‘House of the Dragon’ Season 2 finale: What does Helaena’s prophecy about Aemond imply?

This complete season of Home of the Dragon has been stuffed with visions and prophecies, however the finale actually doubled down.

In addition to Daemon’s (Matt Smith’s) weirwood tree-assisted glimpse into the long run, we additionally had one other prophecy from Helaena (Phia Saban) — and it may have some main implications for her brothers Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) and Aegon II (Tom Glynn-Carney).

So what precisely does Helaena say to Aemond, and what does it imply?

What does Helaena say to Aemond?

After he involves the Purple Preserve’s balcony to ask her to fly with him to Harrenhal, Helaena tells Aemond she noticed him burning Aegon II throughout the battle at Rook’s Relaxation. He tells her she’s mendacity however she doubles down, then makes the next prediction:

“Aegon will be king again. He’s yet to see victory. He sits on a wooden throne. And you…you will be dead. You are swallowed up in the God’s Eye, and you are never seen again.”

“I could have you killed,” responds Aemond.

“It wouldn’t change anything,” comes Helaena’s reply.

Provided that Helaena has already made a number of right predictions within the present, there is no purpose to suppose this one will not additionally come true. However what precisely does it imply?

What’s the God’s Eye?

The primary a part of Helaena’s prophecy is just sufficient: she’s saying Aegon II, who’s therapeutic from his accidents slowly, shall be king once more sooner or later. The wood throne may consult with the carriage he is seen taking with Larys Sturdy (Matthew Needham) en path to Essos within the episode’s closing montage, though this is not totally clear.

However what concerning the God’s Eye? Properly, this is not practically as cryptic because it sounds. If we jump over to the official Westeros map and click on Harrenhal, we are able to see that God’s Eye is the title of the massive lake straight south of the fortress (it is known as God’s Eye due to the island within the center, which seems like a pupil from above). Helaena is actually telling Aemond how he will die: by disappearing (and presumably drowning) within the lake subsequent to Harrenhal. Simply to underline this level, pay shut consideration to the scene straight after their dialog that reveals Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) flying in direction of Harrenhal on her dragon alongside Addam of Hull (Clinton Liberty). That physique of water they’re hovering over? That is God’s Eye.

Provided that Aemond is at present planning a dragon tour to Harrenhal, Helaena’s prophecy is much more ominous. Is it doable that he’ll die whereas battling Daemon there? And will Aemond’s demise even happen throughout the identical battle that Daemons sees in his imaginative and prescient, the place he presumably drowns too? We’ll have to attend till Season 3 to search out out.
