Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It enjoys sunning itself in the morning light.

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.

Day'ni had just grown his wings which meant he could attend any Gathering of Sunrise Dragons and he was very excited! His first meeting he went to was very somber. The Sunrise Dragons were going to lose their luminosity and magic unless a new Holder of Sunrise was found. A Holder of Sunrise is a Sunrise hatchling that volunteers to remain forever a hatchling and this small vessel would hold and keep the Sunrise Magic until it died. Day'ni volunteered and was frozen that same day and he has never regretted it.
