    I thought the beast beneath the board was Rhaenys and her dragon exploding from under the floor of the dragon pit when Aegon was crowned King to go tell Rhaenyra that her crown has been stolen by the Greens. That’s why Helena said it again with more urgency when they were looking for Aegon the day King Viserys died.

    I hope they include her more! She's so underrated and so interesting

    I think the beast beneath the boards is LARYS. he can warg into rats. He listens around the castle constantly. He’s always beneath the boards

    I think her prophecy needs time to actually happen, it reads future. The time she mentioned aemond's eye to the time it actually happen takes months (or years, I'm not sure). The movie's timeline makes it feels quick. So the time they had supper and she said 'beware the beast beneath the board' I think she refers to rhaenys' dragon. But this time, when she mentioned another 'beast beneath the board' she might refer to the next tragedy, the blood and cheese.

    I feel like her gift cannot be used for her own benefits, that would make her too op, but to know others future. If she known her own future she would always be a few steps ahead.

    I think it's Blood and Cheese If you know you know It could be referring to the dragon that busted up from the ground I know it's a nit pick I just think of boards as referring to a house or a home....It seems like she is referring to a danger that is going to rise up from inside the house...either somebody sneaking in or some sort of betrayal.

    I believe her character is based on Cassandra of Homer’s Iliad Who had the gift and curse of prophecy. She could tell the future but no one believed her.

    "...beyond the boards" means a part of the house, so it has to do with the rats being focused since episode 4, when Rhaenyra escaped. I never read the book buy I always thought it's the rats and Larys.

    With the rats being prevalent in multiple scenes it made me think, what attracts rats? Blood and Cheese. Maybe they were signifying the death creeping on Viserys, or possibly the Targaryen family itself. The beauty of it is its open to the individual I guess

    What if the beast is King Jaehaerys Dragon Vermithor ? The one Daemon sings to ? And the rider Hugh Hammer ? Daemon knows where he is and the boards may be reference to under neath , not actual boards. But if Vermithor is around Kings landing still I would THINK he would know where to find him. He is the 3rd largest dragon, but now 2nd that the black dread has passed. He is almost as big as Vaeghar.

    Could be Aegon II hiding beneath the table as he tried to escape :)

    "Words Are Wind" ... "Dark Wings Dark Words" ... Seems like anything is up for debate. ❤‍🔥

    “Looking for A needle in a haystack made of needles” sounds like the easiest job I’d ever have in my life.

    It's Blood and Cheese for certain. Just look at how frightened, grim and upset she gets when she says, "There is a Beast Beneath the Boards." This prophecy is personal to her i.e Blood and Cheese.

    The actress who plays Helena said that it is in fact about Maelys beneath the boards in the dragon pit at Aegons coronation. She said she is meant to be a dreamer in the show. If you'll notice she doesn't even flinch when the Maelys comes through the boards because she already knew it would happen and that they were not going to die. It's been confirmed in an interview with the actress.

  • @mtgtinfoilthaumaturge1102

    The beast beneath the boards is the dragon that haunts her dreams. The dragon that brought the doom of valaryia. The wild dragon that had become enraged at the slavery of its young. Older than Valaryia.

    What if characters having prophecies, and some going crazy from them, come from a source similar to Bran and Hodor? And Hodor wasn't ready, prepared, or capable of resisting the insanity?

    Maesters do not believe in magic. It would explain as to why the maesters who play part on writing fire and blood never saw Haelena as a dragondreamer. Everybody in her own family ignores that fact, a maesters would have no clue.

    So Daenys “Dreamed a dream of times gone by” when destruction, fire & dragons fell from the sky! And the people of old Valyria were left no longer living (you have to excuse me I don’t know all the words of Les Miserables’s “I dreamed a dream”)
