Weighing the significance of what has been gained against the cost of it, what are we left with? An heir with a destiny worthy of going down in history? Or a diminished mind and body, a pale version of what could have been? Hope can be such a strong emotion, so the former rather than the latter for me; ice and fire – if you use your imagination – is a sexy, powerful combination.
In my dreams, I have visions of an ice dragon, terrible and fierce, flying over snow-capped peaks and ultimately blasting enemies into oblivion.

Hope is strong, indeed. As strong as a majestic ice dragon? Perhaps. Beautiful imagery here and a fantastic picture to accompany it.

Adam, you know this is about Game of Thrones, right? You must do. You’re a LOTR fan, you MUST be a GoT fan as well 🙂

Wasn’t it so satisfying to have predicted this though? The fact it happened exactly how we thought it would didn’t spoil it for me – I wanted it to happen too bad!

Beautiful dragon and question. I never thought of “hope” as one side of perception, but that’s indeed what it is. 🙂

Well. You knew I’d like this ! Don’t see why a woman couldn’t write the damn 6th and ugh books do you? Part of me unfaithfully feels another writer would end up doing a better job. Ps. I want a dragon and a direwolf. Did you know there’s a real direwolf breeding program?
