Chapter 27 Dreams and Prophecies
Viserys walked briskly through his own room, with the door wide open, as if nothing had happened. He ignored the servants who were placing the dragon bone box that Illyrio had sent in his room and walked straight to Daenerys's door.

At this time, the maid Ani, who often appeared at this time, diligently cleaning the guest room corridor and finally asking if anyone needed to go into the room to clean the guest room, had just come upstairs with the cleaning tools. Viserys knocked on Dany's door in a pretentious manner, waited for a while, and when no one responded, he turned the doorknob and went in.

When he entered, he happened to meet Daenerys walking towards the door from the bathroom, as if she had heard the knock and came to open the door.

Seeing that Daenerys had changed into casual clothes, Viserys was a little unprepared: "Are you awake?"

Dany caught the fleeting look of surprise on her brother's face. "Well, what's wrong?"

"There's a small problem." Viserys explained as if nothing had happened. "There are guests in Magister Illyrio's courtyard today. We'd better stay in the room. We'll have lunch here later." He walked over and took Daenerys' hand without any psychological burden. Finding that her temperature was normal, he led her to the tea table by the window and sat down. "When did you wake up?"

"I just woke up." Dany looked a little nervous. Her voice was very soft, as if she was plotting something. "I had a dream."

Dany tried hard not to look away, her eyes looking straight at her brother's face. There was a hint of hesitation in her heart, but more of it was inexplicable anticipation.

Viserys certainly felt Dany's expectant gaze. Things had gone beyond his expectations, but he quickly accepted the fact. He said in Common Tongue, "It's a nice day today." As he spoke, he tightened his grip on Dany's hand, which he was about to release. After making an eye contact, he turned his head and looked out the window, then asked in a conspiratorial voice in Valyrian, "What kind of dream?"

Dany was a little overwhelmed for a moment, but before she figured it out, she had subconsciously turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window, but her eyes were still disobediently glancing at her brother: "The sunlight is a bit dazzling." She didn't know why she said this in the Common Language, but after she finished speaking, she lowered her voice and answered as briefly as possible in Valyrian, ". I dreamed of a dark curtain. I was inside the dark curtain and outside the dark curtain. The dark curtain drew purple dust from my body in the darkness and swallowed it, and then only I was left outside. I saw sparks scattered on my body. In the dream, I could feel the warm blood flowing in my skin, just like" she paused, like a mother - she didn't say the word after all, she was not sure if it would irritate Viserys. ". A warm embrace."

She had gone over this condensed speech in her head several times in the Common Tongue since she woke up from the dream, and it was a little incredible that she could actually speak it fluently in Valyrian in one breath.

Viserys had never underestimated the future Mother of Dragons, and he took her narration for granted. He didn't even realize that this was the speech that the timid and shy Dany had practiced over and over again.

After listening to Dani's words, he squeezed her palm to show that he understood, and said, "It's a bit dazzling." With his other hand, he opened the cup on the table and poured himself a glass of lemonade. Before his mouth touched the cup, he asked softly, "Anything else?"

Dany had already learned this way of conversation, and she asked, "Then aren't we going out today?" She whispered, "That's all I remember. What does this mean?" When she came to her senses, Dany found that she had asked the question naturally - she would never have dared to ask so directly before.

At this time, Dany didn't understand that after realizing that her brother was hinting that he needed her help, something called self-confidence was quietly invading the inferiority part of her self-awareness.

"Stay in your room today." Viserys had no idea that Daenerys's mentality was changing quietly, so he just answered normally. "This means that your blood is awakening. Don't forget, we are descendants of the true dragon," he answered her question vaguely with the words that Daenerys's original brother had told her countless times, "The blood is burning with fire."

Dany's heartbeat paused as Viserys answered. For the first time, she felt that there might be truth in the monkish words her brother had spoken.

"Awakening," she heard the description, and couldn't help but think of the night Viserys was struck by lightning. She found that she had never forgotten what happened then, but she couldn't understand it, couldn't figure it out.

The answer to this question brought her a hundred new questions, and now she couldn't figure out what the first new question was or how to ask it.
While Dany was lost in thought, Viserys ended the conversation: "Trust me, Dany, just trust your brother and leave everything to me." After that, he loosened his clenched hands, stood up and walked towards the door as if nothing had happened, "Why hasn't lunch been served yet? I'm hungry."

Viserys opened the door and saw the maid Ani still some distance away. He walked straight over and ordered her: "You, that is you, go to the kitchen and see why lunch has not been delivered. I will wait here."

Under Viserys's gaze, the maid did not dare to neglect and quickly put down her work and went to the kitchen. During this time, she looked back and saw that Viserys was actually standing there waiting.

When the maid and the butler came into view pushing the dining cart, Viserys's pretended sullen expression eased a little. The cautious performance he and Daenerys had just put on in the room might just be a battle of wits with the air.

Only then did he have time to think about the dream Dany had just told him so carefully.

Daenerys's description of the images in the dream is brief but clear enough, "a dark curtain", "purple dust that was drawn out of the body and swallowed up". Viserys felt that this was describing his swallowing of the dragon soul, and the "dark curtain" should be the mystical image of him in Daenerys' dream; as for Dany's "inside and outside", Viserys did not dare to make a rash assertion. The simultaneous existence of "I" and "I" in a dream often means that one of them is the "non-me" part. He guessed that the swallowed part was the "non-me", the dragon soul that entered Dany's body, and the outside part was herself. Combined with the description of "sparks scattered all over the body" and "warm flowing blood", Viserys guessed that it should be some other mystical substance in the dragon bones besides the dragon soul that was absorbed by Dany who had a magical physique.

He remembered that in the original book, Daenerys had a dragon dream after touching the dragon egg. She dreamed that the black dragon spewed flames, and she stretched out her arms to embrace the flames. After being completely swallowed by the dragon flames in the dream, she felt that she was cleansed and trained, as if she was reborn. Since then, her physique seemed to have changed. When she was cursed by the blood magic of the witch and died in her womb, it was the heat from the stone dragon egg that others could not detect that allowed her to recover quickly, and some mysterious power drove her and the dragon egg to throw themselves into the funeral flames of Khal Drogo, and then mysteriously hatched a dragon when the red comet appeared.

There is a dragon soul in the dragon egg.

This is the most likely speculation.

Some dragon bones contain residual souls, which is a fact inferred based on actual tests.

Viserys certainly did not forget that his mission was to "collect the dragon souls of this world and become a true three-headed dragon", but his magical instinct drove him to "devour" the residual souls in these dragon bones. Facts also proved that after being devoured, the residual souls in these dragon bones can become a medium for him to project otherworldly magic.

In fact, Viserys had guesses and realizations from the first day he came into this world. The ancient prophecy passed down by the Targaryen family said that "the dragon has three heads." If there were various interpretations of this prophecy before, then with his appearance, when he appeared in the world in the form of a dragon, all the interpretations would point to him.

His arrival will undoubtedly be related to this prophecy, and what kind of relationship will he have with the "man of destiny" who was born according to the prophecy?
In this regard, Viserys could only tell himself: Wait and see, everything depends on human efforts.

If the price of becoming a dragon was to devour the souls that originally parasitized these dragon eggs and dragon bones, Viserys had already realized that this was the path he would take.

Of course, these were still far away from him. At this moment, Viserys was at best a dragonfire warlock with two dragon scales of magic power and could only perform one trick a day.

Viserys didn't know that Dany had described the dream in as much detail as possible, but there were still missing parts, some that she dared not say, some that could not be expressed in words.

But Dany has done well enough. Viserys has taken it very seriously, but in fact he still doesn't take Dany's dream too seriously. In comparison, confirming Dany's trust and closeness to him is what he values ​​more at the moment.

Afterwards, they had lunch together in Dany's room.

The brother and sister each had their own thoughts, and there was silence at the lunch table.

Just as they finished lunch, the maid Ani led the servants to clean up the table, and the sounds of Illyrio and the guests in the courtyard chatting and laughing could be faintly heard from the garden under the guest room.

Viserys was not surprised at this. He had known for a long time that after he had made it clear that he would stay motionless in Illyrio's courtyard and bide his time, the mountain would come to him if he did not go to it.

He just didn't know what Illyrio was jealous of when he made these dumplings?
