Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It doesn’t move much, and appears to be covered in stone.

And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing. However, the wings look too heavy to fly and are filled with beautiful crystal.

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.

Found alone in a small damp cave, little gemstone was abandoned at birth because a human picked her up when she hatched. when her mother came back from her hunting trip, she left her baby because it smelled like human. her owner cast a spell on her that allows her to be a child forever, becuase she thought she was cuter as a baby.
