Description

Kind of ironic that the last image I did yesterday pretty much makes a perfect synopsis for the very foreboding dream I had today, which is that no matter how I appear as, at the end, I`m still a human being. A member of the race of Men if we talk Middle-Earth ... and thus, in a way, I`m as corruptible as any other Man (thus the more yellow-oriented golden glowing flames this dragon is completely enveloped in: it`s not just because it`s a flaming gold dragon spectre like this one, but also because the Ring`s influence can be seen in it as well), the only reason for not fully succumbing to its corruption being my own choice of not letting it corrupt me (or at least I don`t let it deal its full damage on me, even if the corruption still lingers), no matter how hard the temptation is (as you can see with The Eye Glittering Gem Bullet (Blue) - F2U as well, since in all dreams where it appeared with me as well (one of them including it being in a shape of the ring Diamond Ring Icon Transparent instead of the gem, as Bazzkorg already knows about), I didn`t even touch it, let alone approach it due to my own choice or because of physical obstacles). This can also be seen in the title itself as well, as "The Ring of the Nibelung"`s plot "
revolves around a magic ring that grants the power to rule the world, forged by the Nibelung dwarf Alberich from gold he stole from the Rhine maidens in the river Rhine. The Ring itself as described by Wagner is a Rune-magic taufr ("tine", or "talisman") intended to rule the feminine multiplicative power by a fearful magical act termed as 'denial of love' ("Liebesverzicht"), which is probably an allusion to ritual circumcision /.../" and "it follows the struggles of gods, heroes and several mythical creatures over the eponymous magic ring that grants domination over the entire world. The drama and intrigue continue through three generations of protagonists, until the final cataclysm at the end of Götterdämmerung." Yup, even though Tolkien would probably lynch me for this kind of allusion. ^^;

If you wish to know the details of the dream I`m telling you about (and which also involved the bare instrumental version of this song www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcBVf5… playing while the Dwarven Ring of Power who looked like this heirsofdurin.files.wordpress.c… , only with a giant ruby at the center and 4 smaller clear diamonds being on the points of the big square base, slowly glowed more and more in my hand after I found it in a shallow grave in the middle of the forest (which apparently belonged to Thorin) encircling a blood red-colored globe that resembled this one 3.bp.blogspot.com/-yAnPo-bX5Tk… , only without the basin and being really small ... and I got the same ambient feeling of its temptation just like Frodo did with the One Ring more than enough times before I got it knocked out of my hands, THANK THE LIGHT), just ask me in the comments ... and I`m really hoping that if I start to become more and more different, then I really hope you can stop me by any means necessary. I don`t wish to become a villain after all ... I just cannot. I JUST CANNOT, for the sake of all of you!

A very impressive and well done dragon or fire dragon as I would clal it, and those effects and your skills have gotten a lot better than some year ago :P
