Synopsis
Dany considers the defeat of the Undying to be Drogon's victory. However, Xaro, whose guest she is, warns her that the warlocks are gathering their power to come for her, and that the other two great merchant consortiums want her either expelled from the city, or killed outright. Daenerys realizes she must flee, for Xaro's protection can only go so far. The merchant again asks her to marry him, but Daenerys again refuses. When Daenerys asks for a ship from Xaro as one last gift, the merchant offers to trade ten ships for one of her three dragons. Daenerys tells him that it would cost one-third of all the ships in the world in order for her to give up one of her dragons.
While traveling with Ser Jorah and her bloodriders to the port of Qarth to find a ship, Daenerys questions Jorah about some of the mysteries she saw in the House of the Undying. Jorah says that the three heads of the dragon represent Aegon and his two sisters, Visenya and Rhaenys, but Daenerys is not convinced. The knight confirms that Rhaegar did play a silver harp, but he says that if the prince's son was the promised one in the vision, the infant Aegon was killed during the sack of King's Landing. Jorah has no knowledge of the song of ice and fire.
At the docks, Jorah warns Daenerys that a big, scarred man and an old man with a staff are following them. When a merchant hands her a beautiful box as a gift, Daenerys opens it to find a green scarab within. The creature within the box flies out, and mayhem erupts. The creature would have bit Daenerys had the old man with the staff not knocked it out of her hands. The merchant was a Sorrowful Man, and the creature a manticore that would have killed Daenerys had it bitten her.
Daenerys learns that the huge, scarred eunuch is the pit-fighter Strong Belwas, and the old man is his squire Arstan Whitebeard, both sent by Magister Illyrio Mopatis to return them to Pentos. The old man recognizes Jorah, and the exile recognizes him but cannot place a name. Arstan claims he comes from the Seven Kingdoms, and squired for a knight of House Swann as a young man. The two claim that Illyrio sent for them because he wishes to have her dragons in order to bring justice to the Seven Kingdoms, which are a divided and warring realm. Daenerys concedes that she must leave Qarth, but commands them to change the names of their three ships to that of Aegon's three dragons (Balerion, Meraxes, and Vhagar).
