Game of Thrones is going to be one big WTF – that much we know. But of all the wild theories out there this one not only takes the biscuit, but is also getting a lot of support from the fandom.
In the likely event that Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen will marry at some point in season eight, all signs are pointing to The Mother of Dragons’ death.
Science has ruled it, as has the prophecy of The Prince That Was Promised – should Jon turn out to be Azor Ahai, which is looking increasingly certain day by day, and was basically confirmed by George RR Martin.
Now a Redditor has predicted not only will Daenerys die, but she’ll be taken by The Night King and become The Night Princess and seriously what are we in for?
‘I don’t know if this is one of the existing theories, but it came to my mind so I wanted to share it with you,’ began Arcaroth.
‘The Night King wants his Night Prince/Princess that was promised to take him/her up to the lands of always winter. The men will first lose the battle of Winterfell and then Cersei/Daenerys conflict will happen and Night King will rise all the dead they leave behind… Daenerys will be killed in that major fight at the Isle of Faces/King’s landing.
‘Jon will use the same technique as Children used on Benjen and will stab her through her heart with a piece of dragonglass. This will revive her and she will leave far north with NK to become the Night Queen and give birth to her and Jon’s baby (prince/princess) which will one day become the next Night King.
‘Jon will become the ruler of Seven kingdoms, with his dragon Rhaegal. Daenery’s fire will become ice, the icy Snow will become the fiery Targaryen. They will again bring balance to the world of ice and fire.’
Well, what do you make of that?
The Reddit fans are all for it. What’s more, Maisie Williams warned the finale will be completely ‘unexpected’, which fits the bill for a Dany and Night King romance, while Gwendoline Christie insisted the last episode would be therapy-inducing.
Game of Thrones returns to HBO and Sky Atlantic on April 14, while seasons one to seven are currently available to stream on NOW TV.
