Youngling did come of age that day As he beheld the bloody fray. He chose his name to honour Gedd T'was Roth, he chose – that thoroughbred, Gedd and his siblings did respond, And with tattoos they sealed the bond.

T'was young Roth who lived in the sewers-O. Fol-de-rol-de rolo-o T'was the Dragon who lived in the sewers-O. Fol-de-rol-de rolo-o!

After Wyn and his siblings helped to defeat a dragon living in the sewers of the city of Valerez.
