Daenerys sends her people to find wood for a pyre. She has Aggo slay one of the best horses remaining and add it to the wood. She then lays Drogo on the pyre with all his most prized possession. Ser Jorah comes to her and tells her not to sacrifice herself, but she assures him that is not her intent. She names the remaining Dothraki her khalasar and frees those that are slaves. She next gives Jhogo the whip that was her bridal gift and names him ko and asks him to be her bloodrider. He refuses because she is a woman, but she presses on, gifting Aggo the bow and Rakharo the arakh and asking the same, but they both also refuse. She next turns to Ser Jorah, who swears an oath of fealty to her as queen, and names him the first of her Queensguard. Next, she has Irri, Jhiqui, and Doreah bathe her and dress her before bathing and dressing Drogo's corpse. She has him placed on the pyre and then has her dragon eggs arrayed around him. Mirri Maz Duur, still bound, says she is mad, but Daenerys disagrees and then has the woman placed on the pyre too. A red comet appears in the sky right before she gives the order to light the pyre. As Drogo burns and Mirri dies, Daenerys walks into the fire, yet is not burned by it. Three large cracks are heard as her dragon eggs hatch. When it is over, Daenerys's clothes and hair have been entirely burned away, but she is unhurt and suckling her dragons1 at her breasts. Aggo, Jhogo, and Rakharo quickly swear themselves to her as for the first time in hundreds of years, the night comes alive with the song of dragons.
