Thing

1st draft for rewriting Clearsight and the BeetleWings :) Feedback and reposts are very VERY appreciated!

So basically Clearsight tries to lead the NightWings over the ocean instead of going on her own, so she can keep them safe with her visions and be able to see Darkstalker’s effects on her tribe forever so she’d never forget and bring him back. Since most of the NightWings just saw her as Darkstalker’s moon-eyed girlfriend, most refused and joined together to follow Queen Vigilance around the continent in the exact opposite direction. //

However, dragons like Listener, Clearsight’s parents, Whiteout and Thoughtful, and however many others followed Clearsight to Pantala. How many should we have? 100 feels just right and like too many at the same time. 50? Idk I’ll just use 100 for now //

To the BeetleWings for a second. The Legend of the Hive took place about a thousand years before, and the dragons that fled were about 60% LeafWings, like 25% was the small BeetleWing tribe (who maybe had a similar bad habitat situation like the NightWings?), and 15% random dragons of other tribes who tagged along. The BeetleWings and other dragons lived in one kingdom and the LeafWings had their own separate one due to their population sizes.

This kind of led to the BeetleWing tribe fusing with the other Pyrrhians and becoming very diverse appearance and ability-wise. This is why the HiveWings are so varied in abilities and able to be so different from the SilkWings in ways NightWing genetics prolly couldn’t cause. By the time Clearsight arrives, the tribes are equal in size.

Clearsight and the NightWings live in a small village east of current day Lake Scorpion in BeetleWing territory, and in exchange they share their visions with those they have them of. A new queen comes into power a decade or so later and promises to drive out these strangers and tries to chase them out, but brave BeetleWings that had seen how kind the NightWings are join their side and try to fight for their home. They are defeated, and the NightWings, along with about a tenth of the BeetleWings, flee to the empty mountains northwest of current day Beetle Lake. //

15-20 years later, that queen’s daughter takes over and rejoins the split tribe under her rule. They’re still on opposite sides of the continent though, so overtime the BeetleWings and NightWings in the Western BeetleWing Kingdom developed a population of mostly hybrids. Over the next 2000 years the Western and Eastern BeetleWing Kingdom’s populations became even in HiveWings, NightWings(before they got bred out of Pantalan existence), and hybrids, until the HiveWings split off 500 years before the series. The HiveWings are descendants of about 100 NightWings instead of just one, does that fix it?? //

Clearsight still has about 17 kids or more, because she can see in her visions all her possible partners and dragonets. She can’t just give up all the rest for one partner and one set of dragonets, so she’s in a poly relationship with as many of those partners as possible. Can anyone who’s actually knowledgeable enough to write about this tell me how many partners she could realistically have? I know I want her to be with Listener and Sunstreak.
