Who will wake up the stone dragon

[Summer]

In ACOK Dani had a vision about revived stone dragon. How do you think who will give his/hers king blood to Melissandra to wake up the dragon?
Obviously it is not a Mance.

Perhaps the stone dragon has already awoken, the day Winterfell was put to the torch.

It would make sense, we've heard of the hot springs and the warm walls of winterfell and the thing that Bran "saw" and heard.

Didn't this happen when Dany 'woke' the three dragons from the stone eggs with the blood of Khal (King) Drogo?

And the Maegi. Also her son; he and the horse were sacrificed to keep Khal Drogo alive, so they were torched indirectly.

That was always my interpretation

 

[Werthead]

And Maester Aemon's in AFFC as well. Yep, I'd say this had already happened and Mel was barking up the wrong tree, like Stannis believing he's doomed when he actually saw Viserys' death in the flames, not his own.

I meant the stone dragon in Storm end. I think there is the only one stone dragon.

 

[Koopa]

you mean dragonstone? or in Winterfell

Cause there has been no mention of a dragon in Storm's End

 

[Summer]

Oooops, yes you are right. The Dragonstone.

 

[Trey Greyjoy]

If the Dragonstone suddenly come alive Im going to hurl that particular book into the fireplace and never speak GRRM's name again.

Dragonstone is an island, not an object. You wouldn't refer to Hawaii as "the Hawaii", would you?

Just how many beers would be involved first? That has bearing on the answer you know.

Yes, that's what we were talking about. The stone dragons are just statues, but they're the only thing that Melisandre can find to match the prophecy. The 'stone dragons' are 'dragons in stone', i.e. 'dragons in stone eggs', i.e. Dany's eggs.

Those three eggs came from one of the last Targaryen dragons who died and were handed down through the royal line for over a century, with little luck in awakening them until Dany managed it. That's what the prophecy referred to. Literally the dragons of Dragonstone coming to life would be a pretty implausible thing to happen.

Handed down the royal lin, where does it say that, from what i gather them from ilyrio mopatis

Isn't this concept a little too "magical" for the likes of GRRM? I never really got the waking the dragons on Dragonstone bit. Too Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame with the talking gargoyles for me...

What? That's an extremely opaque statement, Kiwi.

 

[Koopa]

when i was improving my badly written and not understandable sentence i needed an additional 7 characters to be able to make the necesarry changes before the server would post it

The whole waking stone dragons thing is a little silly IMO. I just chalk it up to something Melissandre has said to further convince Stannis he's Azor Ahai reborn, blah, blah...
Although it's too bad that there were no dragons on Dragonstone to set little Loras afire after he was soaked with hot oil...flambée rose anyone?
