Shafts of sunlight slanted through windows of stained glass, and the air was alive with the most beautiful music she had ever heard.

A kingly man in rich robes rose when he saw her, and smiled.

“Daenerys of House Targaryen, be welcome.

“Long have we awaited you,” said a woman beside him, clad in rose and silver.
“我们等了你很久，”他身边的女人说，她穿着玫瑰红与银色的衣服，
The breast she had left bare in the Qartheen fashion was as perfect as a breast could be.

But then Drogon leapt from her shoulder.
卓耿从肩上跃起，
He flew to the top of the ebony-and-weirwood door, perched there, and began to bite at the carved wood.
飞到黑檀木和鱼梁木的门顶，开始啮咬雕刻。
“A willful beast,” laughed a handsome young man.
“淘气的家伙，”一个英俊的年轻人笑道，
“Shall we teach you the secret speech of dragonkind? Come, come.”
“要我教你神秘的龙语吗？过来，快过来。”
Doubt seized her.

The great door was so heavy it took all of Dany’s strength to budge it, but finally it began to move.
大门如此沉重，丹妮费尽全力，才将其推动半分。
Behind was another door, hidden.
门后隐藏着另一扇门。
It was old grey wood, splintery and plain … but it stood to the right of the door through which she’d entered.
陈旧灰暗的木门，裂痕斑斑，普通平凡……却位于她的右边。
The wizards were beckoning her with voices sweeter than song.
巫师们用比歌唱更甜美的声音召唤她，
She ran from them, Drogon flying back down to her.
但她离开他们。卓耿飞回她身边，
Through the narrow door she passed, into a chamber awash in gloom.
他们通过窄门，进入一间沉浸在黑暗中的屋子。
A long stone table filled this room.
一张长石桌填满了房间，
Above it floated a human heart, swollen and blue with corruption, yet still alive.
上面悬浮着一颗人类的心脏，腐烂肿胀，颜色瘀青，但仍然是活的。
