Hippocras Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 As Davos pointed out in E4, it is weird that the Lord of Light just disappeared after all that. So... chances are he didn't or they wouldn't have written a scene with Davos commenting on it. With Melisandre gone I really don't know HOW R'hllor is going to make his comeback in the show, but I am very sure he will. The prophesy always said that a hero would come to "wake dragons from stone". Melisandre zeroed in on Stannis initially because he was indeed King Robert's true heir AND he was based on Dragonstone. She knew that Dragonstone was important, as a place in her visions, and I don't think it was just because there is dragonglass on Dragonstone. Added to this the show has also made note of Dany's interest in how Jon was killed and revived. Now, Rhaegal was shot to death with scorpions just off the shore of Dragonstone. So... what if the comeback of the Lord of Light comes in the form of Rhaegal being revived from the dead just as Jon was, with fire and blood magic. Dany hatched her dragons by burning a witch alive. Maybe she will revive Rhaegal by burning Varys alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulh_85 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 interesting theory. I think the "wake dragons from stone" line could hit the nail on the head there, but for some reason i just dont see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen'ari Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 It would be cool if Rhaegal came back, especially with how pissed off he would be at Euron, but I can’t see it, the bolts in his torso Maybe, but the one through his neck then crashing into the sea, can’t really see him coming back from that one.

btfu806 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Sadly, I don't think we are going to get much explanation into The Lord of Light. I am going to say that R'hllor is pretty much done. But who knows, I could definitely be wrong.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon's wounds were just as serious. Jon was well and truly dead. Becoming a fire wight, revived by the fire god does not require that one still be alive or have wounds that are reasonable to recover from.

I am pretty sure you are, or Davos would not have had that whole conversation with Tyrion at the feast. If the show wants us to forget about something, they don't bring it up.

paulh_85 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 could have been there to double down on the skepticism Davos has always had for the Red God. It wouldnt shock me if nothing significant came from the Gods in the books either, but i do like the idea of Rhaegal coming back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s true but Jon had a red priest there straight away and wasn’t at the bottom of the sea either, like I say it would be cool if Rhaegal came back but I’m doubtful to be honest.

But maybe she is pregnant... One direction I could see the pregnancy talk going: Remember Stannis was upset that he didn't have a son and Shireen was so damaged. Melisandre was able to use that disappointment to convince him that he could make a son with her...and he did. Shadow baby. Dany may have similar feelings. Another one of her children just died, and maybe even Drogon will as well. So maybe a Red Priest shows up at Dragonstone and convinces her to make a baby.

There is the red priest character that we saw two seasons ago? I can't remember her name, she was in Mareen though? I think... Anyway, maybe she makes her way over with Daario or something? I really thought we would be seeing him before this was done... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the show wants us to forget about something, they don't bring it up. I think that conversation was intended for us, the viewers, to urge us not to think about this stuff too hard; something they have been suggesting for the better part of 3 seasons now, unfortunately.

Maester Vargo Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 If anyone is bringing Rhaegal back, it'll be Qyburn. Because the show is this dumb and Qyburn is the smartest, greatest person ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianna Dorenberg Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I really wish this to be true. Then we cut to Jon riding him and bringing the Targaryen in him to war and wrecking the Golden Compass and Lannisters. BUT....don't get your hopes up. D&D have been clear on how they view magic. They got rid of all of them in the quickest, lamest way possible. They simply do not care for it and it shows. They're gonna kill off Drogon soon as well.

That was why the horse was brought into the tent etc. Dany quoted the witch back to her when she put her on the pyre, so there was nothing accidental about it. I agree that Dany hatched fossilized dragon eggs and that may be all there is to that. But I am not sure. I am very sure fire magic is not finished, and Rhaegal's revival is one idea for how it comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
