Chapter Twenty-Five - Davos 3 - A Storm of Swords | A Song of Ice and Fire (ASOIAF)

The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)

Davos is imprisoned in the Dragonstone dungeon. He receives a visit from Melisandre, where he learns that she had no role in the disaster on the Blackwater, as well as learns that she believes Stannis is Azor Ahai reborn. Next he welcomes a new cellmate, in the form of Hand of the King Lord Alester Florent. Mackelly and Simon bake some cookies for the newbie on the block.
Chapter Review:
Davos Seaworth finds himself in the dungeon of Dragonstone. It’s dark and dank but at least it’s warm. His illness from his time on the little island in Blackwater Bay has gotten worse. However, just when Davos thinks he’ll soon die, Maester Pylos nurses him back to health.
Melisandre pays him a visit. The Red Woman tells Davos that there is a war that has raged on since the dawn of time. A war between R’hllor and The Great Other. She also divulges that Stannis Baratheon is the Chosen One of R’hllor. He is Azor Ahai reborn. She saw it in her flames. Davos asks why she didn’t save them from the flames on the Blackwater, if she can see the future? She explains that Stannis’ faith was weak, and he left her at home. If she’d been there the outcome of the battle would’ve been different.
Three days later, Davos gets a new cellmate. It’s Stannis’ Hand of the King Alester Florent. He’s here for the crime of trying to broker a peace deal with the Lannisters, without the knowledge of King Stannis. His plan was for Stannis to recant his claims of Lannister incest and bend the knee to Joffery Baratheon. In response, the Lannisters will name Stannis lord of Dragonstone and Storm’s End. To seal the deal, Shireen Baratheon and Tommen Lannister will marry. Davos can see the flaw in this plan. Stannis would never agree to any of it.
