Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It glows brightly, and seems to prefer warm areas.

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.

"It is time," he said, "for us to act. We few know the consequences of what is to come, if we fail to do it now."

The strong and magically powerful Black dragon spoke, and on that day, he and the Magi dragons held a conference. What was causing such disturbance was a tiny infant dragon, the little sleeping Ember dragon whose identity Dea'albar saw with his gift of magic Sight. The poor child was to become wild and crazy, nothing more than a power-hungry rogue -- as is an occurrence in dragons every once in awhile.

A simple cure found that they go to the scroll keeper, seeking a spell to stop any aging. Forever a baby, the infant dragon is no longer a future threat, given to Smoldering Heartbeats and her mate to look after. Currently it is loved very much.
