Have you ever gazed upon
the mighty volcano as it
spews forth fire from the
deepest parts of the earth?
Have you ever seen the
mighty dragon as it lays
amidst the boiling lava pits
it calls home?
Listen to the hissing and
churning of their body as
it withstands temperatures
and chemicals that would
kill any lesser being within
minutes.
The flames of the earth
rage within their chest
as steam hot enough to
kill pours forth from horn
and frill.
Fearsome claws and sharp
fangs show only the slightest
curl of smoke. Hiding weapons
that can melt stone and metal
with barely a hint of effort.
Broad wings tattooed with
marks of fire carry them
through the sky and across
giant volcanoes and lakes
of fire.
Cloaked in fumes of smoke
and ash they fly through
the clouds and over lands
rich in farms and forest.
The flames of the dragon
are always ready and waiting
for just the right spark to ignite
them and send its heat blazing
towards the sky once again.
Smoke rises during the day
as the glow from their fire
lights up the horizon at night.
Nothing burns hotter then
the dragon's flames for even
the scorching heat of their scales
can burn others to the bone.
Within their breast is fire
from the deepest parts of the
earth. Flames that will burn
away all those who dare to
oppose them.
They turn their rage not
on the innocent but upon
the wicked. For these are
not mindless beasts of legend
but warriors who live to
defend those who serve them.
Never mistake their desire
for peace as weakness.
For an enraged dragon
will stop at nothing to
ensure that justice is
served upon the wicked.
And rumor has it that
the pain from their fire
never fades away.
