'Game of Thrones' season 5: Arya Stark to be accompanied by dangerous companion in her journey

Latest "Game of Thrones" season 5 spoilers revealed that Arya Stark will be with a dangerous companion next season.

Loyal viewers of "Game of Thrones" watched Arya Stark and her journey from the moment her father Edward Stark was killed in front of her. Now, she runs after the perpetrators of the murder for revenge and personal resolve.

The young tomboy is tailing The Lannisters armed with the knowledge of their capabilities. In her journey for revenge, she was never alone. She has been with the company of different unlikely tour guides from gentle Gendry to the ferocious Hound.

Next season, Arya will be with a dangerous companion who will accompany her in her journey as her tour guide. However, according to Maisie Williams, the actress who plays Arya, her character will be just fine.

"And I think, for the first time ever, she actually believes she's going to be fine. It's refreshing to me; this girl's been pulled left and right by people who've been telling her what she's going to do with her life, and she's sick of it. She knows this world, she knows who to trust and she's ready to go off on her own," Maisie Williams told TV Line.

Meanwhile, it was reported that the filming of "Game of Thrones" season 5 has started. Web site Winter Is Coming consolidated tweets from various sources claiming that the filming for the next season already started. The show tends to begin shooting in July until November. The web site added that the production has started in Northern Ireland where most of the sets of the show are located.

"Game of Thrones" season 5 will feature some of the familiar locations in the series. There were reports that the big HBO production is scouting Croatia to be a setting for the fifth season. Reports also claimed that the cast and crew are heading to Iceland to film a very limited amount of daylight hour before transferring to Spain to shoot the Dorne scenes for the popular TV show.
