Pyralspite dragons are small, swift dragons that can breathe an intensely hot flame. They get their name from their resemblance to and affinity for garnets of the pyralspite family—they hoard such gems, preferring garnets that match their variant, and can tell the type of garnet from how it tastes. The dark red variant is known as Pyrope. They tend to be fiercely loyal and noble, and have a stronger sense of justice than other Pyralspites. They live primarily in volcanic areas.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Forever, as his name is pronounced, is one of Lightning's primary consultants when it comes to disciplinary matters. He has the strong sense of justice Pyropes are known for and a considerable amount of wisdom along with it. Forever has a knack for perfectly matching the punishment with the crime, no matter his relationship with the dragon involved. He radiates an air of cool indifference at all times, showing very little emotion; a faint smile from him is the equivalent of jumping up and down and squealing with excitement. This makes him one of those dragons that is terrifying when they lose their temper, but only because their fuse is so long that it rarely ever happens. Forever has only lost it twice; both times, the dragon who tipped him over the edge was flamed so spectacularly that even the ashes were burned away.
