The Stallion That Mounts the World

"As swift as the wind he rides, and behind him his khalasar covers the earth, men without number, with arakhs shining in their hands like blades of razor grass. Fierce as a storm this prince will be. His enemies will tremble before him, and their wives will weep tears of blood and rend their flesh in grief. The bells in his hair will sing his coming, and the milk men in the stone tents will fear his name." The old woman trembled and looked at Dany almost as if she were afraid. "The prince is riding, and he shall be the stallion who mounts the world."


This passage is about Dany's child, taken by the mouth of one elderly in the dosh khaleen, is very interesting because it shows how profecies are not infallible, and they could prove themselves wrong, or fail, if some other external force is at work. This profecy will never become real, because Dany has lost her deadborn son Rhaego. Or maybe this isn't a real profecy at all, but only some raving woman's incoherent thoughts.

 

 

Bran's Dreams


"I dreamed about the crow again last night. The one with three eyes. He flew into my bedchamber and told me to come with him, so I did. We went down to the crypts. Father was there, and we talked. He was sad."

"And why was that?" Luwin peered through his tube.

"It was something to do about Jon, I think." The dream had been deeply disturbing, more so than any of the other crow dreams.


Bran, in this occasion, meets in a dream his father, who at that moment was already been killed, so Bran joins him in the crypts. The fact that something seems to be done about Jon could mean that Eddard wanted to reveal who his real parents are and perhaps that some secret about Jon is held in Winterfell's crypts. (See also the next profecy).

 
 

Jon's Dream


Jon tells Sam of a recurring dream he has of Winterfell. He dreams he is walking in a long, empty hall in the castle, his voice echoing around him and no one is answering. He is looking for someone, but he isn't sure who, sometimes it is his father, sometimes Robb, or Arya, or even Benjen. But he never finds anyone, the castle is always empty. Even the ravens are gone, and the stables are full of bones. It scares him, and he runs around looking for someone. Then he finds himself in front of the door to the crypts, and he knows he has to go down there, but he doesn't want to. He's afraid of what is waiting for him. Not the old Kings of Winter, but something else. He screams that he is not a Stark, that it isn't his place, but it is no good and he feels he has to go down, so he starts, with no torch to light his way. It gets darker and darker, until he wants to scream, and then he wakes up.


Jon tells Sam that this is a recurring dream and, as happened in Bran's dream (see the previous profecy), it seems to point out that a secret about Jon is held in Winterfell's crypts. Perhaps the secret about his parents? This could mean that Jon is son of Lyanna Stark and this is revealed in some way just on Lyanna's grave.


 


 

Arya's Dream

Just like Jon, Arya had only few prophetic dreams, but the one described in this occasion is very interesting:


When they had first come to King's Landing, she used to have bad dreams about getting lost in the castle. Father said the Red Keep was smaller than Winterfell, but in her dreams it had been immense, an endless stone maze with walls that seemed to shift and change behind her. She would find herself wandering down gloomy halls past faded tapestries, descending endless circular stairs, darting through courtyards or over bridges, her shouts echoing unanswered. In some of the rooms the red stone walls would seem to drip blood, and nowhere could she find a window. Sometimes she would hear her father's voice, but always from a long way off, and no matter how hard she ran after it, it would grow fainter and fainter, until it faded to nothing and Arya was alone in the dark.


It seems to symbolize that Arya will be cut off by her friends and family, doomed to remain alone in this world. The blood on the walls could mean that Arya will become more violent and “dark” as the saga continues, or the blood simply shows the sequence of deaths she will suffer: Eddard, Catelyn, Robb. Eddard's voice, growing fainter, symbolizes the separation from his daughter through his death.


 


 

Mirri Maz Duur's Prophecy

"When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east," said Mirri Maz Duur. "

When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves. When your womb quickens again, and you bear a living child. Then he will return, and not before."

 

This one could not be a real prophecy, but only a different way of saying “it will never happen”. If it shoud be real, and we believe so because it was said by Mirri Maz Duur, then Dany will never be able to have her own children. Naturally, the maegi could be lying, blinded by her rage and thirst for vengeance.
