In just under a week, the last season of Game of thrones first, carefully joining all the difficulties and giving us the closure we expected (we hope). For many people, there's no better way to spend the next week than reading through piles and piles of predictions and theories of fans.
For the rest of you, I combed through subtitles and wiki pages, and I came out victorious. Here is the best of the predictions and theories on the end of the story for Daenerys Stormborn of the Targaryen House, first of its name, The Unburnt, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Khaleesi of the Great Sea Grass, Breaker of Chains and mother of dragons.

Daenerys is part of Azor Ahai's prophecy.
Tie yourself, my friend, because this one is a trek. Azor Ahai is the warrior who ended the long night, a terrible winter that lasted a generation. He praised the followers of the Lord of Light; they believe that he will come back and save the world from darkness, and his reincarnation is sometimes called the prince who has been promised.
How will he carry out this task? He's going to need a beautiful sword. The first Azor Ahai made his weapon, Lightbringer, stabbing his beloved wife, Nissa Nissa. You know what they say: you can not have a big sword without a sacrifice! Many fans think that Jon Snow is the reincarnation of Azor Ahai, which could make Daenerys, his current lover, the reincarnation of Nissa Nissa.
There is a twist, though. According to a separate theory, Daenerys isThe prince who was promised (the original word for "prince" is not gender specific). Reddit User ChayaFeige believe that Jon will kill her to reform Lightbringer, and she will become the Queen of the night. This is my favorite theory, I am sohere for Night Queen Dany.

Daenerys Targaryen will become the villain.
Listen, it's a disappointment, I understand that. After all she has gone through, after the distance traveled, after raising three dragons, Dany goes to King's Landing and turns into Bad boy? Reddit user nanoelite makes a good argument for that, though. Cersei and the king of the night are an evil too comical and scandalous, and are therefore too easy to fight. This show speaks of moral gray areas, the corruption of power and the terrible smell that everyone could have felt. Who is a better example of power corruption than the woman for whom we founded our roots? Abused by all who came in contact with her, who now has dragons and an entire army of mercenaries? Nanoelite sums up the situation well: "Daenerys is a bit the same thing, she is convinced that she can not make any compromises and slaughter the dissidents. She has only dragons and a moral banner to rally armies. "

Daenerys is a … real dragon?
After Night Queen Dany, it's my favorite theory. That's exactly what it looks like: Dany will become a real, living and spitting fire dragon. In one meeting Last year, Emilia Clarke alluded to the final scene of her character: "It's a shit that made me look like … know it's going to be a lasting flavor in someone's mouth." 39, one of what Daenerys is. Redditor khknola think This is a big clue: "She is who she is, not who she is. I think it's a dragon trapped in human form. "
In addition, let's go back to Season 1, when Daenerys' son, Rhaego, was born with leathery and scaly skin and wings. Who can breed a dragon, if not another dragon? You must admit that Dany is turning into a dragon (perhaps becoming "the stallion who rides the world"?) Would make a satisfying end for the Dragon Mother.
Daenerys dies during childbirth.
UGH. This theory destroys me so much. It is also super plausible. UGHHHH. As this post from Reddit by law, there were many references that Dany could not get pregnant throughout season 7. Why would they talk as much if it was not important one way or the other? ;another? Since she is struggling with fertility problems, it is not far fetched that if she became pregnant, there could be difficulties, even fatal ones.
If you want to link this theory to the Azor Ahai theory, there is room for that too. Imagine Daenerys dying slowly after giving birth; Jon stabs her to end her misery and forge her sword. (You could probably still make the jump to Dany as a Night Queen here, although I'm forced to wonder what the guard battle would look like if his child lived.) Personally, I'm not in the lurch. idea that after all she's gone through the years, that's how she's dying, but that makes some meaning.
The Targaryen curse returns home.
Any speculation on the final Eu The season would not be complete without a discussion of the Targaryen family's legacy of madness. Which brings us to this theory: Will Dany become a crazy queen? This post from Reddit highlights some of the more dubious aggressive choices she has made (including the use of Drogon to burn Lannister's forces), as well as real dragons must inflate the ego. Add to that the story of Targaryen madness (probably due to all this incest), and it's easy to see how Daenerys could go crazy. The worst thing is that she could defeat the king of the night and end up on the throne, to become all that she was trying to avoid, proving that anyone who distrusted the Targaryen name was right.
The only thing that sticks to my craw on this one: do you have seen what did Cersei do? How many crazy queens does a kingdom need?
Varys betrays Daenerys when he discovers Jon's true parentage.
At the beginning of season 7, Varys says that it serves the best interests of the people and that in the current state of affairs, the population has no better choice than Daenerys. What will happen if he learns Jon Snow's filiation? Will he still think that Dany is the best choice for the kingdom? Reddit user John-on-gliding do not think so, noting that Jon is a leader, a peacekeeper and, perhaps most crucially, "free from the fiery temperament of Dany Targaryen, his foreign army and his two destructive dragons". Varys could certainly succeed such a betrayal: he is You have the courage (or a changing morality, all that suits you) and the know-how. (Since he knows everything, however, it is possible that he already knows Jon's true filiation and that he still stays with his daughter.)
When you think about it, no one has seen Daenerys grow up and come into his power like Varys. In any other world, this theory of his lethal betrayal would pull the strings of the heart, but that is Game of thrones! We do not have time to move us. Once again, this one ends with Dany's death, so you can assume I'm going to get booed in a corner.
Sansa vs. Daenerys: There will be a huge calculation.
The teaser published in January gave a glimpse of the meeting of Sansa and Dany for the first time and prompted a serious reflection on what would happen between the two. Even if they are tempted to think that they will be bound by their various traumas and that they are powerful survivors in this political nightmare, it is very likely that they end up hating each other. Do not forget that the Targaryen did a lot of damage in the North, killing Sansa's grandfather and uncle – not to mention Lyanna Stark's kidnapping, which sparked the last war. Sansa does not currently broadcast long waves of "live and let live", which is right – she saw some things. And you can ask Littlefinger how stark justice works. (Kidding – he's dead.)
Clarke herself says Weekly entertainmentthat the two women would have an icy start: "I like to think it's like Meet the parentsClarke said, "It's like," I hope they like me, this guy is naughty, it's a very good thing we did, it's the last piece. the grandeur and dominance of the world is breathtaking. "And so I must be like," Can I braid your hair, Sansa, little Arya, come here, let's play cricket. "So, that's it. very, very fast, it's like, "Wait, is it just me, or do they hate me?"
