Poem:
Bloodfire
As I stand guard upon my black sark in the early morning
light, a foggy mist rolls out of the forest valley and over the lake.
As I look to the mountains, I see our fleet advancing in front of
towering storm clouds. As lightning illuminates the black storm clouds
and thunder rolls over us like the crashing of ocean waves upon the
rocks, and with the cold rain-scented autumn wind blowing in our faces,
I remember a poem my Grandfather taught me around the campfire on my
first hunt.
BLOODFIRE
As I stand on the cliff overlooking the ancient Battlefield
I feel the
thunderous heartbeat of the BloodFire in my soul
Standing shoulder to
shoulder with my fellow Warriors
I feel the
thunderous heartbeat of the BloodFire in my soul
Awaiting the
approach of our enemies once again
I remember the glory of our home world-Kronos
I feel the
thunderous heartbeat of the BloodFire in my soul
I remember the
history of my people
I feel the
thunderous heartbeat of the BloodFire in my soul
I remember the
lineage of my ancestors back to the time of Kahless
I honor the ancient history of my house, T'Ruqnar
I feel the
thunderous heartbeat of the BloodFire in my soul
I honor my fellow
warriors, past and present, of the IKV Kri'stak
I feel the
thunderous heartbeat of the BloodFire in my soul
I honor all the
honorable and noble Warriors who have preceded me
I remember and honor the lineage of my family
I feel the
thunderous heartbeat of the BloodFire in my soul
I remember and honor
the stories of my people
I feel the
thunderous heartbeat of the BloodFire in my soul
I remember and honor
the start of my Warrior's journey, my Nenghep
I remember and honor my first hunt
I feel the
thunderous heartbeat of the BloodFire in my soul
I remember and honor
my first victory in battle
I feel the
thunderous heartbeat of the BloodFire in my soul
I remember and honor
the strength of the Bat'leth in my hands
I sense the presence of the Warriors awaiting me in Sto-Vo-Kor
I feel the
thunderous heartbeat of the BloodFire in my soul
I am a Warrior who
has shown his heart along the river of blood
I feel the
thunderous heartbeat of the BloodFire in my soul
I see the blood of
my enemies dripping from my Bat'leth and know
THAT TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO DIE............................
