Light Subspecie: Seraphim

Seraphim are dragons of the Wind and Light, never needing to land or sleep as long as the sun shines upon their wings. As such, they are seldom seen, since they spend their entire life cycles up above the clouds where the sun is always shining, pursuing the sunset and racing ahead of the dawn.

They even lay their eggs up there; the larger dragons in the Flock carrying them upon their backs until they hatch and the little ones can unfurl their wings and leap out into the air. Seraphim, unlike most dragons, are always hatched completely flight-worthy.

The only time the Seraphim descend is when they need food or water. At such a time, they swoop down from their incredible heights and quickly snatch up whatever they need before soaring upwards again, gone as swiftly as they came. Many dragons who are land-bound or who never climb to the greater altitudes believe them to be a mere myth because of this.
