48 ~ Daenerys IV *** Discuss only this chapter and anything prior

[Omar]

What does everyone think the visions mean?

[LENA]

I have the same question..."three mounts must you ride...one to bed and one to dread and one to love..." Do the voices refer to things Dany has already experienced or things that haven't happened yet??? I think she has already experienced love and perhaps dread... Does this mean she is ready to become Queen of Westeros?

[Brianna]

thoughts while reading:
Is it just Drogon that she has with him? Where are the other dragons?
things that she sees→
-woman being attacked (?) by 4 men
-a feast of corpses, one of which had a head of a wolf w/ an iron crown
-her childhood home in Braavos
-the main hall at King's Landing
-a man who looked similar to her brother naming a baby Aegon, talking of the song of ice and fire, the dragon has three heads and they need one more (?)
-Pyat Pree trying to get her to go to him
-a group of wizards
Did they really send the comet? Or are they just capitalizing on its presence?
-a human heart surrounded by the Undying Ones
"the shape of shadows... drink from the cup of ice...drink from the cup of fire...mother of dragons...child of three...three heads has the dragon...
three fires you must light...one for life and one for death and one to love...three mounts you must ride...one to bed and one to dread and one to love...
three treasons will you know...once for blood and once for gold and once for love...."
from Tower of the Hand chapter summary about the visions: (view spoiler)[A series of visions comes to her faster and faster: Viserys covered in molten gold; her stillborn son Rhaego as a man with a burning city behind him; Rhaegar dying on the Trident; Stannis holding aloft a flaming sword but casting no shadow; a cloth dragon swaying on poles amidst a cheering crowd; a great stone beast taking wing from a smoking tower; her silver riding towards a stream beneath a sea of stars; a corpse with bright eyes and gray lips smiling sadly on the prow of a ship; a blue flower growing in a chink of ice; Mirri Maz Duur performing her shadow magic; a young Daenerys outside the house with the red door; Mirri Maz Duur dying as Daenerys's dragons hatch; a bloody corpse, naked, bound and dragged behind her silver; a white lion, taller than a man, running through grass; a line of naked crones coming out of a great lake and kneeling before her; and ten thousand slaves reaching out to touch her and crying "mother" as she rides past.

The Undying Ones are so creepy!
