Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its belly is bright red and it is most active in the evening.

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.

Dyemia is utterly deaf, even mind-deaf. It was first noticed when she was told a story and paid no attention to it at all. Her lack of hearing also led to a lack of proper speech, so she makes strange sounds that nobody really understood. For this reason, the cave law declared that she had to be frozen, but nobody knew how to communicate with her to what had happened.
