It’s gonna get worse before it gets better—13 Dire Predictions for Game of Thrones Season 7

5) THE HOUND DIES

Sandor “the Hound” Clegane has joined the Brotherhood Without Banners, and the company is heading north. They could well link up with Team Stark, although Beric Dondarrion and Thoros of Myr might also follow their own course of action, depending on what omens their beloved R’hllor has sent them. And while the Hound is accompanying the outlaw brotherhood for now, he’s as independent as they come, and might break away at any time for a host of reasons.

So here’s my prediction: Obeying the signs from their Lord of Light and ignoring the pleas of Jon Snow and Sansa Stark, the Brotherhood embark on an expedition north of the Wall. Later, during an intense blizzard, the company is surrounded by wights and slaughtered but for the Hound and Thoros of Myr, who escape into the snowfall. Once they’ve reached shelter, the Hound dies of his wounds, and a desperate Thoros resurrects him. Unfortunately, it doesn’t go quite right, and Sandor rises as a half-wight monstrosity, ready for Cleganebowl.
