Many fans believed that Azor Ahai would reveal themselves during the Battle of Winterfell. After all, this was the moment that the world of Westeros needed a saviour the most, the time when the realms of the living were in absolute dire straights.

We all watched the Battle of Winterfell, right? Things were not good for our Northern friends! Edd died, Theon Greyjoy died, Jorah and Lyanna Mormont died, almost the entire Dothraki army died, and both of Daenerys’ dragons were badly wounded. They won the battle, though, when Arya Stark leapt from the darkness behind the Night King to stab him with a Valyrian steel dagger right in the stomach, where he was first wounded by the Children of the Forest. This was a truly triumphant moment. The Night King crumbled into icy ash, and every single White Walker, wight and all the other zombie creatures he turned melted away with him.

Arya’s hero moment had many fans asking, could she be Azor Ahai? Previously, the youngest Stark daughter hadn’t been considered for the role because she doesn’t expressly adhere to the prophecy. And she doesn’t, so it’s not likely that she is.

Sorry to crush the truthers, but nothing about Arya fits the Azor Ahai bill. She wasn’t born amid salt and smoke under a bleeding star, she’s yet to wake dragons from stone and she isn’t the descendant of Aerys and Rhaella Targaryen.

Could this fan theory about Arya Stark hold the secret to the end of Game of Thrones?
