Writing exercise
Robb Stark laid claim to the king of the north after the execution of his father. Since he had no wisdom in the political games just like his father, he got brutally killed by House Frey in the blood wedding and so did Catlyn Stark. Meanwhile, his sister Sansa remained in Kingslanding as a hostage and married to Tyrion against her will. Later, she fled from Kingslanding with Little finger’s help after Joffery was dead and took Little finger’s advice to marry Ramsay Bolton after Little finger pushed her aunt Lysa off the moon door of the Eyrie Castle. She fed Ramsay to his own dogs after the Bastards Battle.
Arya ran away in the chaos of the capture of her father, escorted by the Hound to meet her mother and aunt. She left the Hound who was seriously wounded by Brienne Tarth to die alone and used the coin given by H’ghar to sail to Braavos, where she trained to be a killer.
Bran Stark became three eye raven and his little brother Rickon was killed by Ramsay.
