerys. Arya will slay her at the Trident, but not before Danerys burns the land one last time.

#3 - THE DESTRUCTIVE FORCE OF ICE

This segment is preceded by [B1] Bran falling from the Burned Tower, that represents Bran as the Three-Eyed Raven. This identifies him as a major player of the battle against the Night King and the Army of the Dead. This one can be divided into “five” stanzas.

The first one is about fire, which foreshadows Danerys’ contribution to the Battle against the Army of the Dead, which is ZERO (ETA: confirmed in 8x3, Danerys and the dragons were absolutely useless against the Night King and the White Walkers, she even tries to burn the former but fails and he smirks at her which is the best part of that shit episode).

The second is about Bran watching the Night King and the Army of the dead, which foreshadows that only him really matters in fighting this (ETA: confirmed in 8x3, the Night King was after Bran all along, and Bran was used as bait for it, I refuse to comment on how dreadful the rest was).

THE BITCH THAT WAS PROMISED

The first stanza depicts Danerys ETA: running away and the dragons being useless in the Battle against the Army of the Dead. [1] This segment is the pyromancers stashing wildfire pots and then Aerys ordering to burn the city, [2] followed by the pyromancers stashing some more wildfire pots and then leaving, and then stashing some more wildfire pots.

[1] It was already established in #1 that pyromancers stashing wildfire pots and Aerys Targaryan are synonyms with the destructive force of fire, plus that Aerys and Danerys are the same and can be used interchangeably. ETA: It was suggested in #2 that Danerys burns Winterfell. Together, these foreshadow that Danerys will burn Winterfell (”burn them all”) and outing herself as the destructive force of fire as a counterpart to the Night King and the Army of the Dead. As of 8x3, it foreshadowed that Danerys and the dragons are absolutely useless, so much shit time spent on this the writers really suck.

[2] The pyromancers stashing more wildfire pots and then leaving, while not being followed by Aerys screaming, highly suggests that Danerys also leaves the fight against the Night King and the Army of the Dead halfway (ETA: confirmed in 8x3, since Danerys fled briefly, which foreshadows she’ll flee again). Since what follows is the pyromancers stashing more wildfire pots, it highly suggests that Danerys leaves to protect the dragons and to save her strength for other fights. In hindsight, this means Danerys chooses to leave because she is the mother of dragons and prioritises being a power-hungry warmonger obsessed with the Iron Throne, over being the mother of people and being a saviour.

THE BATTLE OF WINTERFELL

The second stanza is about Bran watching the Night King and the Army of the Dead invading, then watches him as he raises the dead. He’s really the “only” one that matters in this fight, not Danerys or whoever else. I’m assuming the key to defeating the Night King and the Army of the Dead can only be achieved through Bran so even if another slays him for real (I’m betting Jon), it could’ve been any other that it wouldn’t really matter (ETA: confirmed in 8x3).

It’s worth noting that this stanza is composed by repurposing two scenes, the first is about the Battle at Hardhome in S05E08 - Hardhome and the second is about Bran checking out the Army of the Dead and meeting the Night King where he branded him in S06E05 - The Door. Below, the whole thing divided, the former in yellow and the latter in green.

There are two things about this. The first is that this arrangement suggests that the first part is independent of Bran while the second part is dependent on Bran. The second is that the Army of the Dead breaks a door twice. What this means to me is that the wall breaking means the Wall proper (which Bran isn’t involved in since he’s not there, while the two doors mean Winterfell (which Bran is involved because he’s at Winterfell. So...

#01: The Army of the Dead breaks through the Wall.

#02: The Army of the Dead invades the North.

#03: The Army of the Dead arrives at Winterfell.

#04: The Night King raising his arms, which is the way he reanimates dead people, so he either revives the people that died fighting them and/or revives the Starks buried in the crypts.

#05: Bran is seeing the Army of the Dead, such this suggests the Night King reanimated dead people INSIDE the castle.

#06: The Army of the Dead is coming

#07: Bran is seeing the Army of the Dead.

#08: The Army of the Dead breaks through Winterfell.

#09: Bran is seeing the Army of the Dead.

#10: The Army of the Dead invades Winterfell.

ETA: No idea if this was confirmed because I refuse to watch this shit show with dreadful writing but even if I did, I wouldn’t be able to see anything.

The third and fourth stanza are practically the same, the centre is repeated, only the extremes are really different. In both, there are animated decomposed bodies so to me this really means the dead Starks are all coming back, as well as Jon is present in both fights and he’s going to play some major role in it (ETA: partly confirmed in 8x3, Jon forced the Night King out of the dragon and on foot, but Jon’s actually pretty useless so I’ll say half-half).

The third is flanked by the Night King animating corpses, the first is after he raised his arms and the last is them raising. The fourth is followed by the Army of the Dead calmly marching south. It suggests they win the fight. (ETA: confirmed in 8x3, the Night King and his pals did win the fight, they were only stopped because Arya ninja’d the Night King)

The second stanza is actually continued in the fifth stanza. Bran is still watching the Night King and the Army of the Dead, but this time the Night King comes head-on with Bran. There are two things about this. The first is that Aerys is screaming “burn them all” in the background, which was added in specific for this vision, and the second is that the Night King reaches for Bran’s arm. It foreshadows that the Night King will reach for Bran (ETA: confirmed in 8x3, the Night King was baited into the godswood by Bran).

THE NIGHT KING’S OBJECTIVE

The Night King was created by the Children of the Forest, a human captured that they turned into the first White Walker. Their objective was to use these creatures to fight humans, since they had invaded Westeros and were cutting the Weirwood Heart Trees, as well as slaughtering them all. However, their creations soon turned against him, forcing the Children of the Forest and the humans to ally themselves against this threat, somehow they won and the Night King and the Army of the Dead was forced to go back into the Lands of Always Winter where they hid for centuries.

The alliance between the Children of the Forest and the humans is known as “The Pact”. Supposedly, the two sides were tired of the bloodshed, but this is hogwash because the humans were winning. Nobody files for peace when winning. However, they did make that alliance against the Night King, so most likely the biggest reason why “The Pact” was forged was to fight the Night King as a unit. Regardless, both parts agreed that the forest would belong to the Children of the Forest while the open lands would belong to the humans, plus that the latter would never cut down a weirwood ever again.

The way the show depicts this pact is similar to the way the Night King grabs Bran’s arm, just in the latter case it’s meant as a “broken” pact of sorts. This shouldn’t be a coincidence, otherwise, the Night King would just grab him anywhere else. Supposedly, the Night King touching Bran has branded him and that from now on, the Night King knows where Bran is and he’ll come looking for him. Benjen Stark also implies this, that the Night King will come for Bran. Either way, neither speaks in a threatening manner.

This suggests two things. The Night King and the Army of the Dead is attacking because “The Pact” was broken as well as because the dragons were brought back to Westeros (Aerys saying ”burn them all”). The latter makes a lot of sense since fire is a destructive force after all, it would burn a lot of trees so of course that as their elemental counterparts they’d wish to delete them from existence (magic breeds magic in ASOIAF, it’s specifically said that Danerys’ dragons enhanced magic). The second is that Bran will have to make forge a new pact for peace (ETA: confirmed and not confirmed in 8x3, the Night King came for Bran was true but there was nothing else from the winter lore, since D&D don’t give a damn about the magic plot can you tell I’m angry, my boy Bran and Jon were both robbed, ROBBED, at least the silver lining is that it was a Stark of Winterfell who did the deed).

Fiancée Observation Record c1

Index | Next →

T/N:

So, the title of this WN is a bit ambiguous. It seems to be using ‘Self-Proclaimed Villainess’ as an adjective when normally you would expect it to be a noun in this situation. Personally, because it’s being treated as an adjective even if it’s weird, I am going to interpret it as observing the fiancée in question rather than as the fiancé’s observation record.

I’ll update it if necessary if it’s ever made clear in the story, but I don’t believe it is. 

Chapter 1: Bertia, Age 8

I, Cecil Grau Alfaster, the first and crown prince of the Kingdom of Alfaster, met my fiancée for the first time when I was ten.

Lady Bertia Ibil Noches, a Marquis’ daughter.

She had crimson hair and amber eyes. She was fair-skinned and slightly plump… actually, let me honest here. With notable characteristics like her fluffed-up dress and her snowman-like fat round body, she was a pig – I mean girl – from the prime minister’s house.

She was two years younger than me. After we met each other for the first time with my father, the king, and her father, the prime minister, in attendance, we headed out to the garden. She then immediately said the following.

“Prince Cecil! I am a noble girl villainess! My role, after I start school at Halm Academy, is to break apart your relationship with a heroine you meet, then in the end have my engagement annulled and be put in my place!”

She shoves her finger in my face decisively and glares at me sharply.

Hm. I don’t get it.

Her personal maids that had come along with her are paling… actually, let me amend that. Their expressions are more along the lines of “Oh dear. She did it after all,” like they expected this to happen.

“However, it would injure my pride as a Marquis’ daughter to be in an unsightly state, even if it’s to help you two grow closer! And so, I have decided. I will become a first class flower of evil! And so, your Highness, please become a gentleman so lovely that I won’t mind being put in my place by you!”

What should I do? I honestly don’t understand what she’s saying at all. Could this be because I’m still an immature child?

… Doesn’t seem like it. My attendants’ jaws have dropped open as they blink rapidly, after all.

Ah, but for now…

“Lady Bertia, standing around chatting is rather gauche. Shall we go sit and have tea while we talk?”

I smile sweetly and hold a hand out to her, deciding to invite her to a table where tea has already been prepared for us.

Though I’m still a child, I am someone who will eventually be responsible for an entire kingdom.

Let’s begin by calmly cleaning up this mess.

Father always says that when you’re in trouble, it’s important to take a breath and calm down before dealing with the problem after all.

“… Y- yes, you’re right.”

Lady Bertia, looking rather bewildered at my words judging from her rapid blinking, obediently lets herself be escorted to the tea table. Perhaps she lost steam because of my calm attitude.

“Prince Cecil, aren’t you a little too composed considering your age? Have you perhaps reincarnated?”

After taking a sip from a nice-smelling cup of black tea, Lady Bertia looks at me searchingly. She has a dollop of cream on her cheek from a cake – from a popular bakery – that had been brought out along with the tea.

… Could my fiancée have forgotten that I’m royalty?

It’s not like we’re old friends or anything – I think she’s acting a little too casual.

Well, this is good too since it’s more interesting than her being all weirdly nervous and tensing up.

“I don’t know what you mean by ‘reincarnated’, but if you think that I’m composed for my age, that’s probably because I’m royalty, no? Royalty is taught to conduct themselves like that from a young age. It’s natural,” I respond, my smile not fading.

“Is that so?” she asks back, but she seems to accept my explanation even as she cocks her head to the side.

… Behind me, my naggy personal attendant Zeno is shaking his head. He always says things like “Even putting aside that you’re royalty, your Highness, you look at things too long term,” and “Let’s do some more childlike things!” and “I think childlike cuteness is important as well at your age!”. But I decided to ignore him.

“Alright then, now that we’ve calmed down a little, could you explain the things you were saying earlier in a way I’ll understand? About the phrases like ‘noble girl villainess’, ‘heroine’, ‘annulling the engagement’, and ‘being put in your place’,” I ask, requesting a more detailed explanation the moment she reaches out for a second cake.

… It’s not like I care or anything, but even considering their relationship as master and servant, aren’t her maids being a bit too lenient with her?

In regards to her manners in front of royalty and the amount she’s eating.

“Yes, of course! I need you to become someone worthy of rejecting me after understanding my story fully after all, your Highness!”

Lady Bertia grips her fork tightly and looks at me seriously.

It seems like she hasn’t realized that no matter how serious she looks, she won’t be taken seriously with cream stuck around her mouth.

… It seems like I’ve overestimated my own power up until now.

It’s a bit embarrassing to admit, but I always thought that I was fairly intelligent in comparison to other children my age.

My enrollment to Halm Academy, where many nobles of similar age gather, has already been decided, but that’s mainly to increase my circle of influence and to learn how to interact with others as royalty. I’ve already learned everything there is to learn on an academic level at Halm Academy.

I had really thought that as a ten-year-old who’s already learned up to an eighteen-year-old level that I could say that I was pretty smart.

But, how could this be? I cannot understand what this eight-year-old girl is saying in the slightest.

Even considering that she’s terrible at explanations, I still can’t understand.

“What I’m saying is that your Highness, you’re going to meet this noble lady and be drawn to her innocent nature, eventually falling in love! Seeing your relationship, I become green with envy and start bullying that noble girl. After learning about this, you become furious and annul our engagement. This kicks off a chain of events that ends with the ruin of my family!”

Her passionate words are apparently all about “stuff that will happen in the future”.

And apparently she had her… previous life’s memories?... or something, and in those memories she saw… a novel that appeared with moving pictures?... that talked all about what was going to happen in the future.

Apparently there was also more… nitty gritty details?... or something, but she decided just to tell me the broad strokes today.

To be honest, I can’t imagine that I’d annul an engagement with so many strong political reasons behind it because I went crazy with love or whatever, and at least at the moment, I really can’t imagine the noble girl in front of me becoming green with envy.

There’s so many holes in her story that my head’s in a bit of a jumble.

The time set aside today was just to “see my fiancée face-to-face”, so my tea-time with her is drawing to a close. And anyways, if she gives me any more new information, even I won’t be able to parse through it all.

Ah, but there is one thing I want to double-check.

“Lady Bertia, could I ask just one question?”

“You can ask as many as you want. I’ve been waiting for this day where I tell you everything since my memories returned after all!”

I almost smile wryly at her words, considering that they were said right before we had to part.

To be honest, I don’t care if she’s just a bit delusional or she really has the power to see the future.

All I care about is…

“What kind of person would this ‘first class flower of evil’ you mentioned be?”

… this. This is the most important thing.

From this day on, she has technically become my fiancée.

As she’s become my fiancée, in the future, she will become the Queen.

Ignoring the strange existence of this ‘heroine’, if being this “flower of evil” she mentioned means she isn’t suited towards being a Queen, I’ll need to trai – I mean, lead her onto the correct path early-on. If that seems impossible, I’ll need to consult with Father as soon as possible about breaking things off.

After all, I will be King in the future.

“That’s obvious! She’s strong, dignified, and beautiful! She’s someone who makes her own path in life no matter what anyone says. Even if that path leads to ruin, she walks along it with no hesitation – a flower of evil! I’m going to become someone like that!”

“Strong, dignified, and beautiful… I see.”

Let me apologize.

At that moment, I casually looked down at her stomach.

I had been a bit curious about what she thought about her own appearance, but she apparently hadn’t noticed it at all… well, I won’t be too harsh since I don’t intend to explicitly berate her.

I did think that it was bad to look there with this timing considering what we were talking about, so I immediately looked back up at her face and smiled.

But it was too late.

She realized what I had been looking at.

And having realized, her face goes bright red.

“I – it’s not like that! Lady Bertia, Marquis’ daughter, is an underdog-type character so her appearance is kind of questionable.”

“’Underdog’? That seems… like a sad existence. Are you alright with that?”

“N – no I’m not! That’s Bertia’s story – I’m… I’m… I’m not just Lady Bertia! I am myself! I will reach greater heights… I will become a more pure and good flower of evil!”

Is she losing control of herself?

I really feel like a pure and good flower of evil is an oxymoron, but it looks like she hasn’t realized this at all.

Bright red from head to toe, she stands up with a clatter.

“Y – your Highness. I will improve myself before coming again! I will take my leave now! Good day!”

She bows hurriedly and runs out before I could even think about stopping her. Afterwards, following their master’s lead, her maids bow hurriedly and leave as well.

I stared after her blankly until I couldn’t see her anymore.

“… What was with her?” I murmur.

“Your Highness, what will you do?” asks Zeno in response to my murmur.

His question didn’t mention about what I was going to do, but he’s probably talking about my engagement with her.

As royal marriages are usually arranged for political reasons, I won’t be able to do something about it immediately. But if I talk about how she acted today to my father, even if it took time, I would probably be able to bring up the topic of annulment using her “unsuited personality to be a Queen” as the reasoning.

But…

“She’s kind of interesting, isn’t she? And even though she’s of noble birth, she isn’t weirdly warped or twisted. She’s straightforward so she’s probably easy to control… I’ll just observe her, she seems like she’ll be fun for a while.”

Somehow, I’m having fun for the first time in a while.

It’s not like I’ve fallen for her in a romantic sense or anything, but how should I put it… dumb kids are cute? I’ve found a new toy?

… I don’t really get it myself, but I am feeling more excited than I’ve ever felt before.

Generally, I can do anything if I try it once, so the world is rather boring to me.

I’ve almost never felt that feeling of satisfaction on successfully completing something that all the other kids have. My world has always seemed a bit dull and washed out to me.

But after meeting her today, my world has definitely become brighter.

This feeling of not knowing what’s going to happen uplifts my spirits.

“Heh heh…”

Before I realize it, I’m smiling naturally.

This is a very rare occurrence for someone like me who’s used to smiles being something you force onto your face.

“Your Highness, you look like you’re having fun.”

“Yes, I’m thinking that this feeling of uncertainty isn’t bad. It uplifts my spirits.”

“… You’re free to have fun, but couldn’t you have fun in a more childlike way?”

“But I am having some innocent fun, just like a child?”

“… Oh, right. You left behind your childishness in her Majesty the Queen’s womb. I apologize for asking for the impossible.”

“You really always say the rudest things. Well, I don’t mind. I’ll let it go since I’m in a really good mood right now.”

“Thank you very much.”

After glancing at Zeno, who lowers his head with a displeased expression, I turn my gaze back towards the direction she left in.

Just how much fun will she let me have, this girl who’s become my fiancée?

“Don’t let me down, okay?” I say quietly despite no longer being able to even see her.

I turn my head towards the sky and close my eyes.

T/N:

This was someone’s request I took on since this story’s short anyway - only 19 chapters including the extras - and appears to be abandoned. I plan to release a chapter a week from now on every Thursday (not including this week).

edit: Due to requests to start translating the newer chapters but my lack of motivation to start in the middle ^^; I will instead translate 2 - 8 within the next two weeks and post Ch. 9 during the first week of August, at which point I will begin releasing a chapter every week.
