Paragon Of Dragoon Excellence

by RevivedPhoenix

An old poem I wrote years ago back when I was still a young Dragoon. I attempted to keep it close to the quest where one would become a Dragoon as well as the lifestyle one would face while on said journey becoming a true Dragoon.

Paragon of Dragoon Excellence

How far would you go for your kind?

Would you journey through a great maze,
Face the perils 'round every bend?

Would you search for your destiny,
Encompassed in a fragile egg?

Protect it with your life?

Fight the odds of death?

Would you never stand alone,
But always stand few in number?

Would you test your boundaries,
Risking everything in the process?

A lifetime of work?

Decades of devotion?

Would you disregard the taunts of others,
Despite their puckish ways?

Would you ignore the false gods,
The paragon of ignorance?

Tell them they are wrong?

Stand against all odds?

Would you give up abysmal strength,
For something more eternal?

Would you rely on your inner light,
Unfathomable by mere numbers?

Lack gaudy shows of power?

Become the black sheep?

Would you realize there is something more,
Something greater than brute force?

Would you fight with your heart,
Courage and honor alike?

Arm yourself with nothing but a spear?

Relinquish all defences?

Would you take up the path less traveled,
The unpaven road that is Dragoon?
