The Book of Temples Chapter 22
Glory and Ruin
looked at their People
whom were neither large nor small.
The Child God believed
there should be creatures
many times larger than them.
They would have smart minds
equal to humans
greater than mere animals.
Hides of scaled metal,
heads adorned with horns,
great claws and spiked tails lashing.
Two legs and two arms,
yet walking on fours,
vast wings to hold one aloft.
Dragons and humans
working together
would always seize victory.
Glory and Ruin
knew that their siblings
could be both cunning and cruel.
The Children could bring
madness to the world
or force others to obey.
Glory and Ruin
wanted their People
to enforce independence.
The Child God devised
a strange formula
to impregnate the mountain.
The world itself would
grow fetal dragons
within its molten womb.
