Daenerys was sitting on a tall stool behind the shop counter studying the accounts; a pen in one hand, mug of coffee in the other and one bare foot resting idly on her largest dog's back. Drogon shifted under her, searching for a scratch, and she did her best to oblige with her toes, far too preoccupied to bend down and fuss him properly. The numbers in front of her barely added up but she didn't really care. It wasn't as if money was an issue for her, after all, and this new, quiet life was her reward for everything she had gone through before this; a modest flat over a shop full of dragons, fairies, jewellery and magical books. Just her and her three large dogs who were far more than pets to her. They were the loving family she'd never …show more content…
Fortunately the little girl proved a useful distraction, calling out to her mother to show her the various ornaments on display; colourful fairies, fierce dragons holding gems in their talons, the wizards with their pointed hats and long beards, the beads and charms and magical pendants.
"Please, Mummy. Please can I have this one?"
As the little family came to the counter to make their purchases, the bell rang again and Daenerys glanced up to see a young man with an unruly mop of dark curls standing in the threshold with his mouth open, as if shocked at where he found himself, and he was still gaping when the mother and daughter walked past him to exit the shop.
"Yes, can I help you?" Dany asked.
"Ah, yes it's ..." He turned to look at her and then stopped again looking momentarily stunned.
'Here we go again!' And yet there was something different in his stare; less recognition and more …? For some reason she was finding it hard to interpret what she was seeing within that dark, stern gaze.
Fortunately, Daenerys was getting recognised a lot less nowadays, although some might say that opening a shop called 'Here Be Dragons' was asking for trouble. However, the worst parts of her youth had come from the best part of her childhood and so

Game of Thrones is a popular American television series adapted from A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin. With a 9.6 IMDB rating and 210 awards under its name, it’s a pretty good show. The plot follows the quest of seven different kingdoms fighting to hold the Iron Throne and become the sole power. As the current season stands, the Lannister family sits on the Throne.

"So you lied to me? Is that it?" I said slowly. To add affect I snapped my fingers together and guards slid out of the shadows and stood next to me. "W-wh-hat!"
“Well, it was. You’ll understand once I will tell you the reason why you are here at the moment, my dear.” he quickly said, as if that was the answer he was waiting for.
Daenerys Targaryen of House Targaryen, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, and now Mother of Dragons. An example for female liberation: encouraging to push harder and dream bigger for more freedom. She’s quiet, humble, and gentle who has been physically, mentally, and sexually abused by her brother, Viserys who sells her to Khal Drogo, her now dead husband so he could buy an army of Dothraki. Her ownership then transfers to Drogo, who repeatedly rapes her before Daenerys learns to assert herself and manipulate his desire. She had a messed up relationship with him from the beginning where she was once afraid of him since he was this large, muscular, intimidating man who didn’t speak the common tongue. Eventually, that began to change when she started growing bolder, taking charge in the bedroom. He begins to treat her as a real human being who knows what she wants rather than an object. “Female self-sexualization perpetuates the gender hierarchy by reinforcing the patriarchal idea that sex is women’s main source of power (Erchull & Liss, 2013; Smolak & Murnen, 2011).

Drifa felt terribly smug that she had been able to conceal herself just long enough so that she could be involved in a real life adventure - even though Arcura and Slavomir were the real people
“Yes?” He turned to look at her, although he didn’t look directly at her, more at the creature she was holding.
She paused for a moment, waiting to see if she had said this out loud.
The Middle Ages is a time period that took place between 500’s and 1400’s In Western Europe. This was a time of feudalism, sickness, death, poverty, war, and faith.

The Medieval Ages that descended upon the Europeans following the deconstruction and devolution of the formerly grand institutions of the Roman Empire left a world darkened to the eyes of history. The world lost touch with simple concepts to a modern history student of writing, economy, culture, and government—the mainstay of that which we cannot see ourselves without—civilization. What was left of Europe was a state of chaos. In all other periods of human history I have studied there were similarities among them from which I could draw conclusions upon the condition of the respective times. The Text helped to give order to the progression of European history from the ancient to the modern drawing
