AegonTargaryen Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Okay this is really crackpot and I certainly don't think this will happen, but I thought it would be pretty epic if it did. Here goes...In the WoW as Jon is passing out from his wounds, his last vision is of three mysterious men striking down his attackers before they have a chance to kill him. When Jon awakes, wounded, he sees the three strange men standing before him. He sits up and asks them who they are.The first man takes out his sword, takes a knee, and says "I am Ser Gerold Hightower, lord commander of the kingsguard for your grandfather, king Aerys Targaryen" Second man does the same, "your grace, I am Ser Oswell Whent, member of the kingsguard"Finally the third man takes out his sword, bends the knee and says "your grace, I am Ser Arthur Dayne, loyal servant to your grandfather king Aerys Targaryen and to your father, prince Rhaegar."Gerold then explains that Ned and the kingsguard didn't fight at the tower of joy, but they agreed to give the boy to Ned to raise, and to fulfil their vows they would fake their deaths and stalk the boy should he get into serious trouble.Gerold then crowns Jon.I know, this is maddddd crackpot, but I think it would make for such a freaking epic moment. Also think it would be a cool way for the big reveal. If bran or howland tells ppl that Jon is rhaegar's everyone is sorta like "meh, you're crazy." If Gerold Hightower crowns Jon though, people would have to take that shit seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveSnow House Stark Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Ok, have to admit that this would be a cheesy moment, but hey, I'm a Jon fan so....How about change the names.Jon wakes up to see Howland Reed, Mormount, and the Blackfish standing over him. He finds out 1. he is R+L=J, 2. he finds out Robb legitimized him and named him his heir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Robin Ryger and Desmond Grell could very well be there when he wakes up and be the ones to give him the news (about Robb naming him heir, not R+J).

Light a wight tonight Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 If Jon wakes up and sees Hightower, Dane, and Whent he'll have exited the land of the living. Just sayin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatwing Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 You're right it is Crackpot and I do like it but then I think it seems too easy for GRRM, nothing is ever even relatively straight forward with him :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khal Shaggydog Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 What if Dolorous Edd is really Arthur Dayne, who took the black (and the name Edd) to stay close to the Starks the secret Targaryen heir? But yea, that's pretty crackpot. It would be more likely that Jon sees that vision, but it turns out it was Tormund and two others defending him instead of the actual dead KG.

butterbumps! Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Okay this is really crackpot and I certainly don't think this will happen, but I thought it would be pretty epic if it did.

My issue with this is less that it involves crackpots (that Dayne, Whent and Hightower are alive), but that it would turn the R+L reveal into something out of a Soap Opera coma dream/ "guess what, I'm not really dead!" shark-jump form of writing that is definitely not Martin's style. There's a number of other loose ends that can lead to the R+L reveal. I think what's being proposed is more akin to what you'd see on "As the World Turns" or the like.

daario's man Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Ser Robin Ryger and Desmond Grell could very well be there when he wakes up and be the ones to give him the news (about Robb naming him heir, not R+J).They were in RR, but Robb was at Old Stones when he came up with the idea that Jon should be his heir unfortunately. Also everyone from RR is going to hate Jon as he is an insult to Cat, the Black Fish certainly doesn't like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filleted Man Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Still not as crackpot as my Robb Stark is really Robb Bolton and lives on disguised as Ramsay, helping Roose to win the north, and writing to pink letter to get back together with Jon theory. My thread was deleted though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonNonRegis Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Gerold then explains that Ned and the kingsguard didn't fight at the tower of joy, but they agreed to give the boy to Ned to raise, and to fulfil their vows they would fake their deaths and stalk the boy should he get into serious trouble.But then the camera pulls back, and it's revealed everything in SoIaF has been happening in the mind of a small child who has been staring into a snow globe.The boy, disgusted with his own plot, then hurls the snow globe into an incinerator.His is the song of ice and fire.

The Night's Prince Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Certainly crackpot. The 3 KG faking their deaths could have happened because despite them being "honorable" EVERYONE can agree their one binding vow to protect the King and his family first and foremost would have them forsake their pride and fake their deaths to await the Return of the King...oh wait I meant the....sigh never mind.

Queen Elsa Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I would throw up if that were to happen. So cheesy,LOL!The King's Guard don't get to make up their own orders, and that imo, includes crowning someone to be a king. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
