“Game of Thrones” season 8 might premiere in 2019. This is the final season, and all the story-lines are expected to meet their conclusion. This has given fans a lot of time to anticipate what could happen next. An unidentified Reddit user and an avid “Game of Thrones” fan has now come up with a theory about Daenerys Targaryen’s dragons. The Sun cited a Forum titled 'Game of thrones: using animal symbolism to predict [spoilers]', and his theory where he talks about how he thinks Dany’s dragons will die. According to an online report, the theory seems pretty believable.
The story so far
In “Game of Thrones” season 7, Daenerys’ younger dragon Viserion was sacrificed to the Knight Kings. Viserion has changed sides to the Dead army. This means that there are only two dragons by Dany’s side. The Reddit user feels that the remaining two will be killed off in the final season. He feels that novel-writer, George R. R. Martin has addressed each of their dragons and their names according to their death tale. Daenerys named her three dragons after the important men of her life. The dragon which died at the battle with Knight King is called Viserion, who is named after her brother Vyserys. She named Drogon after her (now-dead) husband and former Dothraki king, Khal Drogo.
Meanwhile, Daenerys named Rhaegar after his older brother who goes by the same name. According to the report by The Sun, it was revealed in “Game of Thrones” season 7 that Rhaegar is actually the legitimate and biological father of Jon Snow.
Drogon's role could be significant
The user went on to suggest that Viserion met his fate due to her brother’s wicked nature.
Khal Drogo promised to conquer all the lands for her. Thus, Drogon is the most powerful dragon of them all and is expected to help Dany win many battles. He will also be the one who will come face to face with Vyserion and kill him. This will be just like when Khal Drogo ended Vyserys’ life. There is not much to know about Rhaegar.
He might be the only one surviving towards the end. Jon Snow is expected to ride Rhaegar, given his biological right. Snow is also believed to be the “Prince that was promised.” Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen married in secret, and this makes Snow the legitimate heir to the Iron Throne. Riding a dragon will give him unprecedented power and make him seem worthy of the throne. According to WinterIsComing, The show-runners of “Game of Thrones” have already begun filming the last season. They are currently in Spain and are on the look-out for some new actors to join their team.
