Chapter 5 Have you ever roasted yourself?
There are many prophecies in "A Song of Ice and Fire", more than 90% of which have come true, including the prophecy of the Dothraki old woman to Daenerys: her child is a horse that rides the world.
This "horse" does not predict that she will give birth to a horse.
The Dothraki people have a special feeling and worship for horses. They drink horse milk when they are born, eat horse meat and drink kumis when they grow up, ride fierce horses when they are alive, and kill the best horses to be buried with themselves when they die.
"Horse" is a metaphor for strong boys by the Dothraki people.
Unfortunately, the prophecy was still misunderstood. Daenerys did not give birth to a child, or in other words, her children were not boys, but three dragons!
Dragons, the limit of the world's power, are not horses that ride the world?
The second-generation Daenerys who has watched the hit TV series "Game of Thrones" naturally understands the old woman's prophecy better than Jorah and everyone else now.
But she couldn't say this to anyone, and she didn't dare to say it. If she did, the dragon egg, which was originally inconspicuous, might be snatched away, and she might even lose her life.
Even a fool knows that dragons are far more dangerous than any powerful khal.
Mmp, the prophecy is so accurate, how can they not prevent black magic? The witches in Horselord City are too biased.
Well, Drogo's death is also a relief for her, but the problem is that the time she traveled through is too unfortunate. If Daenerys quickly erases the dark thoughts in her mind, since she has come and knows the witch's vicious plan, she will never let the child abort again, let alone sacrifice the child to the devil.
Losing the baby may save Khaleesi's life, and the child is not hers at this time. She will keep this child.
Dany made a decision in her heart and rejected Jorah's plan to "elope" with her again. Going with him is a dead end, and she will probably not even leave the grassland.
After Ilichiqi brought hot water, red wine and other items, Dany used red wine to clean Drogo's wound, but it was almost useless. Purple and black pus and blood kept flowing while she was wiping. After half an hour of tossing and turning, Dany had no choice but to soak silk in poppy milk and boil it, and then tightly wrapped it around Drogo's chest several times.
It can't cure the disease, but it can numb the wound and relieve his pain.
Instructing Ilichiqi to use cotton cloth to clean Drogo's body, she also instructed Doreya to move out a box.
It was a cedar box with bronze decorations, 30cm wide, high, and one meter long.
"Doreya, put my bed here." Dany pointed to the bonfire in the center of the yurt.
The khal's yurt was very large, with an area of 200 square meters. There was an open-air circle on the top of the center, and a "fireplace" built with iron plates was set up on the ground below. The blazing fire was flying in it, bringing warmth to the cool night.
"Will it be too hot to get so close?" Doreya hesitated.
"I'm not afraid of heat."
This is the truth.
As soon as she came, she found that the "real dragon body" of the Targaryen family was real. At least Daenerys didn't feel the scorching heat of the sun.
While Doreah was making the bed, Daenerys opened the cedar box. It was filled with soft velvet, and three huge "stone" eggs lay on it.
They were almost as big as bird eggs, but compared with the single-colored bird eggs, the stone eggs that Dany's fingers stroked were much more beautiful.
In her previous life, she was born in an ordinary family and had never seen top jewelry with her own eyes, but she was 100% sure that the Heart of the Ocean on the Titanic and the sapphire on the crown of the Queen of England were not even lumps of earth compared to the three dragon eggs.
These three dragon eggs were a wedding gift from Illyrio, the governor of Pentos, to her. They were fossilized dragon eggs from the Shadow Land, which had existed for tens of millions of years and had been petrified into crystals (ps). Does it look like it is made of fine ceramics, glaze or glass? Especially the colorful patterns on the surface, so exquisite that people think it is inlaid with jewels and diamonds.
The surface of the three dragon egg fossils is covered with tiny scales. As Dany fiddles with them, they emit a metallic luster in the sunset.
One is dark green with bronze spots, and a green dragon is bred inside; one is light milky white with golden stripes on it, a white dragon; the last one is black, like the ocean at midnight, with vibrant dark red waves and whirlpools.
As Dany touches it, the dragon egg rises with hot steam, and the hot and burning feeling from it makes her almost moan with comfort.
"Doreya, come and touch it, is the dragon egg hot?" She retracted her palm and turned to the maid.
Doreya didn't understand, and rubbed the three dragon eggs back and forth, wondering: "It's cold, the same as before?"
Dany waved her hand and asked her to prepare dinner, uh, the big fat goose.
Dany ate a small portion of the four or five pound goose, a goose leg and half a goose breast.
The goose meat was stewed with turnips and apples, which was surprisingly delicious. Dany dipped her black bread in the soup and ate almost three pounds of food.
Hmm, this little girl's physique is really good, strong and durable, could it be because of the blood of the real dragon?
"Hiccup Doreah, give the rest of the goose meat to Ser Jorah. Irri, Jhiqui, help me wash my body." Dany burped tiredly.
Irri and Jhiqui were Dothraki and preferred to eat roasted horse meat. Doreah had a small appetite and was full after half a bowl of soup.
Ser Jorah, on the other hand, was a foreigner like Dany and was not used to the food of horse people.
After taking a bath and watching Irri feed a large bag of thick horse milk to the sleepy Drogo, Dany prepared to sleep.
There were only three people in the quiet and empty tent. Drogo, who was not far away, was stimulated by the black magic and his body twitched from time to time, occasionally emitting a small and rough groan. Dany slept on the side of the bed near the campfire, and Irri slept with her outside.
Every night, three maids took turns sleeping with her in bed to take care of her daily life.
The centaur girl was very generous. Even though her own khal was about to die, she fell asleep after covering herself with a feather quilt.
Dany was naked and pressed three dragon eggs tightly against her skin, as if absorbing the energy representing vitality and the Force.
This was not an illusion. Dragon eggs really helped heal wounds.
Daenerys was a princess of a fallen country. A few months before she was born, her father and brother's throne was snatched away by the usurper Robert Baratheon. If it weren't for a loyal old knight who took her and Viserys to escape to Braavos, she would probably follow in her nephew's footsteps and fall against the wall, breaking into a pool of red and white meat.
Before she was five years old, she had a few years of comfortable life as a commoner under the care of the old knight. After the old knight died of illness, her younger brother took young Daenerys to travel around the nine federations.
From the age of five to 13, in order to avoid the pursuit of the assassins of the usurper, they traveled tens of thousands of miles - not an exaggeration, tens of thousands of miles.
The two silver-haired Targaryens appeared in the narrow streets and alleys of several city-states in the western continent of Essos.
At first, the governors, lords and business tycoons who ruled the free trade cities were happy to receive the descendants of Targaryen, but as Robert Baratheon became more and more stable on the Iron Throne, the doors that were originally open to them were closed one by one, and the lives of the two siblings became increasingly difficult.
Over the years, they pawned all their jewelry and even their mother's crown.
The coins they obtained were soon spent, and they became the laughing stock of those who knew them. In the taverns and alleys of Pentos, people nicknamed Viserys the "Beggar King". As for Daenerys, she was cowardly and timid, and she didn't dare to ask what others called her.
As a result, Daenerys, who was short of food and clothing, was stunted since childhood, grew like a bean sprout, had no breasts and no buttocks, and was in fear of the wrath of Viserys's sleeping dragon for a long time. She also seemed to be submissive and hunched like a little old woman.
If it weren't for the world's most beautiful bloodline in "Ice and Fire", Drogo probably wouldn't have looked down on her - at first, Viserys was always worried that his sister wouldn't be sold.
Well, every Targaryen is a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and their family has the genetic inheritance of appearance and temperament. She did n't
get her first period until she was 13 years old, and she had never ridden a horse before, so she rode long distances during the day.
In the early days, the hard life of a nomad made it almost unbearable for her, and Daenerys seriously considered suicide for relief.
It can be said that in the world of "Ice and Fire", Daenerys is the most miserable person. Compared with her, the people of the Wolf family are nothing compared to her.
Dead father, dead mother, dead brothers, losing the country (the North) is miserable?
Dany has experienced it a long time ago. Let's put aside the national hatred and family hatred. As far as her personal experience is concerned, she grew up in poverty since she was a child. It was not easy to meet Drogo who was really good to her, and then she lost her lover, backer, and son in a few days.
The future will continue to be miserable. The people of the Wolf family still have a chance to turn over, but she has been falling into the bottomless abyss and has never stopped.
Who dares to be more miserable than me? !
Okay, I'm getting off topic.
Daenerys was physically and mentally injured that day, on the verge of death, and almost committed suicide.
And it was the dragon egg that changed her physical and mental state.
Through soul communication with the dragon in the dragon egg in her sleep, her injuries healed overnight. From the flesh to the soul, it seemed to be cleansed, full of vitality, as if reborn.
This is a fantasy world with dragons and magic.
Daenerys's blood is different from that of ordinary people.
"Little baby, give mother strength, dragon baby, give mother strength." Dany held the black dragon egg and whispered like chanting a spell.
Uh, it was in Chinese.
Except for the continuous rolling heat waves, there was no other abnormality in the dragon egg.
Dany placed the dragon egg next to the feather pillow, turned sideways, and looked at the flames close at hand with changing eyes.
"Since I've taken over someone's body, I have to do my best to protect their baby. I have to give it a try to stay alive."
Gritting her teeth, Dani stretched her palm towards the jumping flames. When she was still in modern society, she often saw various videos on Douyin that challenged the limits of barbecue, such as roasting popsicles and roasting the air.
Today, she wanted to ask loudly: Who of you has roasted yourself alive?
Dani wanted to roast human flesh, well, roast her own flesh.
(ps: Regarding the origin of Dany's dragon eggs, because of the prequel to Ice and Fire released by old Martin last year - "Blood and Fire", many people believe that those were the three eggs that Alliser (you can regard her as a copycat version of Arya) stole from Rhaena Targaryen and sold to Aquaman.
In fact, to answer this question, it is OK to find out the time when Martin wrote.
In 1991, "A Song of Ice and Fire: A Game of Thrones" was completed. In 2018, because the sixth book "Bitter Winds" was repeatedly postponed for seven or eight years in a row - that guy laid too much groundwork in the early stage and could not be concluded, he came up with "Blood and Fire" - I personally feel that the content is poor and not worth reading.
Well, it is mainly straightforward. The core content has already appeared in "A Song of Ice and Fire". The story conflict and character fullness are far behind "Ice and Fire".
When Martin first wrote A Song of Ice and Fire in 1991, he didn't expect his book to be such a big hit - in fact, his A Song of Ice and Fire only became a hit after Game of Thrones became popular. In the early settings, it was clearly stated in words that dragon eggs are fossils from tens of millions of years ago.
They are definitely not dragon eggs from more than a hundred years ago, because he didn't set up the detailed plot of Princess Rhaena at all at that time.
So, no matter what old Martin thinks now, I only think that dragon eggs come from fossils in the Shadow Land - this is how dragon eggs appear to be rare but not extinct. If there were only three eggs left in the world, they would have been collected by dignitaries long ago, so how could poor little Dany get the chance?
Illyrio must not have known that she could hatch eggs, otherwise he would not have sold her to Drogo.
