The Commentator Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 . . breathing shadow fire. The stone beast taking flight and breathing shadow fire is either Aegon with greyscale or Jon Snow. Shadow fire is Blackfyre. Aegon is a Blackfyre. It is the mix of light and dark, between life and death, in Jon’s case. Snow, the wild primal side of the wolf and the black of the night’s watch. He will be misrepresented as a claimant to the iron throne. Rondo, Moiraine Sedai, Finley McLeod and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reekazoid Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Nice, symbolism and word play. Breathing shadow fire perhaps could refer to Aegon spreading grayscale? The Commentator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Aegon is the cloth dragon. The third fake is Jon. We think his mind will find a new home in Ghost. But that will not be an option if Marsh and the men kill the wolf. Jon's mind would find another beast. The Others could bring their own flying friend. A wyvern or it could be a flying gargoyle. They might mistakenly transfer Jon's mind to one such creature when they resurrect his body.

Adam Targaryen Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I think it is most likely Euron, based on the prophecy / talk from him of leaping oneself from a tall tower, and the fact that he is near the Hightower in Oldtown at the moment in the books.

BalerionTheCat Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 (edited) Yes, stone beast and greyscale fit together. But I have my bet on Euron for shadow fire. Beside, "a great stone beast took wing, breathing shadow fire", is a dragon. Unless fAegon can get a dragon, or someway animate the stone dragons from Dragnonstone, it's not him.

Corvo the Crow Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Wasn't it established that the great stone beast that took wing was Jon con, who will become one of the stonemen due to his greyscale and has as his sigil a winged monster, griffin and also the shadow fire he breathed was fAegon Blackfyre?

Rosetta Stone Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 The stone beast is another zombie creature. Bran saw a vision of a giant wearing stone armor. We know this to be Gregor Clegane zombified into Robert Strong after his death. The giant is full of thick, black blood. Qyburn used dark magic to bring him back to life. The giant is powered by dark magic. Jon is the future stone beast. He will be filled with black fire because Mellisandre will use dark magic to turn him into a zombie. The visions are symbols based on what the seer can understand. Bran being a Stark will eventually know what black blood means. Black blood is dark magic. Dany is a Targaryen and she will figure out that the black fire spewing from the stone beast is the black magic powering Jon. Mellisandre is a shadow binder and this black fire comes from the shadow magic of Asshai. Shadow will power Jon Snow. Jon's trump card is Ghost. He will not lose himself like Gregor. His will and his consciousness will be safely inside Ghost. Understand what the vision is. It is about pretenders who are unwillingly taking Dany's place. It's not the fault of Stannis. He is being manipulated. We can't blame Rhaegar for believing himself the prince who was promised. It was an honest mistake. Nor can we blame Aegon for believing he is the heir to King Aerys II. He only knows what he was told. Stannis, Aegon, and Jon in succession will believe they are Azor Ahai. Dany's existence will prove them wrong.

Darth Sidious Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 If I recall, Jon has gray eyes. The color of Stan’s eyes are highlighted in the vision. Stone is gray, so that is a clue pointing to Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rondo Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 The order of the revelations is important to understand the meaning. Stannis matches the blue-eyed king without a shadow. The second is the cloth dragon on poles, Aegon. The third has to be Jon Snow. The sword and Stannis go together. False dragon and Aegon. The Wall and Jon are together. A man without a shadow is not real. A prop dragon is not the real thing. And a shadow fire is not really fire.

Stannis, Aegon, and Jon. Jon is the beast. The blood of the dead is corrupted. Blackened blood. Jon is black in many other ways. He's a black brother so there is that symbolic connection. He wears the black. He took the black. He will die from his injuries and he will come back. But nobody comes back whole. There are always permanent damage. His will be physical and probably mental too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craving Peaches Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 (edited) I really don't think the stone beast is a person unless it's Euron. I think it is metaphorical. About greyscale or something. Edited September 29, 2022 by Craving Peaches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
