Meereen was as large as Astapor and Yunkai combined. Like her sister cities she was built of brick, but where Astapor had been red and Yunkai yellow, Meereen was made with bricks of many colors. Her walls were higher than Yunkai’s and in better repair, studded with bastions and anchored by great
defensive1 towers at every angle. Behind them, huge against the sky, could be seen the top of the Great Pyramid, a
monstrous2 thing eight hundred feet tall with a towering bronze harpy at its top. “The harpy is a craven thing,” Daario Naharis said when he saw it. “She has a woman’s heart and a chicken’s legs. Small wonder her sons hide behind their walls.” But the hero did not hide. He rode out the city gates, armored in scales of
copper4 and jet and mounted upon a white charger whose striped pink-and-white barding matched the silk cloak flowing from the hero’s shoulders. The lance he bore was fourteen feet long,
swirled5 in pink and white, and his hair was shaped and teased and lacquered into two great curling ram’s horns. Back and
forth6 he rode beneath the walls of multicolored bricks, challenging the besiegers to send a champion forth to meet him in single combat. Her bloodriders were in such a fever to go meet him that they almost came to blows. “Blood of my blood,” Dany told them, “your place is here by me. This man is a buzzing fly, no more. Ignore him, he will soon be gone.” Aggo, Jhogo, and Rakharo were brave
warriors7, but they were young, and too valuable to risk. They kept her khalasar together, and were her best
scouts8 too. “That was wisely done,” Ser Jorah said as they watched from the front of her pavilion. “Let the fool ride back and forth and shout until his horse goes
lame9. He does us no harm.” “He does,” Arstan Whitebeard insisted. “Wars are not won with swords and spears alone, ser. Two hosts of equal strength may come together, but one will break and run whilst the other stands. This hero builds courage in the hearts of his own men and plants the seeds of doubt in ours.” Ser Jorah snorted. “And if our champion were to lose, what sort of seed would that plant?” “A man who fears battle wins no victories, ser.” “We’re not speaking of battle. Meereen’s gates will not open if that fool falls. Why risk a life for
