“'My brother dreams as other boys do, and those dreams might mean anything,' Meera said, 'but the green dreams are different.' Jojen's eyes were the color of moss, and sometimes when he looked at you he seemed to be seeing something else. Like now. 'I dreamed of a winged wolf bound to the earth with grey stone chains,' he said. 'It was a green dream, so I knew it was true. A crow was trying to peck through the chains, but the stone was too hard and his beak could only chip at them.' 'Did the crow have three eyes?' Jojen nodded.”

“'Open your eye.' 'They are open. Can't you see?' 'Two are open.' Jojen pointed. 'One, two.' 'I only have two.' 'You have three. The crow gave you the third, but you will not open it.' He had a slow soft way of speaking. 'With two eyes you see my face. With three you could see my heart. With two you can see that oak tree there. With three you could see the acorn the oak grew from and the stump that it will one day become. With two you can see no farther than your walls. With three you would gaze south to the Summer Sea and north beyond the Wall.'”

“As the handmaids toweled her dry and wrapped her in a sandsilk robe, Dany's thoughts went to the three who had sought her out in the City of Bones. *The Bleeding Star led me to Qarth for a purpose. Here I will find what I need, if I have the strength to take what is offered, and the wisdom to avoid the traps and snares. If the gods mean for me to conquer, they will provide, THEY WILL SEND ME A SIGN, and if not... if not...* It was near evenfall and Dany was feeding her dragons when Irri stepped through the silken curtains to tell her that Ser Jorah had returned from the docks... and not alone. 'Send him in, with whomever he has brought,' she said, curious... ... the knight said, 'I bring you Quhuru Mo, captain of *Cinnamon Wind* out of Tall Trees Town'... The black man knelt. 'I am greatly honored, my queen,' he said... 'The honor is mine, Quhuru Mo,' said Dany... 'Have you come from the Summer Isles?' 'This is so, Your Grace, but before, not half a year past, we called at Oldtown. From there I bring you a wondrous gift.' 'A gift?' 'A gift of news. DRAGONMOTHER, STORMBORN, I TELL YOU TRUE, ROBERT BARATHEON IS DEAD.' ”
