I don't like the fact that Tsunami and Glory are princesses by blood. When I started reading this series of books, I thought that they were all not of royal blood. It was surprising to me that Tsunami dreamed of being a princess, and this, surprise, turned out to be true. Why did Webs even take such a big risk by stealing the royal egg (like Hvitur. He stole the egg from the palace, sort of.). That is, do the books seriously want to tell me that among millions of dragons, ONLY DoD were born on the brightest night? Was it necessary to take eggs from such dangerous places? Why didn't Talons of peace just...conceive eggs at the right time? I'm sure that among the 50 dragons there will be two skywings that can mate at the right time.
#glory was an easy pick tbf#tsunami is the real main issue here#dune had an egg nearby#clay wasnt difficult#starflight was brought from morrowseer#tsunami didnt have to be stolen from the royal hatchery#there was probably deep blue eggs everywhere#however the deepest of blue hes seen was probably tsunami's egg#he likely stole it for the same reason six claws ditched his army or dune broke thorn's trust#they wanted the war to end#reminder that everyone is hanging into the belief of a prophecy at this point#this is despite everyone being aware that the nightwings arent what they used to be and likely knowing the prophecy could be false#they just want to cling onto hope so badly at this rate because everything has been incredibly terrible enough#webs probably fully believed in the prophecy and didnt think there was no “if ands and buts”#if tsunami was the deepest blue it had to be tsunami even if there could be a better option thats just a tad bit lighter#now how hvitur went about it is weird though#this is the mountain most high right?#wouldnt it be convenient that the hatchery is the highest place#the palace probably is as well#scarlet was at least aware enough that the eggs were takable for her to destroy them rather than trust her guard#so it must not be AS guarded#idk why i didnt write this outside of tags#i forgot to add#eggs have a specific schedule to hatch#they probably wouldnt be able to concieve one that lands on the correct date by the time they heard of the prophecy#i dont know how long gestation or the other processes are but it seems long enough to be trackable like most#they likely had to make sure it fits the description tok#i dont think a lot of traumatized ex soldiers may be in the mood to breed farm whatever its called like that if theres another option
