Chapter Sixty-Three - Daenerys 5 - A Clash of Kings | A Song of Ice and Fire (ASOIAF)

The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)

Daenerys fends off proposals of marriage and trade from Xaro Xhoan Daxos and accepts his insistence that she leave both his home and Qarth. She's given a deadly gift from a stranger but is saved by new friends bearing good news. Simon and Mackelly pack their bags for Pentos.
Chapter Review:
Xaro Xhoan Daxos tells Daenerys Targaryen that she's worn out her welcome in Qarth, after her role in the destruction of the House of the Undying. Many want her banished, some want her dead. Xaro makes one final proposal of marriage, which Dany rejects. He then offers a trade of ships for a dragon. Again, she says no. Xaro wants her out and his gifts back.
Dany and her bloodriders head to the docks, in search of a ship to take them out of the city. Asking for much, with little to offer, they face rejection after rejection. Ser Jorah Mormont realizes that they're being followed. Dany turns to confront the followers, but is handed a box by a stranger. Without thinking, she opens the box to find a manticore. Before it can attack her, one of the men following her knocks the box out of her hands and kills the manticore.
It seems the men who had been following her were sent by Illyrio Mopatis. They've brought ships to take her, her khalasar, and her dragons to Pentos. Dany is grateful but wants the ships renamed to Balerion, Meraxes, and Vhagar. The dragons have returned.
