The egg faded away completely; in its place there’s a cute baby dragon. It doesn’t seem to have much substance, though.

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.

Giyeny, or just Giyen, is a fairly young hatchling. Giyen is cautious around other hatchlings, but has grown to trust that the other frozen hatchlings mean him no harm. He takes care of his owner by reminding her to take breaks from working or writing to eat and sleep. Although he normally prefers to curl up in the corner, he finds his way next to his owner while she is eating, generally to steal food from her plate. Giyen hunts outside of the cave, but being so young, shifting between realms is hard for him and he rarely ventures outside if he can avoid it.
