1
00:00:01,767 --> 00:00:05,521
The Maesters don't believe in prophecy
with good reason.
2
00:00:05,604 --> 00:00:08,607
The Children of the Forest supposedly
could see into the future...
3
00:00:08,691 --> 00:00:11,944
...yet was surprised by the first men
who nearly ended their race...
4
00:00:12,069 --> 00:00:14,864
...and the Long Night,
which nearly ended us all.
5
00:00:15,489 --> 00:00:17,908
Some maesters posit that
The Children's magical sight...
6
00:00:17,992 --> 00:00:20,327
...was invented long after
they vanished from Westeros...
7
00:00:20,744 --> 00:00:23,414
...by singers hoping to
thrill peasant girls.
8
00:00:23,756 --> 00:00:28,377
Not that most maesters have much
experience in what does or doesn't do that.
9
00:00:29,420 --> 00:00:32,047
When Aegon the Conqueror came
to the Iron Islands...
10
00:00:32,131 --> 00:00:35,009
...the priest king Lodos claimed
his divine father...
11
00:00:35,092 --> 00:00:36,969
...The Ironborn's Dronwed God...
12
00:00:37,052 --> 00:00:40,556
...had shown him krakens pulling
Aegon's ships into the deep.
13
00:00:41,098 --> 00:00:42,850
No krakens ever arrived...
14
00:00:42,860 --> 00:00:45,608
...and even if they had, they wouldn't
stopped Aegon and his dragons...
15
00:00:45,688 --> 00:00:47,385
...without wings of their own.
16
00:00:47,646 --> 00:00:51,692
Confused, Lodos filled his pockets
with stones and walked into the sea...
17
00:00:51,859 --> 00:00:54,862
...to take council with his father.
18
00:00:55,779 --> 00:00:57,198
Thousands followed him.
19
00:00:57,281 --> 00:01:00,034
But appearently The Drowned God
didn't appreciate the crowd.
20
00:01:00,826 --> 00:01:03,829
Their corpses washed upon
the Iron Islands for years.
21
00:01:04,704 --> 00:01:08,626
According the legend, House Targaryen
survived the Doom of Valyria...
22
00:01:08,709 --> 00:01:11,754
...thanks to Daenys the Dreamer,
who foresaw the calamity...
23
00:01:11,879 --> 00:01:14,673
...and convinced her father to flee
their homeland.
24
00:01:14,924 --> 00:01:16,467
It could be true.
25
00:01:16,550 --> 00:01:20,095
Targaryens were always a bit more.
26
00:01:20,179 --> 00:01:22,056
But as Maester Yendall points out...
27
00:01:22,139 --> 00:01:25,893
...in the east, the Targaryens one of a
thousand minor noble families...
28
00:01:26,060 --> 00:01:28,270
...in Westeros, they became kings.
29
00:01:28,646 --> 00:01:32,983
Politics, not prophecy could have
drawn them to our shores.
30
00:01:33,901 --> 00:01:37,988
Politics can also explain the prophecies
of Daemon Blackfyre II...
31
00:01:38,197 --> 00:01:41,659
...a Targaryen bastard rumored to
possess the family gift.
32
00:01:42,243 --> 00:01:43,994
While posing as a hedge knight...
33
00:01:44,078 --> 00:01:46,455
...he told a future Lord Commander
of the Kingsguard...
34
00:01:46,538 --> 00:01:49,375
...that he dreamt of a dragon
hatching in a white walls castle...
35
00:01:49,458 --> 00:01:52,670
...and took it is a sign that
he'd win the Iron Throne.
36
00:01:52,962 --> 00:01:54,672
Perhaps if he'd slept a bit longer...
37
00:01:54,755 --> 00:01:58,150
...he'd had dreamt the King's Hand
putting down his rebellion a day later...
38
00:01:58,175 --> 00:01:59,843
...before it even began.
39
00:02:00,594 --> 00:02:05,474
Most maesters dismissal Targaryen claims of
prophecy as mystic nonsense.
40
00:02:05,849 --> 00:02:08,018
A relic of their Eastern ancestry.
41
00:02:08,978 --> 00:02:11,188
To be fair, across the Narrow Sea...
42
00:02:11,313 --> 00:02:14,650
...there isn't a market without a warlock
from Qarth telling fortunes...
43
00:02:14,733 --> 00:02:18,487
...or a Shadow Binder from Asshai
reading fates in blood.
44
00:02:19,321 --> 00:02:23,242
Up so I hear from the maesters.
45
00:02:24,185 --> 00:02:25,628
But when I was a boy...
46
00:02:25,711 --> 00:02:28,430
...I overheard the cook whispering to
a maid about a woods witch...
47
00:02:28,455 --> 00:02:32,001
...camping outside Horn Hill who was
called Maggy the Frog.
48
00:02:32,876 --> 00:02:36,747
Now I realize it was probably a corruption
of the Eastern word for wizards...
49
00:02:36,839 --> 00:02:38,299
"Maegi"
50
00:02:38,507 --> 00:02:42,803
One day my father rode out hunting,
though no game was in season.
51
00:02:43,012 --> 00:02:46,640
Whatever power she had,
likely didn't save her.
52
00:02:47,391 --> 00:02:50,936
Even the wisest maesters however
have no answer for the Red Priests...
53
00:02:51,020 --> 00:02:53,272
...who prophesy about the return
of the Long Night.
54
00:02:53,522 --> 00:02:54,940
For thousands of years...
55
00:02:55,024 --> 00:02:57,484
...they've kept watch for the return of the
Prince who was promised...
56
00:02:57,568 --> 00:03:01,655
...who will be born amidst salt and smoke
to drive off the darkness once again.
57
00:03:02,281 --> 00:03:05,617
Prince of what realm?
Promised by whom and to whom?
58
00:03:05,993 --> 00:03:07,703
...the prophecy doesn't say.
59
00:03:07,953 --> 00:03:11,582
But at the very least, it confirmed that
no even Essos escaped the Long Night.
60
00:03:12,082 --> 00:03:14,918
I imagine the cataclysm must have
confused the East.
61
00:03:15,044 --> 00:03:18,630
Unlike Westeros, they wouldn't have
known of the Night King nor the White Walkers...
62
00:03:18,714 --> 00:03:21,884
...or the war waged by the First Men
and the Children of the Forest.
63
00:03:22,509 --> 00:03:24,636
They would have just seen
a terrible winter descend...
64
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,557
...and linger far too long until
spring magicaly returned to the world.
65
00:03:29,433 --> 00:03:31,143
Yet somehow...
66
00:03:31,226 --> 00:03:35,147
...maybe from passing merchants,
maybe in their fires...
67
00:03:35,356 --> 00:03:37,232
...The Red Priests saw the truth.
68
00:03:38,525 --> 00:03:41,737
Now the truth is here again
for anyone to see...
69
00:03:42,279 --> 00:03:44,198
...but the maesters refuse.
70
00:03:44,281 --> 00:03:48,702
They debate and question and doubt,
not to choose the wisest course...
71
00:03:48,786 --> 00:03:51,163
...because they're too used to
doing nothing else.
72
00:03:51,872 --> 00:03:55,167
Most prophecies might be lies,
but not all of them.
73
00:03:55,751 --> 00:03:57,753
The Long Night is coming.
74
00:03:57,961 --> 00:04:00,214
If we don't believe that...
75
00:04:00,381 --> 00:04:03,384
...we won't need any prophecy
to tell us our future.
