Champion



This is the reason,

This is why I have brought you

Along on my journey.

You must slay the dragons

That I, in younger years,

So foolishly and heedlessly

Fed from my hand

And now cannot vanquish

Without harm to myself.

But when you look at me,

Thinking that I have sold my soul,

Remember that I used the profit

To redeem yours.
