Daenerys rides Silver through a town of the Lhazareen newly taken by Drogo. Khal Ogo had arrived first to loot the town, but Drogo killed him and his son, Fogo, and integrated most of Ogo's khalasar into his own. Drogo plans to take the slaves to Meereen and sell them to buy ships to cross the sea to Westeros. Daenerys rides with Ser Jorah, Irri, Jhiqui, Doreah, Aggo, Jhogo, Quaro, and Rakharo to find Drogo. On the way, she sees a girl her age being raped¹ and cannot stand the sight, telling Jorah and her khas to make it stop, which they do. Ser Jorah comments that she is truly like her brother Rhaegar. Daenerys leaves Doreah to tend to the girl and continues on, claiming every woman she sees being raped as she passes by.

Daenerys finally finds Drogo with his bloodriders, Cohollo, Haggo, and Qotho before a giant mud building with an onion dome. Drogo has an arrow in his arm and a cut on his chest. One of his riders, Maggo, is complaining about Daenerys stopping him from raping the first girl that she claimed, but Drogo does not care. Daenerys soon realizes that Drogo's wounds are more serious than she was led to believe. She learns that Drogo has refused the healers and is about to send for them when one of the Lhazareen women she saved speaks up, saying she can help Drogo. She is Mirri Maz Duur, once the godswife of the town's temple, which is dedicated to the Great Shephard. Haggo names her maegi, a woman who lies with demons and practices the dark arts, but Mirri says she is a healer. Her mother was godswife before her and taught her of healing and she also traveled the east to learn the ways of the Dothraki, Jhogos Nhai, and Asshai'i. She even studied with a maester of Westeros named Marwyn, who opened a body for her to examine. Daenerys convinces Drogo to let her heal him, and Mirri takes him inside the temple. She pulls out the arrow, stitches up his wounds, and applies a poultice which she says he must wear for ten days and nights. Afterwards, Daenerys asks her to be midwife when she gives birth.
