How could you be cursed? [She knows why he might believe that, but her experience with magic, life and death had given her a different perspective.] Not all that happens is a curse. Tragedy in this world does not mean the people have offended their gods, as I imagine the Others are not a sign of the gods of Westeros turning their back on us.

I was told that only death could pay for life. It is possible that all this death, all that is happening, might lead to something better. Life still comes out of this.

[They had a life, didn't they? Some sort of life here?]

You are no different than my dragons, my children. Born again by fire. There is some beauty in this magic, different from the Others.
