![]() The oldest had long ago rusted away to nothing, leaving only a few red stains where the metal had rested on stone. Yeah I meant the deeper cryts, (that's why I said top )) I am aware that Lyanna's down the end.īy ancient custom an iron longsword had been laid across the lap of each who had been Lord of Winterfell, to keep the vengeful spirits in their crypts. So no matter what happens, all will become clear in time - I just hope it's sometime in the next 10 years. The stupid thing about prophecy, or maybe the thing that makes prophecies stupid, is that even though they purport to tell the future the only way to determine if and how they've been fulfilled is through hindsight. (And *semi-crackpot* I also expect that snow and the Others' freezing mist will stand in for salt (similarly white grainy stuff) and smoke (similar airborn particles) due to a misinterpretation of the vision by a prophet from the far south - with thanks to the heresy threads.) The stone part? A crypt at Winterfell (those damn dreams must mean something) or a stone cell at Castle Black. "What is dead may never die, but rises again, harder and stronger," is what those Ironborn say, so now they have the opportunity to prove it. If this indeed happens (and really, it's time for Theon to go) I think it will cause DeadJon to become an enlightened Revived Jon/TPTWP/AAR. In the gift chapter Stannis is planning to execute Theon the Northern way, by killing him in front of a weirwood tree. It's been hinted that a blood sacrifice to a weirwood tree gets the Northern mojo going. I pick Balon and Theon, kings by blood even if not acknowledged by the rest of Westeros, because the timing is, or will be, right for DeadJon to get a kick start from dead Greyjoy, not to mention the fact that those damn Greyjoys have to be good for something. So the sleeping dragon must be one of those secret Targs and the best candidate for secret Targ-dom is, you got it, Jon! As far as I'm concerned as long as that damn raven keeps calling him "king" it doesn't matter whether Rhaegar and Lyanna actually got married or what Elia thought about the whole mess destiny, fate, magic, GRRM, are going to make it all work.Īs for kings, both trueborn and pretenders have been dropping like flies, so there's a variety to choose from. Aegon certainly thinks he's a dragon, and he's actually bringing his act home. ![]() Dany certainly knows she's a dragon, and she obsesses about being one even if she can't get her ass in gear to conquer Westeros like one. ![]() (Actually, I think Egg did the same thing, even though he surely should have known better, and that's what caused the tragedy at Summerhall.)Īnyway, I don't think "awaken the dragon" necessarily means the birth of a dragon or a Targ, I think it might means that a Targ will "awaken" when he becomes aware of his identity and acts on that knowledge. Mel, however, makes this mistake in spades she thinks that if she literally follows a formula she can cook up a dragon. If there's anything to be learned from the Dunk & Egg stories it's that it is wrong to be literal when it comes to prophecies concerning dragons. Because seriously, it doesn't matter what snippit of prophesy gets revealed, SOMEONE is going to think it's gotta be about Jon and how special and magical he is and how he's going to inherit the whole world, it's only right, right? ![]()
