ASOIAF: The Stallion Who Mounts The World
Posted on 7/8/12 at 3:46 pm
Posted on 7/8/12 at 3:46 pm
I just finished re-reading the series, and with all of the prophecies, I started thinking about TSWMTW. With Rhaego dying this could be a prophecy changed, like Melissandre has talked about, or just misunderstood. My question though, could Dany herself be the Stallion?
From AGOT :
There's not much to go on from the prophecy itself, but what stands out to me is the first and line, "As swift as the wind he rides". This could be a hint about riding dragons. Then there's the line "Fierce as a storm this prince will be." We all know Dany's moniker is Stormborn. As for her uniting all khalasars, that remains to be seen. We left Dany in ADWD standing next to Drogon staring down Khal Jhogo with some of his warriors. Drogo's khal dispersed when Drogo died, but what will happen when the dothraki see dragons descending on them? "The dothraki follow only the strong"
Now, what really got me thinking about her being the Stallion is what Mirri Maez Duur told her after Rhaego died.
Dany is now in the middle of burning and trampling Essos, and we know Victarion is on his way to Mereen to bring her to Westeros. I'm sure once the "milk men in their stone tents" hear of her coming they will surely tremble.
I know I'm reaching here, but I've read so many theories that I figure one more won't hurt. Please George, finish Winds of Winter soon.

"As swift as the wind he rides, and behind him his khalasar covers the earth, men without number, with arakhs shining in their hands like blades of razor grass. Fierce as a storm this prince will be. His enemies will tremble before him, and their wives will weep tears of blood and rend their flesh in grief. The bells in his hair will sing his coming, and the milk men in the stone tents will fear his name." The old woman trembled and looked at Dany almost as if she were afraid. "The prince is riding, and he shall be the stallion who mounts the world."

When we had our first ultrasound for our son a few months ago I texted the picture with that as the title...yeah I know it's a cool arse story....bros
I think Daeny still might have time to birth the stallion.

That's awesome. 
It would be even more awesome if that stallion ended up being named Ned.

Impossible for Dany to be TSWMTW because a stallion can only be male.

It just doesn't really make sense, unless you go with some "reborn" route.
Who knows though?
GRRM probably reads a lot of what is posted on line and laughs at all of us.

I don't think she herself could be the stallion but I think she's capable of having children. I'm completely convinced she was with child or is at the very least capable of having children after her bleeding in ADwD despite comments otherwise.

The only way it's possible IMO is if the prophecy itself is incorrect in terms of it being male driven. I could see her being capable of the things in the prophecy, it's always possible that they got the prophecy wrong I guess.
To the OP, it's not a bad theory by any means. Lord knows we've all seen crazier theories with ASOIAF.
