Chapter Forty-Six - Daenerys 5 - A Game of Thrones | A Song of Ice and Fire - a podcast by A Game of Thrones
from 2020-07-13T00:00
Daenerys and Khal Drogo go for their second trimester gender-reveal with the Dosh Khaleen. A snack of raw horse’s heart, sex in public, and a celebratory feast - all in a typical day for a hard-working Khaleesi. The portents are what the happy couple were looking for: a boy, strong, healthy, oh, and the long-prophesied Khal who will bring all the people of the world into one great Khalasar...so that’ll be nice. Mac and Simon pay homage.
Chapter Review:
Daenerys Targaryen visits the Dosh Khaleen and manages to chow down an entire raw horse's heart. That is the ultimate test, and elicits a positive reaction from the old crones. The unborn child will be the Stallion who Mounts the World. Prophecy said that he’d arrive eventually to unite all people into one giant Khalasar (but then, who would they plunder from?)
After a bath and a bit of hanky-panky, a feast is thrown. It’s all fun and games until Dany’s brother Viserys arrives and really rains on the whole parade. He’s drunk and feels that he’s owed the Iron Throne.
Viserys gets belligerent. Threatens to cut Dany’ baby out there and then. Khal Drogo relents. Viserys will have his golden crown. The bloodriders hold him down as Dany watches on, while Drogo dumps molten gold on her brother’s head. Dany observes that he cannot have been a true dragon, because fire wouldn’t have killed him.
