Game Of Thrones: 10 Last Minute Predictions For Season 8

6. The Dragons & Direwolves All Die

The first season of Game of Thrones - after the cold open - properly started with the discovery of direwolves, and it ended with the rebirth of dragons into the world. One represents House Stark, and Ice, the other House Targaryen and Fire. It feels right that both should have a significant presence at the end.

Over the years, we've seen many a direwolf die, and a dragon in Season 7. These creatures are intrinsically linked to the humans they 'belong' to, and it'd be touching to see Nymeria and Ghost both in action to help save Arya and Jon.

Likewise, with the dragons seemingly being tied to White Walkers re-emerging, and again those ice and fire parallels, it'd make sense that all are extinguished from the world at the same time. The White Walkers are defeated, but ALL of the dragons are killed. The wolves die, but the pack survives.
