Falconiform Wyverns are normally shy creatures. However, when approached, they often feel threatened, and the flames along their bodies leap higher. Females tend to be smaller than males, though Falconiform Wyverns are typically rather large overall. They use their size to their advantage by hunting smaller dragons. The Falconiform’s graceful, swooping dives are said to resemble birds of prey. Falconiforms are largely solitary dragons that only meet in order to breed.

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.

Fugue sighed as he watched his lover swooping through the sky. The lithe Nhiostrife was one of the most agile dragons the flock had ever seen, and the most perfect and beautiful, at least in Fugue's opinion.

With a roar of challenge, Fugue launched into the air, scattering the cloud of female Nhiostrifes gathered admiringly around Azure's hovering form. Fugue would only share his lover with Lilac, Azure's oldest friend, who only became something more during the rare breeding season when the longing for children became too strong for them both.

Azure's rich, deep laugh touched upon Fugue's mind as the Nhiostrife carefully touched his snout to the Falconiform's. "My heart is yours, silly dragon."

With that, Azure dived, the invitation to chase writ all over his body. Fugue folded his wings back and followed. Chasing was fun, and what came after even more so.
