On [[Essos|another continent]], King [[Viserys Targaryen|Viserys]] and his sister Princess [[Daenerys Targaryen|Daenerys]] live in exile in the [[Free City]] of [[Pentos]]. They are the last descendants of [[House Targaryen]], the previous royal House of the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. Viserys plans to marry Daenerys to [[Khal]] [[Drogo]] of the [[Dothraki]] [[horselord]]s in exchange for an army to reclaim their [[Aerys II Targaryen|father]]'s [[Iron Throne|throne]].

The exiled Princess [[Daenerys Targaryen]] prepares to be presented to the [[Dothraki]] ''[[khal]]'', [[Drogo]], as her brother, King [[Viserys Targaryen]], hopes to gain a Dothraki [[military strength|army]] by making such a [[marriage]] alliance.

==Synopsis==
[[Viserys Targaryen]] presents his thirteen-year-old sister, Daenerys, with a fine silk dress. The dress is a gift from their host [[Magister]] [[Illyrio Mopatis]] of [[Pentos]], who has also promised gold and jewels so she will look like a princess. Daenerys questions Illyrio's motives, but Viserys insists that the Magister only wants to earn his good graces for when he reclaims the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. Daenerys still doesn't trust Illyrio, but knows better than to say anything for fear of making Viserys angry (which he calls "waking the [[dragon]]").

For the past half year, the exiled king [[Viserys Targaryen]] and his thirteen year old sister, Princess [[Daenerys Targaryen]], having been residing in the [[Illyrio's manse|manse]] of [[Illyrio Mopatis]], a [[Magister]] of the [[Free City]] of [[Pentos]]. Viserys wishes to win back [[Aerys II Targaryen|his father's]] [[Iron Throne|throne]] and is in need of an army, which he hopes to acquire by making a [[marriage]] alliance with a [[Dothraki]] ''[[khal]]'' who leads a large ''[[khalasar]]''.
  
Viserys is preparing to present Daenerys to the [[Dothraki]] [[horselord]], [[Khal]] [[Drogo]], in the hope that the ''khal'' will take her as his wife in exchange for soldiers to reclaim the [[Iron Throne]] of the Seven Kingdoms. He warns Daenerys not to fail him and wake the dragon, twisting one of her nipples for emphasis. Viserys adds that when they write the history of his reign they will say it began this night.

Viserys presents Daenerys with a gift from Magister Illyrio, a fine silk dress. Daenerys has to look like the princess she is, so Khal [[Drogo]] will ask for her hand in marriage. Although Daenerys is doubtful of Illyrio's motives, Viserys insists that the Magister simply wants to earn his good graces. Afraid of angering her brother (which he calls "waking the [[dragon]]"), Daenerys keeps silent about her mistrust. Viserys warns Daenerys not to fail him, and twists one of her niples to emphasize his threat. According to Viserys, when history of his reign is written, it will be said that his reign began that night.

After Viserys leaves, Daenerys thinks of [[Westeros]], a place she has never seen. She recalls the stories of her brother Crown Prince [[Rhaegar Targaryen|Rhaegar]]'s [[Battle of the Trident|death]] at the hand of [[Robert Baratheon]], her father King [[Aerys II Targaryen]]'s murder by [[Jaime Lannister|the Kingslayer]], and her [[Rhaella Targaryen|mother]] and brother's escape to [[Dragonstone]], where her mother died giving birth to her. Daenerys also recalls how she and her brother fled Dragonstone with Ser [[Willem Darry]] and four loyal men, who took them to [[Braavos]]. There they lived in a big [[The house with the red door in Braavos|house with a red door]] and Ser Willem was always kind to her. But when Ser Willem died, the servants stole what money was left and put them out of the house. Since then they have wandered, with Viserys keeping them moving in fear of the Usurper’s assassins. Near the end of her reverie, Dany reflects on how Viserys, now known as "the Beggar King" behind his back, has become obsessed with recovering his throne, while she only wants her childhood back.
 
  
Illyrio's servants come to bathe Daenerys and prepare her for her meeting with Khal Drogo. She is intended to marry Drogo, though she has always assumed she would marry her brother like the [[House Targaryen|Targaryens]] always have. The servants tell her how lucky she is to marry a man so rich that even his slaves wear golden collars. Once she is properly dressed, her brother returns with Magister Illyrio. Viserys commands her to stand up and turn around. Illyrio showers Daenerys with compliments while Viserys complains she is too skinny and too young. Illyrio reassures him that she is old enough for the ''khal'' and comments on her silver-gold hair and purple eyes, the hallmarks of old [[Valyria|Valyrian]] nobility. When Viserys states that barbarians are said to have queer tastes such as boys and sheep, Illyrio warns him not to say these things to Khal Drogo, creating a flare of anger in Viserys’ eyes.
+
Viserys departs, leaving Daenerys alone with her thoughts. She dreads the feast she has to attend that evening, and her mind wanders to [[Westeros]], the homeland she has never seen. She had been conceived shortly before her mother, Queen [[Rhaella Targaryen]], fled [[King's Landing]] with Viserys, and born nine months later on [[Dragonstone]]. Yet she knows the stories Viserys has told her, the flight from King's Landing to Dragonstone; Her eldest brother, [[Rhaegar Targaryen]] [[Battle of the Trident|fighting]] [[Robert I Baratheon|Robert Baratheon]] and dying; The [[Sack of King’s Landing]], the gruesome death of Prince [[Aegon Targaryen (son of Rhaegar)|Aegon Targaryen]], and the murder of her father, King [[Aerys II Targaryen]], in the throne room, committed by [[Jaime Lannister|a knight]] of his own [[Kingsguard]]. Nine months after the deaths of her brother and father, Daenerys's mother died giving birth to her (something for which Viserys has never forgiven her), during a summer storm which destroyed most of the [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] fleet which had been Dragonstone's last defense. When the garrison of Dragonstone was wiling to give Viserys and Daenerys over to [[Stannis Baratheon]], who was [[Assault on Dragonstone|on his way to take Dragonstone]], Ser [[Willem Darry]] and four loyal men secretly took them to [[Braavos]]. There they lived in a big [[The house with the red door in Braavos|house with a red door]]. However, Ser Willem died, leaving them without a guardian, and the servants stole what money was left. When Viserys and Daenerys were put out of the house not long afte, they began to travel from city to city, never staying anywhere long, as Viserys  feared the Usurper's assassins. Daenerys recalls how rich merchants, archons and magisters became less and less willing to host the Targaryens as the years went by, and how Viserys had been forced to sell their mother's crown. However, despite the lack of support, Viserys has become obsessed with recovering the Iron Throne. Daenerys knows that he is being called "the Beggar King" behind his back, and wonders if people have given her a nickname too.
  
The three of them journey in Illyrio's litter to Khal Drogo's manse in the pitch dark. Viserys states that 10,000 Dothraki screamers will be enough to overthrow the usurper when combined with those that are just awaiting his return. He speculates on those who would join their cause: [[House Tyrell]], [[House Redwyne]], [[House Darry]], [[House Greyjoy]], and the [[Dorne|Dornishmen]]. Illyrio assures Viserys that the [[Seven Kingdoms]] secretly await his return, though Daenerys doubts him.

Illyrio says that the horselord's mansion was a gift from the magisters of [[Pentos]], to help win Drogo's friendship. They arrive at the mansion and are announced as King Viserys III and Princess Daenerys. Illyrio points out several prominent guests, including Ser [[Jorah Mormont]], who has fled the Seven Kingdoms under sentence of death and spent much time among the Dothraki. Illyrio then points out Khal Drogo himself, who is as graceful as a panther, and younger than Daenerys would have thought. Viserys notes his long braid, which means he has never been defeated in combat. Daenerys only notes his cold, hard face and is afraid of him. She asks to go home, provoking a rant from Viserys about how their [[King's Landing|home]] has been taken away from them. Daenerys only meant their rooms in Illyrio’s estate, but none of the places they have stayed in have been Viserys' home.

Daenerys II

The exiled Princess Daenerys Targaryen prepares to be presented to the Dothraki khal, Drogo, as her brother, King Viserys Targaryen, hopes to gain a Dothraki army by making such a marriage alliance.

Synopsis

For the past half year, the exiled king Viserys Targaryen and his thirteen year old sister, Princess Daenerys Targaryen, having been residing in the manse of Illyrio Mopatis, a Magister of the Free City of Pentos. Viserys wishes to win back his father's throne and is in need of an army, which he hopes to acquire by making a marriage alliance with a Dothraki khal who leads a large khalasar.

Viserys presents Daenerys with a gift from Magister Illyrio, a fine silk dress. Daenerys has to look like the princess she is, so Khal Drogo will ask for her hand in marriage. Although Daenerys is doubtful of Illyrio's motives, Viserys insists that the Magister simply wants to earn his good graces. Afraid of angering her brother (which he calls "waking the dragon"), Daenerys keeps silent about her mistrust. Viserys warns Daenerys not to fail him, and twists one of her niples to emphasize his threat. According to Viserys, when history of his reign is written, it will be said that his reign began that night.

Daenerys and Viserys Targaryen


Viserys departs, leaving Daenerys alone with her thoughts. She dreads the feast she has to attend that evening, and her mind wanders to Westeros, the homeland she has never seen. She had been conceived shortly before her mother, Queen Rhaella Targaryen, fled King's Landing with Viserys, and born nine months later on Dragonstone. Yet she knows the stories Viserys has told her, the flight from King's Landing to Dragonstone; Her eldest brother, Rhaegar Targaryen fighting Robert Baratheon and dying; The Sack of King’s Landing, the gruesome death of Prince Aegon Targaryen, and the murder of her father, King Aerys II Targaryen, in the throne room, committed by a knight of his own Kingsguard. Nine months after the deaths of her brother and father, Daenerys's mother died giving birth to her (something for which Viserys has never forgiven her), during a summer storm which destroyed most of the Targaryen fleet which had been Dragonstone's last defense. When the garrison of Dragonstone was wiling to give Viserys and Daenerys over to Stannis Baratheon, who was on his way to take Dragonstone, Ser Willem Darry and four loyal men secretly took them to Braavos. There they lived in a big house with a red door. However, Ser Willem died, leaving them without a guardian, and the servants stole what money was left. When Viserys and Daenerys were put out of the house not long afte, they began to travel from city to city, never staying anywhere long, as Viserys feared the Usurper's assassins. Daenerys recalls how rich merchants, archons and magisters became less and less willing to host the Targaryens as the years went by, and how Viserys had been forced to sell their mother's crown. However, despite the lack of support, Viserys has become obsessed with recovering the Iron Throne. Daenerys knows that he is being called "the Beggar King" behind his back, and wonders if people have given her a nickname too.

Illyrio's servants come to bathe Daenerys and prepare her for the feast given at the manse of Khal Drogo, where she is to meet and impress the Khal, so he will ask for her hand in marriage. The servants tell her how lucky she is to marry a man so rich that even his slaves wear golden collars. Once she is properly dressed, her brother returns with Magister Illyrio and commands her to stand up and turn around. Illyrio showers Daenerys with compliments while Viserys complains she is too skinny and too young. Illyrio reassures him that she is old enough for the khal and comments on her silver-gold hair and purple eyes, the hallmarks of old Valyrian nobility. When Viserys states that barbarians are said to have queer tastes such as boys and sheep, Illyrio warns him not to say these things to Khal Drogo, creating a flare of anger in Viserys’ eyes.

The three of them journey in Illyrio's litter to Khal Drogo's manse in the pitch dark. Viserys states that ten thousand Dothraki “screamers” will be enough to overthrow the usurper when combined with those in Westeros that are awaiting his return. He speculates on those who would join their cause: House Tyrell, House Redwyne, House Darry, House Greyjoy, and the Dornishmen. Illyrio assures Viserys that the people in the Seven Kingdoms secretly await his return, though Daenerys doubts him.

Illyrio says that Drogo’s mansion was a gift from the magisters of Pentos, to help win Drogo's friendship. They arrive at the mansion and are announced as King Viserys III and Princess Daenerys. Illyrio points out several prominent guests, including Ser Jorah Mormont, who had fled the Seven Kingdoms under sentence of death several years before, and has since spent much time among the Dothraki. Illyrio then points out Khal Drogo himself, who is as graceful as a panther, and younger than Daenerys had expected. Viserys notes his long braid, which means he has never been defeated in combat. Daenerys only notes his cold, hard face and is afraid of him. She asks to go home, provoking a rant from Viserys about how their home has been taken away from them. Daenerys only meant their rooms in Illyrio’s estate, but none of the places they have stayed in have been Viserys' home. Viserys also assures Daenerys that he would let Khal Drogo's whole khalasar, including their horses, rape her if it would win him back the Seven Kingdoms. He then tells her to stop crying, because Illyrio is leading Khal Drogo over to meet them. Daenerys stops crying, stands up straight, and smiles.
