"Game of Thrones" actress Emilia Clarke (aka Daenerys Targaryen) may not be directly spoiling events for the show’s fans, but she may be helping them out with small clues. It can be recalled that she recently posted a selfie with actor Kit Harington, (aka Jon Snow) where they were revealed to be in an icy location and wearing winter clothes. This confirmed that the Mother of Dragons and the King of the North will join forces and fight White Walkers beyond the Wall.
This time around, the actress took to Instagram again to show a funny clip of Jon Snow fooling around on set.
However, fans think that this could be an indication of bigger things to come for the King of the North, Cnet reported.
Targaryen blood?
Emilia Clarke’s post was taken a few moments after the epic scene where Jon Snow comes face to face with Daenerys’ dragon Drogon for the first time. In the scene, Jon looks the dragon straight in the eye and gingerly touches its face successfully. Fans believe that the dragon allowed Jon to do so because it sensed Jon’s Targaryen blood.
Based on the R+L=J theory that “Game of Thrones” is currently unfolding, Jon is not the bastard son of Ned Stark but is actually the child of Rhaegar Targaryen with Lyanna Stark. It was also earlier believed that Rhaegar kidnapped Lyanna, which sparked Robert Baratheon’s rebellion, but an entry from the diary of High Septon Maynard hinted otherwise.
The High Septon actually confirmed that Rhaegar annulled his marriage to Elia Martel to wed Lyanna before Jon's birth.This makes Jon Rhaegar Targaryen’s legitimate heir. This also gives him a higher claim to the Iron Throne than Daenerys, who is believed to be the youngest daughter of the Mad King.
Jon will ride his own dragon
Emilia Clarke’s Instagram post shows Kit Harington flapping his cape repeatedly and imitating a dragon. “I mean, JEEEZE, one pet of a dragon and he thinks he's one of them,” the actress captioned her post.
With the recently leaked videos for “Game of Thrones” Episode 6 confirming that the Night King will be able to kill Viserion and turn him into the ice dragon, only two of Daenery’s dragons will remain.
Fans are hoping that Jon Snow will be able to mount Rhaegal, who is named after Dany’s eldest brother Rhaegar.
Fans believe that it would be an epic moment for Jon Snow to ride a dragon named after his father. With Jon’s abilities to tame the dragon and his recent alliance to Daenerys, the possibilities for an epic season ender for the penultimate season remains strong.
