Aww... It’s a cute baby drake. It has the colors of a bright summer day.

And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing.

Young drakes 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 marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own.

Loli Morningrise was born during a war between dragons who search for human masters, and dragons who live in a pack. Since his pack is dirt poor, his pack went into hiding. He and his brother Glory are the only two males in the pack. Both are still too weak and fragile to fight.
