Re: Strange Magic In Flight
Apologies for the delay. Been sick all week.
The young dragon looks like any normal dragon. Possibly an expert on dragons, if such exists, could tell what species this one would grow up to become. Each dragon species has unique tail shapes, spinal plates, whiskers, horns, and even skull shapes, or so it is claimed. No one is quite sure if these are hereditary features, or something to do with environment and experience. It's probably a factor of all three. In any case, none of those features are particularly pronounced when they are young. Why this should be so, though, is unclear.
Except for the clipped wings and emaciated condition, this dragon does not look like it was mistreated in any way. If it was placed in the cage since it hatched, it may not have ever flown.
After some examination, it would appear as if this is not a metallic wyrmling, but a chromatic one.
