There were many controversial moments in the finals of Season 2 of the "Dragon House", but among them was the dream that Daemon Targarien (Matt Smith) experienced. Although the dreams in the Game of Thrones universe have always been stupid - they usually contain a certain truth, but they shouldn't have been too literally taken - this seems clear. Daemon sees pictures of himself drowning, the dead dragons, the army of the White Walker and Daniis Targaryen (Emilia Clark). This must be a "song of ice and fire" that hangs Targaryen prophesied in season 1 "House of the Dragon".

Not only are they All these visions the real things that will happen in the future of WesterosBut the image of Daniers looks especially like something that cannot be waved like Daemon's imagination. To imagine exactly what his offspring would look like, it seems unlikely, which means that this vision is intended to be a real deal. Book fans have been arguing for literal decades at this point about who is in Game of Thrones The prince that was promisedAnd it seems that this vision answers the question.

During the eight seasons of the initial show, it was usually the fans to predict that Daniers was the prince who was promised, but that theory seemed to be overthrown by Everything that happened in the last season of "Game of Thrones". The fact that Daemon sees Daniers, not Jonon Snow, certainly looks like a clear answer in favor of Daniers. But the show -Show Ryan Konal quickly urged viewers not to jump to such conclusions.

In a 2024 interview with the varietyCondal claims that Daniers' Camoo is less about her princess who was promised and more for her to return the dragons, symbolically reviving Targaryen's house after over a century of Dragons. As Condal said, "there are no dragons in the world until they are reborn in Daniers."

"We know who sees that picture, (but) Daemon has no idea. It could be his future daughter with a ran who has three dragons.

What about the reason? The surface had to be given a look at the song on ice and fire, the prophecy "House of the Dragon" positioned as a driving force behind the actions of every ruler of Targaryen. But Condal explained how it is mainly part of the bow of Season 2 to bring Daemon closer together and raised together:

"Daemon's Decision to Bend the Knee, Swear Again to Rhaenyra, Reaffirm His Loyalty To Her - One Event Doesn' Experienced over the Course of the Season that LED HIM TO THAT POINT. Ways, at the least of his enemies, more dangerous, because we now have a very focused demon with the sole purpose, which is put on that throne. "

It all served to answer one of the biggest questions of season 1: why a demon, an amoral man who starved power, who killed his first wife, to be on the ship by staying second in the command of his new granddaughter-Ranja? Book fans and the show were also wondering why Daemon never betrayed her in this regard, but this vision of his helps to explain why. At the end of season 2, Daemon finally believes in a greater reason over himself.

Condal also unpacked the look of Daemon's vision for Brinden Rivers (Oshoshua Ben-Tim), Aka Krvaven. Bloodraven was a Targaryen founded at Game of Thrones as someone who learned to move his consciousness over time. He is someone who may have returned very well and bothered the dance of the dragons with his own eyes.

"Bloodraven's Easter egg felt a lot of fitting here - and earned in a sense - because it is a targary that we know he continues to do strange and wonderful things," Condal explained. "And if there is someone who will be able to see it he will connect with Daniers, it would be that."

The phrasing of that last sentence is interesting; The implication is that Daemon not only sees Bloodraven in his kind, but that Bloodraven is the one who knows how to go to his mind and show him what he thinks that a demon should see him. It seems that bloodraven knows that the events of the dragon's dance should happen more or less the same as playing in History books. Perhaps this vision is his way to ensure that Daemon continues on the track "fire and blood" for him.

In many ways, season 2 "The Dragon House" feels like a story about the characters who try and fail to oppose their destinies. And Alikent has spent the whole season trying to find another option besides the war to resolve their dispute, while Daemon has tried and failed to distinguish himself as a leader outside of raising. Daemon has spent the whole season opposing the chaos that the future has in the store for him, but in season 3 he will dive into his head.
