Burned beyond bearable
sulphur rises about me-
but I survived.
I have come through the gauntlet
and ridden the flame.
I am TrialbyFire.
Born to a night of crashing thunder
the lightning sent a tribute to me.
The rain lashed my face
and the clouds frowned their approval.
I am Moondark.
In a land where water
is life, money, wealth,
I lived for a thousand years
and did not die.
The desert sand hissed in fury
but could not conquer me.
I am DesertBlade.
All these names are mine,
but none yet do I cherish,
which do you desire?
Choose my name
and clothe my naked person.
Author notes
TrialbyFire, DesertBlade, Moondark, Lunardevil, Crysjag, etc. These just sound cool to me, though I am not dark enough to use them...random thoughts of mine...I just picked the ones I liked best cause I couldn't just choose one. I hope that's OK...
