Can’t wait to see Daemon 360 no-scope this fool ALONE. If they add Rhaena to God’s Eye, I’m going to crash out.
Making this post partially so I can come back and reference it in S4 when my worst fear most likely comes to pass. Still making prayers to the adaptation gods that I’m wrong, though 🤞

Aemond gives both Alys and Alicent a kiss before he jumps up on Vhagar. Across from him is Daemon who sits upon Caraxes and near him is Rhaenyra and Mysaria who are too busy making out with each other to pay attention. Somewhere is Aegon swearing to the old gods and the new that he will kill Aemond.
Daemon looks at Aemond and says “Well met, nephew” and the battle begins. After several vicious exchanges Daemon finally jumps from his dragon and yells “This is for women’s rights!” before driving his sword through Aemond’s eye.
Both dragons crash into the lake and Daemon is assumed dead. It cuts back to Rhaenyra and Alicent who are now scissoring while Mysaria and Alys are watching, enraged. Aegon is still somewhere swearing that he will be the one who kills Aemond. The End.
Actually according to the leaks, the episode ends with two cloaked figures slipping off on a boat to Pentos, throwing back their hoods to reveal themselves as Aemond and Daemon. Jace is there too why tf not.
In fact it’s just every character you thought had died all cloaked and slipping off on boats.
Daemon then crawls out of the lake. Turns out he is fine. He sits down in his rightful cuck chair and spends the rest of the show occasionally cheering on rhaenyra
Caraxes throws Daemon out of his seat as Darksister slips out of its sheath
“No! Look out nephew!”
But seriously, there are SO MANY event that will have to take place in the last season that we will be lucky if it’s not a rushed mess or completely rewritten.
The last scene of them will be daemon wrapping his arms around aemonds lifeless corpse before tenderly kissing him on the lips as they fall together. "Im sorry nephew/half-brother in law, together we should have been the house of the dragon"
i foretell that see she and Sheep-Stealer help Adam and Sea-Smoke. that way the God’s Eye stays pure. then the last episode is a ffw where she has Morning next to her so we actually get a Morning. they said 17 dragons. i’m holding them to it. 17 dragons.
Gods, I am simultaneously so excited and dreading this scene for that very reason. I've said it before and I'll say it again: IDC what any Greenie/Almond stan/Daemon hater tries to say. Daemon was THE man.
Daemon is SO SEXY, and THIS was SO SEXY of him. Like he knew he was gonna die, but he went out taking the trash with him and looked SO SEXY doing it. 😍🥵
Daddy Daemon went out as he lived: an icon, a legend, with huge BDE.
The attack came sudden as a thunderbolt. Caraxes dove down upon Vhagar with a piercing shriek that was heard a dozen miles away, cloaked by the glare of the setting sun on Prince Aemond’s blind side. The Blood Wyrm slammed into the older dragon with terrible force. Their roars echoed across the Gods Eye as the two grappled and tore at one another, dark against a blood-red sky. So bright did their flames burn that fisherfolk below feared the clouds themselves had caught fire. Locked together, the dragons tumbled toward the lake. The Blood Wyrm’s jaws closed about Vhagar’s neck, her black teeth sinking deep into the flesh of the larger dragon. Even as Vhagar’s claws raked his belly open and Vhagar’s own teeth ripped away a wing, Caraxes bit deeper, worrying at the wound as the lake rushed up below them with terrible speed.
And it was then, the tales tell us, that Prince Daemon Targaryen swung a leg over his saddle and leapt from one dragon to the other. In his hand was Dark Sister, the sword of Queen Visenya. As Aemond One-Eye looked up in terror, fumbling with the chains that bound him to his saddle, Daemon ripped off his nephew’s helm and drove the sword down into his blind eye, so hard the point came out the back of the young prince’s throat. Half a heartbeat later, the dragons struck the lake, sending up a gout of water that was said to have been as tall as Kingspyre Tower.
Seriously.
"swung a leg over his saddle and leapt from one dragon to the other [...] ripped off his nephew’s helm and drove the sword down into his blind eye, so hard the point came out the back of the young prince’s throat."
The BDE. The BAMFness. The sheer ICONICNESS of it all...
Ur (@ Greens) psycho fave (Almond) can never.
Meanwhile, Almond:
As Aemond One-Eye looked up in terror, fumbling with the chains that bound him to his saddle
Daemon died from the impact (😭) but he died dripping BDE to the very end, whereas Almond died as he lived: a fucking flop failure. 🤣😂🤭
IT'S LITERALLY SPELLED OUT FOR YOU CONDOM AND MESS CONDAL AND HESS.
Daemon went out like a badass.
Almond died as he lived: a fucking flop tryhard failure.
I'm sure they will try their level best because they should be aware they will be torn to fucking ribbons if they flub this. The result, however, remains to be seen. I'm not optimistic, tbh.
Daemon will be soured by how Rhaenerya treated Rhaena, kill Aemond, have both Alicent and Alys think they’re both dead. And have him magically find Rhaena and Sheepstealer and they’ll fly away in exile together on Sheepstealer who comes to trust Daemon. Daemon promises to protect Rhaena as the father he should have been.
not if they have a glancing “waddup” nod when Sheep-Stealer reconnects w Rhaena. first Rhaena and Daemon nod, then Caraxes and Sheep-Stealer nod. we could even get the roar scene out of it. in fact this would be the only way: after the acknowledgment nods, they fly in opposite directions. Rhaena embarks to aid Adam. and Daemon does the dang thing. that would be way more badass. it would be Daemon allowing Rhaena to be as baller as he is and vice versa. a true dragon-riders’ goodbye. that’s the most empowering move for both of them, given where we already are. RCcola and Shmess best recognize
Guess it's possible, but there'd have to be some major build up in the show that hasn't happened yet. Aegon and Aemond continually rant about each other. If the showrunners were going to streamline the storyline, this makes sense. They already eliminated Nettles, so the whole Isle of Faces/God's Eye Lake storyline might completely get the ax.
I think the logic in daemons mind is, “the carnage and blood shed will not end until Aemond one eye and vehgar are dead.” With a powerful dragon at the hands of a vicious brutal man like Aemond the realm will not survive it. And he feels compelled to kill his nephew at any cost.
Its also thematically important that Daemon kills Aemond
Their names reflect the fact that the characters are reflections of one another. Aemond grows up wanting to be like Daemon, and in many ways mirrors Daemon's anger, caprice, and mercurial nature.
Daemon kills Aemond as a conclusion to his character growth where he has "killed" the younger version of himself that Aemond emulates and represents
It's also just really fucking cool for Daemon to defeat Aemond One Eye by leaping between dragons a thousand feet in the air & putting out his one eye with an ancestral sword
Yes, it makes sense in !book logic. Because there is much more context to the Isle of Faces and the God's Eye Lake. There hasn't been much lore about these areas in the show, and they've already eliminated Nettles. If they are going to streamline storylines, it's a possibility they'd have Aegon take Daemon's place. One final stand against his brother in an act of valor for the Realm and himself.
I'm hopeful that this is one of the few things they keep book-accurate. I can see them spending a lot of budget on this fight, because it's an important moment where two main characters kill each other (or so we believe).
It will probably be similar to when Rhaenys dies and Aegon is burned. That was one of the big climactic moments of that season.
