Let's talk about Prophecy ** Game of Thrones Spoilers**

There's been several comments on this board that Arya killing the Night King means:

The Dagger is Lightbringer
Arya is Azhor Azhai
Jon/Dany can't be The Prince that was Promised.
etc.

The prophecy in question is:

Azhor Azhai/The Prince that was Promised - (This could be one prophecy or two. It's unclear. Personally I think Azhor Azhai is the original and The Prince that was Promised is the reincarnation )

quote:

---

"There will come a day after a long summer when the stars bleed and the cold breath of darkness falls heavy on the world. In this dread hour a warrior shall draw from the fire a burning sword. And that sword shall be Lightbringer, the Red Sword of Heroes, and he who clasps it shall be Azor Ahai come again, and the darkness shall flee before him."

"According to prophecy, our champion will be reborn to wake dragons from stone and reforge the great sword Lightbringer that defeated the darkness those thousands of years ago. If the old tales are true, a terrible weapon forged with a loving wife's heart. Part of me thinks man was well rid of it, but great power requires great sacrifice. That much at least the Lord of Light is clear on." ?Thoros of My

Melisandre states "When the red star bleeds and the darkness gathers, Azor Ahai shall be born again amidst smoke and salt to wake dragons out of stone.

Now, if you stick to the "wake dragons out of stone" part this is obviously Daenerys. No one else has done anything like this.

If you acknowledge that she only birthed her dragons by taking them in to Drogo's funeral pyre, then the dragons are Lightbringer.

Now the other prophecy that's very popular is -

quote:

---

"The dragon has three heads."

I would argue that the three heads of the dragon are Daenerys, Jon, and Arya.

If you watch the episode again, Daenerys uses Drogon, to clear a path for Jon to get to Bran.

When Jon gets stuck by the wight dragon at the entrance to the Godswood, he stands up and screams in the face of the dragon but it's not one continuous scream of frustration like it might appear. He keeps the dragon focused on him and screams "Gooooooo! Go! Go!" - (He does. Watch it again)

The next shot is the wind blowing the white walker's hair as someone runs by.

I think one "head of the dragon" allowed Jon to get past the wights, another "head of the dragon" allowed Arya to get past the wight dragon, and the final "head of the dragon" killed the Night King.

These three also balance the three heads of the dragon as a song of ice and fire. You've got 1 Targaryen (fire), 1 Stark (Ice), and 1 that's both - Jon.


This episode fulfilled prophecy as well as any episode before has.

Bring me your downvotes.
