Striped Dragons come in a dazzling array of colors complemented by an intricate pattern of stripes. These bright colors and patterns help attract their favorite food, insects. Because their prey is so tiny, striped dragons must spend a large portion of their day eating. The color of the offspring is usually determined by the dragon’s mate.

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.

Ojvun loves green-coloured gems:

The gemshard Pikshh shimmers like a dream

But Mercurial Subspecies had a gleam

And she could not decide who was supreme!

To make it worse, her culture condemns

Having several mates. Her grandpa mutamore

Decided he would help her and coerce

Her and Pikshh together. Things got worse.

Ojvun couldn't stand the fights, therefore

One day she left him and their egg and fled.

Pikshh had to raise their kid alone

And Ovjun told herself she should be there.

Guiltily she watched but didn't dare

To face her ex's disapproving stare.

She racked her brain for some way to atone.

Mercurial the firegem came by

And Ojvun in a panic told him all,

Certain that her misdeed would appall.

He didn't blame her for her moral fall

And left her with his hoard to sit and cry.

MS told Pikshh about poor Ojvun's state

and asked if there was something they could do.

They made a plan so that, as Bejelf grew

Ojvun could be sure her love came through

These days she now has MS for her mate.
