Firno au Ignis

 "Trough fire and flames. You may feel the warmth. But will you reclaim, your many names. You bear the mark of Ash and flame, henceforth. 

' What is your call, jack of many trades? What do you desire? Will you march your brigades? Fly free or fly higher? '

' Oh what will you choose. I await for the time. When the news Will speak of the grime, '

' Son of Ash and Fire.  '''
