How will Dany & dragons get to Westeros to fight Others?

[The Holy Goat]

Dragonglass is another name for obsidian. Obsidian is a material which is found here on Earth as well, but in GRRM's world it has magical properties. And no, there is nothing to suggest that the Others are more vulnerable to dragonfire than any human is.

[Mish Windage]

I'd like to think that thing with Tyrion making Bran's saddle kinda foreshadowed one of those two to be a dragon rider.

Wonder how much weight a dragon can carry?

Wonder if there can be enough control over them to make a MASSIVE barge type thing, yoke them to the dragons in a tri configuration, and just Fly whatever armies on their flying barge.

Or make several trips over a week or so to some remote portion of westeros, where even if spotted flying there they have time before anyone can go attack them.

Or if there's a blizzard... just 1 dragon should do the trick. Arrows no good with the winds and visibility... reduce the leaders to carbon and you don't have to take on the army.

Maybe she becomes Queen of Essos and gives up on Westeros, and uh... Jamie or Jon or something becomes King in Westeros, and they just marry. (that made me laugh)

Wonder why she's never considered trying to make some deal with the Iron Bank?

I still hold onto the belief that the dragons are going to go beserk and start attacking Westeros/Esso's on their own, leaving Dany with Drogon to stop her children (would make a bittersweet ending, don't you think?)

There are already signs of Rhaegal and Viseron going beserk and acting on their own after all.

Think about this for an ending....

The Dragons are beserk, killing everything...BUT they are the only things that could stop the WW. Dany is with Drogon trying to conquer Westeros, but she has to deal with the internal conflict of killing her "children" before they destroy the kingdom. Everyone wants to stop the WW, but the only thing that CAN stop them is the very beserk dragons that are destroying everything. This would leave Westeros to, in an odd twist of fate, team up with the WW to put an end to Rhaegal and Viseron, while trying to save themselves from Dany/Drogon at the same time.

It's going to be Dany/Drogon vs. Rhaegal/Viseron vs. Westerosi vs. White Walkers vs. Nights Watch.

I'm beginning to wonder if Danny will make it to Westeros. With just two books left it doesn't leave a lot of space for her to untie the Merenese knot, decide to travel to Westeros, somehow get there, then fight the Others. I think she'll end up mounting Essos.

It looks like fighting the Others is a job left for Jon and Bran.

All the fanboys who kicked and screamed when Martin planned on having a break between books will be to blame.

I read that the start of the original 4th book following the 5 year break was going to be Dany landing on the shore of Westeros. This has clearly changed but she'll make it to Westeros and will fight the Others at the Trident.

Tyrion has Targ blood. I'm pretty sure of that now. Way too much foreshadowing of him loving Dragon's, the special seat etc. He'll be one of the three heads.

[Lord Damian]

I do not think Dany will fight the Others, they will be stopped before she heads North after Taking King's Landing to force the Stark factioin to bend the knee or kill them. She will fail in that endevour.

[FireAndBlood.]

Black ice is not obsidian. Frozen fire is obsidian.

Lol do you know what obsidian looks like? Black ice.

[Arkash]

I'd love Dany to ride (or fly) even further East, to the Five Forts and beyond in the lands where the Lion of the Night demons road and discover more about the regions there and how they will deal with Winter (we know myths of the Long Night run across Essos, meaning the whole continent has dealt and will deal again with Winter) before coming around and landing in Westeros from the East.

But that would take too much time, more likely she'll show up at Dorne or Dragonstone mid-book 6.

[The Sword of the Darkness]

The simple answer to this thread is: they won't fight the Others. The dragons won't see the end of this series, they'll kill each other and someone is shooting one of them down in battles.

[Justin Amey]

By Boat! :D

[Ramsays Fleyed Lips]

I thought the story was about a balance between ice and fire? If Ice is represented by this army of Others then fire should be equally represented by giant dragons. Seems right to me that both sides will balance each other out? We no nothing about the Others. Maybe they are the force that can control the dragons? Maybe the dragons just need the will of destined riders. Oh geez, if Tyrion ends up riding we could very well find out exactly where whores go.

I'm not sure Dany will ever fight the Others, but the dragons might. Remember Dany is now Drogon's rider, she only have one dragon. The other two could well be used by someone fighting the Others.
