When I Arrived At The Castle (2019) By Emily Carroll

William Etty, RA (British, 1787-1849) Mars and Venus, n.d.

Mr. Trask, it's awful not to be loved. It's the worst thing in the world. Don't ask me - even if you could - how I know that. I just know it. It makes you mean, and violent, and cruel. And that's the way Cal has always felt, Mr. Trask. All his life! Maybe you didn't mean it that way - but it's true. You never gave him your love. You never asked for his. You never asked him for one thing.

It’s interesting that mirri maz duur (whether on purpose or inadvertently) kills rhaego to prevent future suffering he and his khalasar might commit, but ultimately causes the birth of a much more destructive entity. She tells dany that, “The stallion who mounts the world will burn no cities now. His khalasar will trample no nations into dust,” after the stillbirth, believing that rhaego would become a Genghis Khan esque figure in essos. However, it is rhaego’s sacrifice that quickens dany’s eggs, allowing drogon, viserion, and rhaegal to be born. In the end, mirri gives dany far more power than she ever would have had under drogo and rhaego, and far more destructive capabilities.

Now is a good time to tell you what I know about death: Nothing goes away but becomes something else. The story goes: God watched the son go down. Or, God was the son going down. Or God was gravity. Or God spoke in the voice of the people so to bring that man down--he went and became a lamb cut open. He went and became August sun. He went and became. He went and became. My brother sat up. A holy future passed us by and surrounds me now. Brother, we're going down. Brother, get up.
