Lethal Nights (Brute Force)
Page 25
And so the day came that we like you, once so many, became so few.
Weak and hungry we huddled in the caves, lost and alone.
Then came you.
Your fire warmed us.
You fed us of your stock.
You strengthened us with your care.
Then to you, you drew but a few.
With your claw you drew, upon the arms of the few, an image of you.
Into the few you gifted the essence of you, and whisper you did, of warriors renewed.
Part of us, part of you, merged and melded to create a legacy true.
The legacy of the Dragon-Sons.
