Game of Thrones loves its prophecies, but there might be one hidden for Daenerys from her time spent in Qarth.

In the Season 2 finale, "Valar Morghulis," Daenerys goes to the House of the Undying to find her missing dragons. She has a vision of the deceased Khal Drogo and their unborn son, but in the end she leaves them to answer the distress call of the baby dragon. Is this the ultimate fate of our dragon queen -- to save a young dragon in need?

By now it's no secret that Jon Snow is part dragon, born of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark. He's heading north of the wall, straight to the army of the dead, so it's not a stretch to say he needs help as we head into Sunday's episode.

Daenerys lost a lot in Season 1. She was sold into an abusive marriage by an apathetic brother; When she managed to turn that around and find love and leadership in her Khalassar, she lost Khal Drogo and their baby who would have been named Rhaego. The guilt of losing Drogo to witchcraft she enlisted caused Daenerys a lot of pain; she wants so badly to be with her family in the House of the Undying, but she leaves to punish herself and atone for her past actions. The dragons are her children now, and she must care for them. Jon Snow is (unbenknownst to her) the closest thing she has to family, and he may soon be in need of saving.
