The hill was a
stony1 island in a sea of green.
It took Dany half the morning to climb down. By the time she reached the bottom she was winded. Her muscles ached, and she felt as if she had the beginnings of a fever. The rocks had scraped her hands raw. They are better than they were, though, she
decided4 as she picked at a broken
blister5. Her skin was pink and tender, and a pale
milky7 fluid was leaking from her cracked palms, but her burns were healing.
The hill
loomed8 larger down here. Dany had taken to calling it Dragonstone, after the ancient
citadel10 where she’d been born. She had no memories of that Dragonstone, but she would not soon forget this one. Scrub grass and
thorny11 bushes covered its lower slopes; higher up a jagged
tangle12 of bare rock thrust steep and sudden into the sky. There, amidst broken
boulders13, razor-sharp
ridges14, and needle
spires16, Drogon made his
lair17 inside a shallow cave. He had dwelt there for some time, Dany had realized when she first saw the hill. The air smelled of ash, every rock and tree in sight was
scorched18 and blackened, the ground strewn with burned and broken bones, yet it had been home to him.
