The following containsMAJOR SPOILERSfor both HBOsHouse of the Dragonand George R. R. MartinsFire & Blood.
Taken captive by the Blacks after the fall of Kings Landing, she eventually dies by suicide.
Because in the world of the television show, Helaena is not damaged or broken.
This one has 60 rings and two pairs of legs on each, she says.
Thats 240…It has eyes…
though…I dont believe it can see…It is beyond our understanding.
The last ring has no legs at all.
Before the episode is over, Helaenas once again proven right.
But thats not what Helaena means.
Im afraid … Not of dragons.
How might the Greens be able to use her powers in the future?
(Provided, of course, that any of them take her and her abilities seriously.)
Aegon will be king again, she says.
Hes yet to see victory.
He sits on a wooden throne.
And shes remarkably clear about the specifics of how that will happen.
And you….you will be dead, she says.
You are swallowed up in the Gods Eye, and you are never seen again.
The Gods Eye is the name of the large lake that sits just south of Harrenhal.
And it is where not one but two fan favorites will meet their ends.
Helaena doesnt geteverything100% right here, however, as its technicallyDaemonwho is never seen again.
During his sojourn at Harrenhal, Daemon has been regularly haunted by ghosts both literal and figurative.
Its all a story and you are but one part in it, she tells him.
You know your part.
(Whether this means Helaena has also seen Aegons dream for herself is unclear, but heres hoping!)
Can this change of heart be credited to Helaena?
Not entirely, as Im sure the ice zombies definitely helped in that regard.
How will those visions impact the events of season 3?
Well have to wait and see.
