Solve the riddle to find the Dragon

The dragon rests within her lair above the circle eight.

Soon, her mother will reclaim her, for she shares our fate.

She can warm your soul with unseen fire-- as she laughs at the wire that tries to hold her in.

Can you find her and get the blessing before this long day ends?

The mortgage on her earthly home is held by one so little known.

A namesake that tamed the fearsome tiger and opened the locks of the old empire.

Around her sanctuary, petals bloom in perfect order.

Alas today, this seed could not cross the border.

If you find her space of healing, hold her secrets sure.

Eden's code, for now unbroken, connection is the cure.

In this anointed quest, riches will abound;

In dust of One sky,

In ash of One ground.

1. Safety first. Participants take part at their own risk.
