The long wait for Game of Thrones Season 4 is making fans anxious over what's to come to their favourite characters. Here's a quick look into what lies ahead for Jon Snow, Ygritte, Arya Stark, and the Hound. (Spoilers ahead.)

What can Game of Thrones fans expect next season, if they haven't read George R.R. Martin's book series, "A Song of Ice and Fire?" The fourth book, "A Feast for Crows," is relatively low-key albeit storylines are moved forward. It is believed this will be resolved for the TV by drawing developments from the fifth book, "A Dance with Dragons."

Game of Thrones Season 4: Jon Snow Knows Nothing

The Wildlings, in a rather unwise move, storm Castle Black as if they have sufficient people and combat training. Styr, Magnar of Thenn, who has been rumoured to have already been cast, will lead this assault. In the books, Wildling Ygritte doesn't do well in this battle. She will once again tell Jon Snow, "You know nothing." Will the HBO series do it differently, or will Ygritte-Jon 'shippers have their hearts broken?

Game of Thrones Season 4: Arya Stark and the Hound part ways

Sandor Clegane aka the Hound is keeping Arya Stark in his custody. He had hoped to collect ransom from her family. But HBO viewers already know how that has turned out. However ill his intentions might have been, at least he has been with the young girl after the horrible Twins massacre.

In the course of their journey, they wind up in a fight and the Hound gets badly wounded. He eventually asks for Arya's mercy, but she refuses. She hasn't forgiven him for the murder of her friend Mycah.

Arya soon finds her way to Braavos, with the help of Jaqen H'ghar's coin. It will be recalled that Melisandre saw a vision of Arya shutting her eyes forever. This comes to pass as Arya is taken under the wing of the Faceless Men. Indeed, there's a dark journey ahead for the young Stark girl, who was once trained to use the pointy end.
