Why Daenerys Targaryen Is Game of Thrones' Prince That Was Promised

In the aforementioned passage, there are a few key terms that have undeniable connections to Dany. The red comet appears when her dragons hatch from their fossilized rock eggs in the funeral pyre for Khal Drogo, which refers to "the red star bleeds" and "wake dragons out of stone" parts of the prophecy. Furthermore, Daenerys is born on Dragonstone, a volcanic island, in the middle of a raging storm. So, the "salt" could describe the sea surrounding the island, and the "smoke" part of the prophecy might refer to the volcano, or how Dany was "reborn" after emerging from the fire of Drogo's pyre unscathed.
