Failed attempts to experiment with magic often result in transforming dragons into these hellish creatures. They are extremely dangerous, and will mindlessly kill any living creature without regard to friend or foe.

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.

She never had a liking for All Hallows' Eve.

The candy hurt her teeth, the festival was too crowded, and the stories were either boring or concerning. Vampires were soo last century, who cared if they wandered around.

Now, zombies on the other hand were a little scary. Terrifying even. She heard tales of how owners raised up dragons with affection and then killed them in cold blood, raising them to life as shambling monsters.

She really, really hated Halloween.

So of course she ditched the whole festival and went flying by herself. It had always been relaxing.

But then there was a flash of light and a bright stinging pain in her chest and she fell, fell, fell to the ground. The impact was enough to kill her.

Later, when something jerked her awake and she thought it all a dream, her body aching strangely and pain in her head, she promised herself to be careful when alone.

Who knows what could happen to a dragon out there. Someone might change her to a zombie, ha ha ha!
