Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It is a deep shade of crimson.

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.

Flaemmchen might be small and weak but she knows something, something most dragons of Herk's clan know to a certain degree, but she Understands with a capital U. Like the flames—each of them small in their own right, each of them different—dragons might not be all that powerful on their own, but if they work together, there's nothing able to stop them.

Flaemmchen relishes the knowledge that she is part of something bigger than herself, which still allows her to keep her individuality.
