Bright-Breasted Wyverns are a breed of dragon easily recognized by their bright red markings. They are a small breed, only the size of a full-grown man. However, they have developed poisonous barbs on their feet to make up for their size. Their coloration is used to warn off potential predators of the danger, and is also used to attract mates. They are very social, and can often be seen preening in large groups.

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.

Freely Flying is a son to an injured dad and a sick mother. He has heard stories of the "outside world" and is dying to see it. Everyday he bugs his pack's elders and begs them to let him see the outside world but they all say, "It is better to stay inside the pack and safe than outside and in danger. You have a lot to learn about that young one." One day when he couldn't take that answer anymore he decided to run off when the adult dragons weren't watching. Unfortunately for him the elders saw him, as did his Mom. He got in trouble and had to help with the eggs for a month. He still wonders about the outside world and is thinking of another, and hopefully better, fool-proof plan.
