A Dragon's Retribution [Book 3 in Rising Dragons]

Song 1

This is the song that accompanies the last chapter, accompanies their travels. It's a reminder and acceptance. It's how far they've come and everything they've managed and failed. It's an uplifting song, for all that it came from a Disney film. It's meaningful, and I definitely enjoy listening to this song when I'm struggling.

This is here for them, for all these characters, for Thirak, for Rya, for Azrael. But it's also here for you and me. We all have our individual struggles, and some of you have gone through problems whilst reading this series and whilst it's being written, and maybe you haven't. Whichever, whatever, it is – you're getting through and you've got this. Keep those heads held high, keep standing up, you haven't lost anything yet.

The Climb by Miley Cyrus

I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head saying
You'll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I
I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on, 'cause

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb (yeah)

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes you gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb (yeah yeah ea ea)

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It's all about
It's all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith

Whoa oh oh
