Could Ser Davos be the Saviour of Westeros?

Could the Onion Knight turn out to actually be the Prince that was promised? Reddit User FollowTheBeard seems to have some pretty convincing evidence that this could be the case. Spoilers ahead for everything Game of Thrones related so if you haven't caught up by now I urge you to come back when you are.

For those of you not familiar with the Prophecy of The Prince that was Promised or Azor Ahai as he is called by Melisandre (Carice van Houten) it states as follows.

"When the red star bleeds and the darkness gathers, Azor Ahai shall be born again amidst smoke and salt to wake the sleeping dragon." - Melisandre

This theory could apply to a number of characters, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) and Jon Snow (Kit Harington) are both prime candidates for the Prince(ss) that was promised, but it wouldn't be Game of Thrones if it was predictable.

Lightbringer

"In the Ancient Books it is written that a warrior will draw a burning sword from that fire, and that sword shall be Lightbringer." - Melisandre

During the second season premier, Stannis Baratheon (Stephen Dillane) pulls the sword from the flames but he is unsuccessful when the sword sticks in the sand, a few moments later when no one else is around Ser Davos picks up the sword and casually walks away with it.

Born again amidst smoke and salt

The Battle of the Blackwater should have killed Ser Davos, in fact, most of Westeros believed him to actually be dead as wildfire took down the rest of his ship, but he wasn't. Instead, he managed to wash up on an island, he may not have technically died but water is used as a symbol of rebirth, the water could be the salt and the wildfire could be the smoke.

Red star bleeds and darkness gathers

As most of you know a red comet appeared throughout the second season of the show, I do not know if it was still there during the season three premiere when Davos was shown to be on the island and is rescued by Salladhor Saan (Lucian Msamati). The darkness could be the white walker presence, or it could refer to The Battle of the Blackwater.

Wake the sleeping dragon

This part of the theory is the most interesting for me, Davos was the one to rally Melisandre to try her magic to bring Jon (the dragon Targaryen) back to life, and she had completely lost her faith after Stannis turned out to be false. Melisandre said the ancient words, Jon still lay dead on the metal slab, but when Davos stayed behind to pray Jon had woken up by the time he stepped out the room. Was it a delayed reaction? Or perhaps was the Onion Knight more involved than we know?

Liam Cunningham has stated in interviews that George RR Martin told him a secret about Davos, no one else knows anything about what this secret could be, but he has said he was excited by it. Thanks to FollowTheBeard I now believe that Ser Davos could definitely be a contender for Azor Ahai, and I can't help but ponder who else could appear on that list.

What are your thoughts on this theory? Do you believe the Onion Knight could be in for some big reveals in the show's future? Comment below.

Game of Thrones - The Hall of Faces Trailer and Theories!

I've been watching out for this trailer for the past week and was pretty excited to see some footage from the new season. Instead we got to see the faces of characters, some of whom are long lost, and others who have yet to leave us. SPOILER WARNING for those who haven't caught up with season five. The trailer takes place in the Hall of Faces, which is inside the House of Black and White in Braavos. The hall looks great, creepy but great. We can hear some whispers which are too quiet for me to make out. Then Ned's (Sean Bean) face appears on screen, we then hear him say a line from the show's first ever episode called Winter is Coming. "The Man who passes the sentence should swing the sword." The screen then fades to black and we then see a clip of some more rows of heads. We then hear even more whispers and which I think sounds like some drops of waters. We then hear the voice of Robb Stark (Richard Madden) who we hear give a quote from seaso...

Lion Rampant

So for those of you who haven't heard about this project it was leaked during the Sony hack. This as a potential sequel to Braveheart called Lion Rampant, after the flag I have shown above. Really it should be called Braveheart as Robert the Bruce was called the Brave Heart and his heart was taken into battle after his death. Depicting Robert the Bruce's story and the Battle of Bannockburn (24th June 1314) in Scotlands first war for independance where King Edward II was beaten in battle by a small force lead by Robert the Bruce. Robert the Bruce in Braveheart was shown as a traitor and I am hoping that this upcoming movie would mean that he will hopefully get the makeover he so rightly deserves. Although he did pay homage to Edward I, The Bruce really secretly supported Wallace (later publicly supporting him) and he did not betray Wallace, that was Sir John Menteith. This could easily turn into a what's wrong with Braveheart post so I will state that they did get the...

I dropped the ball!

........ Image courtesy of paradigmalibu These last few months I've felt as if I have dropped the proverbial ball, my mind has been witness to a stand off between Mental health disorders and things from my past I'd rather not constantly have to relive. It's buried itself into my soul while operating my mindless drone of a body, I've relived every conversation I ever had; thought of Friends long gone as I struggle to open up about my disability. I don't even like calling it that as it feels disrespectful to people like my parents; who's struggle and sheer joy of receiving two disabled free babies has been with me my entire life. But I am not OK - I feel like I have to admit that to the world. A miscarriage has taken me back mentally to a place I've not been for a very long time, and I'm petrified t...
