Welcome to Litsy!

Ser Kevan meets with the council, absent are Cersei, Margaery &Tommen. Ronnet Connington is there disavowing Jon Connington, the Golden Company & “the Targaryen pretender”. Kevan remembers that the boy presented to Tywin was unrecognizable.
They downplay Dany, calling her “queen of Slaver‘s Bay”
They ponder Cersei‘s champion, Ser Robert Strong, the silent giant
Later he goes to Pycelle, but is attacked with a cross bow. For the good of the realm…

Dany has been with Drogon on her own personal Dragonstone. She knows she must return to Meereen & Hizdahr. Her dragon is reluctant to return, so she starts the journey on foot.
The foraging makes her ill. Her moon blood starts, but seems different. She think of her friends &enemies &hears their voices. When she can go no further she calls for Drogon. They feast.
Khal Jhaqo finds them.

Barristan is acting as Hand &leading the council. The Sons of the Harpy have resumed their killings
Belwas has recovered
Quentyn‘s accomplices are imprisoned. Some would send them to fighting pits but that might attract the dragons. Barristan will give them a ship to return home if they arrange the Tattered Prince (in exchange for Pentos) to help the hostages
The Yunkai‘i declare war & use trebuchets to launch corpses into Meereen.

With much trepidation, they move forward with their plan, dressed as Brazen Beasts; Quentyn, Gerris & Arch proceed. Quentyn has a whip, as Dany used on Drogon.
The code word they give the guards doesn‘t work, they fight, win & break in.
The dragons have broken their chains. They try to placate the beasts with meat, but they are too wild.
The other Windblown enter &are burned.
He tries again to tame Viserion, but is burned by Rhaegal

Barristan makes it his mission to protect the dragons. His plan is to capture Hizdahr without breaking the peace. Others want a more ruthless approach, threatening Dany‘s cupbearers -only children
He reminisces over Ashara Dayne &the tourney at Harrenhal before confronting Hizdahr. He takes care of the guards and captures Hizdahr. Reznak sends a messenger for Hizdahr to come outside. The dragons are loosed.

Tyrion signs his agreements with the Second Sons, paying gold to the Sons &lordship to Brown Ben Plumm
Penny is unusually tired, Tyrion worries she is getting sick
He &Jorah are outfitted at the armory. He teaches Penny the basics of swinging a sword, she‘s regretting her decision to follow him
Jorah &Tyrion both know that the Second Sons are on the losing side, with the dragons & Unsullied in Meereen. Tyrion will help them turn their cloaks again

Cersei has chosen atonement, Margaery has chosen trial. Restless, she wonders if the choose correctly. She must walk through the smallfolk back to the Red Keep
They cut her hair
The crowd yells insults &becomes unruly but, bleeding & horrified, she makes it to the castle. Tommen is not there, only Ser Kevan.
She is lifted by 8 ft tall “Ser Robert Strong”. Qyburn presents her champion saying he will drive enemies from the realm

She is still trying to prove herself, disguised as Cat of the Canals again. She is to give the gift to an old man, but he is nervous &well guarded. The kindly man grows impatient as she questions & rationalizes, but she makes a plan
She is given a new face. Ugly.
She robs a shipowner doing business with the old man, replacing a coin with her own. The old man‘s heart gave out soon after. Her apprenticeship starts

The Iron Fleet runs down a trading ship, Ghiscari Dawn. Victarion is relying heavily of Moqorro‘s prophecies. The other ironborn fear the red priest
Victarion races to Dany even as the Ghiscari say she is dead. Feeling both the Drowned God & R‘hllor are on his side, he makes sacrifices to both
Moqorro tells him he must claim Euron‘s hellhorn to bind the dragons to him
