The Dragon Has Three Heads

The discussion on lifespans is OT, however interesting. Please take it to another forum.

Dead dragon, way not? They aren’t powerful (jet). Somebody can easily kill one of them. And then there are 2 …

 

[Faceless Woman]

Quoth. And I don't see the point in killing a dragon, same as I don't see the point in a dead Brienne, whereas I do see a point in a dead Ned.

 

[stonStark]

Way are you looking for a point? The dragon eat a child... i say:WAY NOT

huh?
I don't mean to be rude but what in blazes are you on about?

 

[the smiling weirwood]

What I meant was if you can lose a child to gain a dragon, why not the other way around?

 

[stonStark]

Everybody is looking for three riders. But what if one dragon dies before Danny found a rider for him?? Dragons need riders fast, they aren't trained, and they are killing people.

what you meant ???

She means that life can pay for life. I suddenly see a point.

 

[Valko]

Oh I see, sorry.

Could Stanis not be one of the heads or will he have his own dragon? It's been ages and several books ago that I read Crows, so I apologise if I'm way of the mark.

 

[Faceless Woman]

Stannis!? Stannis!?
Oh, seven save me! Stannis! Never. Stannis is not Targ, nor would Dany ever have such bad taste and bad sense as to give Stannis a dragon. Perhaps you were thinking of someone else: Stannis is Melisandre's puppet king, Robert's brother. You must be thinking of someone else. You must.

The chief trouble with being a tree seems to be a great deal of gender confusion....

 

[Faceless Woman]

Didn't you say you were a girl, at one point? No? Sorry, sir.

At the risk of bringing the thread back on topic....everyone is assuming that Daenerys will be one of the three heads. I think that it would fit well with GRRM's track record so far if Dany did not survive to see her dragons reclaim Westeros and defeat the Others. I can easily imagine her recruiting one other dragonrider (quite possible Tyrion) and that rider then having to recruit a further two following Dany's death (at the hand's of Jorah Mormont, maybe, but that's just wild speculation on my part). Maybe Jon and Bran?

I forget the nature of the prophecy regarding PTWP/AA. Does PTWP/AA have anything to do beyond reclaiming the weapon that can defeat evil? If not, then Dany has already fulfilled that prophecy and is expendible. And even that is assuming that the prophecy has to be fulfilled which, given GRRM's fondness for subverting genre tropes, is not a given.

Thinking while I'm typing here, so a lot of this may be garbage. If so, apologies.

 

[Faceless Woman]

If by the weapon that can defeat evil you mean the dragons, you may have a point, but only if TPTWP and AA are the same thing. Actually, I think only Azhor Ahai can weild the fiery weapon, as only Dany can control the dragons, so I think she has to be alive.
My thought is that the third head doesn't actually have to be a Targ. Maybe Tyrion telling Jon that he dreamed of dragons was a set up for Jon begging Dany to make him the third head, on the basis of their friendship. Also thinking while I type, which explains any inconsistancies.
I like Bran as a dragonrider, btw, but I think he will find his wings as a Warg instead. Not a whole lot of point in wolves and Hodors if you have dragons.

May R'llor take you with his fire for speaking such blasphemy.

Poor Stannis. You get the impression he was never hugged as a child.

I'm surprised he has any teeth left, he seems to be grinding them continually.
On a serious note, I can see Stannis making up for his sins by sacrificing his life. Not that he has any intention of doing that now, but I can see a last minute redemption attempt occuring. Maybe.

I used to grind my teeth whenever I was in a stressful moment in my life- I even did it during my sleep. I would wake up with strangely sensitive teeth, baffled about why until I ended up having a long talk with my dentist.

Danny has to find riders now; the riders can’t be so far geographically (on the wall like Jon). The riders had to be in same city as Danny or near. I think Danny will ask that guy (that is supposable Targ (he sad so)) to help her with dragons. Maybe she asked that girl M. (don’t want to spell it wrong) to, but her dragon will die (three dragons are to much).
