Game of Thrones - God of Fire and Death

Thoros of Myr sort of bears confession to Melisandre when she visits the Brotherhood Without Banners and their oft-resurrected leader, Beric Dondarrion that he didn’t necessarily believe in the Lord of the Light, sort of going through the motions, considered something of a spiritual member but absent the belief. But when his friend, Beric, was at the point of death, Thoros spoke the words because he didn’t want him to perish. And multiple times later Beric is still walking, talking, thinking, and active but the body is dead, given the ability to continue on even though he should be buried six feet under with a prayer offered in remembrance. Melisandre is given the proof she needs, as her Fire God has given life to a man who should be dead. This is perfect motivation for Melisandre to encourage her King, Stannis, to not rest on his laurels and abandon the mission of pursuing the Iron Throne.

For Arya, her god is quite different than Beric’s or Melisandre’s. When asked what god she believes in, Arya proclaims, “Death”. And since her association with Jaqer, there have been certain victims unlucky enough to be visited upon by Arya’s god. Melisandre looked into Arya’s eyes and saw darkness. Arya wanted The Hound to die. She wanted Tywin dead. Not always does her god give Arya what she so desires. That doesn’t mean Arya won’t call on Death again. And Death, Arya’s god, is a frequent visitor in Westeros. Death has visited many.
