that man was fighting four nikkas at once
WITH TWO SWORDS
meera's bytchmade daddy had to cheat to win cuz the sword of the morning was slicing through them like butter.
Imagine if they lost? that's a good what if. what if ned stark died and all the stark kids were never born.
would john be raised by arthur dayne? would he be brought to join Dany and Viserys? would robert still have become king?
@CHICAGO forgive me but technically this isn't my what if this time. I would like to speculate on this as it's so far removed from what actually happened that there's no chance of spoilers.
With that being said, I think Arthur Dayne raises Jon (Aegon) in exile. Rhaegar was already dead, this was around the time the Mad King is killed, and so the House of Targaryan had already fell.
Similar to Daenarys and Viserys, they couldn't stay in Westeros as that fat fakkit usurper would have had them killed to consolidate power. He would have tried to have Jon killed too.
I think Arthur Dayne escapes with Jon and links up with Daenarys and Vicerys and Jon grows up with them, cussing and ranting about his rightful place as king, cause he would have been next in line, not Vicerys. You just gotta wonder if he would have been an emotional wreck like Viserys since technically he would have been in the same situation (fatherless).
You gotta wonder of Vicerys would decide to get him out the way, so that the throne would fall to him instead of Jon. And he probably would have thought Jon was unworthy, what with him being half Stark and the reason their family was deposed, not to mention the black hair. Maybe he wouldn't have considered Jon a true Targaryan.
