Do you remember?
Scaled and fire breathing you are, but do you remember? 
The vines, the green.
The ancient waters?
Do you remember the churning sea of stars from which I have plucked your essence from?
I have made you, beloved.
I have breathed my breath into your lungs.
I have chosen your flesh and blood from the expanse. 
I have given you life.
Do you remember?
