“Ten years is a long time. It’s like losing an actual limb. I was 22 — a child — when I first walked on the Game of Thrones set. I grew up with her,” Clarke told me of her character Daenerys Targaryen. She said the last chapter of the epic show is “a real whopper, especially for Daenerys”.

By now almost every GOT fan is familiar with the Azor Ahai, the Prince that was promised, who fought the Long Night five thousand years ago. The Westrosi hero, who forged the magical sword, the Lightbringer, to defeat the others had to plunge it into the heart of his beloved wife Nissa Nissa.

A fan theory suggests, Dany is the prince(ss) that was promised, based on the last words of Maester Aemon (Targaryen).

“No one ever looked for a girl,” he said. “It was a prince that was promised, not a princess. Rhaegar, I thought… What fools we were, who thought ourselves so wise!
