“Game of Thrones” Season 7 finale made fans impatient to witness the Night King (Vladimir Furdik) and his White Walkers taking the North after the new-transformed Viserion blew down the Wall. The Wall had been separating humanity from these dangerous Wights.
And now that it is destroyed, the big question is, what is going to happen next in “Game of Thrones” Season 8? The television show is more hyped than ever with the incoming attack by the Army of the Dead.
As things about the series are sacredly under wraps, one Reddit user predicted the Night King’s plan as he is now on the move.
Theorizing Night King’s plan
"I predict the Night King is going directly to the Gods Eye,” the Reddit user wrote (via the Independent).
Gods Eye is the largest body of water in Westeros, located in the heart of the Riverlands. It is said to be mysterious as the Isle of Faces lies at its very center, where the Children of the Forest, who created the White Walkers, and the First Men signed the Pact.
The Pact is the deal between the two races to join hands in peace. The user theorized that the Night King wants to reach the Isles of the Faces to use its magical powers to bring his dead army to life.
The Eastwatch-by-the-Sea is their nearest route to get to their destination.
In fact, the user even hinted that “Game of Thrones” writers have been dropping clues about the Gods Eye from the start when they were talking about the Riverlands with major details. To recall, the place was first mentioned in the first season when Tywin (Charles Dance) named Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) the Hand of the King. The Lord of House Lannister then went to Harrenhal, which is located near the lake.
Bran warging as the Night King
It remains to be seen if the Night King really wants to bring his dead army alive. But, according to news.com.au, this assumption has a connection to the popular theory that Bran (Isaac Hempstead Wright) is actually the White Walker’s leader.
“Bran orchestrates everything to bring peace to Westeros,” another theorist predicted.
Allegedly, the only way that the now-youngest Stark can do it is by becoming the evil Night King, gathering all the dead army, and bringing them to the Gods Eye. There, the Children of the Forest’s curse will be destroyed. The Wights will then return to their human features before they meet their deaths.
Fans should only take these assumptions with a grain of salt as HBO and people behind the television series have yet to confirm this theory. “Game of Thrones” Season 8 is expected to return in 2019 at the latest.
