George R.R. Martin Quote

Hear me, Daenerys Targaryen. The glass candles are burning. Soon comes the pale mare, and after her the others. Kraken and dark flame, lion and griffin, the sun's son and the mummer's dragon. Trust none of them. Remember the Undying. Beware the perfumed seneschal. Reznak? Why should I fear him? Dany rose from the pool. Water trickled down her legs, and gooseflesh covered her arms in the cool night air. If you have some warning for me, speak plainly. What do you want of me, Quaithe?Moonlight shown in the woman's eyes. To show you the way. I remember the way. I go north to go south, east to go west, back to go forward. And to touch the light I have to pass beneath the shadow. She squeezed the water from her silvery hair. I am half-sick of riddling. In Qarth I was a beggar, but here I am a queen. I command you- Remember the Undying. Remember who you are. The blood of the dragon. I remember the Undying. , they called me. Three mounts they promised me, three fires, and three treasons. One for blood and one for gold and one for . . . Your Grace? Missandei stood in the door of the queen's bedchamber, a lantern in her hand. Who are you talking to? Dany glanced back toward the persimmon tree. There was no woman there. No hooded robe, no lacquer mask, no Quaithe.
