Hey hey!
I know this is kinda far-fetched but I just want you guys to know that I'm not trying to guess the end game but just trying to show you guys "my ending". On the other hand, there are tons of news, theories and leaks which claims they are legit. I generally try to avoid them. And if I ever read something somewhere I still try to avoid drawing something according to itsince there is a slight possibility maybe it's really going to be happening. You know, drawing something after reading some leaks somewhere has no meaning to me. And it is kinda selfish as an artist, because it is like spoiling things for others. So let me remind you that latest images I'm creating is nothing but my own hopeful endings for the characters.
Anyways, about guessing Bran's fate, it's probably going to be a dead end since he is the most unpredictible and mysterious character in Game of Thrones.
According to this image, Bran is doing SOMETHING very bold & important in the end to stop the Night King. I imagined this as it's the last thing Night King sees. I really can't tell what Bran is doing to stop him yet, since I'm planning to show my ending for the NK with my last image for this series of images. But I imagine, what Bran is doing is making his mind and the Night King's to come together in a desperate moment. And with this climax, the weirwood trees're starting to burn to the ground while two champions are neutralizing each other. Night King vanishes while red weirwood leaves catches fire by a blue blaze, and Bran becomes an entity whose words echoed through space and time along generations. His presence continues in a different form? Since I'm not revealing my ending for the NK yet, I guess you guys may not agree with me, but I think during "the process" Bran transforms into something which is the origin of "the Lord of Light". Crazy, right?
Maybe not literally, maybe all Bran is trying to do is to get back in time to prevent things before happening? And he tried & will try to warn people about the apocalypse? Maybe he is also other Brans from the history? Maybe that's all he can do now, whispering to people through ages? Eventually a new religion is borned, people misinterpreted his warnings, and they started burning people? Maybe all Bran says was it's crucial to burn the dead?
Like Syrio Forel said, there is only one God, and his name is death. Other than death, all other gods including R'hollor-the Lord of Light is nothing more than people's own interpretations? I can see societies of Essos associate Bran's whispers and shape their religion around fire.
Now I can also hear you guys asking: "How can Bran grant Melisandre with a demon/shadow baby?" Well I have an explanation to it, too but not before I show my Night King's final scene.
Anyways, these are probably never going to be happening. But if what I imagine for the ending is really happening on tv, I hope no one else is going to put it into words on some forums before I draw my final painting.
Who else but me can guess that Bran is going to warg....and so the Night King....before he...of the white walkers? : ))))
Cheers!
