And through years lost in the mist

My blood names a famous list.

By Air, by Water, by Fire, by Earth

In pride I claim a noble birth.

From EmLar Gray, a deadly deed

By his flame Urlant was freed,

Of fearsome hosts of blighters dark

And took his reward: a golden ark!

My Mother’s sire knew battle well

Before him nine-score villages fell.

When AuRye Red coursed the sky

Elven arrows in vain would fly,

He broke the ranks of men at will

In glittering mines dwarves he’d kill.

Grandsire he is through Father’s blood

A river of strength in fullest flood.

My egg was one of Irelia’s Clutch

Her wisdom passed in mental touch.

Mother took up before ever I woke

The parent dragon’s heavy yoke;

For me, her son, she lost her life

Murderous dwarves brought blackened knife.

A father I had in the Bronze AuRel

Hunter of renown upon wood and fell

He gave his clutch through lessons hard

A chance at life beyond his guard.

Father taught me where, and when, and how

To fight or flee, so I sing now.

Wistala, sibling, brilliant green

Escaped with me the axes keen
