   Summary

   'Fire and Blood' are the words of House Targaryen, rulers of the Seven Kingdoms. And yet, what do fire and blood ever leave behind when the dragons dance, but ashes and necrosis?

   After the ‘unfortunate accident’ in Driftmark that left Prince Aemond one-eyed, King Viserys decreed that his youngest daughter and eldest grandson were to marry, in order to unite the quarrelling branches of his family.
   This fixes nothing.
