Daenerys rides into Qarth on Silver flanked by Aggo, Jhogo, and Rakharo and with Drogon riding on her shoulders. Ser Jorah tells her that he does not trust any of the seekers and thinks they should leave Qarth quickly. They ride to Xaro's palace, where Daenerys is to stay. Xaro takes his leave promising that the Thirteen and many more besides will come to see her and give her gifts. Pyat takes his leave promising to get her an audience with the warlocks. Quaithe leaves telling her to beware those who will come to see her dragons. Daenerys sends Rakharo to explore the city and Ser Jorah down to the docks for news. While they are gone, she bathes and thinks. She has doubts about how she can take back the Seven Kingdoms. As Irri and Jhiqui dry and dress her, she thinks that her comet led her to Qarth for a purpose and she will find what she needs there. That evening, as she is feeding Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion, Ser Jorah returns with a Summer Islander named Quhuru Mo, captain of the ship Cinnamon Wind based in Tall Trees Town. Mo tells her that Robert is dead and the realm at war. Daenerys promises him a reward when she has her throne, and he leaves. Ser Jorah preaches caution and warns her that the Seven Kingdoms are still strong and she will need strong armies, but Daenerys now has hope that she can take Westeros while it is divided.
