Sunsong Amphipteres are an unusual breed. Due to light interference caused by their magical nature, they don’t seem to be affected by any ambient light source. However, when struck by direct sunlight, they shine a brilliant gold. They are playful and ever in flight; their ethereal and mysterious appearance and the fact that they are usually only seen at a distance have led many to believe they are a symbol of hope and good fortune.

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.

If the Uncita clan had a contest for the shyest amphiptere in their clan, Yaka would definitely win. She is unnaturally shy and stays away from other beings at all costs except her owner and a beautiful male amphiptere. But Yaka is capable of one ability: to capture the interest of even the most dangerous dragons. Yaka would sacrifice herself for the ones she loves, even commit suicide if she has to. Few dragons in her clan could do that.

Her history began when she was an egg. Sherepta1, Yaka's owner, traded several good wolf furs and got a Sunsong Amphiptere egg in return. She cared for Yaka and worked with her as much as she could, but Yaka's behavior was final. Yaka learned to fly at a very early age, two months before most hatchlings could.
