No matter how Just the cause for which he fights
There are times, my friend,
When the Dragon will still win."

    We are raised on story book tales of ever after,
    And we see movies where the good guy never wins.

    The truth is there are no good guys or bad guys.

    Thank you for hosting and for the HM, Riftkin. Congratulations, one and all. Well done, Poets and Scribes. Now that we've gotten some new emoticons, I wonder when we'll be getting one for a dragon???
