Subterranean Demons

Thanks for the response. I definitely am curious if there is something going on with another deadly ancient race and think there are definitely connections to the celestial bodies. One of the things I have been wondering about for a long time is the idea that the Others are connected to the Moon. My intuition is that sets of three are really important and I think the Targaryens could be like Sun Gods of the upper world, the Children are the Star gods that dwell on earth, and the Others are the Moon gods that occupy the underworld. Some of the lines in the prologue of AGOT just seem to connect to the moon when we are first introduced to the Others "Perhaps he was wrong. Perhaps it had only been a bird, a reflection on the snow, some trick of the moonlight. What had he seen, after all?" and "No human metal had gone into the forging of that blade. It was alive with moonlight, translucent, a shard of crystal so thin that it seemed almost to vanish when seen edge-on" I would be happy to share more of my ideas on this tomorrow and I will reread your comment again too. I just wanted to share that thought before I passed out.
