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.

Cadmium is the average hatchling, even with the powerful spell that preserves his youth. He's strong and clever, and has a close bond with Lightshine, the blue water hatchling. He's being trained as a spell-caster by Mandarian, the only other Magi dragon in the Rain Clan. Once his training is done he will become a hatchling spy with Lightshine, and use his magic to protect the frozen hatchlings in this part of the clan.
