Targaryen Restoration

Arya is already close to losing it all.

The kings had flaming swords so they were earlier versions of Azor Ahai. They failed. Dany will be successful. The Jon-Arya, Nightsking-Nightsqueen dynamic will continue. Jon will be the Corpse King though. The Others will bring him back and it will be Arya who will be lured to him.

The ignorant teaching the ignorant.

Jon and Ghost. He should not get to live a second time.

Jon is more likely to go mad. His bad temper and poor emotional control make him edgy. We saw that during the banquet for Robert in Winterfell. Its ugly head came up again when he attacked Ser Aliser. Jon also lack the intellect to govern. I can appreciate what he did for Samwell but beyond that I have a rather low opinion of Jon.

It's really Jon and the Starks who must die in order to bring order back to Westeros. Look back historically and it is the Starks who have rebelled twice and caused problems. It was Jon Snow who betrayed the brotherhood of the night's watch and single-handedly brought destruction. Catelyn kidnapped Tyrion and began the War of the Five Kings. Wighted Jon and Woody Bran are the ones who let the White Walkers into Westeros.

There is no reason other than the story went in that direction. Martin must not have considered it important. If they were having trouble having children in their twenties then the same problem would apply in their thirties.

It's very disturbing to think about. Arya's career at killing has just begun. She is learning more ways to kill and she is numb to it. The deaths of a million people in King's Landing is not going to bother Arya because she has no conscience left.

Jon's challenge was also smaller. He should have succeeded but he failed. He was so sucky at his job that even the most loyal of the men stabbed him to save the watch from his rule.

I think each stone is the House sigils of families. The families of Westeros have sigils and banners. The ruling class making up the old Empire of the Dawn used gemstones as family symbols. Dany's dawn family were not called Targaryen. They were simply referred by the color of their family stone. Think of the stones like birthstones except they were familystones. There are heroes, villains, and in betweens. The Amethyst clan are the protagonists. This clan became the Targaryen family of our Dany. The Velaryons and Celtigars are also heroes who serve the Amethyst House. Most of the clans are in between.

Arya Stark will have to die for a peace treaty between the two families. Which is fine by me. The Freys will have the moral high ground if Arya starts killing them. The Starks will have no moral ground to stand on.

Dany would be my pick to rule Westeros. I like her too much to wish for her to stay in Slavers' Bay. That place is full of really evil people but it is a good training ground for a person who will rule.
