The Stormwalker's Creed
BY Drakaris Thalion

The storm reveals, the sky reveals
The wind reveals, the fire heals
But I will walk, my path is set
Through flame, through flood, I won’t forget

The world deceives, the weak will bow
Yet I stand firm, I take no vow
To beg for grace or plead for peace
For strength is earned, it won’t be leased

The rain consumes, the cold will bite
Yet still I walk, my step ignites
The road extends, the climb is steep
But I have carved my roots too deep

Through thunder’s call and shadow’s wail
Through whispered doubt and hollow tale
I do not yield, I do not stray
For storms can’t steal what fire stays

I know the weight of shattered ground
Of battle lost, of fate unbound
I’ve seen the chains, the lies they weave
But truth is mine, I don’t deceive

The weak will kneel, the lost will fade
Their hands will shake, too scared to trade
Their comfort’s chain for freedom’s fight
But I was forged for storms, not light

I do not seek the easy road
I do not bow to any code
That whispers fear, that shrouds the flame
The path I walk will bear my name

The mountain stands, the river swells
The fire burns, I walk through hell
And though the night will stretch so wide
The dawn will bow where I reside

No force will break the heart that knows
The storm will rise, the walker grows
So let the wind release its cry
I do not break, I do not die

For I have walked through death’s embrace
I’ve stared it down, I’ve held my place
And though the world will shake and seethe
It bows before the stormwalker’s creed

Yet still they try to bring me low
To drag me where the shadow grows
They whisper doubt, they feed their lies
But I see clear, I won’t comply

For chains will bind the ones who kneel
Who trade their fire for what they feel
But I was never shaped that way
I walk through storms, I do not stray

The lightning strikes, the fire burns
Yet still I march, I don’t return
For fear is dust, and pain is brief
A lesson carved through trial’s teeth

They ask me why I choose this path
Where thorn will tear and ocean clash
Where safety’s lost, where ease is gone
Where battle rages dusk till dawn

I do not walk for gold or gain
I do not rise for hollow fame
I do not kneel, I do not flee
For storms are where I’m meant to be

So let the thunder shake the land
Let river rise, let time demand
I do not falter, do not plead
For this is mine, the stormwalker’s creed
