The Righteousness of Blood - Or Why Daenerys was right to liberate Slaver’s Bay

I keep on seeing a common consensus in the fandom that Daenerys went “too far” in Meereen. In the books, Daenerys asked the Good Masters to bring her 136 masters to be crucified, to atone for the 136 children. The most charitable perspective on this seems to be that Daenerys was driven more by Daenerys’ personal drive for justice than any real attempt to balance the scale.

I have always had an issue with this view because it always seems to imply that Daenerys was supposed to find some other way for the slaves to get justice besides executing the slaving class that had benefited off of their misery for so long. The slaves had been waiting for justice, and freedom and liberty; their fathers had to wait, their grandfathers had to wait; their great grandfathers had to wait; and on and on the wheel span to when the dragonlords of the Valyrian Freehold had enslaved the entirety of Ghis. 

How much longer were they supposed to wait for this supposed bloodless revolution? They had already waited a thousand years. 

That is a question the fandom is not asking, but George is. One of the themes he explores in Dany’s arc through ADWD is that so long as the masters are in power, there will be no justice. The peace she is forming with them is a toxic one that continues to perpetuate the injustice that she had dedicated herself to eradicating. 

This is not a new theme for Martin. The necessity of war to free others from tyranny appears in his vampire horror novel, Fevre Dream. 

You can’t just go… usin’ another kind of people, like they wasn’t people at all. Know what I mean? Got to end, sooner or later. Better if it ends peaceful, but it’s got to end even if it has to be with fire and blood, you see?

I do not think it is by accident that the very first time that George uses fire and blood in association with justified violence. The very first time that Daenerys unleashes dracarys is when she liberates an entire people from enslavement. The Targaryens are old may believe fire and blood means military power to enforce feudalistic rule, but Daenerys obviously has a very different interpretation. 

Fire and Blood is a responsibility to use the destructive power of the dragons to protect and liberate, not to safeguard your self-perceived rights.

JONERYS WEEK 2018 | Day Four | Prophecies and Dreams

“Aegon,” he said to a woman nursing a newborn babe in a great wooden bed. “What better name for a king?” “Will you make a song for him?” the woman asked. “He has a song,” the man replied. “He is the prince that was promised, and his is the song of ice and fire.” “A blue flower grew from a chink in a wall of ice, and filled the air with sweetness. … mother of dragons, bride of fire …” A Clash of Kings, Daenerys IV

“Feel like another round?”

“You were great last night…”

“Wow, you look even better in the daylight.”

“My clothes look better on you than they do on me.”

“I had no idea you were into that stuff…I’m glad I found out.”

“We didn’t even get to use the toys last night.”

“You should play with my hair some more…”

“I don’t remember ever having this many hickeys. But I don’t mind.”

“That was a workout.”

“I don’t know your name. But you can share it with me, so I know what to scream this time.”

“The fun doesn’t have to end.”

“I think I can convince you to stay…”

“Don’t pretend like you’re asleep. Should I find a way to wake you up?~”

“We could order pizza and just stay like this all day.”

“I love your bedhead.”

Awkward

“Oh no…what did we do?”

“Hi! You need to leave.”

“I’m sorry…who are you?”

“Ugh…I drank so much.”

“I can’t believe I did this again.” / “I can’t believe we did this again.”

“Where are your clothes?”

“…I’m sore in such weird places.”

“Hey, sorry! I’m gonna go. Right now.”

“You didn’t seem like you were having such a bad time last night.”

“Someone’s coming. Is that your mom/partner/spouse/etc.?”

“I think this was a mistake.”

“Your foot is in my face.”

“Did we use protection?”

“*sees ___ and screams*”

many agreed that it was time to go back to england and see if their end of the bargain was still being held, and honestly, there was something telling him deep within his chest that they were not, and honestly, that was completely and utterly troubling for jon. he had always been taught to go with his gut feeling, and so he knew that he was going to decide to cross the seas on the boats. his thoughts drifted though, when his onyx eyes fell upon the silver haired seer, and his head lightly tipped to the side to see her, and hearing his name escape his lips caused him to smile briefly, but it left as soon as it happened. he was of course glad to see her— anyone could see that in his eyes. “i don’t know, some people come and go, dany…” he spoke softly, a sigh escaping his lips as his eyes drifted around the room. some were looking at him, and others at the seer, and others were of course talking, laughing and drinking mead merrily. “you have indeed returned… and i am grateful that are here, you know that i enjoy your company.” he admitted, though the worry and distraction was pretty clear as his thoughts flooded again, concern rippling his stomach. he looked over to see the signs of winter already settling again, and then his fingers drummed across the hard wood of the throne. he wasn’t certain if he could wait till spring to go over. then, at her words, he locked eyes with her once again, and moved to stand up, slowly beginning to walk towards the seer. “nothing to worry about. though its possible that i may be going over sea’s to england again.” he explained.

Violet eyes stayed on Jon’s face, curious about his responce. What was he worried about? Something he likely did not want to speak about in open court. The raven on her shoulder cawed, and she reached up to brush under his throat, soothing him. “Hm, but I am particularly hard to kill.” Behind her, her handmaiden, Missandei slipped into place, smiling pleasantly and ignoring the gawking. It wasn’t that the people here hadn’t seen her before, but her dark skin always drew attention. But she was well used to it.

Dany smiled brilliantly at Jon. She liked his company as well, maybe a bit more than she should. Seers were not sapposed to mingle so much with the ‘normal’ folk, but she couldn’t help it. They were far more interesting than spending her entire day hoping to have another vision. “I am sure.” She responded teasingly to Jon’s distracted responce. She moved a step closer and glanced at the guards around him. They seemed less than pleased with her presance, but she usually brought more trouble their way, if only because she hardly listened when they told her to ‘stop’.

She watched him rise and handed off her staff to MIssandei as Jon came closer. “Hm... leaving so soon?” She asked with a smile, as her bird decided he’d had more than enough of people and took off from her shoulder flying into the rafters. His white plumage making it impossible for him to hide.

Jaime gave him a look as he said this, but then realized he was being sarcastic. “Mmm, that us is a good idea. You don’t want to do that.” He said. When Bronn mentioned the Mele and how it could be, he frowned. “That isn’t funny, Bronn.” Jaime told him. “Anywhere that isn’t here.” He said.

Bronn smiled. Jaime was an interesting one, that was for sure. Even if he wanted to be out of the spotlight, Bronn doubted he’d ever fully be able to escape. Jaime’s frown only gained a bigger smile. “Oh? She is a queen, who is unmarried at that. Everyone’ll get ideas, either way.” He hummed easily, before deciding a seeder place would be better and leading the way.

Six new knights had been chosen to be Daenerys’ new Queensguard. The seventh was given to Gray Worm, along with the title of Lord Commander. Brienne had compeated, but while she had been in the last ten fighters, she hadn’t been in the last six. She was, however, recognized as the North’s personal champion, and even Lady Stark had seemed pleased at how well the tall woman had fought. The North had also settled into being one of the seven kingdoms, if only because the new Warden had been pressured by her own people to accept that position.

The knights were a mesh of Noble and Lowborn, and even had two Dothraki, and another Unsullied. They were less than pleased with the metal armor they’d be wearing, but Daenerys was willing to compromise and find a lighter armor variant of her knights. As it was, it would be the next day when her full Unsullied guard handed over her protection to them, and all of them (excepting Gray Worm) were enjoying their newly won honors.

The feast was grand, even by Daenerys’ expectations. Tyrion may have worked quite a bit of magic to make the first real Court Event as opulant as possible, including bringing in more Essosi flairs with food wine (though much of that was Dornish) and even entertainment, and still, somehow, keeping it quite Westerosi as well. It was a balanceing act as much as anything.

But the main event of the feat was dancing, something Daenerys was looking forward too, and was pleasantly surprised when her first dance partner was the new Prince of Dorne, showing her the dances of his homeland before she was handed off to another knight or Lord. It was enjoyable, dancing. Something that didn’t require her to be a queen to do and was fun for everyone.

She ended up against a wall at one point, almost out of breath as the music changed from more fun dances to more romantic ones. She was quiet alright sitting these out, but currently she was attempting to catch her breath.

“ A blue flower grew from a chink in a wall of ice, and filled the air with sweetness… . mother of dragons, bride of fire …”

“He might as well wish for another thousand men, and maybe a dragon or three. ”

Jaime walked outside. He leaned against the wall when he got out there. He hadn’t realized that Bronn had followed him out until he noticed him come through the door. “You could have stayed in there.” Jaime told her. He watched a few people walk past before looking back at him.

Bronn followed Jaime out. “I’m well suited to sittin’ with queens.” He answered sarcastically. “I’d rather not piss off either of ‘em.” He pointed out. His gaze was on the street not Jaime. “Though if she is like that at the Mele more than one man is gonna get ideas.” He smiled a little at the idea. He had no doubt that Dany would be anything but drunk, but still. It was interesting to see another side to the Queen. “Where to next?”

Season 7 Jonerys countdown: Episode 205

You have a good claim. A title. A birthright. But you have something more than that. You may cover it up and deny it, but you have a gentle heart. You would not only be respected and feared, you would be loved. Someone who can rule and should rule. Centuries come and go without a person like that coming into the world.
