The Wounded Hero

In this episode, our hero, a figure of valor draped in special armor, resplendent sword in hand, stands poised for battle.  Suddenly, the hideous dragon unleashes a torrent of unrestrained fury, scorching the hero and the earth with his venomous breath.  In the wake of the blistering onslaught, our hero crumples to the ground, writhing in pain.  Bearing the terrible wounds of the dragon’s ferocity, a harrowing sense of defeat hangs in the air.  It appears as though our hero is doomed.  Join us in this episode as we journey through the pages of ancient lore and unlock the esoteric meaning behind, and profound theological significance of, the hero's wounds.
