to have seen Old Valyria before the Doom. 798 00:57:23,108 --> 00:57:25,193 Its greatness and its flaws. 799 00:57:25,736 --> 00:57:28,280 When you look at the dragons, what do you see? 800

--> 00:57:57,142 Everyone says Targaryens are closer to gods than to men, 807 00:57:57,225 --> 00:57:59,478 but they say that because of our dragons. 808 00:58:01,396 --> 00:58:03,982 Without them, we're just like everyone else. 809 00:58:06,568 --> 00:58:09,738 The idea that we control the dragons 810 00:58:10,656 --> 00:58:12,282 is an illusion. 811 00:58:13,992 --> 00:58:16,995 They're a power man should never have trifled with. 812 00:58:18,455 --> 00:58:20,832 One that brought Valyria its doom. 813 00:58:20,916 --> 00:58:24,503 If we don't mind our own histories, it will do the same to us. 814 00:58:25,045 --> 00:58:27,255 Targaryen must understand this to be King 815 00:58:29,049 --> 00:58:30,050 or Queen. 816 00:58:31,718 --> 00:58:34,388 [somber music playing] 817 00:58:34,471

they tell us that Aegon looked across the Blackwater from Dragonstone, 858 01:01:07,249 --> 01:01:09,876 saw a rich land ripe for the capture. 859 01:01:11,211 --> 01:01:14,214 But ambition alone is not what drove him to conquest. 860 01:01:15,131 --> 01:01:16,424 It was a dream. 861 01:01:17,175 --> 01:01:19,553 And just as Daenys foresaw the end of Valyria, 862 01:01:19,636 --> 01:01:22,264

01:01:45,370 all of Westeros must stand against it. 871 01:01:45,453 --> 01:01:46,973 And if the world of men is to survive, 872 01:01:46,997 --> 01:01:49,958 a Targaryen must be seated on the Iron
