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.

Black dragons are warriors. They are strong and capable in battles of force, but also ample magic users, capable of devastating opponents with their spells. Their bright eyes give them excellent night vision, which is why they generally hunt during the night.

Being neutral has never been such an easy thing. Valzarnsi has lived a life which is far too easy for his demeanor. He has never cared about anything in truth. He is emotionless, almost thoughtless in his actions. He does things effortlessly and never dwells on mistakes.

Here's where you'd expect to hear that he has a whole other side. That he is truly deeply hurt inside and he actually does care about some things. But that is not the case. If it was, he would lose his mate. Zalexia is hyper-sensitive, so therefore can feel every emotion, every pain. The only reason their relationship works is that he is indeed totally emotionless, cold.

A deeper part of him may care for her, for he has never mated with another despite numerous opportunities. But it is literally impossible to tell. He has gained the nickname "the Ice King" behind his back.
