Die or Fly

Hear me, you little featherheart, for the path that you would choose is not just to shape who you are but also forge the songs that would be sung for generations to come.

You may know me as the strongest, fastest, a weapon that could burn the world. But, I am more than flame and fury. I am a dragon willing to fall and fly. I am a dragon who has flown with a black heart of regret, rage, and pain. And as an ambassador, I must say that Basgiath College isn't a stepping stone, it's a stepping leap into the fire. It's where fate becomes reality, where the greatest dragons of all time and the featherhearts willing to walk on burning coals unite in pursuit of greatness.

The turrets that stand here have seen many blood sheds. Blood sheds of fellow cadets, of professors, of friends and lovers. Each drop dripping in these walls act as a reminder of what happens when arrogance overshadows strength and love. Every step in this place is like walking the parapet: close your eyes and you fall, breathe wrong, and you fall, let your mind wander, and you fall. And that fall, little featherheart, is a fall of shame. 

Scared? well don't be. Because if you are then, your blood is already blue and cold. Here, beneath the shadow of ancient wings, you will be tested: body, mind, and spirit. You will learn to command the flame that roars within, to wield sword and strategy alike, and to rise above every challenge that dares to break your will.

I am not here to paint a rosy picture, the roses here in Basgiath died long ago, and the only remains are the thorns. But there is a beauty in these thorns, a passion that not only draws blood, but all above power. Power to be unapologetically you. Power to become who you are meant to be. Now, whether you seek mastery over the arcane, the strength of the sword, or the bond of dragon and rider, Basgiath offers you the chance to rise.

So, I call you little featherheart. Cause the feathers maybe the lightest but with a true heart they are  strong enough to fly. Because here you don't have a chance to fall, only fly high. Will you step into the flames and emerge reborn? 

Now, get your leathers, cause you have dragons not only to ride... but to fight!
