In the end, this one more or less came to fruition. Also, Jaime's her younger brother as well (by only minutes) and his hands were on her neck, though it was a loving embrace. In the end, Tyrion did sort of kill her because it was his plan for her and Jaime to head down into the bowels of King's Landing. Cersei always took it to mean younger brother, which just fueled her hate for Tyrion even more. Now, "valonqar" apparently means young sibling. Then, whether you consider it Daenerys or Margaery Tyrell, someone younger came along and stole it all away. Cersei wed King Robert after Robert's Rebellion (after thinking she'd marry prince Rhaegar Targaryen) and all three of her kids died. Mostly though, the first part, what made it to TV, came to pass. In the books, for added zest, Maggy threw in "When your tears have drowned you, the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you." So, a ton to unpack here. "Gold shall be their crowns and gold their shrouds." That the king would have many children (bastards, in hindsight) and that Cersei would have three.

She'd be Queen until "there comes another, younger and more beautiful, to cast you down and take all that you hold dear.".

Expect that the prophecy itself got people thinking "Hey, we need to get off our asses and beat the army of the dead somehow." VERDICT: Nah, but it all worked out in the end MAGGY THE FROG Driving Cersei (mad) throughout most of her life were the words spoken to her by a woodlands witch when she was a young girl. And that sword will be Lightbringer, the Red Sword of Heroes, and he who clasps it shall be Azor Ahai come again, and that darkness shall flee before him." Based on just these clear (ish) words though, none of this really came true. But all of that came after Melisandre turned herself into old dust, considering it "Mission Accomplished." From the books: "In this dread hour, a warrior shall draw from the fire a burning sword. So with him killing her, he became the hero of legend. When you stretch out a vision to fit your needs you could say that Jon was still Azor Ahai and that the darkness that threatened the realm was Daenerys' rule. But there's no certainty here that anything Azor-related happened.

By hook or by crook, Arya became the default Azor Ahai and Melisandre's twisting, mistake-ridden path led her to helping give Arya that extra push (her previous vision about Arya closing "blue eyes" forever, the Lord of Light's magic being used to resurrect Beric a bunch of times, etc) to win back the dawn. All of this seemed to fall into place once Arya Stark shattered the Night King with a Valyrian dagger, ending his attack on humanity. Then some votes, from the Red Priestesses over in Essos, shifted to Daenerys as the word for "prince" in High Valyrian is genderless (something Missandei would point out to Dany later). Then Melisandre, and fans, looked to Jon Snow as the guy who'd dispatch the Night King. Many died (Renly Baratheon, Shireen Baratheon, etc) in their attempt to rule the realm, for the realm's own good, but Stannis proved to be a red (hah!) herring. Melisandre was all about this Azor Ahai life, thinking Stannis Baratheon was the Son of Fire reborn, becoming obsessed with making him king before the Night King launched his attack. He used a flaming sword and his warrior of light might to aid the Children of the Forest and the First Men in vanquishing the ice zombies that had spread through Westeros. THE PRINCE THAT WAS PROMISED - AKA "ALL THE LORD OF LIGHT HULLABALLOO" The most prominent prophecy, which drove people to do mad and terrible things all in the name of the greater good, was the one that foretold the return of Azor Ahai - a warrior for the Lord of Light who helped beat back the Night King and his horde thousands of years earlier when the first "Long Night" occurred. Even when those visions and predictions were hazy and double-laced at best.

Now that HBO's Game of Thrones has closed up shop, airing its series finale "The Iron Throne," we can look back and try to see what lined up prophecy-wise. People can warp and twist things around to fit with any prophecy, and those who chase down prophesies are likely to stumble in irrevocable ways. “It looks as though it might be useful but the moment you trust in it, it kicks you in the head." Notably, this illuminating line never made it to TV, appearing only in George R. "Prophecy is like a half-trained mule,” Tyrion once said.
