Prose of a dragon's arrival...

Two pieces of poetry about a "Sae'rid" appear, scattered in The Drain, The Mist Camp, and all around Barovia...

Quote
Crimson Scales Glint Like Gold

Time and greed caught up to you;
gagged you into silence.
Chasing down the dragon was
Your favorite form of violence.

It left gouges in your skin,
and so weeped your succulent flesh,
but you could only admire so
how his hoard smelled oh so fresh.

Arms fail under oppressive might;
the shadow cast upon you is that of both his blades.
Weapon on the ground, cast eyes of acceptance,
the time has come to end this charade.

You bow before him, and bask in the dragon's glory.

Quote
His Eyes are Dark Jewels

All will hail and praise him,
we'll sing him songs of war.
Fire breathing dragon,
coming to settle the score!

His wings a fiery hellsong,
they bring light to our lands!
His scale and heart adamant stars,
he could be the end of man!

But so he'll spare the nation;
his love is our salvation;
Love him, feel no fear,
adore him; your hero is here!

Gaze into Sae'rid's eyes,
and shower him with your affection;
such evades your demise,
by granting him due attention...

Another piece of prose...

Quote
He’ll Devour the Moon

The dragon looms before her,
With wanting, waiting jaws;
With his taloned fingers,
He grasped her in his claws.

He tore down the moon from a glittering night sky;
His voice a rending thunder to make the weak cry!

As she struck the ground, gasping in disbelief,
The horde of peasants cried out in grief!

Their lord, their new sun, it is the dragon’s eyes;
Bow down to Sae’rid, or accept your demise...

(A note is written in impeccable handwriting, it is labeled as a response to: "He'll Devour the Moon" by Sae'rid. It is pinned to both the trees at the Mist Camp and on the outskirts of Vallaki)

What he believes to be within his claws
could not be further from his grasp.
Words slithering from forked tongue,
reflect a spitting poisonous asp.

You covet that which is not yours
and relish what you cannot hold,
continue clinging to your paltry conviction;
you'll be left with naught but fool's gold.

Your gaping maw won't ever taste
the perfect light of the silver sphere,
for adoration will never sprout
from planting seeds of fear.

Another...

Quote
The City Eater

The dragon's plight is wrought with fire,
for passion and stones are his desire.
Every human's gaze must turn,
or in his footsteps, their homes will burn!

Sae'rid is coming, a dragon of passion;
Bow down and kneel, or become ashen...
as the creature lands, and folds his wings,
he demands jewels fit for a king.

And so the earth weeps, agash a burning scar,
For in his hands is a fallen star.

Quote
His Breath a Furnace

The dragon’s breath is a furnace,
Enough to melt steel.
His heart is a white-hot star,
Whose light makes skin peel...

Sae’rid is the winter’s foe;
His tongue melts any ice.
Give him the cold shoulder,
And meet the dragon’s vice.

He requires no heat,
and fears no sun,
All he needs are those rubies and sapphires...
and he needs every one.

Our matron Selyth begets... bring us stones, and be rewarded.
Be done.
