  Summary

  ‘Fire and Blood,’ Daena recalled, was her family's motto. The great saying of House Targaryen. Well… She had given enough blood, time for the fire.
  She stood up, looked down at the body in her arms. One that never took its first breath. And maybe that was for the best. Maybe it is better that this small child never has to carry its father’s sins on its shoulders.

  There was something to be said about sending someone with no ability back in time to stop a catastrophe.

  Stupid gods and their twisted sense of humour.
