Recently leaked photos from the "Game of Thrones" set in Spain sent social media into frenzy. The images confirmed that Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen would finally meet in the upcoming season of the HBO series. Now, new leaks hint at the possibility of a pivotal moment that fans have been waiting for years.
A series of new on-set pictures obtained by Daily Mail revealed a rendezvous between Snow (Kit Harrington), Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) and Lannister (Peter Dinklage) on a beach. Davos Seaworth (Liam Cunningham), Missandei (Nathalie Emmanuel) and Varys (Conleth Hill) were also spotted filming scenes on the same day.

Some of the leaked images show Snow and Targaryen on set holding different dragonheads for the purpose of adding in visual effects. "Game of Thrones" fansite Watchers on the Wall believes Snow is petting Rhaegal, the dragon named after his father, Rhaegar Targaryen, leading to speculation that one of "Game of Thrones" most popular theories might finally be coming true.
In George R. R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" novel series, which has inspired the hit HBO series, the Khaleesi has a vision about a prophecy that says "the dragon has three heads." According to popular fan theory, the three dragonheads symbolizes the three riders who will fly Targaryen's three dragons and eventually defeat the White Walkers. These three riders could very well be Snow, Lannister and the Mother of Dragons.
In Season 6, it was revealed that Targaryen and Snow, who was initially believed to be Ned Stark's bastard, are related; however, there are theories that claim that Lannister also belongs to the Lannister family. His looks in the book, his fascination with the dragons and the fact that the Mad King is said to have taken certain "liberties" with Lannister's mother Joanna all support this theory.
Moreover, the trio has one more thing in common - the mothers of all three characters tragically died during childbirth. Now that all of them have come together, there is a possibility that all three dragon riders will join forces and head to Westeros to claim the Iron Throne.
