Nearly a decade after her last appearance on “Game of Thrones,” the Mother of Dragons, also known as Daenerys Targaryen, is making her way into House of the Dragon lore. A newly released clip from the latest episode of Season 3 has gone viral online, with fans intrigued by a reference to the iconic character, originally played by Emilia Clarke.The clip features an emotional conversation between Daemon Targaryen and Rhaenyra Targaryen, who is mourning the death of her son Jacaerys “Jace” Velaryon. Lying in bed, she tells Damon that she is “tired” before the two begin speaking in High Valyrian.
During the conversation, Daemon recounts a prophetic vision he had at Harrenhal, and describes images that fans believe directly reference Daenerys Targaryen.
“I saw him, Rhaenyra, at Harrenhal. Darkness in the North. Child of Ice and Fire. I saw a silver-haired girl in a distant desert, and there were dragons at her breast. But if it is true, then what my brother told you… If it is true, what will you do then?” says the devil in the scene.The clip prompted fans to take to social media to say: “Oh, they’re 100% giving Rhaenyra visions of Daenerys in the future. This is practically a teaser from Daemon.” Another said: “DAEMON talking about Daenerys!!!”Another said: “He is literally manipulating her because of the visions he believes herald their victory.
“He doesn’t even see the end and how the Targaryens are extinct and disgraced.”The reference is also based on an important moment from Season 2. In 2024, “House of the Dragon” featured a vision of Daemon at the weirwood tree in Harrenhal, which included glimpses of Daenerys, the White Walkers, a dead dragon, and other prophetic images connected to the future events of “Game of Thrones.” The sequence became one of the most talked about moments of the show and ultimately influenced Daemon’s decision to support Rhaenyra’s claim to the Iron Throne.
The latest episode appears to expand on that prophecy, connecting House of the Dragon to events that unfold generations later in Game of Thrones.
