Drogon! Dracarys![5]

- Daenerys Targaryen to Drogon


What feeds a dragon's fire?[7]

- Marwyn to Samwell Tarly


Then the dragon opened its mouth, and light and heat washed over them. Behind a fence of sharp black teeth he glimpsed the furnace glow, the shimmer of a sleeping fire a hundred times brighter than his torch.[6]

The dragon caught one burning body just as it began to fall, crunching it between his jaws as pale fires ran across his teeth.[8]
