Ash and Fire

The first dragon was not the last,

The one that crawled out from the earth.

And soon more of its foul kind followed,

And misery they birthed.

…

City after city burned,

It happened all the same.

Region after region fell,

Consumed in dragon flame.

…

I saw the fear in people's eyes,

Terror in what they said.

I saw whole countries turned to ash,

I saw the fires spread.

…

I saw civilization come to rubble,

I saw a ruined world.

I saw people turn to desperation,

No nation's flag unfurled.

…

And thus I see a darker world,

A world of ash and flame,

A world where dragons rule the skies,

A world of fire's reign.
