![]() Rhaegar had believed much, and he probably believed he would die on the Trident, but it made no difference to his duty and his doom. She had warned Rhaegar too, and just like Jon Snow, he had shrugged her off. She had thought it final, just as when she had foreseen rubies like rain falling into the river. She had dreamt of Jon Snow, of his death and daggers in the dark. But so much of what she had seen had not really been about Stannis Baratheon. She dreamt of the same things, of a dead princess made of snow, a stag, smoke. Then, when Stannis was Prince of Dragonstone instead of Rhaegar, R’hllor had once again lead her to him, lead her to believe this man was Azor Ahai. And in the end he and his wolf-wife and their unborn princess had died, as had Elia’s children. She had implored the dragon prince to seek a northern bride with whom to make his Visenya, a snow princess. She had been so sure that the long night was upon them. R’hllor had told her to go to Rhaegar, and the flames had shown her a snow princess trampled under a stag who choked on smoke. She had been only in her middle years when she had sought the dragon prince, Rhaegar, and showed him that the magic he had read of in books was real. She had met others with their own lords or theories, met others who had intrigued her and made her think they might be the one. R’hllor had led her to Stannis, and she had been as sure as sharp knives that he was Azor Ahai come again to fight for the dawn. ![]() She had always known it to be her destiny, and she had done terrible things knowing the lives she would eventually save by the side of Azor Ahai reborn. When she had been only a small girl, R’hllor had called on her, told her that she would be needed to help the Prince that was Promised defeat the night and bring the dawn. She didn’t understand how she could be so wrong. I don't think it's likely that Melisandre, who has been a Red Priestess for a long time, never found a candidate for Azor Ahai before Stannis. Also a little bit of my head-canon leaked into here. I'm curious about Melisandre's adventures in the south now that her loyalty is unshakable. ![]() Summary: Melisandre, just exiled, realizes who Jon Snow is, and knows now how she must serve him.ĪN: I can't promise that there won't be more of this. ![]()
