An empty girl with violet eyes and silver hair,
She bathes in boiling water and does not care.
Her broken spirit feels nothing at all,
And she does what she can to make herself small.

Her brother is a dragon and his fury surfaces oft,
Yet other times he treats her gentle and soft.
One day, though, something has changed,
A marriage for the girl has been arranged.

A wedding is held and a promise is made,
The warlord who marries her has a virgin braid.
He’s never lost a battle and now he won’t start,
Because he has won over the empty girl’s heart.

The girl slowly but surely becomes intact,
Riding with her Khal across the land that is cracked.
She is soon round with a child, and it is confirmed,
That he will be the Stallion Who Mounts The World.

When her Sun and Stars returns from battle with a cut,
So deadly that he can’t move and his eyes stay shut,
Mirri Maz Duur is called to heal him of his ailing.
That night from his tent the girl hears a terrible wailing.

She knows that only death can pay for life,
And she gladly puts Drogo’s horse to the knife.
The wise woman, however, has in mind a more sinister death,
And so the girl gives birth to a son who never takes his first breath.

Enraged and heartbroken, she grieves, surrounded by sand,
For in order for her Sun and Stars to ride in the night lands,
She must burn his body and let go of him for all of time.
But she will not let this woman escape with her terrible crime.

So the girl tasks herself with building a great pyre,
And she joins her Khal inside the scorching fire.
Morning comes and the Khalasar stares with surprise,
For out of the ashes, the mother of dragons does rise.

The girl is not harmed by the flames at all,
And on her naked body, three dragons crawl.
Her brother had always fancied himself a dragon, a king,
Yet here stands the girl, with her dragons, with wings.

The mother of dragons stands tall and proud,
And when she speaks, it is both clear and loud.
Join me, she says, and we will take our rightful place,
But if you wish to leave, do so without disgrace.

Not a queen, a Khaleesi, she travels to lands of far,
Looking for a city to nourish her starved Khalasar.
She arrives in Qarth and is brought to the House of the Undying,
Where she sees Drogo and her child, on the bed, lying.

To stay with her family, her life it would cost,
And the girl knows that if she looks back, she is lost.
And so she leaves the city behind, and continues with her mission,
Her quest to win back Westeros, quite a hefty ambition.

But she is the rightful queen of the seven kingdoms and is sure,
That the streets will be lined with people who love and adore,
And so her journey towards her waiting kingdom she begins,
Where she will reign, this girl of the name Daenerys Targaryen.
