Ser Illin' Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 So much has been made of Dany's maybe miscarriage out on the Dothraki Sea, and whether this indicates that she is incapable of having children, or is capable but ate bad berries, etc. And this got me thinking... what if she had brought this maybe child to term? Would that mean that MMD was wrong? "When your womb quickens again, and you bear a living child. Then he will return, and not before."I'll answer my own question. Drogo and Dany will be reunited in the night lands, after Daenerys dies birthing a living child, the heir to the Seven Kingdoms. Thoughts? This does of course assume that MMD gave Dany a real prophecy and wasn't just throwing cruel words around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Wun Wun Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Could it just be a play on words (kind of)? Instead of when Drogo returns to her, it refers to when her dragon with a similar name, Drogon, returns to her? If that is the case then the prophecy has been fulfilled.The (dothraki) sea has gone dry, the sun has risen in the west (Dorne) and set in the east (Quentyn), the mountains (great pyramids destroyed by the dragons) blow in the wind like leaves and Dany seems to have had a child growing in her womb (which she miscarried). ADWD ended with Drogon returning to aid her when she was probably about to die of the flux, starvation or at the hands of those Dothraki scouts.The only problem I see with this theory is that the prophecy says 'when you bear a living child', and unless I'm confused about the meaning of the word 'bear' in this context, I think it means she has to actually give birth to a child. I'm not sure just conceiving one is the same. That theory of Dany dying in childbirth would fulfill that part, so maybe you got it right, I don't know :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueless Northman Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I sure hope he won't and stays dead.Now of course, some will wonder if the TV series' own self-made vision of Drogo and kid in the House of Undying can be a hint - "D/D know where GRRM is going so they can foreshadow stuff readers don't know".Though, as far as I'm concerned, the only way I could interpret this as based on stuff GRRM would actually have told the producers is if Jon would become Dany's future love interest, replacing Drogo - mostly based on the fact that see meets her dead love interest beyond the Wall.

Victarions Secret Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Please let mr. Drogo stay dead. We have to many dead people walking around at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabronius Maximus Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Yeah with the blood magic of MMD - life must pay for life, and I think Drogo's life paid for Drogon's. Therefore Drogo is backQED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MystaRiven Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 drogos return is not litteral, in my opionion it was ment in the sense of his people and khalasar.I think the end of aDWD supports this nicly, and we are now seeing the 'return of drogo.' Dany is about to lay down the hurt on Mago and reclaim the khalasar.As far as I know the requirements for his returns have all already come to pass.

Not_a_Lady_Brienne Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Crackpot possiblities:1. MMD knew that Dany would also take the berries and not carry her child to term2. Dany will not birth a living child but will birth a dead one (like the half-human half-Others in Old Nan's story) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ravenfrost Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 How could Drogo come back? He was burned on a pyre I'm pretty sure. I don't think even a red priest could resurrect him. I think it would be the equivalent jumping the shark for Martin to inflict this on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushido Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 That was a possibility had Dany left Drogo in his vegitative state. But,she killed him,and put an end to this prophecy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinket2 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I don't think Drogo will return. I think MMD's prophecy was telling the truth about what would happen, but that was before Dany decided to off Drogo.The prophecy was pretty specific that when all those conditions were met, Drogo would return to Dany.Considering that Drogo was cremated, it's not very likely he'll return in zombie form. If Dany hadn't killed him though, it's possible he might have been healed by the time the conditions of the prophecy were fulfilled (as they may be in ADWD). The prophecy told her when Drogo would return, but when she decided to kill Drogo she interfered with it and the prophecy became something that might have happend but won't. So Dany herself, by misinterpreting the prophecy as 'never', unintentionally made it so that part of the prophecy will never come true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Net-Viper X Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 When the witch said that about Drogo, she was referring to a return from his lobotmized state to his normal self. Dany shit that up when she killed him and burned his body, no coming back from that I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
