When Water Dragons mature, they lose the ability to survive on land, entering the water permanently. They are adept swimmers and eat whatever fish are in the lake they live in. They tend to inhabit the same lake for their entire lives, although a few live in the ocean and swim all over the world.

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.

The Prince Tenor is a wandering, singing dragon. His voice is like the ripple of metallic ringing scales sliding through waters of song, like the song of a blushing water lily that just burst into blooming blossom or like the praise of the stars to the moon, the moon to the sun, and the sun to its Maker.

Wandering the worlds and singing to the creatures, he has once heard of a voice to match his own. Once, in the world of dragons, while exploring the most beautiful place he had yet seen he heard the voice of a female. Her voice rose to the sky and the sky trembled with the beauty of it. The stars shone the brighter, and the moon burst, and the flowers seemed to shine like the sun. The Prince fell in love. A glimpse of her was all he saw, and then she was gone.

His own parent's deep and true love inspired him to wait for the One, no matter what it cost him. Since that night he has never stopped looking for her.
