Finally, after a year of agony, we know Jon Snow's fate. In tonight's episode of "Game of Thrones," Ser Davos was able to convince Melisandre to try bringing Jon back to life. After a little sponge bath, some grooming and some chanting, Melisandre's magic ends up doing the trick. Even though at first it seemed as though the spell did not work, the episode ended with Jon opening his eyes and breathing once more. What a relief to finally know that Jon is alive again, at least for now.
"We ask the Lord to shine his light, and lead a soul out of darkness. We beg the Lord to share his fire, and light a candle that has gone out. From darkness, light. From ashes, fire. From death, life."
However, there could potentially be some backlash here. In season one, when Daenerys asks a witch to save Khal Drogo's life, her unborn son, Rhaego, ends up dying in Drogo's place. After he is saved, Drogo is in a permanently vegetative state and Daenerys decides to end his life anyway.
Also, in season three, Arya and the Hound meet Thoros and Beric. The Hound kills Beric and then Thoros brings him back to life by pleading to the Lord of Light in common tongue. Once alive again, Beric tells Arya, "Every time I come back, I'm a bit less."
We don't know how this resurrection will effect Jon, but he may come back "a bit less." Next week, will Jon be talking and acting normally, or will he be a changed man? And will that change be for the better or for the worse?
Also, how will he react when he remembers Olly's betrayal?
In this game, when characters play with magic in order to manipulate life and death, there are consequences. I fear that there may be consequences to come for Jon Snow and those around him.
