THE DRAGON WITHIN US - We must ask ourselves.. How does one define ‘The Dragon Within Us’.. and what exactly is the Dragon, and of course, how does it correlate to inciting our Faith through the sword. 

 

To begin, compel yourselves to drop your attention toward this document and, look into your heart, your mind, and your soul.. What do you see? What memories and thoughts conjure up and come to mind when you look into your heart? Well, to the average reader, one might dig up memories from childhood, when they did not have responsibility or outside influenced stress, and simply lived a joyous life, a pure life. Now, to others, one might look back to the sins they have committed.. Perhaps the reader cursed out their mother, putting a hand in the till.. Or even indulging in hatred toward another for they have offended their proud morality.

 

The ladder half of the previous statement as mentioned above is the very snout of the dragon that lies within our souls.. Sins and temptation sown into the hearts of the Children of Horen by the Iblees all those millenia ago.. That is the dragon. The dragon sits in a cave, just as the dragon sits in our hearts.. As good Canonists we must pursue the light given to us by the aengul instead of the temptations of the Ibless.. Although, the wicked, the misguided, the evil have fallen through.. Indulging in sin.

 

If a good Canonist does not follow the path of the Sainthood, abiding by good moral and benediction.. May their soul be blessed for only the reward of the Seven skies awaits them.. However- those on the path of sin and lust, following their forefathers such as Krug or the Ibless.. Their lives will only become a visible nightmare to both the soul and body, this is why the good Canonist must remind themselves of higher authority brought to our brethren by the descendants of Horen.

 

Do not be fouled by the Dragon. The Dragon has the head and neck of a snake, deceitful and devious, slithering in the shadows just as the Iblees deceived Horen, do not let the eyes of the beast lead you into a life of trickery. The Dragon has the belly of a Toad, lustful and sluggish, do not let the beast drive your soul into a life of carnal desire just as the Ibless did to Malin. The Dragon has the legs of a pig, indulging and rapacious.. Do not let the beast drive you into a path of the seeking of clenching the endless hunger for greed and gold, just as the Ibless did to Urguan. And finally, the Dragon has the wings of a Daemon.. The wing is comparable to that of an aengul however it is corrupted and deformed.. A man may pray for wings although the only wings he will be given are those of a Daemon.. Not flying up into the skies but rather, deep, deep into the depths of the Iblees. 

 

As said within Wagnar’s Hymns as Prayers for the Canon, may we dedicate this moment to those of whom sought refuge in the Dragon’s cave, for they have sinned, reciting the Prayer for redemption, remembering the sacrifices our Mother of Mercy have incited toward the Descendants of Horen.

 

Our Father, King of all, please lead us away from temptation, and lead us towards Your eternal salvation. We beg that You allow us into Your embracing arms Lord, regardless of the struggles we must go through to be there. In nomine Patris, amen.

 

And so, this begs the question - how does the defiance of evil and the temptations of the Iblees correlate to spreading the Faith of Canon by the Sword? The answer is simple, there are many of whom follow the path of Sin, denouncing God and the scriptures of Horen’s pious descendants in exchange for the perceived riches and desires of whom the Dragon ever so more tempts our brethren. 

 

It is in the Church of Canon’s best intention to correct those misguided in both faith and moral through frequent recitings of the Holy Scrolls as instructed by the crowned in the Seven Skies, although - when the misguided do not accept the true faith and rather dwell in the Dragon’s cave willingly, in denial of God.. those devout and zealous have a single option - using the blade.

 

The Aenguls have gifted the descendants of Horen to be strong in mind and sword, with that our zealous canonist brethren must drive the dragon into recoiling in its own evil, cleansing the world of Iblees spawn if they do not submit to the will of God. In comparison to the widely accepted Canonist sects of today such as Augurism, to put the passion of St. Julai into the sword and will of our God is one of the most honorable acts a man of faith can pursue in times of threat.

 

Thus, it is the will of the zealot children of Horen to deny the temptations of the misguided, for the Dragon does not only dwell in a cave, rather, the Iblees can corrupt in our hearts, and the wicked can very well be among us, as Children of Horen we must take to the sword and defend the light of our blessed Lord.
