Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Ever since it hatched, the sky has been full of very dark clouds.

And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing. It’s learned to use its new wings quickly and you now have a hard time keeping it on the ground.

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.

"Fogging a dead horse." She heard that somewhere, but it doesn't really make much sense. Perhaps it means that clouding up a carcass, especially one as large as a horse, wouldn't do much, so it's a waste of time. Humans have the weirdest sayings, but at least this one sounds pretty neat. And there's the word "fogging" in it! That's the thing the little dragon does best. Even her egg had fog around it. She decided that "Fogging a Dead Horse" would be a great name.
