The Final Duels in 'House of the Dragon': Speculations and Fantasies

As the final two episodes of House of the Dragon approach, fans are eagerly speculating about the main contenders. While it's essential to focus on the clarity and tension the show presents, it's fascinating to explore the myriad of fan theories and fantastical engagements that extend beyond the immediate narrative.

One of the central questions fans are pondering is:

Who do you think will be the biggest villain in the final two episodes of House of the Dragon?

Many believe it will come down to a face-off between Aemond and Daemon. Others, particularly those with a deep interest in the dragons, hope that Vhaegor, Daemon's dragon, might play a significant role. The creators of House of the Dragon have done an exceptional job with the CGI, especially in the depiction of Vhaegor, who is described as a cross-breed between a dragon and a wyrm—a concept that veers away from the traditional definitions found in popular literature and media.

The fantasy world of House of the Dragon is rich with detail, but for those seeking further depth, there's a wealth of backstory that hasn't yet been explored. In my world, dragons are arrogance itself, feared and revered, while wyrms are minor demons summoned from hell, bound to the surface realm only as long as they remain unslaughtered. Upon their demise, they return to the hell realm, much like the dark magic practiced in Old Valyria. This dark history, including the use of dragonfire and magic, adds layers of depth to the characters and their motivations.

Adding to this is the question of the Long Night, a war that lasted for generations, and the Valyrian Dragonrider families. Even though the Targaryens are renowned, they are not the top 20 dragonriders. Their distinctive qualities are shrouded in mystery—what made them special? Perhaps it was a daughter's dream involving a future revealing the Doom and its origins. Providing clarity on this could offer a compelling new narrative layer to the series.

As for the future of the dragons and their riders, my hope is not that they bond, but that they ditch their riders and engage in spectacular duels. Aemond and Daemon in a sword fight would be a thrilling climax, but perhaps Vhaegor against Rhaenyra could be the final showdown, with Vhaegor facing his inevitable death. This is the extension of the dragon legacy, after all.

While we await the final episodes, discussions like these keep the fan community engaged and excited. Regardless of how the story unfolds, the journey of House of the Dragon has been a fascinating exploration of these fantastical elements, and the upcoming episodes promise to bring everything to a thrilling conclusion.
