A Game of Thrones #16

A Game of Thrones: The Graphic Novel

by Daniel Abraham, George R.R. Martin, Tommy Patterson (Artist)

News of Eddard Stark's arrest for treason has spread to Castle Black, where Jon Snow, now a member of the Night's Watch, finds that the onus of bastardy is nothing compared to being the son of an accused traitor. But that is the least of his problems. For the frozen corpses of two rangers, brought back for examination, prove lively enough to commit murder. Meanwhile, in Winterfell, Robb Stark calls his bannermen and marches south . . . though the wildling woman Osha argues that the real fight lies to the north, against the mysterious Others. But with Eddard and Sansa held hostage, Robb knows that only victory on the battlefield can save them. And so, together with his mother, Lady Catelyn, Robb prepares an audacious roll of the dice.

The heart lies and the head plays tricks, but the eyes see true.

Issue#16

“Is this meant to be your shield, my lord? A piece of paper?” [Rriiip] – Cersei to Ned

“The heart lies and the head plays tricks, but the eyes see true.
“Look with your eyes. Hear with your ears. Feel with your skin. THEN comes the thinking, afterwards.” - Syrio to Arya

{NEVER DO WHAT THEY EXPECT. Up would take her to the tower of the Hand, where they would expect her to go. So ...DOWN.}
{Her footsteps sent echoes hurrying ahead as she plunged into the darkness.} - Arya.

“We are in a dreadful position. You are innocent of any wrong, yet you are the daughter of a traitor. How can I allow you to marry my son?” - Cersei to Sansa before the council
“But I LOVE him!” - Sansa to Cersei
“How well I know it. Why else should you have come to me and told of your father's plan to leave?” - Cersei to Sansa, while small the council consisting of Pycelle, Petyr and Varys play their own games.

Sansa in her naïve self-obsession is oblivious to the 'game' she is part of and inadvertently sentences her whole family household to the Queen Regent's wrath.

Everything gets turned upside down in King's Landing. Lord Stark is captured infront of the throne and declared a traitor, due to the treachery of Littlefinger. Sansa Stark is still oblivious and follows the lead of Cersei and Joffrey without any regard for her family. Arya Stark is sent for while training with her Dancing Master, Syrio Forell, the first sword of Braavos. He manages to kill quite a few men with a training sword.
