Arya, Hot Pie, and Gendry make their way north from Harrenhal, in hopes of reaching the safety of Riverrun. The trip won’t be an easy one, as they avoid the roads in favor of the cover the rugged terrain provides. Arya’s worried about being hunted by Roose Bolton’s men, but gets some help from an old friend. Simon and Mackelly saddle up for the ride.

Chapter Review:
Arya Stark and her friends Hot Pie and Gendry successfully escaped Harrenhal. However, they now find themselves traveling through dense woods and high hills, and across rivers, with nothing more than a vague map and Arya’s comprehension of geographical orientation to keep them going in the right direction.

Arya’s plan is to go north to the Red Fork of the Trident, then follow the river west to Riverrun. She’s sure Lord Roose Bolton will send a hunting party after her, as she stole and murdered a guard, to make their escape. Along their travels, they hear wolves howl and have a run-in with a trio of them. But they’ve seen no sign of any men tracking her and the boys.

When they can go no further without falling asleep in their saddles, they make camp for the night. Arya dreams she’s a huge wolf. Her pack attacks four members of the Brave Companions. The pack kills three, and she kills the fourth herself.
