There's a lot to look forward to in Game of Thrones Season 8. After all, the final season will reportedly feature the biggest battle ever filmed in cinematic history. In addition to that, it looks like Jon Snow will finally take flight. A new leak reveals that the King in the North will actually get to ride a dragon after all.
Possible Spoilers Ahead! You Have Been Warned!
The leak comes from the sixth episode of Game of Thrones Season 8 where Jon is leading the Targaryen ships to King's Landing (via IBT). Interestingly, it describes Jon as wearing a Stark/Targaryen armor while riding on Drogon ahead of the ships.
Euron Greyjoy appears to be commanding the Golden Company to use redesigned scorpions with every intention of using it on the dragon. Although the Lannister soldiers (?!) arrive at the shore, Jon and Drogon immediately get into action. Drogon breathes fire on one of the Golden Company's elephants and effectively kills several sellswords.
Euron's men finally use the scorpions on Drogon and the dragon is hit by two arrows on one wing. While Euron escapes to the Red Keep, Jon is forced to land Drogon in the Dragonpit. Euron sees this as his chance and commands the sellswords to kill the dragon along with its rider.
At this point, Jaime Lannister is desperate to get to Jon and Drogon. The reason behind it is that he is aware that the remaining wildfire is stored under the Dragonpit and if Drogon breathes fire, it could be the end of all of them.
It's certainly a tense scene. However, the leak is not yet confirmed so we would recommend taking this with a grain of salt.
Game of Thrones Season 8 premieres on HBO on April 14.
