"And Euron Crow's Eye, whom you mentioned to me," Qyburn continued. "Two years ago, Euron was exiled by his elder brother King Balon for committing adultery with his younger brother Victarion's salt wife. Balon decreed that Euron could not return to the Iron Islands until he was dead. The man also has his own ship, the Silence, but few know his whereabouts. It is as though he has vanished."
"Perhaps he is too vicious," Gendry said. "Crow's Eye leaves almost no survivors wherever he goes. He might also trade sacrifices of flesh and blood for favorable winds and seas, like the red priests. His ship might travel farther, from Ibben to Asshai, so no one knows his movements."
Qyburn nodded. "I will continue tracking this matter."
"Have you found any magic dragons within the stone on Dragonstone?" Gendry asked Maester Qyburn.
"No." Qyburn shook his head gently. "There are thousands upon thousands of gargoyles, and images of dragons everywhere. Rooms, stairs, furniture... windows, chimneys, and privies, too. Dragons are everywhere. But stone has no life, after all. I suspect that, even if such a thing is possible, a stone dragon would be a stone monster created through sacrifices of blood and life. But a stone monster is still a dead thing, incapable of competing with a real magic dragon."
"Dragons within stone. When the Long Night approaches and the stars bleed, Azor Ahai will be reborn in the Land of Smoke and Salt and wake magic dragons from stone." Gendry mulled over these legends and theories.
"And the prince that was promised is born amid salt and smoke, accompanied by a bleeding star." "Azor Ahai" and "the prince that was promised" were two slightly different but broadly consistent legends. These prophecies had bewildered generation after generation.
