Jag läste @Aegons svar här och jag insåg att jag aldrig har varit klar om huruvida Dani var avsiktlig i sin pyrebyggnad att göra blodmagi och väcka drakarna, eller om hon bara lurade Drogo och dödade Mirri och hennes uttalande om "bara dödsburken betala för livet "var ett slag i Maegi-ansiktet, eftersom hon i slutändan offrade sitt ofödda barn för Drogos skinka.
Jag vet att hon hade försökt att baka äggen tidigare och hade känt att de kunde kläcka då, men blev tydligt besviken och chastised sig för dumhet när de inte gjorde det. Jag minns inte inre monologer eller uttalanden efter det där hon sa, "du vet vad jag borde ha gjort ..."
Jag antar att jag frågar är om det finns bevis utanför hennes uttalande till Maegi att hon var avsiktlig i hennes blodmagisrit eller om miraklet var en lycklig olycka?
Ja Daenerys visste vad som skulle hända på grund av hennes intelligens. Det är mycket starkt underförstått.
Men hon var inte helt säker. Det var ett hopp om troen, hon kände till riskerna och hon bestämde sig för att ta dem.
Daenerys observerade många nyfikna saker innan hon kom fram till att äggen kunde kläckas.
Daenerys hade sin första drakdröm innan hon ens gav ägget:
Yet that night she dreamt of one. Viserys was hitting her, hurting her. She was naked, clumsy with fear. She ran from him, but her body seemed thick and ungainly. He struck her again. She stumbled and fell. "You woke the dragon," he screamed as he kicked her. "You woke the dragon, you woke the dragon." Her thighs were slick with blood. She closed her eyes and whimpered. As if in answer, there was a hideous ripping sound and the crackling of some great fire. When she looked again, Viserys was gone, great columns of flame rose all around, and in the midst of them was the dragon. It turned its great head slowly. When its molten eyes found hers, she woke, shaking and covered with a fine sheen of sweat. She had never been so afraid …
AGOT - Daenerys II
Första saken som hon såg var röda flammor när ljus rörde äggna.
Dany gave the silver over to the slaves for grooming and entered her tent. It was cool and dim beneath the silk. As she let the door flap close behind her, Dany saw a finger of dusty red light reach out to touch her dragon's eggs across the tent. For an instant a thousand droplets of scarlet flame swam before her eyes. She blinked, and they were gone.
AGOT - Daenerys III
Då observerade hon att hon kände sig varm när hon rörde äggen. Men hon berättade att det bara var på grund av solljus.
Stone, she told herself. They are only stone, even Illyrio said so, the dragons are all dead. She put her palm against the black egg, fingers spread gently across the curve of the shell. The stone was warm. Almost hot. "The sun," Dany whispered. "The sun warmed them as they rode."
AGOT - Daenerys III
Men äggen fortsatte att känna sig varm på hennes beröring.
“Khaleesi, “ Jhiqui said, “what is wrong? Are you sick?”
“I was,” she answered, standing over the dragon’s eggs that Illyrio had given her when she wed. She touched one, the largest of the three, running her hand lightly over the shelf. Black-and- scarlet, she thought, like the dragon in my dream. The stone felt strangely warm beneath her fingers... or was she still dreaming? She pulled her hand back nervously.
AGOT - Daenerys III
Den nyfikna saken var, bara hon kunde känna värmen, ingen annan kunde.
Hon såg en drakdröm igen där hon dösades med dragonfire och blev oskadd, starkare och hårdare.
she dreamt the dragon dream again. Viserys was not in it this time. There was only her and the dragon. Its scales were black as night, wet and slick with blood. Her blood, Dany sensed. Its eyes were pools of molten magma, and when it opened its mouth, the flame came roaring out in a hot jet. She could hear it singing to her. She opened her arms to the fire, embraced it, let it swallow her whole, let it cleanse her and temper her and scour her clean. She could feel her flesh sear and blacken and slough away, could feel her blood boil and turn to steam, and yet there was no pain. She felt strong and new and fierce.
AGOT - Daenerys III
Då kände hon att hennes ofödda son sträckte sig till dragon-ägg:
She was lying there, holding the egg, when she felt the child move within her... as if he were reaching out, brother to brother, blood to blood. “You are the dragon,” Dany whispered to him, “the true dragon. I know it. I know it.”
AGOT - Daenerys IV
När Roberts katterpaw försökte döda henne blev hon mycket skakad. Hon försökte sedan kläcka drakarna, men misslyckades.
When the coals were afire, Dany sent Ser Jorah from her.
She had to be alone to do what she must do. This is madness, she told herself as she lifted the black-and-scarlet egg from the velvet. It will only crack and burn, and it's so beautiful, Ser Jorah will call me a fool if I ruin it, and yet, and yet …
Cradling the egg with both hands, she carried it to the fire and pushed it down amongst the burning coals. The black scales seemed to glow as they drank the heat. Flames licked against the stone with small red tongues. Dany placed the other two eggs beside the black one in the fire. As she stepped back from the brazier, the breath trembled in her throat. She watched until the coals had turned to ashes. Drifting sparks floated up and out of the smokehole. Heat shimmered in waves around the dragon's eggs. And that was all.
AGOT - Daenerys VI
Hon först kom att veta om hur blodmagiken fungerade när Maegi gav bort för mycket.
she pleaded. “Save him, and I will free you, I swear it. You must know a way... some magic, some...”
Mirri Maz Duur sat back on her heels and studied Daenerys through eyes as black as night. “There is a spell.” Her voice was quiet, scarcely more than a whisper. “But it is hard, lady, and dark. Some would say that death is cleaner. I learned the way in Asshai, and paid dear for the lesson. My teacher was a bloodmage from the Shadow Lands.”
Dany went cold all over. “Then you truly are a maegi.”
“Am I? Mirri Maz Duur smiled. “Only a maegi can save your rider now, Silver Lady.”
“Is there no other way?”
“No other.”
Khal Drogo gave a shuddering gasp.
“Do it,” Dany blurted. She must not be afraid; she was the blood of the dragon. “Save him.”
“There is a price,” the godswife warned her.
“You’ll have gold, horses, whatever you like.”
“It is not a matter of gold or horses. This is bloodmagic, lady. Only death may pay for life.”
AGOT - Daenerys VIII
Detta bekräftades senare av Maegi senare:
You warned me that only death could pay for life. I thought you meant the horse.”
“No,” Mirri Maz Duur said. “That was a lie you told yourself. You knew the price.”
Had she? Had she? If I look back I am lost. “The price was paid,” Dany said.
AGOT - Daenerys IX
Daenerys hade nu en bra bild av hur exakt det magiska arbetet fungerar. Hon var på väg att testa den på Drogos begravningsspjäll. Maegi försökte dock bluffa att offret ensamt inte räcker.
“It is not enough to kill a horse,” she told Dany. “By itself, the blood is nothing. You do not have the words to make a spell, nor the wisdom to find them. Do you think bloodmagic is a game for children? You call me maegi as if it were a curse, but all it means is wise. You are a child, with a child’s ignorance. Whatever you mean to do, it will not work. Loose me from these bonds and I will help you.”
AGOT - Daenerys X
Daenerys lärde sig emellertid inte vara biten av samma orm två gånger. Hon tog inte betet. Människor runt henne trodde att hon antingen försökte återupprätta Drogo eller värsta, försökte begå självmord av sorg.
Men Daenerys påpekade tydligt att hon inte begick självmord. Detta innebär att hon visste vad hon gjorde och hon visste vad som skulle vara resultatet.
“I understand that you loved him,” Ser Jorah said in a voice thick with despair. “I loved my lady wife once, yet I did not die with her. You are my queen, my sword is yours, but do not ask me to stand aside as you climb on Drogo’s pyre. I will not watch you burn.”
“Is that what you fear?” Dany kissed him lightly on his broad forehead. “I am not such a child as that, sweet ser.”
“You do not mean to die with him? You swear it, my queen?”
“I swear it,”
AGOT - Daenerys X
Hon fortsatte sedan med att hävda sin mans khalasarrester som hennes egna och krävande eder av fealty från hennes hållare. Det här är uppenbarligen inte handlingar av någon som skulle påbörja sig på en okänd resa eller att begå självmord. Hon hade tydligt en plan för framtiden.
Daenerys var dock inte helt säker. Hon spelade och hon visste det.
They thought her mad, Dany realized. Perhaps she was. She would know soon enough. If I look back I am lost.
AGOT - Daenerys X
Hon bad då om förlåtelse från Drogo, eftersom hon skulle använda honom som offer för ett av hennes ägg.
She buried her face in it and inhaled the dark fragrance of the oils. He smelled like grass and warm earth, like smoke and semen and horses. He smelled like Drogo. Forgive me, sun of my life, she thought. Forgive me for all I have done and all I must do. I paid the price, my star, but it was too high, too high...
AGOT - Daenerys X
Jorah försökte övertyga henne om att sälja äggen, men Daenerys menade att han inte hade blivit utplånad och hävdade implicit att äggen gavs till henne för ett ädelaste syfte än att samla rikedom:
My queen, Drogo will have no use for dragon’s eggs in the night lands. Better to sell them in Asshai. Sell one and we can buy a ship to take us back to the Free Cities. Sell all three and you will be a wealthy woman all your days.”
“They were not given to me to sell,” Dany told him.
AGOT - Daenerys X
Daenerys berättade implicit för Maegi vad hon skulle göra:
“You will not hear me scream,” Mirri responded as the oil dripped from her hair and soaked her clothing.
“I will,” Dany said, “but it is not your screams I want, only your life. I remember what you told me. Only death can pay for life.” Mirri Maz Duur opened her mouth, but made no reply. As she stepped away, Dany saw that the contempt was gone from the maegi’s flat black eyes; in its place was something that might have been fear. Then there was nothing to be done but watch the sun and look for the first star.
AGOT - Daenerys X
Stjärnan hon letade efter var faktiskt ett tecken för henne.
Jhogo spied it first. “There, “ he said in a hushed voice. Dany looked and saw it, low in the east. The first star was a comet, burning red. Bloodred; fire red; the dragon’s tail. She could not have asked for a stronger sign.
AGOT - Daenerys X
I följande avsnitt anges dock tydligt att Daenerys visste att drakar skulle kläcka med eld, men hon visste inte att hon också hade att erbjuda uppoffringar.
She had sensed the truth of it long ago, Dany thought as she took a step closer to the conflagration, but the brazier had not been hot enough.
AGOT - Daenerys X
Ännu innan hon såg hennes drakar visste hon att hennes plan hade fungerat.
And something else came crashing down, bouncing and rolling, to land at her feet; a chunk of curved rock, pale and veined with gold, broken and smoking. The roaring filled the world, yet dimly through the firefall Dany heard women shriek and children cry out in wonder.
Only death can pay for life.
And there came a second crack, loud and sharp as thunder, and the smoke stirred and whirled around her and the pyre shifted, the logs exploding as the fire touched their secret hearts. She heard the screams of frightened horses, and the voices of the Dothraki raised in shouts of fear and terror, and Ser Jorah calling her name and cursing. No, she wanted to shout to him, no, my good knight, do not fear.for me. The fire is mine. I am Daenerys Stormborn, daughter of dragons, bride of dragons, mother of dragons, don’t you see? Don’t you SEE?
AGOT - Daenerys X
Så ja, hon visste att det här kommer att kläcka drakeägg.

Vad kastade hon ner avloppet? Var det faktiskt några Daenerys som har dött i hennes händer? Så fantastiskt som Gray Worm kan vara, eller kanske fantastiskt nog, jag tror Gray Worm berättade sanningen. Det finns en skillnad mellan mig och Daenerys som kastar upp äggen och hennes känsla av avundsjuka eller besvikelse (än mindre sorg) över hennes oförmåga att kläcka dem alla. Inte bara är hennes förråd ett stort avvikelse från hennes själviska och avsiktliga personligheter, utan inte så obehagligt. Vi... Läs mer
