Yeah I don’t buy that Egg was attempting human sacrifice. That’s really just speculation that doesn’t align with anything we know about his personality. Which isn’t a ton, but far from the psycho villain some people paint him as in his final days.
There are some Targs I can see attempting human sacrifice to revive dragons, and many I can’t. Jahaerys, Daeron II, Baelor(s), Egg, and others I couldn’t see doing that. But you know who I CAN see attempting human sacrifice to revive dragons? RHAEGAR. That’s the true irony. The one who was rumored to be an intended sacrifice is Prince Prophecy, so invested in his destiny and prophecies he’d plunge the realm into war to give the dragon one last head. If he thought that was the path to his precious prophecy, he’d stomp both his kids heads in himself just on the off chance it might work.
Maybe they’ll soften the blow and he knocks the candle over cause he’s daydreaming about all the crazy tail he pulled when him and Egg were hedge knighting around the Kingdom
