He tries to persuade her to overlook Rorge's and Biter's behaviour, but she steps back and does not give him a drink. Doing this for a prisoner/criminal is a hint he's testing her for empathy. If she does that, she acts symbolically as his "cupbearer". Jaqen's first interaction is to ask Arya for beer, lifting his tankard. And then at some point, he decides to test her. That's all he had time for as he sat in the cage. But Jaqen would have observed this way way earlier. It took Gendry until they were only a few to figure out she was a girl, always sneaking off to pee by herself. When there was no battle, the Valkyries served the warriors (in Walhalla) as cupbearers.Īnd I think Jaqen sees her as a "chooser of the slain", a woman sent by the Many Faced God to choose who dies and lives, to decide battles that she has intuitive knowledge of the god's will. The battle would be dedicated to the names of the Valkyries overseeing it by the winners. These were women in service of the god Odin who went to battlefields and with the power to choose who won, lost, died and lived, because they knew which side Odin wanted to win, which heroes he wanted to live or die. And one of the sayings in the books is that poison is a woman's weapon. That's how she knew their prayers and was able to administer them the poison to help them die. I have a crackpot theory that the FM have some prophecy or at least some recruitment profile regarding a rare girl with Valkyrie abilities, and that the first FM was a woman and not a man, who served the slaves as some nurse with food and drink. I am dying to hear your thoughts on this. I may be off about this but I am thinking that the faceless men knows something about arya's abilities than they are letting on. I believe the Faceless men knows about the stories of wargs beyond the wall and may have wanted to recruit them into their ranks. Jacquen H'gar had to have known who arya was because paying attention to people is what the Kindly man had told arya is what she needed to master.Īnd finally, when Arya warged into the cat and was able to hit the kindly man and he asked her how was she able to do that, I felt that the Kindly man knew the answer but wanted Arya to tell him. And when the fire broke out and Jaquen H'gar asked Arya to help him get out of the cage and she helped him, he promises her 3 wishes and gives her an invitation to learn the ways of the faceless men. The reason I ask this is how does someone like Jaquen H'gar who can easily disguise himself be captured and sent away to the wall. R.I.P.What has been bothering me is when Arya met Jaquen H'gar was it just mere coincidence or something planned. In the game of thrones, all men must die. He told her she would always be his queen before stabbing her in the throne room with a dagger. After that, it was only a matter of time before the bell tolled for her.įollowing the destruction of King's Landing, Daenerys talked about liberating the rest of the world, and Jon just couldn't be cool with it. There was no coming back after Daenerys torched King's Landing in the penultimate episode, seemingly unnecessarily killing thousands upon thousands of innocent people after the city had sounded its surrender bells. That was prior to Season 8, Episode 5, however. Through almost eight seasons of the show, fans had cheered for the dragon queen as she rose from an abused, scared child to a Khaleesi set on reclaiming the Iron Throne, the birth right that was taken from her. The "Game of Thrones" series finale turned into the family reunion from hell when Queen Daenerys Targaryen, First of Her Name, Breaker of Chains, Fan of Frappuccinos, was killed by her nephew and lover, Jon Snow/Aegon Targaryen (Kit Harington).Īs Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Rheon) once said, "If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention."
