Game of Thrones season eight, episode five, is set to see Daenerys Targaryen (played by Emilia Clarke) and her dragons take on Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) for the Iron Throne. She believes she is the rightful heir to her throne and has shown she is willing to do anything to fulfil her destiny. In a shocking twist, fans of the HBO show think she is about to kill fan favourite Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) after she heads to King’s Landing. She headed South after her brother Jon Snow (Kit Harington) revealed he was the rightful heir to the throne and of Targaryen blood.

Arya and sister Sansa (Sophie Turner) soon became worried for his safety in light of the revelation. After Arya’s admission to the Hound (Rory McCann) she was heading to King’s Landing for unfinished business and wouldn’t be returning to Winterfell after the battle, fans are worried. One Reddit theorist said: "I believe that Arya is headed to King's Landing to attempt to kill Dany. I believe Arya will intentionally fail this assassination, forcing Dany to kill her, in full view of Jon. "This will allow Jon to finally see Dany for what she is. Jon kills Dany... And there you have it, the Prince that was Promised." "Jon is in danger and in typical Jon fashion he is too blinded by his emotions to recognise this. "Sansa and Arya are not blinded by emotions; Sansa goes full Littlefinger and tells Tyrion, meanwhile Arya rides South. Arya's real target is Dany - the Starks' values have always centred around protecting family.

"Arya and Sansa know that Jon is in danger." Sansa saw first-hand her ruthless streak when dismissing her worries about the army’s fatigue and is so blind by power. She could be about to go down the same route of her father Aerys Targaryen - the Mad King - as soon as she gets on the Iron Throne. It would not come as a huge surprise to fans who noticed Daenerys’ Mad Queen glare at Jon in the most recent episode. The celebrations for the Battle of Winterfell success were going on and everyone was congratulating Jon for his role.
