Jiho the Fierce Jehad Dragon
Jiho, the Japanese guardian woke up from a glorious hundred year nap
He heard the Korean people screaming and shrieking
His green eyes popped open; he was happily sleep-flying again!
Part of him wanted to stop destroying the harbor,
But the violent side was filling a thirst he recognized
as his real soul self, his mission was clear. He had to crucify.
I am a Jehad Dragon, he reminded himself. My duty is to slay.
I am a killing machine; I am all-powerful. They will obey me.
They will fear me. They will bow down when they see me.
They will crown me the King of the Japanese Warrior Dragons!
Mohi, his wife flew next to him and handed him Baby ChiChoo.
It’s your turn to take him today, she said. And he is wet.
Popped his dreams of grandeur in midair.
