  ===Beyond the Wall===
  Bran and Meera continue to flee the wights. Bran, still in his visions, witnesses several events: Jaime Lannister killing King Aerys Targaryen, a dragon flying over the Red Keep, his fall from Winterfell which left him paralyzed, the Night King transforming Craster's last son into a White Walker, the massacre at Hardhome, Ned Stark's beheading, the murder of Catelyn and Robb Stark at the Red Wedding, and wildfire exploding beneath King's Landing. As the wights close in, a black-clad rider appears and pulls Meera and Bran onto his horse, allowing them to escape.
  Bran awakens to find the rider is his uncle, Benjen Stark, who had gone missing beyond the Wall. Benjen explains that he was stabbed by a White Walker during a ranging and was left to die and become another wight, but was saved by the Children of the Forest by being impaled with dragonglass. He tells Bran that he needs to become the Three-Eyed Raven and control his skinchanging before the Night King comes south.
