Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It glows with some form of arcane energy.

And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing.

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.

Alayrin is a particularly small magi hatchling, partly because his father is a mint dragon. He hates being called small and refuses to accept that he won't grow anymore. He's often lectured by both his parents for his short temper but he never seems to learn.
