Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence 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. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.

Dragons don't communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.

White dragons are pacifists and specialize in extremely strong healing magic. The only limit of this magic is that it can't bring back the dead. They only eat plants and never kill living things.

Kiernan Duard is a typical white dragon. He often settles scores between the adult dragons and stops fights between the hatchlings. But he is a loner as well, almost never socializing with the other dragons unless he has to. His patience is through the roof, but he just does not get along with the other dragons. When it's his turn to watch the hatchlings or eggs he tells them stories, and Sarah can often get just bits and peices of it as she walks by, doing her own chores and work.
