The dragon follows you, in its head and its mouth and its flames. The dragon is nature's only free and fearless being. They say a tattoo of it will mark you as someone unafraid and unholdable. I can see why it is on a fire station. They must journey through the fire and the flames to a goal that may be already gone. And childhood is the last time before the fires consume us, of worry, of fear, of loneliness. The dragon, flowing through the dragon, sets you through their fires and prepares you for the future. Just don't chase the dragon. Trust me on that. In any way. You just end up ash. And soot. And swept away by winds.
