In the following article, we will analyze the unknown secrets of the protagonists of the ultimate battle-ghosts, children of the forest, and dragons, and predict which magical creatures will participate in this battle. All analyses are based on episodes, novels and fan conjecture.
Guess one: the wonderful showdown between dragon and ice dragon?
The Targaryen family who controls the dragon are Valyrians from the continent of Essos. According to legend, the Valyrians were once a group of shepherds. They found and conquered the dragon near the volcano where they were grazing. The power of the dragon established the greatest civilization in history-Valyrian Castle. Three centuries ago, the Targaryen family took the dragon to escape the apocalyptic catastrophe of Valyria Freehold, and relied on the dragon to conquer the continent of Westeros, which kicked off the "Game of Thrones". Dragons are a kind of fire-attribute species, their bodies exude high temperature and they breathe flames. In a world where there are only two seasons of ice and fire, the dragon represents the prosperity of summer. After the dragon became extinct, the winter in Westeros became longer and the climate became colder.
Therefore, many viewers were surprised by the drama in which the Night King shot and resurrected a dragon at the end of the seventh season. In fact, the ice dragon is well documented in the world of ice and fire. According to "A World of Ice and Fire: The Unknown History of Westeros in the Game of Thrones" by Elio Garcia and Linda Antonsson, fishermen once saw an ice dragon breathing cold in the white wasteland on the north shore of the Shaking Sea. The ice dragon will melt after death, leaving no trace.

According to the development of the plot, we should be able to look forward to a wonderful double-dragon duel, just like the "Dance of the Blood Dragon" in the Targaryen family, at the end of the battle between Prince Diamond and Prince Yimond. But at least we can rest assured that if this ice dragon is defeated, there is a high probability that it will not be resurrected by the Night King.
Guess 2: The secret of the Stark family identity will be revealed?
In the "Game of Thrones", the Stark family's strong "protagonist halo" not only comes from Jon’s blood, but also because of the uniqueness of this family—this is an ancient family that has continued from the heroic era to the present day , They had participated in the decisive battle between the ancestors, the sons of the forest and the strange ghost thousands of years ago. That war started when the children of the forest competed with humans for land. The children of the forest used humans to "create" ghosts; the children of the forest cooperated with humans to repel the ghosts. Brandon the "citybuilder" established the Great Wall and founded Star The K family will always guard the north. But in this story, there is a name that cannot be mentioned-"Night’s King".
The Night King is not the ghost leader Night King in "Game of Thrones", but a human who has married a ghost. According to legend, the night king was originally the commander-in-chief of the night watch. After marrying the strange ghost woman, they ruled the "Night Castle" and gave the child to the strange ghost to sacrifice. Later, Brandon the "Wall Builder" defeated the Lord of the Night and ordered the erasure of this history. why? Nanny Bran, who is familiar with various legends, told Bran, "The King of the Night is a Stark." The story of
made fans propose a hypothesis: There is a kinship between the Stark family and alien ghosts. First of all, we must know that "A Song of Ice and Fire" is a work full of echoes and symbols, and in the Stark family, "the bastard with a special identity" is a typical role "prototype". In the play, we saw "Jon Snow in the blood of Stark and Targaryen" and "Samuel whose true identity is the savage" (Jilly's child). Then, is it possible that the night After Wang was defeated, one of his children was brought back to the Stark family and raised? Since the wife of the Night King is considered an alien, this child will also carry half of the alien blood.

may explain why people in the North have some abilities that are different from humans in other regions. For example, the transfigures that can manipulate animal consciousness are currently only present in the wild people in the north and outside the wall. The Stark family has a much higher probability of having transfigures than other families. Among the Stark children we know, the ones who are clearly transfigures in the play are Bran Stark and Joan.En Snow, and the book also hints at the possibility of Alia and Rickon Stark as transfigures.
Due to space reasons, the drama version of "Game of Thrones" cut many parts of the original text. Because the legend of the Night King has not been highlighted, we may not be able to learn the secret of the Stark family identity in the final season of "Game of Thrones." However, in view of the footage of Riado's top door in the sixth episode of season 7, the screenwriter has created a new situation beyond the existing worldview for "Game of Thrones" in just a few minutes, and we may be able to look forward to seeing it in the final season. More subvert the previous new concepts. After all, isn't this the charm of "Game of Thrones"?
