Game Of Thrones: 8 Outrageous Fan Theories About Daenerys Targaryen
5. She's A Time-Traveller
"To go north, you must go south. To reach the west, you must go east. To go forward you must go back, and to touch the light you must pass beneath the shadow."
Quaithe is the very mysterious (and rather creepy) character we meet in Qarth, the one who makes the aforementioned to prophecies to Daenerys about where she must travel. She has an instant interest in Daenerys and her future well-being, but nothing is known about her past or her true motives. One theory has it that the reason she's helping Daenerys is because she is actually Daenerys herself, who has travelled back from the future to warn her of what's to come.
She hides her face for this reason, and Daenerys' skin tingles when touching her because of the connection between them, and this is how she knows so much about the Mother of Dragons' future.
This isn't actually the only crazy time-travel theory in the series, with another being that Bran travelled back in time from a future in which Westeros has been completely destroyed, and possesses Jaime to push him from the window, thus setting off the events of the series, but making for a (slightly) better future. Anyway, moving swiftly onwards...
