Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It is very active and playful.

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.

Velvet flash was a carefree hatchling, who was growing into an adult. But he was afraid of the adult life, so one day right before he slept he wished on a shooting star. He wished that he would stay a hatchling forever. The next morning when he woke up, he did not feel different so he did not think it worked. But a week after that night, he saw his friends grown up and he was still a hatchling. The wish had worked and Velvet flash knows he will be a hatchling forever.
