What act is this that man hath wrought In fiery breath and dragon's pain While weeping rain the dark sky mourns Til naught but tears and blood remain What act can heal the wyvern’s sting Or tally such a battle's cost That banishes the magic gift The dragon’s reign is lost What right hath king to such a reign For even he wears mortal flesh His reign of magic unrevealed Until the dragon’s life is spent
— from “Ethuelin’s Battle” in The Books of Doraan
