If the dragons are Lightbringer it would explain why dragons are included in the prophecy when they had nothing to do with the original Azor Ahai. And it took the sacrifice of what she loved most to bring them into the world, making Drogo her Nissa Nissa. Further, it took Dany three tries to burgeon them (once on a brazier, once during a fever dream, and finally on Drogo’s pyre) just as it took Azor Ahai three tries. They are a weapon that gives off heat and light. And Xaro literally calls the dragons a “flaming sword above the world”. Many people have backed the theory that the dragons are Lightbringer as they were what was “pulled from the flames” by “a warrior” (yes, Dany is a warrior, she won/wears her Dothraki warrior bells, has commanded three battles, and has been referred to as a 'warrior queen’ by GRRM). She also sacrificed her unborn son who had her royal blood. Dany used the pyre of Drogo, a Dothraki king. It is also mentioned by Mel that a “king’s blood” is needed for this to occur when she wanted to use Edric Storm to wake the stone dragons. The dragon eggs were petrified, literally turned to stone, and from them hatched three dragons. Further, Aemon has a dream (possibly a dragon dream) about a “bleeding red star” and dragons.Īgain, this coincides perfectly with the last two, and happens quite literally. The rebirth in smoke and salt and the bleeding star happen together. Further the Dothraki called the comet shierak qiya which means “bleeding star”. Dany was the first character to see it and called it “a herald of my coming” (Melisandre says Azor Ahai shall be “heralded by a bleeding star”). The night Dany walked into that pyre, the red comet took to the sky. The other option is the 'rebirth’ theory which is fulfilled by Dany’s night on Drogo’s pyre: salt from her tears and smoke from the fire. The first option is Dany’s actual birth (meaning the reincarnation interpretation) at Dragonstone, a volcanic island on the ocean, a place of smoke and salt (Mel thought so). This is twofold for her depending what you think 'reborn’ means. While all assumed that the prince must be male, Aemon recently came to believe the prophecy could point to a female as well.ĭany is the daughter of Aerys and Rhaella so she is obviously directly descended from that line. His is the song of ice and fire, according to Rhaegar TargaryenĪccording to Maester Aemon, the word used to describe the prince in the prophecy was a gender-neutral word. Will be born of the line of Aerys II and Rhaella, according to the woods witch “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.”Īdditional info that is not in the prophecy: 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.” In this dread hour a warrior shall draw from the fire a burning sword. “There will come a day after a long summer when the stars bleed and the cold breath of darkness falls heavy on the world. Interesting though the theories are, until showrunners David Benioff and DB Weiss decide to reveal whether Azor Ahai has truly returned and who he or she is viewers, theories they’ll remain.There is an endless debate within the fandom of who Azor Ahai is and sometimes it honestly feels like that the prophecy is used as some sort of popularity contest between Dany and Jon, but let's take look of what we know of the prophecy so far and on how well it fits to both Dany and Jon. There are also theories that other characters could be ‘the prince that was promised’ – these include Arya, who has undergone several rebirths to become a faceless assassin, Bran who has special powers that could help him save the Seven Kingdoms, Beric Dondarrion – who can handle a flaming sword without protection, Gendry – Robert Baratheon’s bastard, a blacksmith with the skills to forge a suitable sword.
