When Water Dragons mature, they lose the ability to survive on land, entering the water permanently. They are adept swimmers and eat whatever fish are in the lake they live in. They tend to inhabit the same lake for their entire lives, although a few live in the ocean and swim all over the world.

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.

Aquino Matethief has four whiskers, a powerful tail, and great dorsal fins with broad spikes. It is no wonder a water dragon like this was able to charm the powerful, exotic Mystique Dynasty. He won her heart by paying attention, which is sometimes all it takes to win over a taken-for-granted housewife. However, Mystique Dynasty is no ordinary overworked dragon. She is Empress Dark Grizzle's primary assistant and a first class magic caster. In addition to forming a relationship based first in friendship, Aquino Matethief brought the amazing Mystique Dynasty little gifts each day, ranging from pearls to diamonds. A compliment came with every present. Finally, he didn't come one day to visit her. On that day, Mystique Dynasty came to him. She had been taken in by his affections and agreed to have his egg. He would be sure that it was just the first of many.
