Spitfires are a desert breed of dragon. Their dull brown bodies contrast with their brilliant turquoise markings, and they only blaze brighter when these dragons fight. Spitfires are notorious for their territorial natures, and the wing-edges of most are ripped and tattered before their first year is out. Spitfires are also noteworthy for their brilliant blue fire, which is used not for hunting or fighting, but rather for making glass caves from the sand, in which the dragons can soak up the sun.

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.

Sparta has spent his entire life making enemies. And it's not unintentional; he wants everyone to hate him. He wants each and every dragon to see him and be filled with rage and almost uncontrollable blood-lust. Even the interviewer, tolerant as he is, frequently wants to strangle Sparta.

However, the interviewer has excellent self-control and managed to ask why he wants so many enemies.

Apparently, he wants to be the best fighter in the Cave, and in order to do that, he'll have to fight often. He can't think of any better way to do that, other than to make a lot of enemies.
