Disperses dark clouds

To tame the Fates

I am the DRAGON!

The mighty and magnificent Dragon never ceases to enchant. The Dragon puppy  is full of vitality and strength. To him life is a blaze of colors and he is constantly on the go.

And since things are supposed to work both ways, he expects his people to forgiven his errors, too.

The solid earth beneath me.

The snake pup is the deepest thinker and enigma of the Chinese cycle. He is endowed with an inborn wisdom of his own; a mystic in his own right.

He is more often than not right!

I run unimpeded through virgin paths.

My spirit unconquered--

My soul forever free.
