Quote:What made you change your mind?

I meant giveing up trying to0 convince you. I still feel it would be impossible for them to fly without assistance. But I also feel it would be impossible to convince you.



Quote:I meant more in the motor skills department, I should have been more clear.Just as a baby calf has to learn to use its legs to walk and run, the Kelsingra dragons had to learn to fly, though having malformed bodies certainly made it much harder for them. A calf with stunted legs will still try to stand, however. Despite having vivid memories of being in flight, they must translate that flight instinct with their new bodies. They just didn't have the physical capacities to do it until they were fully grown and healthy.

I still disagree. Sintara has stated multiple times how she would move a musle to better catch an updraft. Also with most prey animals, while they still stumble. the young do know how to walk.
