Daemon and Rhaenyra appear to be sharing a quiet moment in this new still released by HBO. Though Daemon looks much the same as he did in Season 1, Rhaenyra’s hair is noticeably different and she appears to be attired for battle.

Many fans are speculating that DAemon is whispering his fabled line from the book Fire and Blood: “An eye for an eye, a son for a son. Lucerys shall be avenged.”

Rhaenyra looks ahead with a grim expression as she discovers the remains of her son, Prince Lucerys. This shot is exactly similar to the one from the trailer where she is looking over at Shipbreaker Bay with Storm’s End in the distance.

Her clothes and riding gloves are vaguely similar to what young Rhaenyra wore while riding Syrax in Season 1, and it’s evident she has landed after flying here on dragonback.

Otto Hightower may lose his chain of office in Season 2, but he will not lose his daughter’s confidence. Here, we see him with Alicent, either comforting her or, most likely, plotting.

The picture appears to be from the period when he was still the Hand of the King, or based on the chests of luggage, just after he was dismissed.

In this picture, he is sitting in an armchair at what appears to be King’s Landing.
