So with things coming to a climax, I was thinking about some of the prophesies. I put this here because I'm not sure all of this lore was included in the show.

Cercei and Maggy the Frog:
Quote:
Cersei: Will the king and I have children?
Maggy: Oh, aye. Six-and-ten for him, and three for you. Gold shall be their crowns and gold their shrouds, she said. And when your tears have drowned you, the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you.
All of Maggy's prophesies have come true. This would say that Cercei will not have another child, so is she lying or simply will she die before she can give birth. The sacond part; "valongar" is High Valarian for "little brother". So it would seem to me that Tyrion will kill Cercei. Jamie is the younger twin, but since he is missing a hand and the prophesy says "hands", Tyrion it is.

Then I started thinking about the other prominent prophesy - the House of The Undying.
Quote:
A beautiful, naked woman being ravished by four little men who resemble the dwarf servitor.
A feast of slaughtered corpses holding cups, spoons, and food, with a dead man with a wolf's head sitting on a throne wearing an iron crown, apparently foreshadowing the Red Wedding.
Daenerys' childhood home with the red door in Braavos.
A throne room with dragon skulls on the walls where a king resembling Aerys II Targaryen sits on a barbed throne and appears to give the order to burn the Red Keep during the Sack of King's Landing.
A room where a silver-haired man (presumably Rhaegar Targaryen) names his son Aegon, says the child is "the prince that was promised", then plays a harp.
A "splendor of wizards" who falsely claim to be the Undying of Qarth and offer to teach Daenerys the secret speech of dragonkind.
Quote:
Upon reaching the chamber of the Undying, Daenerys is spoken to in a barely perceptible whisper. The Undying call her "mother of dragons" and "child of three" and tell her some prophesies, saying "three fires must you light... one for life and one for death and one to love... three mounts must you ride... one to bed and one to dread and one to love... three treasons will you know... once for blood and once for gold and once for love..."

So with the ominous Tyrion boat scene, is he going to betray Dani? Has he already done so in the discussion with Cercei we couldn't see?
