Vremya Drakes are known for their impeccable abilities to alter time as an instinctual response to external stimuli. Whenever they feel threatened or startled, Vremya Drakes are capable of locking their target into a temporary time loop, allowing the drakes to escape unscathed. This attachment to time magic also supplies them insight to potential outcomes a few moments ahead to give them an advantage in dangerous situations. Many instances of deja vu have been attributed to Vremya Drakes and their time loops. Once heralded as the most intelligent drake breed, they are actually not much smarter than the average drake, but their unique method of distracting enemies has falsely given them a reputation of cunning and acumen.

Though it may appear at first that dragons and drakes have much in common, the two are completely separate species. Drakes are smaller and less intelligent than their cousin species, though both dragons and drakes sit comfortably near the top of the food chain. They are always found bearing antlers and leathery wings. Drakes share many of the same habitats that dragons do, and typically hunt in packs.

Retriviv is a well-trained drake, not afraid of monsters, teleportation, or sudden noises. He is a service drake, and while he might not know how to read the words printed on the side of his vest, he knows he has an important job to do. There is only one thing that reliably makes him panic, and that is his owner, qT0NE, going into anaphylactic shock. When the sapphire starts gasping and collapses, Retriviv freaks out and creates a time loop all the way back to before they went to the restaurant in which the problem arose. T0Ne is sensitive enough to time that he feels the loop and knows it means the restaurant he was planning to go to will contaminate his food with peanuts and he should go somewhere else instead. Retriviv loves T0NE dearly and follows him everywhere.
