Aww... It’s a cute baby drake. It has the colors of a bright summer day.

And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing.

Young drakes are relatively defenseless. They are born with relatively soft scales, which are shed and replaced with harder ones as the hatchling matures. Once a hatchling’s wings grow in, it marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own.

Ray is her mother's, father's, and indeed her whole family's little treasure. Always happy, without a care in the world, and innocently having fun, no one can help but smile seeing the little drakeling fluttering around in the morning sun. She might not be the most intelligent or interesting creature, but she brings a little sunshine into the hearts of any dragon or human she meets and at the end of the day that's not too bad.
