A Navigator's Treasure:

For she who watches the tides of the sea
For she who guides the weary ship.
There is no greater treasure for her
Than a scroll of an ancient writ...

This artifact that we did find
Was stolen from a dragon's behind
Plucked it out from the creature's rear
whilst it nestled the egg that it held dear

So gold and fine was this glorious egg
That soon my mind began to renege
It was filled with thoughts of gold and riches
So tangible that I nearly pissed me britches

Me accent soon began to change
I thought like a thug who was most deranged
Gamblin' at tables would be might fine
With an egg of such a rich design.

So I stole the thing and ran fer tha night
But soon my mind returned ta tha light
I forgot that the scroll was meant fer yer birthday
Sorry Lyra, we'll get it another day...

"And that's why I uh, got ye this egg Lyra, uh, happy birthday yah?"

Right so, I was sailin' through a dragon's cave ta try and find somethin' lovely fer me Navigator :iconlyrajolt: on her birthday. Now, we could spend tha day pointin' fingers and layin' tha blame on, but tha' egg was just SOOOO COOL!

So I kinda stole it and fergot about tha scroll, but at least ye have an egg yah?

Happy Birthday Lyra ^^
