I know I know Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Good question.I've always taken it to mean that she's the child of both her parents, and also the storm which raged at her birth.I'm of two minds as to who the (elsewhere, less subtly referenced) storm god is exactly, but my current thinking is that the storm god of the Ironborn is not a synonym for R'hllor, or the Great Other. Some think that she might be Morrigan, I'm not sure about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady-Nymeria Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Daenerys thinks it's related to Aegon the Conqueror: he had 2 sisters, and together they were 3, and each of them had one dragon to mount, and was "a head of the dragon that conquered Westeros". She has 3 dragons, but she stands alone. Her 2 brothers are dead, and she doesn't know who will stand by her and be the other 2 heads of her dragon. It could be Jorah, or any other character who appears later in the series and happens to root for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Demon Monkey Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I saw it kinda like she is mother to her dragons, but in a way she is so dependent on them that she is their child as well.My out-the-box take on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Acorns Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I thought this might refer to the fact that she was one of three siblings. Well, that was before I got on this forum and that idea seems somewhat prosaic now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bestkeptsecret Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I'm not sure if this is too far out but I was thinking that maybe the "child of three" could refer to Rhaegar being her father, not Aerys. The Targs have never been afraid of incest, although this kind would be notably more taboo, but George is a pretty wild guy sometimes. The piece that made me think about this conclusion is Dany's vision in that same chapter of Rhaegar talking about the baby Aegon having a song, and its the Song of Ice and Fire, but also that the dragon has three heads and there must be another. Could child of three refer to Rhaella, Aerys II, and Rhaegar and Dany, Jon and Aegon be Rhaegar's three headed dragon children? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't Aegon where Rhaegar wwas talking to, it was Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bestkeptsecret Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 So you are saying Jon's real name is Aegon Targ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Chief Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 first, the targarian sigle is a dragon with three heads, also it refers to a proficy later (only a bit of a spoiler) that says the three headid dragon will reclaim westroce. now in this world no dragons ever actually had 3 heads, this refers too that she hatches 3 dragons, each needing a rider, and each dragon x rider combonation being one head of this dragon. so she must have three dragons and three riders (including herself) to conquer westrose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
