Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It gives off a glow that lights up the cave.

Look, it’s grown frills, and the glow around it has become even brighter.

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.

Gessinus has been hit by a mysterious meteorite a long, long time ago. Since then, he mysteriously stopped aging. Despite the fact he looks like one of the youngest dragons of his flock, he actually is one of the eldest and wisest dragons.

Two dragons of his flock who don't believe this story have took him under their supervision and are thus called his parents, but don't let this fool you; they're not his real parents.
