I know absolutely nothing about this prophecy or who AA is supposed to be, whose prophecy that is, etc. Apparently it's one of those things I just read and didn't care much about. So, from this ignorant point of view:
Why does this remind me of the funeral pyre that gave birth to Dany's dragons? Wasn't there a phenomenon in the sky at that point? Can't remember. Smoke = funeral pyre, salt = Dany's tears. Dragons out of stone = well, you get the idea.
"When the red star bleeds and the darkness gathers, Azor Ahai shall be born again amidst smoke and salt to wake dragons out of stone."
