So Hyperion turned Aris and Chrysanthos into drakes - what does that entail? In what way do drakes differ from thralls? Also: is Chrysanthos described anywhere?

They get immortality, the same element power as the dragon (so light), and also a psychic link to Hyperion, and about once per year Hyperion can issue a command that can't be refused, but he hates that last part and refuses to use it, as do the other dragons. Even Hákon has people he wants to share immortality with but not control. So it's a major source of drama/ a drawback to the immortality + powers.

I think Chrysanthos was briefly described when he first showed up in this story.
