"You will wed the king." Maggy the Frog made a big prophecy to Cersei about her future, starting by dashing her hopes of marrying Prince Rhaegar Targaryen. Instead, she said she'd marry the King, and that she would still Queen. This came to pass when she married Robert Baratheon, King after leading the Rebellion against Aerys II Targaryen. "Six-and-ten for him, and three for you." Again, straightforward enough. Cersei had three children, none of them to Robert, while he himself fathered a lot of bastards. "Gold shall be their crowns and gold their shrouds." This is where things get a bit cloudier. Does the crown refer simply to their hair, or an actual crown? All of her children have the famously golden Lannister locks, though only Joffrey and Tommen have been King. Meanwhile, Joffrey is dead, Myrcella is in the show but not the books, and Tommen's alive in both (but odds are he won't remain that way). "And when your tears have drowned you, the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you." The standout part of the prophecy. Once all of Cersei's children have died, she will be killed by the valonqar. That means 'little brother' in High Valyrian, so just who could it be?
NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far.
A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
