In the Beginning

I am the Dragon that lives underground.

I am the Fire Provider, She who gave fire to mankind as a source of light and heat through which all live and survive.

I am the Mistress of Ash, the force behind all volcanic activity.

I am the Electrifying Lady, the lightning strike behind every thunderous storm.

I have been alive since the dawn of time, and once was the Guardian of the Goddess.

I am still. Just from under your feet.

I rest in the core of the earth. Heat cannot hurt me for I am its Mother. Cold does not affect me for I am my own inner heat.

I am the First Survivor, the first to emerge from the ancient fires of hell.

I am the Virgin Mother, bearer of the Savior, having mourned the death of my own firstborn.

I am the Greatest Warrior of Heaven, once the Guardian of her Gates.

I am one of the Last Surviving Dragons into this new age.

I am called Strythera to the people I have lived among.

And this is my story.
