My Ego Takes the Reins

The dawn breaks and triumph floods my spirit as I seize the reins. My pulse quickens at the rush of power, the horses leaping skyward at my command. Cities below shrink beneath my rising glory, and stars bow aside. Pride sings loudly in my veins and father's warnings vanish like the morning mist. How foolish his fears now seem, for today, I alone guide the burning wheel that even the great Zeus dare not touch.
