How Thubel ate the Sun

This is a common bedtime tale in some parts of the The Kingdom of Excelsis, which tells the story of the birth of Mount Dragonsbreath as well. It is told in the form of a poem. The moral of the story that parents tend to pass to their children is never to disobey Excelsis, but scholars argue that there could be other interpretations.     In the night, sleeping, dreaming   Lied a dragon, basking, beaming   His scales tempered by void and flame   He scowled at the power he could not tame   He stretched his wings   (Ascension)   The air grew thin   (Breakthrough)   Disobeying his king   Breaking convention   Committing Sin   The cold subdued   The dragon Thubel   Was among the stars   The burning heat   Opened his scars   His flesh was liquid   His bones were charred   He bit the sun   (Chomp)   And took a shard   Excelsis grew angry   The heat grew unbearable   Thubel invoked wrath   Great and terrible   He fell to the mountain   Called Dragonbreath   The shard of the star   Alive in his breast   The power was angry   The mountain erupted   For the dragon Thubel   Did not do as instructed     There is much debate over this poem, who it was written by, and it’s purpose. Although no one is alive to remember the creation of Mount Dragonsbreath, and dragons themselves have not been seen in decades, at least not by anyone who would tell the public. Although the origin of Mount Dragonsbreath is not written in fact, it has been noted that the  volcanic activity it sometimes produces is both magical and much more destructive than other volcanoes. It is a topic of debate wether the lava that spews from Dragonsbreath matches the power of a star. All that is known of Thubel is that he once existed, and was an extremely powerful dragon who had large ambitions.
