Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Unlike the other hatchlings, this one hatched with wings.

Young dragons 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 typically marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own and are usually left alone by their mother.

Quantum might be small but he knows that in fact he is the most powerful, most important dragon in the whole wide world. Even if the other hatchies and adults poke fun at him, he just imagines how the smallest flap of his wings causes hurricanes at the other end of the world and sleeps soundly in his knowledge of the insignificance of everyone else but him.
