Warning: Main spoilers forward for “Home of the Dragon” season two and the e book “Fireplace and Blood.”
The most recent episode of “Home of the Dragon” season two could have simply teased the dying of Daemon Targaryen.
Daemon, the king consort of one of many two individuals vying for the Iron throne, is among the hottest characters from the hit “Sport of Thrones” prequel collection, inspiring a number of attractive memes and an obsession for Matt Smith, the actor who performs him.
However within the first few episodes of season two, Daemon makes a number of reckless selections, pushing the dominion nearer to civil conflict.
Daemon orders the assassination of his nephew/half-brother-in-law Aemond Targaryen (Ewan Mitchell), will get baby prince Jaehaerys Targaryen murdered as an alternative, after which flies off to Harrenhal along with his dragon Caraxes, leaving spouse/niece/queen Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) to unravel the mess he made.

When Daemon wakes up, he meets a girl in black (Gayle Rankin) exterior the citadel, who ominously says, “You’ll die on this place,” earlier than strolling away.
Followers of “Fireplace and Blood,” the supply materials for the TV collection, could have found out this lady is probably going Alys Rivers. Within the e book, Alys lived in Harrenhal and was believed to be a witch who may see the long run.

Since season one, “Home of the Dragon” has foreshadowed a duel between Daemon and Aemond. They’re the strongest warriors, Aemond idolizes Daemon, and Daemon desires to eradicate Aemond’s large dragon, Vhagar.
When Aemond first involves Harrenhall in “Fireplace and Blood,” Daemon flees to assist Rhaenyra take over Westeros’ capital, King’s Touchdown. Daemon ultimately goes to a different citadel, cheats on Rhaenyra and his lover, Nettles, is said an enemy of the queen.
As a substitute of returning to his spouse, Daemon flies again to Harrenhal to problem Aemond and Vhagar to a duel. The battle above the Gods Eye lake close to the citadel is fierce, and ultimately, the dragons crash into one another and descend towards the lake.
Daemon makes use of the chance to leap on Vhagar and stab Aemond via his pretend eye, after which each males and the dragons crash into the lake.
“Fireplace and Blood” is written like a historic account, so Aemond, Vhagar, and Caraxes’ deaths are confirmed when their our bodies are recovered. However Daemon’s physique isn’t discovered, resulting in theories he escaped to be along with his mistress, Nettles.
Since “Home of the Dragon” takes a extra definitive strategy, perhaps we’ll study if Daemon died in Gods Eye or escaped.
