Daenerys's Rise in the Dothraki Sea
Daenerys Targaryen adapts to Dothraki life, becoming pregnant with Khal Drogo's child. She gains confidence and begins to assert herself, even defying her brother Viserys. After Viserys threatens her and her unborn child, Drogo kills him by pouring molten gold on his head. Daenerys also begins to feel a connection to her dragon eggs, which grow warm in the fire. This event marks Daenerys's transformation from a pawn to a player in the game of thrones.
