Daenerys Targaryen is embracing her role as khaleesi of the Dothraki khalasar. Her brother Viserys isn't fitting in so well. When she gives a command that applies to him, she Wakes the Dragon. Only it's Viserys who ends up sobbing in the dirt.

Chapter Review:
In chapter 23 of "A Game of Thrones", from the "A Song of Ice and Fire" book series, Daenerys Targaryen gets her first look at the Dothraki Sea. She finds it beautiful. When she gives the command not to follow her, while she rides into it, her brother Viserys is enraged. She pushes back for the first time and as she waits for the retaliation Jhogo whips Viserys in the neck and drags him to the ground. Daeny doesn't want him hurt, but makes him walk behind the khalasar, one of the worst punishments in Dothraki culture. Daeny and Ser Jorah discuss Viserys being unfit to rule, and the smallfolk not caring who rules them. The chapter ends with Daeny being pregnant, on her 14th nameday.
