Black Dragons are warriors. They are strong and capable in battles of force, but also ample magic users, capable of devastating opponents with their spells. Their bright eyes give them excellent night vision, which is why they generally hunt during the night.

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.

Hold Your Breath and Count to 10, better know to the other adopted dragons as, Hold 10 or Hold, came to BellChimes's cave, not as an orphan, but as a gift from another scroll holder. He was already well on his way to adult hood, and had his wings. He was very quite and reserved, sad from being separated from his parents. He wouldn't say much to anyone. Hold warmed up to Something D Minor though, another hatchling around the same age, and could often be seen with her. When Something D Minor reached maturity and made her decision to stay at the cave and teach the new hatchlings to fly; Hold, loathing to be separated from his friend now as well, stayed behind too. He now guards all the young inside BellChimes's from any threats to their safety.
