Ode to the Fire Pig
Summary
An old poem about a hero of the Hog Folk who was seemingly born out of flames. The poam is as follows:
Born of Embers, bold and bright,
A flame that dances through the night,
With hooves of strentgh and heart ablaze,
The Fire Pig strides through smoky haze,
Not just beast of earth and mud,
It carries sparks within his blood,
A soul that burns fierce desire,
A loyal friend, a blazing fire,
Stubborn? Yes but brave and true,
A fighter neath a sky of blue,
It charges life without regret,
And never ever will forget
Golden laughter, crimson rage,
A warrior wise beyond its age,
The Fire Pig roars both fierce and kind,
A firestorm with a noble mind,
So raise your glass and lift it high,
To flaming stars that grace sky,
For in this world both wild and big,
Few shine so bright as the Fire Pig
