We hunted as pair, made our kill

From stormy raindrops drank our fill

When elves and dwarves took after us

I told her “Run,” and lost her thus.

Bound by ropes; by Hazeleye freed

And dolphin-rescued in time of need

I hid among men with fishing boats

On island thick with blown sea-oats

I became a drake and breathed first fire

When dolphin-slaughter aroused my ire.

I ran with wolves of Blackhard’s pack

Killed three hunters on my track

The Dragonblade’s men sought my hide

But I escaped through a fangèd tide

Of canine friends, assembled Thing

Then met young Djer, who cut collar-ring.

I crossed the steppes with dwarves of trade

On the banks of the Vhydic Ironriders slayed

Then sought out NooMoahk, dragon black

And took my Hieba daughter back

To find her kind; then took first flight

Saw NooMoahk buried in honor right.

When war came to friends I long had known

My path was set, my heart was stone

I sought the source of dreadful hate

And on this Isle I met my fate

Found Natasatch in a cavern deep

So I had one more promise to keep.

To claim this day my life’s sole mate

In future years to share my fate
