Game Of Thrones Season 9 : The War of Successors

Episode 4: Vision of the Past

The scenes starts with intense fight between the Nightwatch and the Whitewalker. "You cannot kill them without Dragonglass!" shouted Jon. Immediately he rallies the Nightwatch to the pedestal as the Whitewalkers are overwhelming them. Ellie tries to shoot the shrieking figure that raise the dead but her arrows simply went through it. As Jon desperately tries to fend off the swarming dead, he looked at the heart shaped dragonglass in the pedestal. He raised Longclaw and shattered the dragonglass. Unexpectedly, the dragonglass exploded and shards of the debris fly outward at great speed. All of the whitewalker shattered similarly in ways they fall in Winterfell and the shrieking figure vanishes. Ellie immediately jump to Jon and found him groaning in pain. To Ellie's horrow, a fragmented shard has stabbed straight to Jon's chest.

Back in King's landing, Bran's face suddenly change and he looks toward the North. He quickly activates his three eye raven ability and rest his body on his wheelchair. In his vision, dark clouds still enclosed the Eyrie but interestingly there's a faint light far to the north. Suddenly, a lot of voices are heard in Bran's vision. "He knows!" shouted one voice. "That cannot be, the Night King should not be revive yet! Not in another thousand years!" another voice anxiously shouted. Bran whispered "This is not what I agreed with all of you, there should be no harm to my family". The voices quiet and the old three eye raven appeared in Bran's vision. "You have been part of us and you are no longer Brandon Stark" said the old three eye raven. "Remember our purpose" said him again before vanishing. Bran's wakes up and saw Lady Brienne at his side. Lady Brienne realize that Bran has returned from his slumber and immediately said "I do not mean to disturb you, your majesty". Sensing that Bran's vision has uncovered terrible news, Lady Brienne ask whether the enemy in the Eyrie is troubling him. Bran emotionlessly said no and he asked about any news from Tyrion and his sister, Sansa. Lady Brienne brief Bran on how the army are assembled at Harrenhal but make no moves as the enemy has fortified themselves in Eyrie. Upon listening to Brienne's news, Bran ask for a raven to be send to Sansa. In his message, Bran has requested Sansa to arrange a meeting with Jon at their Uncle's castle in Riverrun.

Jon has passed out for five days and the Nightwatch has finally retreated themselves to Castle Black. Tormund who learnt Jon's unfortunate event has personally escorted the party and commanded the wildling to help Jon's recovery. Ellie tells Tormund that even though the shard pierced Jon's chest it did not reach his heart. The shard probably will stay in his chest forever, the maester who are treating Jon added. Tormund's laugh and said that Jon's has died once and he will make alive with this "small" scratch. The maester then smiled and said Jon probably will fully recover in a fortnight. As the Tormund and Ellie about to leave the ward, a Nighwatch comes and pass the Maester a note. "Queen Sansa of the North and King Bran of Westeros has summoned the Lord Commander Jon Snow to the south!" said the Maester surprisingly upon reading the note.

In Harrenhal, Tyrion is having a conversation with the Master of Spies. The new Master of Spies is known as Amarys is a young man at his twenties. Tyrion jokingly tease whether Amarys is a foreigner or an orphan because he do not has a family name. Amarys return that he is grateful to Tyrion to recommend him to his current position but tells him back that it is Lord Varys who gave his name when he was still a "Little Bird". He tells Tyrion that he betrayed his good friend when he let Daenerys Targaten executed Lord Varys years ago. Bronn interrupt the conversation and ask the Master of Spies to be useful now that their King's power no longer become deterrent to invaders. Bronn said he wishes to end the war quickly and return to his eden of beautiful maiden in Highgarden. Amarys then inform that his spies has managed to get some news but the important news is not coming from Eyrie but from Essos. It seems the man who claimed to Aegon Targayen is also the commander of the Golden Company and his invading army are composed of sellswords from various Free City. But the biggest news is that he pays for whoever able to track Drogon, the last dragon of Daenerys Targayen. Tyrion is shaken upon hearing the news and slowly said if the guy really claimed to be a Targayen and then all hope is lost for Westeros if he is really able to control Drogon.

In his dreams, Jon found himself in the chamber of the Iron Throne. Nobody is noticing him as if he was not exist around them. To his horror, he saw the scene when his grandfather is burning alive with wildfire and his uncle died choking when desperately try to save him. He quickly gaze to the man who sit in the iron throne, and to his surprise Bran is standing beside King Aerys and his whisper to the King's ear could be clearly heard by Jon, "Burn all the Northmen, burn them all".

The scene slowly faded to black as Jon in disbelief of what he saw and heard.
