*Game of Thrones finale spoilers ahead*
On Monday night, Game of Thrones came to an end with the series finale answering some of our longtime burning questions, such as who would take the Iron Throne (hi, Bran), and leaving some others unanswered.
It was unclear where exactly Arya was sailing, apart from to explore West of Westeros; we don't know much about Jon Snow's future, except he's gone back North to live with the Wildlings; and no one knows where Drogon flew Dany's body off to.

It's these loose ends which are leading fans to believe there could be a host of spin-offs in the works (not a crazy idea, considering spin-off Bloodmoon is already in the pipeline), with the question of Drogon and Dany causing the biggest stir.
To recap, in the final episode, after Jon Snow kills Queen Daenerys, her last-remaining dragon finds her body in the Red Keep. In a heartbreaking moment, Drogon nudges her body, and when he fails to wake her up, works out that his mother is gone, just like his two brothers.
To add to the heartbreak, instead of killing Jon Snow in revenge, Drogon decides to burn down the Iron Throne with dragonfire - the object of desire at the centre of all this death and destruction.
After this, Drogon scoops his mother up in his claw and flies away, marking the mother-and-son's final appearance in the show. But fans have been left wondering: where did they go?

Later on in the episode at King Bran's first council meeting, Samwell Tarly reveals that Drogon "was last spotted flying East, toward-" before Bronn cuts him off. "The farther away the better," Bronn says.
We never find out where Drogon was spotted flying, and fans think this has been purposefully left open to make way for a follow up series. Some fans even think Drogon is flying East to bring Dany back to life.
The theory is that Drogon was flying his mother to Eastern regions, such as Asshai, Mereen, Myr and Volantis, to find a red priest or priestess to recruit their powers to bring her back to life.

Of course, if legit, and Dany is brought back to life by a red priestess, it could leave an wide open space for a Dany sequel in a few years time. Exciting or what?!
Another major theory about where Drogon is taking Dany is to Old Valyria, an ancient city in Essos and the home of Dany's House of Targaryen ancestors and their dragons.
Valyria was destroyed four centuries before in a catastrophic volcanic event known as the Doom of Valyria and the only major family to survive were the Targaryens, who were living on Dragonstone at the time. So there's a theory the pair could be travelling to Dragonstone, too.
Fans believe Drogon was taking Dany 'home'. Poetic, don't you think?

Either way, you can't deny the scene where Drogon flew Dany off was so sad. Drogon is one of the most terrifying creatures we've ever seen brought to life on screen, yet he somehow gave us one of the most moving scenes we've ever experienced in Thrones.
RIP Dany and see ya, Drogon. It's been real.
