Its the constant "Ice and Fire" theme that leads me away from Dany as fulfilling this role, as ultimately it is Jon who fits the Ice and Fire conditions best, as currently this is all we know about the PtwP prophecy. I'd imagine we'll find out a lot more about what the Maesters know when we get more time with Sam in Oldtown. Also, speaking of Maesters, Marwyn must be due to arrive in Meereen sometime soon.

That's as much as I can do just now. Try not to talk too much until tomorrow =/

first on the PtwP and AA, note that only Melisandre seems to think that the PtwP is Azor Ahai reborn. No one else has made that claim. Some believe they are the same person (i do not), and Dany is both. Others believe that the Prince That Was Promised is a seperate entity all together. However, finding candidates for this role is harder, because we know nothing about the PtwP other than he will play a prominent role in the fight against the Others. The only other reference comes from a conversation between Melisandre and Maester Aemon:

“Make no mistake, good sers and valiant brothers, the war we’ve come to fight is no petty squabble over lands and honors. Ours is a war for life itself, and should we fail the world dies with us.”

...All of them seemed surprised to hear Maester Aemon murmur, “It is the war for the dawn you speak of, my lady. But where is the prince that was promised?”

“He stands before you,” Melisandre declared, “though you do not have the eyes to see it. Stannis Baratheon is Azor Ahai come again, the warrior of fire.”

that is literally the only time in the books where AA and PtwP are referred to as the same person. Melisandre is clearly not the most accurate red priest, or to be more correct, her skill at interpreting what she sees in her fires leaves me not 100% trusting of her (even if she truly believes what shes saying, because again of the 3 red priests we've come toknow, its clear she is the least skilled).

these damned maesters. they have the ice horn, they have their candles, they have Marwyn (who is going to A) get captured by Victarion, or B) show up in Mereen right as Vic is sacking the town.), they have Alleras (whom is very possibly Sarella Sand in disguise), and we know Jaqan H'gar is also hiding with the maesters. and i have no idea what they are actually up to
