Baby Dragons

Baby dragons are born with small wings that grow as they do. In early adolescence the wings grow to full size and the muscles need to be exercised and strengthened before they can learn to fly. By fifteen cycles most dragons can fly, feed themselves and generally live independent of their parents. But they are not fully mature. Sexual maturity comes between twenty and thirty cycles and mental and emotional maturity around or after fifty cycles. Dragons mature in fits and starts, following a pattern but not a definitive schedule. Determining the maturity of an individual is significant and as you read the stories, you will discover why.
