[Grips on a scribe's pen and begins to write on the parchment] As I reflect on my choice, I feel the weight of it settling within me-the Earth Dragon. It feels right, a reflection of the forces that shape who I am. The Dragon, ambitious and full of energy, embodies the fire inside me-the drive to push forward, to lead, and to create something greater than myself. Yet, I am not a reckless storm, nor do I soar aimlessly. My connection to Earth keeps me grounded, steady, and measured. While my ambition drives me to succeed, my patience ensures that I do so with thoughtfulness, never rushing blindly ahead. I am not one to chase fleeting victories; instead, I build, nurture, and sustain, making sure that every effort, every step, has meaning and purpose. I have always been someone who endures where others falter. I hold steady while others waver. While some Dragons may burn bright and fade quickly, I weather storms with resilience. I take pride in my reliability; People know they can count on me, not just because I am strong, but because I am steadfast. I do not abandon commitments or turn my back when things become difficult. Where others might chase excitement during hunts, I seek stability and purpose, ensuring that everything I put my energy into is ever-lasting. So I always hunt moderately but with an aim to be stronger to venture off to a cave that I could handle. I carry the weight of my responsibilities without hesitation, knowing that my strength is not just for myself, but for those who rely on me. But even as I acknowledge my strengths, I know my struggles as well. Do I hold on too tightly? I know that my sense of responsibility can make me overprotective, unwilling to let go, even when I should. I hesitate when it comes to taking risks, fearful of failure, of losing something I worked so hard to build. And failure; how it lingers in my mind longer than it should. I feel my losses deeply, sometimes retreating into caution when I should be bold. The Dragon within me urges me to take flight, to push past the fear, yet the Earth beneath my feet makes me question every step. I must remind myself that not every fall is a disaster, and not every risk leads to ruin. Courage is not the absence of fear, it is the decision to move forward despite it. This is why I seek my zodiac and element to be revealed. The Earth Dragon is who I am, but also who I must strive to become. My journey will not be without challenges, I will always feel the weight of my own expectations, the struggle between security and ambition. But I am not bound by fear. I am a builder, a protector, a leader, and I will rise, not just because I am strong, but because I have the wisdom to know when to stand firm and when to take flight. -Splurge Goldsworth- | |
