Synopsis

Daenerys begins every morning my counting the enemy ships in the harbour, today she has counted roughly twenty-five. She then begins to have an argument with her admiral Groleo who is advising her to send her dragons to attack the enemy fleet. Daenarys tells him to attack with ships, he replies that she dismantled his ships, and all the timber in twenty leagues has been burned so he can build no more.

Hizdahr thus far had success in preventing further murders. She has had her betrothed followed and Skahaz mo Kandaq reports that Hizdahr has visited eleven pyramids and it has been twenty-six days since a murder has been attempted. He surmises that he must be one of the Sons of the Harpy or else these others would not have listened to his words alone. Skahaz asks that he may question Hizdahr, but Dany will not let him as she states that she must trust in Hizdahr or face open rebellion in the city. Skahaz also advises her that the fleets in the blockade all have family members in Meereen and that she should use them as hostages, a contemplation she also denies. Barristan Selmy advises her that she has done a wise thing.

Grey Worm meets with her next to tell her that the first refugees from Astapor arrive in Meereen and that Astapor is burning. Dany learns of the fall of Astapor, and that many inhabitants have contracted the bloody flux while under siege, with the survivors now fleeing towards Meereen.[1] The survivors also say that they believed and waited everyday for Dany to come and save them. She tells them that they will be safe in Meereen now instead though. Dany is advised not to tell the survivors and their illness into the city, she is reminded again of Eroeh and of how sometimes those who she tries to save end up worse off.

There are further appeals to use the dragon, however they are followed with comments about how they cannot be controlled right now, and even the Unsullied are afraid to go into the dragon pit and feed them. Dany says the cannot and will not unleash the dragons at this point and time. Ultimately she decides not to let the Astapori into the city and that they should have a separate camp outside the city until the flux passes.

Ser Barristan appeals to her let her take the battle to the enemy. She then reminds herself that a queen represents her people and not just her own person. She thus decides that she cannot have the Unsullied take the field or else to leave the Brazen Beasts alone to defend against the Sons of the Harpy which will not suffice. She then says that she must marry Hizdahr, for the good of the city.
