How does bran die in clash of kings

In the second, Bran will follow Jojen and Meera and discover the truth of his mysterious dreams and the enigmatic three-eyed crow. As Jojen tells him, "A knight is what you want. A warg is what you are. You can't change that, Bran, you can't deny it or push it away. You are the winged wolf, but you will never fly" This path, then, is all about Bran himself. It is between these two duties—the duties to family and the duty to self—that Bran struggles throughout the novel, as well as with his paralysis.

After the destruction of Winterfell at Ramsay Snow's hands, Bran's choice is basically made for him. No Winterfell; no Stark lord. Time to head north and look for a three-eyed crow. In the final chapter of the novel, Bran and Rickon Stark part ways. Osha takes Rickon with her, and they head to the East Gate with Shaggydog. Bran, looking out over the remains of Winterfell, thinks to himself that the castle remains, broken but not dead.

He imagines that it is the same for him—he, too, is broken but not dead But on his first ride outside Winterfell's walls, Bran is captured by a group of wildlings that want to steal his horse and ransom him back to Winterfell. However, Bran is rescued by Robb , Theon , and the direwolves before he can come to further injury by the wildlings, who are promptly killed. Osha , a spearwife, is kept alive. She and Bran speak in the Godswood and become friends.

When Theon Greyjoy invades Winterfell, Bran surrenders the Keep to him to protect the people of Winterfell, but not wishing to be a hostage, he plans an escape with Osha, Hodor, Rickon, and the two Reed children. Bran heads north to the wall, where his visions are guiding him. The Wildling woman Osha takes his brother Rickon and his direwolf, Shaggydog a different way, because a dying Maester Luwin tells them they need to separate so one will make it through if something happens to the other.

Bran travels with Hodor and the brother and sister duo Meera and Jojen Reed. Jojen is gifted with "green dreams" and uses clues given in his dreams to guide the party North. Bran, along with the rest of the Stark children, is a warg. Throughout the series, he inhabits the body of his own direwolf as well as Hodor.

In a dream, Bran is promised the ability to fly by a three eyed crow. Jojen, using his green dreams, promises to help take Bran to meet the three eyed crow and become a trained warg. Bran and his party nearly meet up with Jon, who is trying to escape Styr's group. Jon is later devastated when he is told Bran and Rickon were killed by Theon Grejoy.

Bran's group comes into contact with Samwell Tarly and Gilly just after arriving at one of the castles at the Wall. He shows them a tunnel passing through the wall. Sam realizes Bran is Jon's brother when he sees Summer. They force Sam into keeping their survival of Theon's invasion a secret from Jon so they can continue north. The "crow" is actually an old warg whose body has merged with a godswood tree. Arya assumes they are after her, but it turns out they want the Bull, whose real name is Gendry.

Yoren and the other men and boys in the party drive them off but know they must flee before the gold cloaks return. Benjen, who is Jon's uncle, was the Watch's First Ranger and has been missing for months.

Jon says that he feels troubled but will keep his vow to the Watch. At Riverrun, Catelyn Stark worries about the effects of kingship on her son Robb. Only fifteen, Robb has been proclaimed the King in the North by men loyal to Winterfell, though he sometimes still seems just a boy.

Although Robb offers severe terms, Catelyn notices that some of the men in his party do not want to make peace with the Lannisters under any conditions. The Lannister forces are terrorizing civilians in the riverlands, and many lords from that region who fought for Robb are returning home to defend their lands and subjects. Catelyn questions Robb about the wisdom of offering such unacceptable peace terms and accuses him of not trying to protect his sisters being held hostage at King's Landing.

Robb dismisses her concerns.
