![]() ![]() The Nights King was the 13th Lord Commander of the Nights Watch, and he ruled for 13 years. Supporting evidence 'Nights King' and 'The Great Other' both have 13 letters. The prophecy wasn’t wrong, we were just listening to the wrong notes. It has been theorized that the Nights King was an avatar of the Great Other, analogous to Azor Ahai/the prince that was promised being an avatar or champion of Rhllor. We were told of the Prince That Was Promised “his is the song of ice and fire,” and Arya could still prove that to be true. The world needed a hero to save it from dragons just as much as it needed a hero to save it from White Walkers. The Valyrian Freehold, the greatest empire the world has ever known, was built in fire and blood long before House Targaryen came to Westeros. Maybe that’s why the he couldn’t be burned, because the Night King and the dragon were equals.Įven before Daenerys murdered almost a million people in King’s Landing, dragons had killed more people than the White Walkers ever did. King’s Landing was no safer from Daenerys than Winterfell was from the Night King. A world engulfed in dragonflame is no better than a world covered in ice. They are two sides of the same coin, as both bring death and destruction. The tales the bards will sing of Arya Stark will be a story about how she saved the world from the darkness of both ice (White Walkers) and fire (the Dragon Queen). ![]() By time she returned to Winterfell, she had stopped trying to understand them at all.įans looking for a character to unite ice and fire into one harmonious, world-saving song were taking the prophecy too literally. If Arya kills Daenerys Targaryen following her descent into tyranny, she will truly be the Prince That Was Promised in a way we hadn’t considered before. Arya’s will be a song of ice and fire it will just be a song about destroying both instead of uniting them. Melisandre herself learned that lesson when Stannis died. ![]() “You have to handle them very carefully I mean, they can add depth and interest to a book, but you don’t want to be too literal or too easy.” It’s a sentiment his own characters are aware of, as they often speak of how dangerous and foolhardy it can be trying to interpret them. Martin once said prophecies are a double-edge sword. But maybe we simply hadn’t understood what a song of ice and fire really meant. Perhaps the song of ice and fire was irrelevant to the prophecy, or maybe her action proved that the whole thing was always a lie. But since killing the Night King was the entire point of the prophecy, Arya sticking her dagger in his icy belly necessitated a change in reading. Jon Snow had always been the odds-on-favorite to be the prince because, as the son of ice (Lyanna Stark) and fire (Rhaegar Targaryen), “his song” combined both elements in a way no one else’s could. Martin’s book series the show is based on, A Song of Ice and Fire. It is said of the foretold prince that “his is the song of ice and fire,” which references George R.R. But one aspect of the prophecy has always felt relevant to Game of Thrones, even if it has never been spoken aloud on the show. The show was never bound by those parameters, even though they still pointed to certain characters being Azor Ahai, especially Jon and Daenerys. We’ve been told that this great savior would be born amidst smoke and salt and would wake dragons from stone. Most of what we know about The Prince That Was Promised prophecy comes from the books. It also clearly fits the bill of the Prince or Princess having to make a sacrifice.Warning: The following contains spoilers for Game of Thrones’ “The Bells.” Somehow similar to the situation that Dany and Jon find themselves in. This also makes sense because the song 'Jenny of Oldstone' also hints at a prince sacrificing his throne for the girl he loved. So one of the explanations is that the prophecy of Azor Ahai and The Prince who was Promised are two distinct prophecies: Arya could be the Azor Ahai who will bring light after the Long Night and either Jon or Dany could be the 'Prince or Princess that was promised'. 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." Astebeteko nerbioen ostean -zer diot, beharbada urduri egon gara gudu honen existentzia ezagutu genuenetik- bart gauean HBOk bere plataforman eman zuen zortzigarren denboraldiko hirugarren atala, 'The Long Night' izenekoa. In this dread hour a warrior shall draw from the fire a burning sword. The actual prophecy states, "There will come a day after a long summer when the stars bleed and the cold breath of darkness falls heavy on the world. However, it was Arya who brought light onto the world when she ended The Night King. What this means is that this individual must be capable of waking dragons, and that leaves only Daenerys Targaryen or Jon Snow, who is originally Aegon Targaryen, in the fray. ![]()
