ACoK 63: Daenerys 786

Dany's dragon has burnt down the warlocks' house of the undying, and she's not going to let Xaro have one of her dragons, so her welcome is wearing thin. She heads out to the docks to see if she can rent a boat to get her and her followers to Westeros.

She's left her dragons at Xaro's house under the protection of a single blood rider. I'm not quite sure why Xaro wouldn't arrange to have a dragon go missing at this point. In fact I'm a bit worried about that.

But Dany doesn't seem concerned. She has other worries: an assassin hands her a scarab in a box, which she just opens unsuspectingly, and she is only saved by two strange men who have been following her. It turns out that they have been sent by Magister Illyrio to bring her back. And he has sent three ships, so there is plenty of room for everyone. It seems almost too easy...
