——Humans often say that dragons have long lifespans, almost immortal, even eternal life.
It's not surprising to have such an impression, for dragons truly do have lifespans far longer than those of ordinary humans; a True Dragon's reign over a territory could span more than a dozen generations of people.
But what follows is actually an illusion.
Everything that lives must die, everything that exists must pass. Mountains will topple, oceans will dry up; even stars have an end, turning into a dying black star.
What about dragons, then?
Compared to those lesser beings on the planet, the lifespan of Quenched Steel Dragon Solstina can indeed be considered prolonged, but without special means to prolong life, It will experience a complete lifecycle within five hundred years—from birth to decline.
No more, no less.
