And, don't forget, she's out there bleeding...pale mare or indication of renewed fertility? Prolly the latter, but what of the prophecy has she fulfilled (east to go west,etc...Son (of The Sun - Martell) set in the east, ok...)to return to an heir-birthing physicality?

Or did Darrio knock her up?

I'm thinking the fact that the former blood-rider of Drogo is now the ruler of Khalasar, in conjunction with past differences between the two bodes well for a capture of Dany, but Drogon's presence and current size will surely numb any lingering ill will from the new Khal...gotta remember, the Dothraki have (surely)known the news for a while that Dany had dragons, and the tall tales have become legend, and the legend has had time to grow a pretty tall shadow in the minds of the Khalasar...to come upon Drogon in all his glory will IMO have one of two effects on the new Khal:

1) Fear/ apprehension that can be shaped into respect, when he makes the connection that Drogon is her 'mount', she continues to live as she did with his people, and in this way, continues to honor his culture as well as his late best friend, her husband (who by the way will be another "eternally undefeated in battle"...akin to Rob Stark, Eddard Stark, Robert Baratheon, Tywin Lannister)
or
2) * A woman on a black flying horse is revealed to be an ancient Dothraki legend (probably born of sightings of Valyrian riders from before the Doom)
In recognizing this, the Khal no longer feels shame from being the past - bullied by a girl, and again he sees her with honor and respect, immediately pledging the D-raki version of fealty. * Very un-Martin like, I think...

I guess there is also a possibility that it's not the Khal that makes the connection but his riders, and he has to challenge Dany for control of the Khalasar.

...or she flat out challenges him...would give us an actual example of a dragon used as a weapon or sword...

any way you slice it, I think Dany returns to Mereen with a hefty 10,000 + mounted cavalry to add to her already impressive infantry. Now to secure ships (Victarian) and heavy artillery and she could finally be on her way...

"When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east," said Mirri Maz Duur. "When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves. When your womb quickens again, and you bear a living child. Then he will return, and not before."

So Martell getting toasted takes care of the first part, if her blood was a sign of her becoming fertile again that would be another, the Dothraki Sea is drying up at the end of ADWD and could be another part. Not sure what the mountains blowing in the wind lie leaves could be.
