'Game Of Thrones' Leak Hints At Popular Theory

Khal this maybe.

The internet has been flying higher than Khaleesi’s dragons after recent leaks confirmed Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen would finally meet. Now even more leaks hint at a pivotal moment fans have speculated about for years.

In recent photos seen on Watchers on the Wall, Daily Mail and social media platforms, we see Tyrion, Dany and Jon Snow on the beach together.

We also see an appearance by Dany’s dragons.

Magnificent, aren’t they?

Although special effects, of course, haven’t been added, those images definitely show Jon Snow and Khaleesi hanging out with our favorite characters: the dragons. Watchers on the Wall speculates that Jon is petting Rhaegal, the dragon named after his father, Rhaegar Targaryen. With that, there are hints that we may see one of the most popular “Game of Thrones” theories come to life.

In George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire book series, the inspiration for “Game of Thrones,” Dany learns about a prophecy that says “the dragon has three heads.” It’s theorized that the “three heads” are three Targaryen dragon riders that will fly on Dany’s dragons and eventually defeat the White Walkers. These three heads could very likely be Dany, Jon and Tyrion.

We know Dany is a Targaryen, and we learned Jon Snow is from the same family in Season 6, but there are theories that Tyrion is a Targaryen, too. His looks in the book, his obsession with dragons (that also made it onto the show), and the fact the Mad King Aerys Targaryen is said to have taken “liberties” with Tyrion’s mother (Tywin’s wife), Joanna Lannister, all point to the possibility.

More importantly, Dany’s, Jon Snow’s and Tyrion’s moms all died during childbirth. (Yeah, that’s cray.) There’s no way Martin wrote that by accident.
