The Heartbeat Curse

Why can we not feel our chests beat?

Why has the earth opened up its maw and reclaimed us?

As it spit us out to the mercy of Geborah,

So it wishes to revoke our heartbeat as dragons.

Cursed are the lives of that afflicted generation

Whose eyes might as well have been gouged from their dwelling.

We live, we love, we die in the age of true shadows.

This inscription was uncovered by the dragon archeologist Pøanï in the year 1500 ALA. It was translated by Professor Hunter of the Canterlot Institute for Bright Minds. The text is figured to have been written roughly three thousand years before the Ascension.
