Immortal = NOT mortal

Mort = Death

Immortal = WITHOUT death

Immortal = CANNOT die

Phoenix (and Phenex Clan) =/= Immortal

Dragons (Evil or not) =/= Immortal

If you can die, you are not immortal.

The race of Dragons are "masses of power/energy" that have obtained physical form, and are given consciousness by a single, pure desire or concept. That desire can be...


 * Dreams (Great Red)


 * Infinity (Ophis)


 * Power (Ddraig, Albion, others)


 * Battle & Carnage (most of the Evil Dragons)


 * Greed (Fafnir)

And what is one of the most basic laws of power/energy?

It is never created or destroyed. It is transfered.

What makes the Dragons able to come back from death is that their desires/concepts that they were created from keep their power/energy intact, but in a weaker state. Only by regaining enough power (whether by a ritual or other method) to return to their physical form.
