An ancient blood flows through my veins.
A blood that burns like the heart of the world.
A fire that fills my soul with the battle cries of a thousand Viking warriors on the charge.
I see harmony among the chaos.
I understand the need for balance in the universe.
With out Evil there can not be Good
With out Good there can not be evil.
To maintain the balance I call upon the sword and the hammer of war,
for these are the instruments of both life and death,.
I am kin to the Dragon and brother of men.
The creatures of the wood call me friend and the spirits of my brothers call me Fire Drake.
I am the fire that burns in the soul of the Earth
I am a hunter on the prowl
I am a lover of life and nature and staunch protector of both
Born under the sign of the lion
Both my love and my fury can be great
