" Long before the universe was born,
Chaos rose form a celestial storm.
Alone for eons in an endless night,
The god awoke and created light.
Hail, Black Dragon. I'm Emperor of this land.
What? Dragon hissed, tail swishing in the sand.
Chaos made me ruler of land and beasts.
I did not see you at that happy feast.
True, said the Emperor, 'twas before my time.
The world has since changed, land and men are now mine.
'Tis the first I've heard of this, Black Dragon said.
Deep within his heart he felt the fist of dread. "
― B.L. Sauder , Year of the Golden Dragon
