"and my karma, my karma which I did not choose, my karma is to be shogun" (Toshiro Mifune, ending of Shogun, 1980) It's karma for Daenerys to become Azor Ahai and claim Westeros. Who would ever choose a dark prison and serve for eternity. It wasn't a choice of Red Door or Azor Ahai. It was dark prison or accept the job and be Azor Ahai. The Red Door she took. The house where she grew up had a red door. Red Door is Westeros. It is a part of Westeros where they dwelling in Braavod because Viserys was the king and she was the princess. The house with the red door is like Westeros in exile. I think of it like it's an embassy and a temporary residence of the royal family. Choosing Azor Ahai is a choice to return to Westeros.

Fire and ice won't cancel each other. They can separate and stay distant from one another. People return to Essos and leave Westeros to the White Walkers. Humans don't belong in Westeros. I don't know what Bloodraven has in mind for Bran but the Starks betray everybody who isn't Starks. Bran will do the same to Bloodraven. Bran will have to be killed to have any hope of humans staying in Westeros but that would skew the balance. I see separation as the better solution.

A Dance With Dragons left us on a cliffhanger with Daenerys and the Dothraki. I want to begin at the same moment. George Martin promised to bring back the Dothraki in a big way. I will hold him to that promise. I look forward to Dany's first chapter the most. Mostly because I like Drogon, I like Drogon. and I'm interested in the Dothraki.

Jon's father is Rhaegar. I never liked it. I don't believe in it. The better theory is Artur Dayne fathered Jon Snow on Lyanna Stark.
