She is only fifteen years old, having just entered the Drake stage, and succumbed to the courting of a young male dragon. The result? Rhea, a tiny female dracling who she has no idea how to take care of; she could only name her. She picks up the baby in her talons and flies to the adoption peak, drops the dracling in a grove, and takes off, knowing that the other dragons may attack her for betraying her own offspring. Terrified and grief-stricken, she flies off into the distance, never to be seen again by dragon eyes.
Rhea cries out softly and closes her eyes tight; the light hurts them. She is very different from her western dragon counterparts in that she is similar to a mammal in several ways; her eyes are the premature baby blue that fades to the real color later in life, and she has no scales, only delicate skin that will toughen with age. she is one foot long not including her tail, which is another foot. Her legs are long and somewhat stilty, with talons like tiny needles. her neck is long and serpentine. Her wings are batlike and curl around her in the same manner, but they are still limp like wet paper from birth.
Her skin is a shimmering turquoise, with golden beads the largest as big around as dimes, lining the tines of her wings, the bridge of her muzzle, and down her neck. Her claws and teeth are ivory, and the tip of her tail ends in a venemous scythe, the talon that delivers the poison hollow ivory as well. Two white nubs on her forehead announce the coming of horns in later years.
A crow passes overhead, the shadow falling on the dracling. Despite her small size, she hisses angrily and blinks with a second eyelid. She is an evil dracling and will only take an evil mother. Sighing in sudden fatigue, she curls up as the afternoon heat lulls her to sleep, ignoring the gnawing of hunger in her empty belly.
