The Door of Embers

The Door of Embers

You chose the door still warm from flame.

Not everyone would.

Some are drawn to safety.
You were drawn to heat.

The dragon does not burn without reason.
It protects what it has earned.

Look closely.

The embers still glow, but the fire is no longer raging. The dragon rests — not because it is weak, but because it knows its strength. Nothing here is accidental. Every coin, every jewel, every scar has been claimed through endurance.

If you chose this door, you are standing before your own power.

There is something in your life you have fought for.
Something you built.
Something you protected when others doubted you.

You may not always show your fire — but it is there.

The dragon is not a symbol of destruction.
It is sovereignty.

It does not apologize for its scale.
It does not shrink to make others comfortable.
It does not abandon its treasure because someone else envies it.

You are allowed to guard what you value.
You are allowed to protect your time, your energy, your work, your peace.

And you are allowed to enjoy what you have earned.

This door opens to confidence without apology.

To strength without chaos.

To the understanding that power is not loud — it is controlled.

The embers glow because the fire has already done its work.

You do not need to prove your strength.

You only need to remember it.
