第十八章 布兰 BRAN 开天眼，布兰苏醒
故事梗概：
昏迷中的布兰一直做着一个似乎不会结束的梦，梦中他不停地向下坠落，耳边有个声音在说快飞吧，然后他不知道怎么飞，只好继续坠落。他想起鲁温学士为他制作的陶土娃娃从楼上摔下摔得粉碎的模样，心中有无限恐惧，他好想哭。。。
一个声音说，不要哭，要飞。 我不会飞，布兰说。 你怎么知道？你试过吗？ 布兰环顾四周，声音来自一只与他一同下坠的乌鸦。乌鸦试图让布兰学会飞，布兰回忆起那张亮澄澄的脸孔，而乌鸦却要他忘记这个。
乌鸦引导他往下看，布兰开始还很害怕，他看到了冬临城里哥哥罗柏苦练剑术；向东看，他看到坐在帆船上独自神伤的母亲；往南看，他看到父亲在向国王求情，珊莎含泪入眠，艾莉亚郁郁寡欢；向西穿过狭海，他看到了自由贸易城，多斯拉克草原；往北望去，他看到绝境长城之上雪诺孤独得睡在冰冷的床上；越过长城，他看到了无边无际，白雪覆盖的森林，河岸和冰原，看到了世界的尽头。。。
乌鸦告诉他你必须活下去，因为凛冬已至。布兰这才发现乌鸦原来有三只眼睛，第三只眼里充满了一种恐怖的知识。布兰想起了父亲有关勇敢的教诲：人唯有恐惧的时候方能勇敢。乌鸦催促布兰：现在就抉择，不飞，只能摔死。布兰振臂一挥，飞了起来，豁然开朗
乌鸦用尖嘴狠狠啄布兰额头的中央，双眼中间的地方，布兰感到一阵尖锐的疼痛，大叫起来，乌鸦发出刺耳的尖叫。世界开始天旋地转，渐渐地乌鸦突然变成了一个女仆。。。
布兰意识到自己正躺在临冬城某个寒冷高塔房间的床上，女仆吓了一跳，手上的脸盆摔落在地，一路小跑高喊他醒了，他醒了。。。布兰想要起身，却有动弹不得。这时，他的小狼跳到了布兰的身上，用舌头舔着他的脸。罗柏得到消息赶到房间，布兰一脸镇定地对罗柏说：我觉得给小狼取名叫“夏天”。。。

- Bran looked down. There was nothing below him now but snow and cold and death, a frozen wasteland where jagged blue-white spires of ice waited to embrace him. They flew up at him like spears. He saw the bones of a thousand other dreamers impaled upon their points. He was desperately afraid.

- Wings unseen drank the wind and filled and pulled him upward. The terrible needles of ice receded blow him. The sky opened up above. Bran soared.

- The crow opened its beak and cawed at him, a shrill scream of fear, and the grey mists shuddered and swirled around him and ripped away like a veil, and he saw that the crow was really a woman, a serving woman with long black hair, and he knew her from somewhere, from Winterfell, yes, that was it, he remembered her now, and then he realized that he was in Winterfell, in a bed high in some chilly tower room, and the black-haired woman dropped a basin of water to shatter on the floor and ran down the steps, shouting: "He's awake, he's awake, he's awake."
