On the sixth episode of season seven of Game of Thrones, we lost one of our most prized characters (mythical creatures) on the show – Viserion. One of the three dragon/children of Daenerys Targaryen, he was struck down by The Night King during the battle beyond the wall and eventually, turned into a White Dragon.
Now, I’m not sure about you, but I have a lot of questions. We’ve seen the White Walkers and their abilities to attack without suffering any death – unless, of course, they’re stabbed with dragonglass or Valyrian Steel. But, with a dragon – does the game change?
Think about it…
Dany’s dragons breathe fire and, it’s the main leg-up she has on all of her enemies – the ability to burn down entire kingdoms with the simple mutter of the word “Dracarys.” But, do White Dragons breathe ice now instead of fire?
It seems completely plausible that they would become much like Mr. Freeze’s gun – turning people into blocks of ice in real-time. And, if this were the actual case, who would win in a battle of Fire vs. Ice?
Science says that fire will melt any ice – but, if Viserion is breathing ice, how will Drogon and Rhaegal stop him/save people without burning them to death? It’s a question that I demand answers to. And, is this the battle of fire and ice that everyone was speaking about for so long? Sure, we can say that Jon Snow is ice (being from the North and bringing the reminder of Winter everywhere he goes) and Dany is clearly the fire (she thrives in the flames).
But, Jon is actually a Targaryen people – so, it could be possible that Jon is also fire, we can’t really know unless he pulls a Dany and lights an entire building on fire and emerges naked and alive. And, if Jon is fire – who is the ice now?
It would make sense that the battle of fire and ice would be the now White Dragon vs. Dany’s two other dragons and make for the ultimate show down for all the ages. Here’s hoping fire takes it all!
