This Theory About Bran on Game of Thrones Might Just Be Insane Enough to Be True
Bran Stark might be on a lot of people's sh*t list after season six of Game of Thrones for messing with the time-space continuum of Westeros and turning innocent Wylis into Hodor - AND THEN getting him killed. It's safe to say everyone's going to be judging his next moves as the Three-Eyed Raven very carefully. But if this theory proposed by Reddit user svenhoek86 works out, things could get pretty crazy for the young Stark.
The theory: Bran will warg into a dragon. Let that sink in. Sounds awesome, right? Now, you might be wondering about logistics. Bran just barely makes it back to the Wall, and the three fire-breathers are accompanying their mother across the Narrow Sea. They'll presumably make their way to King's Landing so Daenerys can finally do what she's been saying for like 27 years now and take back the Iron Throne for the Targaryens. All of that is far, far from the Wall.
However, once Bran reaches the Wall, he'll likely discover at Castle Black that his half-brother (who we now know is actually not really his half-brother) Jon has left for Winterfell with Sansa and taken it back for the Starks, thank the gods. Assuming nothing interrupts his journey, he may reunite with Jon and Sansa not long into season seven. He now also has some very interesting knowledge about Jon to share . . .
Before season six, Bran is a well-meaning kid without the use of his legs, but with weird visions and warging talents. Now he's the Three-Eyed Raven, and his new responsibilities (and new visions) could make him a serious ally for the new King in the North.
Meanwhile, if Daenerys is on her way to Westeros with the intention of making allies as well as fighting her enemies, it might only be a matter of time before she meets Jon Snow - and perhaps Bran as well.
This theory about Bran calls attention to two details that actually make the whole idea seem not so far-fetched. In the A Song of Ice and Fire book series, Daenerys is told in the House of the Undying at Qarth that the Targaryen dragon must have three heads - which reflects her house's sigil of a three-headed dragon, but also refers to the well-accepted idea that there are always supposed to be three dragon riders. If one of the Targaryen riders is Daenerys herself (which seems to be a given) and Jon Snow is another, as many people believe, that still leaves the identity of the third up for grabs.
When Bran meets the Three-Eyed Raven for the first time at the end of season four, he asks if he'll ever be able to walk again. The Three-Eyed Raven dashes his hopes by telling him he won't walk . . . but he'll fly. Bran, like Jon, is well aware of the threat the White Walkers and their army of the dead pose to the rest of the world. And it's clear by now that whoever ends up being the real victor of the Iron Throne will have to fight the real battle for the world, between the living and the dead. Perhaps once Daenerys has taken her place as queen (and informed of the impending White Walker attack by Jon and Bran), she'll lead her armies (and her dragons) north to fight the White Walkers.
While Bran can't actively fight the White Walkers himself, controlling one of Daenerys's dragons in battle as her ally would be even more impressive. And after being separated from all the madness and chaos of Westeros for so long, it seems fitting that Bran could ultimately help save the world, right?
