The making of “The Queen of Ashes”....
The show has been telling us about D@enerys ending for quite long time, in fact, as I was rewatching the show, I found several scenes foreshadowing D@enerys tragic ending (here) but in this post I will focus on the most eye catching ones….
In the finale episode of season 1, Dany decides to kill Khal Drogo and burn his body next to her dragon eggs. She lays next to him and promises to reunite with him one day “When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east”.
The next scene happens in Kings Landing Kings Landing with Maester Pyrcelle and Ross in his room; he is remembering the Mad King and what likeable and charming man he used to be in his youth, before madness took over him.
The episode ends with D@enerys entering the fire pyre to eventually hatch the eggs and give birth to 3 dragons. She had this idea from a dragon dream in the early nights.
On episode 4, D@enerys arrives in Qarth and they dont want to let her in, thats the first time she threats to burn down a city and destroy completely. This wont be the last time D@enerys threatens to burn a city to the ground.
On episode 5, Tyrion finds out all the wildfire that its under Kings Landing, he mentions that its enough Wildfire to destroy all city. Look whats the next scene, D@enerys teaching baby Drogon to say Dracarys for the first time!!! How sweet.
On episode 4, Varys tries to alert Lady Ollena of how dangerous Littlefinger is. Pay attention at the words he uses to describe Littlefinger, those are the exact same words Tyrion used to describe D@enerys when he met her in Meeren.
Varys was afraid that Littlefinger would destroy the realm trying to get the Iron Throne, so he decided to bring D@enerys to Westeros, ironically, she will be the one turning the kingdom into ashes.
And here is something even better, this episode S3E4 ends with D@enerys literally acquiring her first army. She sacks Astapor and leaves with the Unsulied, getting her first army in order to invade Westeros.
Episode 9, right after the scene where Stannis burns down Sheereen at the stake as a sacrifice for the Lord of Light, they cut to the scene in Meereen where D@enerys and Hizdahr are presenting to the reopening of the Fighting Pits. During their conversation D@enerys explain that destroying an entire city it may be necessary in order to achieve something great.
This dialogue pretty much sums up D@enerys as a character. She is starting to rationale the idea of burning cities to the ground in order to achieve her own objectives, as something necessary, while not realizing that she is losing her humanity, just like those men who are fighting in the pits. She is using excuses of a greater cause to justify the deaths of millions.
D@enerys returns to Meereen and finds the city being attacked by the Masters of the rival cities. She then tells Tyion about her plans against the attack.
Thats her plan, that is always her plan. She doesnt have others ideas. D@enerys first instintic is always destruction, its her advisers who always have to hold her back. This is the second time she threatens to turn a city into dust, the next time, no one will be able to stop her. Kings Landing will turn into ashes…..
BTW, there is much more than this. I just gathered the most important ones, but the show has left SO MANY hints and little clues about who will be the one destroying Kings Landing, that I am always shocked that many find this theory crazy.
