Rebecca Wiseman Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I read on a thread that in the books there's hints that are leading to a Dany and Arya "meeting". I can't think of any. Wonder if anyone else has any insight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espresso Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 In the Mercy chapter from WoW, Mercy/Arya wishes she could see a dragon. That is one hint she might see a dragon. Remember that she can warg to animals other than Nymeria, although so far only with cats. I read so many people speculating Bran to warg into a dragon or ride a dragon, but as of now, geographically, Arya is a better bet for that. Bran's dream from S4e1 makes me think Bran might actually warg into a dragon, but before seeing that, I was routing for Arya. To answer your post, I think Arya and Dany will meet in Volantis or Braavos, but not in Meereen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Hulboy Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I think they may meet later in westerns I think arya will be headed to wall with Massey especially when she finds out about Jon bran rickon and Sansa the Starks are gonna reunite .but I believe once Dany finds out about the others she will fly to the wall an meet her nephew Jon and his stark kin ..

LadyLiz Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I always think there is potential for a Dany/Dragon meet up whenever a character has had dialogue or POVs surrounding their desire to see, or admiration of, dragons. Therefore I think it is likely that both Tyrion and Arya will encounter Dragons at some point although I am not entirely convinced that they will be able to control them, even knowing the theories about how they would be able to.

GERM Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I read on a thread that in the books there's hints that are leading to a Dany and Arya "meeting". I can't think of any. Wonder if anyone else has any insight? Nothing concrete, just references. I personally think they will, but besides "potential" foreshadowing, I have no proof besides my opinion that the story will be diminished without a meeting between dragons and wolves.

Stormourne Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 It's Mercy who said it. I don't think it was "Arya" who said it. Remember that she is playing a part and has the personality of the face she wears. So it would be "Mercy" who would want to see a dragon, not Arya. I also wouldn't want Tyrion to ride a dragon ... I think people just want that because they just really like the character. Also, his physique would make it very difficult to ride a dragon (it would look weird.) I just can't see it happening. There are three dragons for three Targaryens. Dany and Aegon and hopefully Jon. Also, even if Aegon is a Blackfyre, why would you assume he has knowledge of the fact? Varys would be the only one to know, and he would gain nothing from telling him. Varys just seems to want to put a good "Targaryen" king on the throne, so he would tell no one because it would only cause conflict with Dany and even Lord Connington. I think that Jon's warging potential is greateer then Bran's. Why you may ask? Jon seems to be able to warg into Ghost even when his awake (he can smell what Ghost smells and feels.) Not even Bran can do that. I'd honestly rather have Jon warg into a dragon. =) all this is my opinion of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NedStark2013 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I think Arya will end up saving Danys life on mission and she was suppose to kill her and Arya will be on the run from the Faceless Men because she just cannot forget who she is. I think even cooler event would be a Arya, Dany and Tyrion team up for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio Corrado Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I think most likely Arya will be sent out on her first official mission in which after completing that mission Arya will meet up with one of the dragons that went missing. This will either lead Dany too look for her missing dragon and or after a while Dany will notice her missing dragon flying but she will also notice that the dragon having a rider who is Arya. I don't think Dany will be happy about some stranger riding one of her dragons especially when that someone turns out too be Arya Stark. Both will be put in a situation that they will have to work together and will be forced to deal with their family history before both can move forward and return too Westeros.

LadyLiz Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Btw, when I said I think that characters which spend time talking about dragons will eventually see dragons I mean just that. I did not mean that Arya or Tyrion would be riding dragons (although I acknowledge there is cause to believe that they could) I think they will likely show up in the company of Dany. I could easily see a faceless men mission bringing Arya to Dany though or an escape from the faceless men doing the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In regards to riding dragons, it's shown that only those with Targaryen blood can ride dragons. Read the novella about the Dance of Dragons war if you're curious, they had to recruit Targaryen bastards in order to utilize the other dragons.

Magnolia Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 If Daenerys dreaming of a girl running towards a red door in Bravos is more then a memory, this might also count as a connection between the two of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oprahnoodlemantra Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I wouldn't be surprised if she does meet Dany. She'll probably sent to kill a character that readers know and it would make sense if it's Dany because the rest of the major characters are in Westeros. What would be the point of sending her to Essos just to bring her back a few chapters later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pod The Impaler Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Arya did not only have some dragon foreshadowing in the sample chapter. In AGOT, she also was down amongst the dragon skulls in the Red Keep. They seemed to "look" at her with some menace at first, but later she was perfectly comfortable among them. Of course, I can also view it with some skepticism: Wanting to see or even ride a dragon is, I suspect, a common sort of wish in Westerosi society. They are not quite mythical creatures, since they clearly once existed. I imagine it is something like a kid dreaming of being an astronaut or something - many will think such thoughts childishly or whimsically, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it must foreshadow it actually happening. If Daenerys dreaming of a girl running towards a red door in Bravos is more then a memory, this might also count as a connection between the two of them. I've thought the house with the red door might be figuring into Arya's tale at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyLiz Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Like I said, I haven't ever really expected her to ride a dragon. I just think her foreshadowing with dragons indicates she will one day encounter one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you check the Targ family tree Aegon V wife is missing and there are several mentions in the book and show questioning why Eddard didn't seize the throne. They say Aegon married for love because he was the 4th in line. Who did he marry? Also, why were Robert and Eddard wards of Jon Arryn, we know Robert had a claim to the throne. Why not Eddard?

Stormourne Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 actually TPATQ gave examples of non targ riders, like Nettles and Ulf They were suspected of being Targayren bastards, though. here is some info. During the civil war, when it was decided by Prince Jacaerys Velaryon that the blacks needed more dragonriders, several "dragonseeds" on Dragonstone came forward to answer the prince's call. Nettles was able to tame the wild dragon Sheepstealer by bringing it a freshly slaughtered sheep each morning, allowing Sheepstealer to become accustomed to the girl. It is unknown if Nettles actually had Targaryen ancestry. She fought valiantly in the Battle in the Gullet. While searching the Riverlands for Prince Aemond Targaryen, Prince Daemon Targaryen took Nettles for a bedmate and made their base in Maidenpool. When Maester Norren informed them that Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen had declared her a traitor, Daemon allowed her to escape. Nettles was last seen flying Sheepstealer into the morning mists of the Bay of Crabs. "dragonseeds" would refer to Targaryen bastards. Since they were bastards, who know if they had dragonblood. But I personally believe they did. Or it would mean that anyone can just tame and ride a dragon ... I don't really like the idea of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say Aegon married for love because he was the 4th in line. Who did he marry? Also, why were Robert and Eddard wards of Jon Arryn, we know Robert had a claim to the throne. Why not Eddard? Every dragon rider was either a Targaryen or Velaryon or bastard with Targaryen blood. Just search dragon on a wiki of ice and fire and see all the known riders. During the Dance of the Dragons, Prince Jacaerys Velaryon knew that the blacks needed more dragonriders, several "dragonseeds" on Dragonstone came forward to answer the prince's call. These dragonseeds were bastards with Targaryen blood. -Born of dragonseed or seeds is a term to describe Targaryen and Velaryon bastards born of the first night law before King Jaehaerys I Targaryen outlawed the custom. Unlike the rest of Westeros, the smallfolk of Dragonstone were not upset by this custom, but viewed it as a blessing if they had a child with dragon blood from the union and celebrated the birth of such children. Mothers were given lavish gifts and were envied. Even after the first night was abolished, some Targaryens continued to sleep with Dragonstone smallfolk. -If Arya has dragonblood, then so does every other Stark and Stark before them ... so yeah ... I personally think that Lyanna and Rhaegar were the only Targaryen and Stark that had a child. Since they would be the first, it's reason to believe the Stark gene is stronger and thus, Jon has grey eyes and dark hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormourne Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 As I said before, I just don't like the idea of anyone being able to ride a dragon. That's just me, though. I'd rather Arya find Nymeria and better her warging skills. The only Stark I'd like to see ride a dragon is Jon, and that's only if R + L = J is true.
