Sleeping Dragons
On average, only one in every thirty dragons would survive their first year alive. After that, only one in every fifty make it to their adolescence. After adolescence, only one in every five hundred make it to adulthood. For Dragons, Death was a common part of life. Although a Dragon could potentially live to see five centuries, most struggled to even see a decade. Their cousins, the Wyvern, only fared slightly better odds, but they only lived in the mountains of Eurasia, their two feet designed to perch atop the peaks. It was fifteen years ago when the last Himalayan Wyvern was seen, I saw him with my own eyes. But my tale for you isn’t about a Wyvern. My tale is of a Dragon, your other relative.
