A Pact of Ice & Fire Left Unsealed
The idea of a dutiful Targaryen prince who falls deeply in love with a wild Stark lady that he ultimately forsakes his duty for has been heavily foreshadowed throughout the story. Rhaegar and Lyanna echo the earlier “Pact of Ice and Fire” begun by Jacaerys and Sara; they unite their bloodlines through a son who is fostered at Winterfell from a young age, growing up alongside his Stark cousin. Yet their deaths leave the pact unfinished, much like Jacaerys and Sara’s before them. All that remains is for Arya and Jon to carry that legacy forward and bring the cycle full circle.
