He stands frozen in terror, until Thoros intercedes. Beric attacks, sword ablaze, but the burning bear continues to charge, and turns on the Hound. Tormund glimpses something through the snow, and the men ready themselves for what emerges: a bear with blue eyes. The small band runs into a heavy blizzard.
Daenerys refuses to discuss the line of succession until after the crown is hers. They discuss Cersei, and Tyrion uses the moment to remind Dany that fear alone is not the right weapon the world she wants to build will take longer than a single lifetime to construct. Tyrion points out all these men fell in love with the Mother of Dragons, but Daenerys denies Jon has any affection for her.
She tells her Hand she's glad he's not a hero, as heroes - Drogo, Jorah, Daario, Jon Snow - do stupid things. The group stops as the Hound takes in a distinctive mountaintop: the one he saw in the flames.ĭaenerys studies a map of the north as Tyrion sits nearby.
Jon repeats his old Night's Watch vow, "I am the shield that guards the realms of men" and the two men agree, maybe that's enough. Jon is frustrated he doesn't know why he was brought back, but Beric posits what matters is knowing what they're fighting for. While the Hound and Tormund share their different perspectives on Brienne of Tarth, Beric catches up to Jon to discuss his resurrection. Jon connects with Jorah, relieved when the older man refuses to take back Longclaw. Gendry's description of his experience - stripped naked, strapped to a bed, leeches placed on him - wins him no sympathy. Sensing Gendry's resentment, Thoros of Myr and Beric Dondarrion rationalize their past decision to sell the boy to Melisandre: Wars cost money. Tormund, remembering Mance Rayder's stubbornness, asks, "How many of his people died for his pride?" Jon explains to Tormund that Daenerys won't help unless he bends the knee. None of the burning swords we see on the show likely reflect Azor Ahai unless they begin to burn after the sword is used to kill someone the wielder loves.Jon Snow and the others trudge through the snowy landscape beyond the Wall. To obtain the sword’s powers, he had to plunge the sword into the heart of his living wife.Īzor Ahai’s sword was said to radiate heat and glow, burning anyone who touched it. In the books, Azor Ahai forged Lightbringer thousands of years ago to defeat the Great Other. Lightbringer is the burning sword that was wielded by Azor Ahai. And that sword shall be Lightbringer, the Red Sword of Heroes, and he who clasps it shall be Azor Ahai come again, and the darkness shall flee before him.” The Azor Ahai prophecy reads: “In this dread hour a warrior shall draw from the fire a burning sword. According to the prophecy, “The One (Prince) Who Was Promised” could be the reincarnation of Azor Ahai. The “flaming sword” is a key part of the story of Azor Ahai, a mythical figure whom legend says will be reborn and save the world from darkness. It’s not the sign of Azor Ahai though, I don’t think. This was proven in Season 8 Episode 3 when Melisandre said a few words and the Dothraki’s swords and weapons caught fire like Beric’s. So despite our believing he lit his sword in a more pragmatic way in an earlier season, it appears that the sword does light up because of magic. Tormund and Beric arrive at the Last Hearth – GOT – S08E01 T00:29:16.000Z
