Shimmer-scale Dragons are a very beautiful breed with small—but highly reflective—scales that shimmer and shine as the dragon moves through water. They don’t have fins or webbed feet, but their long, eel-like bodies allow them to swim quite fast. They were once rumored to carry large pearls in their claws—causing many to seek them out in search of this fabulous treasure. In reality, the “pearl” is of greater value to the dragon, for the fabled treasure is actually an egg carried by a migrating female.

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.

One day, a scroll owner was exploring the world, seeking new adventures. She was then suddenly approached by her beloved guardian of nature, Xuan Tian Shangdi. The owner was stunned, having rarely seen the beautiful dragon since he'd grown up and began protecting her and the rest of the clan. As he grew closer to her, she noticed a shiny pearl clutched closely to him and the owner was stunned. She couldn't believe that before her was the egg of a bronze shimmer scale. Xuan spoke of how this little egg had been lying alone, but had predatory dragons ready to snatch her, so he saved it. The girl praised Xuan and went to take this beautiful egg back home, but he refused to let her touch it. 'Even though I cannot have my own child, I feel as though this one is mine'. And so he raised her not far from the main cave of the owner, and Princess Simone blossomed under the care of her surrogate father. They have remained inseparable since.
