🐺 Prologue 🐺
As a huge Game of Thrones fan, I listen/watch loads of podcasts and youtube videos. Many people dare to predict what is going to happen in season 8. Off course it is very difficult to say as the writers and producers like to surprise us at every possible occasion. I did a post several months ago after I just started here on steemit about my predictions around Jaimie Lannister.
Today I found grounds to do another post about Game of Thrones. I have just started re-watching season 1 today when I noticed something that I believe not many/no-one has noticed so far and I want to make a prediction based on this fact.
A pivotal scene in season 1, I might do another post about its' implications!
🐺 Season 1 episode 5, the Wolf and the Lion 🐺
To refresh your memory a bit, in this episode we see Loras Tyrell beat the Mountain in jousting after which the mountain cuts down his horse and has a duel with his brother the Hounds, Tyrion is being taken to Lysa Arryn by Catelyn Stark to stand trial, Eddard Stark and Jaimie Lannister have a duel and the episode ends with Eddard being struck in the leg by one of the Lannister soldiers.

🐺 Arya's List 🐺
The scene I'd like to focus on is about Arya. During her time in King's Landing she trains with Syrio Forel in her swordmanship skills. One of the exercises Syrio gives her is to catch a kitten/cat. She is so into it, that she chases a cat all over the place, without realising where she ends up.
One of these chases makes her end up in the dungeons of the Red Keep. This is where she overhears Lord Varys talk to Illyrio Mopatis, but she doesn't know who they are and what exactly they are talking about. Whilst talking, Varys closes the way back into the castle, so Arya has to find another way back in. This is where we see her exiting the sewages in King's Landing.
This is the scene that I'm talking about
I believe this is how Arya is going to complete her list and kill Cersei (and maybe the Mountain). Besides being reunited in the North, she doesn't have a big part to play over there and I believe she will want to complete her list (maybe upon learning that Cersei won't send reinforcements). Many people believe in the Valonqar prophecy, but this is something from the books. What could happen is that Arya will use the face of Jaimie to do this, but I believe it's going to be Arya who will kill Cersei and she will fool them all by entering the Red Keep the way that only her and maybe a few other people will know about.
What do you think of my theory, do you have your own ones? Let's exchange theories. Do you like my Game of Thrones posts, shall I do more of them? I do have a few more theories I could do posts on.
Thank you for reading.
