![]() This is the root of the prophecy of the “Prince That Was Promised.” The legend holds that Azor Ahai will be reborn when the long night comes again, to drive the darkness away. On his third attempt, he successfully tempered the sword by driving it into the heart of his lover, Nissa Nissa, killing her. First, he tempered it in water and then in the heart of a lion, but with each of these attempts, the sword shattered. It tells of the long night when Azor Ahai drove the White Walkers to the far North with his flaming sword, the Lightbringer, thus defeating the darkness.Īzor Ahai forged Lightbringer three times. The legend of Azor Ahai is at least 5,000 years old. So, how does Azor Ahai’s legend of the Chosen One fit in with the potential candidates? The Legend and Prophecy Azor Ahai The most popular fan theories have identified Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow as the most likely candidates to fulfill the prophecy of “ The One That Was Promised.” However, other fans insist that there may be some unlikely candidates in the running as well. The hero is said to be born again “amid salt and smoke,” and they will “wake dragons out of stone.” It’s unclear how this applies to Arya, but I think that the answer may be complicated.SPOILER ALERT: This article contains spoilers for Season 7 of Game of Thrones.Īs Season 7 of Game of Thrones comes to an end, many fans are left wondering if there is a Chosen One. Now, other pieces of the Azor Ahai prophecy are hard to align with Arya. The fact that she felt she had completed what she had set out to do has to signify that Arya is, in fact, the Azor Ahai. But after flaming the Dothraki swords, setting flame to the wood in the moat, and guiding Arya to her destiny, Melisandre went to die. She risked the lives of innocents and failed everyone after supporting Stannis, who clearly wasn’t the chosen one. Lastly, Melisandre’s whole existence was about finding the Azor Ahai. It is at this moment she realizes she’s the one that needs to kill the Night King. Funny enough, it is the Night King who brings death with him everywhere he goes. What do we say to the God of Death? The answer is “not today,” but given that Melisandre plucked this phrase she couldn’t know had meaning to Arya from the air, then it obviously was said for an important reason.Īrya’s training has included telling the God of Death that she’s not ready yet. It all seemed to ring bells in Arya’s head when Melisandre utters the words that Arya’s instructor Syrio had asked her every day of her training. When Melisandre said it carefully to Arya for the second time she was breaking down what she wanted Arya to understand. The prophecy wasn’t only a foreshadowing. It is the blue undead eyes of Night King. And it seems that the blue-eyed victim isn’t someone with eyes like Tormund. ![]() But in fact, it is possible the Melisandre was actually pinpointing specific victims of importance. She’d killed different people with different eye colors in a revenge mission with the help of the Many-Faced God. Arya has been on an intentional killing spree for a while. We will meet again.”Īt first, Melisandre’s prophecy seemed to be a general observation of the secret no one knew about Arya. And in that darkness, eyes staring back at me. But the more reasonable assumption is that Beric was protecting Arya back then and his mission to save Arya started soon after he began to be resurrected. It could have been an incident that happened so that Beric could warm up to the girl in preparation for the moment that he would risk his life for her. If you take the story back to shortly after Ned Stark’s death, you’ll remember that Beric captured Arya when he was the leader of the Brothers Without Banners. ![]() Related Story: 7 Supernatural mysteries still to figure out in Game of Thrones If Arya is the Azor Ahai, then Beric is her Lightbringer since the next lines of the prophecy say that “he who clasps it shall be Azor Ahai come again.” Not only is Lightbringer possibly Beric’s sword but Lightbringer could be Beric himself. The Lightbringer prophecy has always been a feasible idea because Beric Dondarrion has been wielding a flaming sword since he was first resurrected. But the answer to the identity of Lightbringer was in front of us the whole time in plain sight. Some have guessed that Jaime Lannister’s golden hand could burst into flames and others have speculated that Lightbringer will be a sword that we’ve already seen. One of the things that GoT fans have always predicted is that there will be a trick behind Lightbringer.
