#the one she named sunny the sandwing after

Ok I know this blog isn’t super active- but I got this random memory of Sunshine the other day. In the hypothetical redux… she doesn’t stay a wild dog right?? Or she gets a breed change perhaps?
I have dogs a similar breed to her and they need (NEED) to be brushed at least weekly. At least and that’s pushing it. And the idea of a dog similar to them being out just… living as a wild dog bothers me a tad. Her coat! The matting I couldn’t imagine.
I was pleasantly surprised to find this in my inbox! Don't be afraid to send in asks, I mostly don't know what the end-state of arc one should be so it can pick up from arc two and that's the paralyzing factor.
As for Sunshine, you are absolutely correct about her coat. It's even weirdly highlighted in this passage from Book Five The Endless Lake:
Tumblr media
I couldn't find much of a long-term narrative use for her, so she'll probably be shipped off the plot somehow during the Homeward-Bound-esque first leg of the story. She'll have her utility in that she's the only dog who can understand TV and she likes being helpful to the others like in Survivors Proper, but her narrative usefulness quickly drops as soon as the pets integrate with the Wolfdog's pack.
So here's the options I got for how to deal with her. Content warning for backstabbing and suicide below the cut, reader discretion is advised. If you're unable to read further, know one of the options for her is one where she ends up happy and healthy.
Leaning into the more adult side of YA, dogs believe that they should serve the purpose humanity bred them to fulfill. Sunshine, being bred to sit and look pretty, is much more of a load on the party, unable to hunt or scavenge well. Her one utility might bring them out of a scrape or two, but as her fur grows longer and gets dirty and matted, she runs the risk of getting infections in her skin and succumbing to a slow death.
If we want to give some of our protagonists some unsavory qualities, they can discuss (potentially with Sunshine present) that she's a burden on the party and needs to be gotten rid of for the survival everyone else, though other dogs can argue on her side that she's their friend and they can't just let her die.
Here are her options:
One of the dogs arguing against her kills her on the spot. Or kills her some other time. Could even just be an attempt on her life that the other dogs thwart, and now they have to deal with wounds inflicted from infighting that could get infected.
Sunshine's special item is the leash her old lady gave her walks on. If you know that one discussion at the beginning of Isle of Dogs... She still has her collar on...
Alternatively, if they last long enough to get out of the evacuation zone, Sunshine could be left with a lonely human who desires animal companionship. The human cleans her up, trims her up, and makes her feel personally fulfilled being a sweet little lap dog.
If anyone has alternative options for her narrative path, I'd love to hear it. I'd even like to hear others' thoughts on these options. Whatever fits best.

Drawing Random WoF Characters - Sunny
Tumblr media
Spoilers for arcs 1 & 2!
Sunny is an unusually small and golden nightwing/sandwing hybrid with a bubbly and optimistic personality. She is often the glue of the DoD, keeping everyone together when nobody else can agree. She is the daughter of Queen Thorn of the Sandwings and Stonemover, the nightwing animus trapped within Jade Mountain. She is a descendant of Without and Thoughtful. Sunny is the protagonist of book 5, The Brightest Night. After helping stop the War of Sandwing Succession, she went on to become one of the Founders of Jade Mountain Academy, where she currently resides.
Some fun facts: Thorn originally planned to name Sunny 'Beetle,' and continued to call her this in her head until meeting Sunny. Sunny was named after Tui's dig, Sunshine, and Tui considers sunny too be the most like her.
This drawing is from september of '23. it was pretty fun, although i wish i had taken more risks with her design. I do like the pose I chose though, I think it shows off her playful energy well. As always, process videos of these drawings are on my tiktok! it's also a bit ahead there too.

⭕️❗️CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT HOW A BOOK SERIES FOR NINE YEAR OLDS LITERALLY STARTS WITH GRAPHIC DEPICTIONS OF VIOLENCE AND DOES NOT GET BETTER??????
((General warning for graphic depictions of violence, lots of caps lock, and some swearing sprinkled in for fun for the rest of this post, also I don’t hate WoF, I love WoF, but I also think it’s batshit insane and needs to be addressed (in a pretty unserious way)))
Tumblr media
The fucking prologue.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
HELLO??? AM I CRAZY FOR THINKING THIS IS A BIT MUCH FOR THE PROLOGUE OF A CHILDREN’S BOOK???
This shot was the gateway drug for us istg. This fucking book series got is so hooked on fictional violence man 😭
We were drawing detailed dragon gore as fanart, looking at detailed gore that other people had drawn as fanart?
Tumblr media
Seriously am I crazy????? This is the second main character killing her father to prove a point?????????
Tumblr media
This is what we get for an explanation for where the first main character came from? His backstory is literally that his mom sold him for some cows??????????????????? WTF
Also just mudwing society in general is. It seems. Pretty weird. Like really weird.
“As the [human] shrieked again, she bent down and bit off its head.
“Blech,” she said, spitting it out again immediately. The head bounced across the grass as the body slowly toppled over, blood pouring out of it’s neck.”
UM?? OKAY!!
“She scored her talons along his wing, ripping open the scars”
“She shook Dune lightly, as if she were shaking the fluff off a dead pigeon. He clawed at her talons, his eyes bulging. “I mean, what use is a crippled dragon who cannot fly? I’m surprised you haven’t killed yourself already, SandWing. But I can take care of that for you.”
DAMN????
“No!” Sunny screamed, leaping at them.
But it was too late. With a chilling crack, Queen Scarlet snapped Dune’s neck and dropped his body on the stone floor.
“Dune!” Sunny howled. She squirmed past Scarlet and crouched beside him, shaking him with her front talons. His mangled wing flopped, his scales scraped against the rocks. His black eyes were empty. “Dune, wake up!””
HOLY SHIT???? WHY WAS THIS NECESSARY FOR A CHILDRENS BOOK
WHAT THE FUCK
AND THIS IS JUST SOME OF THE FIRST BOOK, DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON LEGENDS OF DARKSTALKER MAN THAT SHIT WAS CRAZY
THIS IS BEING SOLD FOR NINE YEAR OLDS
THIS COULD VERY WELL BE A CHILD’S FIRST INTRODUCTION TO DEATH
WHAT WAS TUI THINKING???????????
LIKE ACTUALLY WHAT????
Honestly it is so unsurprising we turned out the way we did when this is what we were reading as a kid 😭
Literally our primary caretaker is named after Scarlet. The same scarlet in those quotes earlier. Like this shit is so in our brain and has been since we were twelve.
This shit. Is. Crazy.
And then every time I try to point out flaws In the writing or the plot ppl tell me “oh it’s not that deep it’s just a children’s book it’s not a big deal” LIKE. FUCKING. HELL IT IS.
ABSOLUTELY NOT. NO FUCKING WAY.
I am completely convinced that if we had never read these books our gorey pseudo memories would not be HALF as detailed and disturbingly accurate as they are now. Like seriously we did so well in anatomy classes because of this. Maybe that’s mostly the autism but i we never would have been so interested in anatomy if we weren’t trying to figure out how to draw anatomically accurate dragon disembowelment because of these damn books 😭
Anyways all this said I still fucking love wings of fire and I’m thinking of bringing back that thing where I draw cute cartoony dragons dying horribly :3
If anyone has horror stories about growing up reading wings of fire I want to hear them
WAIT ONE LAST THING- I forgot to mention the icewing massacre, attempted genocide, and general dragon racism….. hmmmm a topic for another time perhaps

Sunrise/Beetle Profile
Tribe - Sandwing
Winglet - Pearl
Colour - Sunrise gold
Relatives - Thorn (adoptive mother) None on site
Clawmates - Fragaria (Rainwing)
Favourite subject - Science 
Least fav. subject - Art and Cultural Exchange (she likes these subjects. They’re her least favourite because Sunny teaches them)
Physical characteristics - hazel eyes, small jagged scar vertically across the snout, small size, slim frame
Other characteristics/personality - socially domineering, loves having the spotlight, grows agitated whenever anyone shows support for Queen Thorn (except for Qibli) (when asked, she showed no support for any of the other queens), has shown aggression towards Sunny (separate them as much as possible), Dragonbite Viper trainer/hunter/breeder/venom expert (basically if you need ANYTHING that's related to Dragonbite Vipers, she’s the dragon you go to), keeps two very polite venomless Dragonbite Vipers as pets (named Enigma and Ruby) (they are to be kept in their room at all times so to not scare other students), does not allow any dragons with authority to call her Beetle and reacts aggressively if they do (she seems to prefer students call her Beetle over Sunrise), loves gems and other shiny objects, has a big crush on Starflight, always defends her friends whenever they’re bullied (she immediately uses violence), responds well to praise. For as long as she can remember, Sunrise's happiness has always depended on being with others. Whether it is with Thorn or her winglet, she feels like nothing and miserable whenever she is alone. she desperately seeks social interactions, she'll even talk to her snakes and inanimate objects to not feel alone, she puts on a persona of a confident, glamorous, socially dominant, gets what she wants, type of attitude because that's what she saw Thorn doing in public
Backstory/Extra - Sunrise was taken in by the Outlaws since her parents died before she was born. Even though all the members took care of her, the one who took care of her the most was Thorn (this is also why she considers Qibli her brother because they were raised together). Sunrise loved Thorn more than anything in the world and considered her her mother. They had such a close bond that Thorn had accidentally called her Beetle sometimes (which is where she got the nickname from). The reason why she started learning about Dragonbite Vipers is because Thorn talked to her about how their population is rising exponentially and causing a lot of trouble for the dragons and she was trying to impress her. After the war ended, Thorn started talking to her less and less and started making excuses whenever Sunrise tried to talk to her. At first, Sunrise assumed it was because Thorn had a bunch of royal duties she had to attend to. However, then she learned about Sunny and saw how Thorn would always make time for Sunny but not her. The most recent event of this was around the time Jade Acadamy first started. Sunrise had gone to Thorn and told her that it was time for “Dragonbite Viper Roundup” (which is essentially hunting season turned game that Sunrise, Thorn, Qibli and a couple of other Outlaws would play. The objective was that whoever killed the most would win) and that there's a lot of them because they didn't do it last year and that it would only take around 4-6 hours. Thorn declined saying that her schedule for the day was filled. As Sunrise was leaving, Sunny came into the room and asked Thorn for help coming up with lesson plans and that it would only take around 4-6 hours. Sunrise felt a rush of emotions as Thorn agreed to help Sunny along with saying that she had the entire day open to help her. It was at this moment that she realised why Thorn wasn’t talking to her; It wasn’t because she was busy being queen; it was because she was replaced by Sunny and Thorn didn't care for her anymore (although she also realised that a way, she was the replacement and a substitute until Thorn found her “real” daughter) This led to Sunrise developing attachment and abandonment issues and a need to constantly try to prove her worth to her Winglet (the only friends she’s ever had) and to other dragons she respects so that they don't abandon her as Thorn did.

South Park x Wings of Fire
This au takes place around ten years after the events of the third arc. (5,022 AS) It's the same dragon characters as in the book but I stuffed South park characters in it lol.
Why did I make this? Easy. Two fandoms I'm really into. :) Same thing happened when I made Sp x Dsmp.
I have no big story planned out for this au.. Right now it's really one of those school slice of life things… 
Also ignore the fact they don't have proper dragon names. I can’t think of any good ones..
Turquoise Winglet      Peridot Winglet        Gold Winglet
MudWing: Cartman          IceWing: Craig                  NightWing: Wendy
SandWing: Kenny             MudWing: Clyde                RainWing: Bebe
RainWing: Butters           NightWing: Tolkien         SandWing: Karen   
SilkWing: Kyle                   SandWing: Tweek            SkyWing: Red
NightWing: Stan              SkyWing: Jimmy               SeaWing: Nicole 
HiveWing: Ike                   SeaWing: Scott                  IceWing: Trisha
The Turquoise Winglet
Eric Cartman, Mudwing-SkyWing hybrid, Hatched: 5,015 AS (7 years old)
Although he looks like a normal MudWing there are little characteristics to his design that make him part SkyWing. He has one blue eye, he can breathe fire at any temperature and his wings end at his tail instead of his thighs like all MudWings. 
He would personally RIP OFF all your scales if you call him a Hybrid.
Eric only has one sib and that is his SkyWing half brother Scott.
Why doesn’t he have any other MudWing sibs? My only excuse for that is.. Liane had trouble when it came to having eggs and she got lucky with a random SkyWing she met near the Diamond spray delta.
Eric has scars all over his body from several fights with his FlameSilk classmate Kyle. The first one he got was when he was a little dragonet he hatched in a reddish egg (because of being half SkyWing) and Liane wanted to test if he could have fire-resistant scales. The answer to that was no and she gave him a pretty bad scorch mark on his right shoulder. (she deeply regrets doing that.)
Kenny McCormick, SandWing, Hatched: 5,014 AS (8 years old)
(In this au Jerboa III unsuccessfully got animus magic to disappear.)
Kenny’s egg was part of an experiment (most likely from Vulture’s dragons) to see if there is a way for animus-touched dragons to come back from death. Many eggs/dragonets were used for this test and all of them died except for kenny. Although.. He is still one of their failures. He can't die and come back but he still can get very bad injuries and not die from them. 
Before Kenny and his little sister went to jade mountain they lived in the scorpion den. (poor of course) Jade mountain was the only school that did not ask for any sort of money. And their parents did not want to homeschool any more dragonets.
Kenny often tries to keep Brightsting cactus on him or wrap up his tail so he can keep himself from getting poisoned because part of his curse made him a bit prone to accidents.
Butters Stoch, RainWing, Hatched: 5,015 AS (7 years old)
Butters is a typical happy RainWing; it's as if nothing can make him angry. Although.. he could've been even more happy if he grew up in the rainforest.
Before school butters grew up in santerary his parents thought it would have been better if their dragonet didn't live in the rainforest. Because they didn't trust Queen Glory for whatever reason.
One day something clicked in his mind and he took his anger out on a SeaWing student that is when his parents revealed to Tsunami and Sunny that he didn't grow up in the rainforest and now is the time he probably should experience the rainforest himself. 
Kenny tagged along with butters on his trip and the RainWings greeted him with open talons. He didn't stay however even though it is everything he could have wished for he didn't want his friends (especially kenny) to be sad for leaving school.
Kyle Broflovski, SilkWing, Hatched: 5,015 AS (7 years old)
Kyle and his family are one of a few families of Pantala dragons that decided to stay in Pyrrhia. His parents told him that he could go to jade mountain accatony after he got his wings but he convinced them to let him go before he got them.
Upon arriving at jade mountain he almost immediately made friends and… enemies with his winglet. A silly MudWing hybrid would always make fun of him for being wingless and for just being a SilkWing. Eric is always telling him that SilkWings should still be Second Class dragons for the HiveWings. He sure did pay for his comments when Kyle got his wings.
When jade mountain got its first SilkWings Sunny made a safe cave just for them so they can undergo metamorphosis. The day Kyle was meant to go into metamorphosis he noticed that his wrists were burning a little. This made him pretty excited because that meant he inherited his mom’s Flamesilk. It.. also meant he can give Cartman what he deserves. And to give his NightWing Friend Stan glowing Friendship bracelets. 
Stan Marsh, NightWing, Hatched: 5,015 AS (7 years old)
Stan and Shelly were hatched and raised in the old NightWing kingdom.
They were both hatched under similar moons giving them both powers. Shelly got strong mind-reading while Stan got pretty weak foresight, which means visions would pop up in his mind at random times and they would sometimes go from what he was going to eat for dinner to a big threat that could kill him and his friends.
Stan was introduced to jade mountain academy when semi-queen Fierceteeth gave his class fliers because “her brother made her.” and this school sounded a whole lot more fun than the old NightWing school to him. Shelly didn't go because she thought only dumb dragons go there and the NightWing school teaches more smarter subjects.
It took him awhile to warm up to his winglet when he got to school but his SilkWing and SandWing definitely helped him. He may have feelings for the SilkWing. MAYBE.
Ike Broflovski, HiveWing, Hatched: 5,019 AS (3 years old)
Around 5,015 AS a few HiveWing families thought about living in Pyrrhia. their families grew there but, out of all the new families of HiveWings some of them couldn't keep their eggs so they put them up for adoption that's when Kyle’s parents adopted Ike.
Ike and Kyle went to school at the same time and they got put into a winglet together because their parents thought it would be easier for Ike to be with his big brother. Ike doesn't really get into all the adventures and conflicts as the rest of his winglet does; he likes to go at his own pace wrapped up in his own hobbies.

Here you go sillies! More WOF fanfic because I forgor to post some recently!
New day, New Life
Classes started today. Each student got a schedule that was written on a yellowish piece of paper. Star found that she had Biology first. The teacher was a Leafwing that had stayed in Prryiah. 
“Good morning, I am your Biology teacher. Call me Mrs.S if you must. Today we’re starting with photosynthesis basics.” The Leafwing said. 
The classroom was wide and made of complete stone. There were several windows allowing golden rays to pass through into the classroom. Vines hung down from the ceiling, nearly touching the desks. Star could reach up and grasp one of the delicate white and pink flowers. She decided not too, because this teacher sounded like she would get mad if she did. Now normally Star would like Biology. But this teacher made it less fun. She would always yell at other students, she always sounded mad, and never helped any other students.
Next, Star had math. Only basic math so far because many dragons who were poor didn’t know very much about math yet. Although, they played a lot of ice-breaker games instead of math. The teacher was a Sandwing that was very kind. She said her name was Sunny. She was a weird golden color compared to the normal dusty yellow or tan-ish white. Her whole demeanor was just so happy and kind. She was like a little beam of sunshine that escaped from the sun, and was down here instead. There was one dragon in particular though, that kept interrupting her. It was Vermillion. He kept pointing out what was wrong with her appearance.
“Why are you so shiny?” “Why don’t you have a tail barb? Why are your eyes green?”
Eventually, the teacher decided that everyone would benefit from a hunting break outside, thus leaving us outside, where some…unconventional things could happen. Star had caught a mountain lion, and was sitting on a ledge, eating it.
“Hey hybrid!” It was Vermillion’s annoying voice. Star groaned and looked up.
“What?” Star grumbled, staring at his stupid face.
“I can’t come sit with my very best fwend?” Vermillion said, teasingly. 
“Sure, after you stop being the most annoying Skywing in history.” Star said, going back to her food.
“Awwwww, thanks.” Vermillion said, plopping in front of Star. Star groaned. “So, what’s with the little earring you wear? Are you trying to look dumb?”
“At least I look better than you do.” Star said, feeling her earring.
“Yeah, right. Anyway, why do you have it?” Vermillion siad, poking a claw at her.
“Reasons.” She said, flicking the little thing back and forth.
“Oh, sOoOo convincing. What’s the rea; reason? Hybrid?” Vermillion persisted.
“You don’t need to know.” Star said.
“Tell me, or I will personally hurt you.” Vermillion said, trying to be threatening.
“Try,” Star said, brandishing her poisonous barb. 
“Oh I’ll-”
“Go away, Vermillion.” Said Blizzard’s familiar voice.
“Ugh, not you again.” Vermillion siad..
“Go away,” Blizzard repeated.
“Fine.” Vermillion said, sighing and flying off.
“Hey.” Blizzard said, smiling at Star.
“Hi.” Star said, feeling her face get warm with blush.
“I know this is a little bit of a  weird ask but could we share that mountain lion? I haven’t been able to catch anything here.” Blizzard said, 
“Yeah of course!” Star responded. Blizzard floated down and sat next to her, and they shared the lion happily. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The rest of Star’s day wasn’t very interesting. She had English, science, Art, Creative Writing, and then a rest period before lights out. Star was sitting and sketching on her ledge, minding her business, when of course, Vermillion had to come in.
“Oh hey, hybrid.” Vermillion's voice said. But it was…more unhappy than usual. Star tried to ignore him, and continued sketching Blizzard. (again) Vermillion climbed up to his bed and proceeded to sigh dramatically every few minutes. Finally, after realizing that it doesn;t work on literally anyone, he spoke up. “Do you know why I hate you, hybrid?”
“Don’t care.” Star said.
“Because,” Vermillion continued. “YOU got me in trouble today, and I have a 5 hour detention tomorrow.” 
“Good for you.” Star said, sarcastically. 
“You don;t care at all about me do you?” Vermillion said, obviously trying to get Star to be sorry.
“Nope.” Star said, finishing her sketch.
“Ugh, you’re so mean!” Vermillion said, flopping down on his bed again. 
“I’m so sure,” Star responded, slamming her sketchbook shut. 
“Hey guys,” Blizzard said, entering the room. She had little splatters of paint on her talons, decorating her claws with colors.
“Oh, hi Blizzard.” Star said, smiling. Blizzard climbed onto her ledge and smiled back. 
“So what are your guys' schedules?” Blizzard asked.
“Biology, Math, English, Science, Art, and Creative writing.” Star said, counting the classes on her talons.
“I’ve got Biology, Math, Science, English, Art, and then competitive flying.” Vermillion said.
“I have English, Math, Art, Science, and sculpting.” Blizzard said.
“Cool. To be honest, I don’t really like Ms. S. She’s mean.” Star chimed in.
“Yeah. She never helps anyone with assignments or anything. Or at least from what I saw today. She gave us so much homework. Speaking of which I should do.” Blizzard said, reaching into her bag and pulling out some papers. Star did the same, and got out her favorite pencil. It was purple with little stars painted on it. The homework was mostly about how plants make sugars for food and stuff and was relatively easy for Star. She couldn’t say the same for Vermillion though. He was chewing his pencil and staring at the page, clearly confused.Just then, Ant walked in, panting. Star looked up at him.
“Hey. You good? You’re panting.” Star said.
“Th-There’s a f-fight. You gotta come see it.” Ant gasped in between breaths. Star and Blizzard looked at each other, and nodded. They both hopped down from their ledges and followed Ant to the prey center. An orange Skywing and a teal Seawing were wrestling on the ground, throwing punches and clawing at each other. The Skywing had a fresh scar across his snout, and the Seawing had one on his underbelly. They were yelling at each other, insults and all. Several other dragons were chanting, ‘Fight! Fight! Fight!’ and pumping their fists. No teachers were here yet, but Star assumed there would be soon. 
“You’re just a wetnose! You can’t even breathe fire!” The Skywing shouted, throwing the Seawing off him and getting up.
“Well you’re just a stupid pebble brain! You couldn't even answer one problem in Math class!” The Seawing returned, pointing his claw at the Skywing. The Skywing blasted fire at the Seawing in response, but he ducked and rolled just in time. The crowd behind him backed up and woahed. The Seawing ran around the Skywing in wapped him with his powerful tail. It was enough to bring the Skywing down. The crowd cheered at every strike they made at each other, encouraging the two dragons' rage. Star watched but didn’t say anything. Other dragon’s minds were roaring with thoughts. ‘I hope the Seawing wins!’ ‘Go Silo!’ ‘Beat his A$$!’  Star tried to quiet them, but their thoughts were too loud. The raindrop trick only muffled them a bit.  The Skywing sent another blast of fire and got the Seawing’s leg this time. He howled in pain and toppled over. A person in the crowd shrieked and ran into view. It was a dark blue Seawing and she had several necklaces adorning her neck. She crouched down next to the Seawing and helped him up. 
“Are you okay? Can you hear me? Wave? Wave!” The other Seawing said, growing more and more panicked. Wave didn’t respond, and only groaned in pain. Just then the Math teacher, Sunny burst through the doors and ran up to Wave.
“What happened?!” She asked, also sounding panicked. 
“He got in a fight with Silo, the Skywing over there. He’s burned! He needs to get to the nurses office!” The dark blue Seawing explained. Sunny took Wave’s other arm and they carried him out of the room. A few minutes later, another dark blue Seawing entered the room. That was the Vice principal, Tsunami. She did not look happy. Silo the Skywing was laughing with his friends about kicking the Wave’s A$$ when Tsunami placed her talon on his shoulder.
“Excuse me, are you Silo?” Tsunami asked, sounding cold.
“Heh, yeah….” He trailed off when he saw Tsunami’s disapproving face.
“Then you should know what happens next.” Tsunami said, grabbing his ear and leading him into the hallway. All the dragons in there were silent as they heard Silo’s yelling in pain from Tsunami’s tight grip. Their heads were silent. Everyone was silent. They all glanced at each other for a moment before slowly and awkwardly returning to what they were doing before. Star and Blizzard looked at each other and Blizzard started laughing. Star started laughing too, replaying Silo’s distressed expression when he saw Tsunami. They both walked over to the little river that gurgled next to the wall. Star and Blizzard laid in front of the little river, and Star dipped her tail in the cool water. The two of them laughed about many things for the rest of the rest period. Eventually they went off to bed and dreamed of what adventures could come next in their new lives.

A Break at Home - Deathbringer x (F) Hybrid Reader
This is on Wattpad, I wrote this I did not copy
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Deathbringer x (F) Hybrid Reader (Rainwing sandwing hybrid)
Characters: Ark 1 and 2 characters (the character's from the quartz winglet, they are only named and never described in the books the picture above is someone's headcanon, the character will be replacing the rainwing Siamang)
Description: a hybrid character becomes friends with the dragonets of destiny and goes to jade mountain academy, she comes home to the rainforest during a break and meets a very charming dragon)
Warnings: None just pure fluff
Words: 4k ish
(the dragons mentioned in the winglets im just going off an image of reimagined versions of them since they have absolutely no info on them so they are just what I imagine they are like)
Check the picture for color guide for rainwings and for the imagined drawings of the winglet
Ever since I had hatched, everyone knew I was different. I didn't look normal, I mean I looked like a rainwing, but instead of a normal tail I had a barb on the end, and instead of a bareback, I had a sail running down it. All of the other rainwings said I was unusually warm too. The thing is, I still had camouflage scales and venom (though not as useful as a typical rainwings venom), but I wasn’t treated like the others.
Once I was around 4 I realized that I was different. Everyone around me didn't really pay attention to me, they would overlook me. Then the dragonets came. For some reason, I was the only one in the village who read. I tended to venture farther out of the rainforest than I should have but learned so much. When they came I was so happy, I wanted to ask them so many questions.
Flashback:
I ran up to the new dragons.
“Oh, my three moons!! I can't believe you guys are here!!” I stopped and bobbed my head a little, the bag that goes around my neck and under my right arm bounced slightly. The rainwing looked at me funny.
“Are you really the dragonets of destiny? What is the war like? Were you really raised by the talons of peace?!” they all looked really confused and surprised. 
“Sorry… I didn't mean to… umm... Im just a really big fan..” I spoke quietly hanging my head down slightly. I noticed the Nightwing looking at me curiously.
“If you're wondering why I look weird, I don't know, nobody here does.” I picked my head up slightly, and pulled my tail to my legs.
“You must be a hybrid..” the Nightwing pointed at my tail, “you have a barb on the end of your tail like sandwings do, as well as a sail” he pointed to my sail, and my scales rippled into pink, light gray, neutral blue, and light teal.
“Don't worry about being different, im funny looking too!!” the sandwing came up to me, she did look a little funny, at least compared to the sandwing diagrams I had. Why didn't I notice my own tail… I probably would have figured it out on my own.
"If you're a sandwing then why don't you have the tail barb?" I asked the tiny sandwing. She looked a little taken aback.
She smiled slightly "I don't know and I don't care, as long as I am me that's all that matters!" She chirped, and I smiled.
“Wait how do you know who we are?” the mudwing asked.
“Oh umm…” “D/N here is a little special… Y’know how none of us read or have any scrolls here? Well, she's the only one that does.” jambu interjected sleepily.
I sheepishly smiled and turned a salmon color. “You have scrolls?!” the Nightwing lit up and jumped in front of me, “Yeah!! You want to see?!” I jumped up, turning a bright gold color.
“Three moons yes!!” 
I smiled recalling the memory. I was around the same age as all of the dragonets and was really good friends with all of them. It was really strange when the nightwings came to live in the rainforest but I didn't really mind. When they opened jade mountain academy after the war I was invited to go and stay there. That's actually where I am right now.
3rd person:
D/N was currently snuggled in a corner of the library reading scrolls when sunny came in and looked around until she spotted D/N. 
She walked up to her “D/N I have a scroll for you.” the hybrid looked up from the scroll “I think I have plenty for now” sunny extended her claw out “It’s from glory.” she said, the hybrid perked up at this.
“Thank you sunny” she took the scroll from sunny’s talon. She opened the scroll and read its contents: Dear D/N  was scrawled in beautiful talonship. Im writing this weird scroll thingy to you to ask if you would want to come back to the rainforest for the next two weeks. I know you have the days off at the academy and I would like to see you so… plus It's been a while since we have seen each other. I have some things planned if you do decide to come. Don't feel pressured to come, I understand if you can't make it. Can't wait to see you if you are.
Queen Glory (can't believe I have to write that now)
D/N pov:
Heck yes!!! I jumped up and ran out of the library quickly saying goodbye to starflight. I ran down towards my cave, bursting into it. Scaring my 2 cave mates. I was in the quartz winglet, siamang the previous rainwing of the quartz winglet decided that they didn't want to attend jade mountain anymore, and in turn, I was allowed to go.
I shared a cave with ebony the Nightwing of our winglet and coyote the sandwing of our winglet. Ebony jumped from her scrolls, while coyote merely lifted his head from his bedding with his tail up and ready.
“What's going on?!” ebony asked I started grabbing some of my stuff and putting in my pouches.
“Sorry I scared you guys, just really excited,” I explained briefly not lifting my head.
“Excited for what?” this time it was Coyote asking the question, “im going home for the next two weeks since we have off.” coyote nodded and layed his head back down as I continued packing.
“Okay well I hope you have fun!” ebony said, I grabbed the last item and started hooking each of my 3 pouches around my body. One around my neck and arm, one around my tail, and the final one around my wing bases so it resides on my back. I hugged ebony goodbye, and pat coyote on the head since he doesn't like showing affection to other dragons. They both said goodbye and I headed out of the cave. I stopped by Tsunami before I left.
“Hey D/N, do you need something?” she asked looking over at me from where she was sitting in her cave.
“Did glory tell you I was going back home for our days off?” I tilted my head slightly, my scales rippled into light blues and bits of gold around my fringe and my ears, “yeah she did! So you can go if you want.”
I smiled brightly, “okay thanks tsunami!” I bolted out of the cave and ran towards the entrance. As soon as I was clear of the ceiling I spread my wings and jumped.
The next day:
I had finally arrived at the rainforest, when I left yesterday I didn't stop, not even last night. Sure I was tired but I wanted to get here as soon as I could. Plus I can always recharge during sun time. I glided through the trees, pulling my wings in slightly. Every couple of trees I would grab a branch and swing, giving myself more momentum. I headed towards the queen’s makeshift throne room hut.
When it got into view, there wasnt much of a line, a few dragons at most. By the time I reached the platform the last dragon was coming out. There were no others to be seen. So I walked in. glory was sitting in the room by herself it seemed.
“I see this place has changed, definitely more flowers.” glory whipped her head around, she had a slight gold hue to her normal colors.
“You came!” she smiled slightly, getting up and walking towards me.
“Of course! I wouldn't miss coming home for the world.” when we met in the middle we pulled each other into a tight hug.
“You better not tell anybody I actually show affection..” she hissed slightly, her usual sarcastic tone ever present. I laughed softly and pulled away. We both had smiles on our faces. Someone is watching us. Not a rainwing though.
“So what have you been up to besides queenly duties?” she laughed slightly, “nothing much, just answering random dragon's questions, most of which sound like ‘my mango tree was assaulted’ or ‘the nightwings keep invading our sun time spots’” I laughed softly at her mimics.
“My my and who do we have here, I've definitely never seen you before.” I turned my head to meet a Nightwing, (a very handsome one at that) my scales mixed into a salmon and a magenta color I noticed immediately and tried to go to my natural colors, glory noticed also and was amused. I hoped that this Nightwing didn't know what the rainwing colors meant otherwise I was screwed. Luckily for me my scales finally died down.
“My name is… D/N” I looked over in his direction but not at him, I knew I was going to get flustered again if I did. “Well D/N, im deathbringer, queen glory’s devilishly handsom servant.” he got one thing right he was devilishly handsome, but I doubt glory likes him that much.
“HA! If anything you look like a squashed beetle” she hissed back laughing slightly. “And as much as id like to insult you more, it's sun time, and I know ill get yelled at so let's go D/N, I've got the perfect spot,” she said slowly standing up and walking towards the door. I got up and followed after her, but stopped right at the doorway.
“Have you ever experienced sun time?” I looked back at deathbringer, and he shook his head, “you should join us then, even if you're not a rainwing, it's still really nice, at least coming from a hybrid.” I then took off after glory.
As we were gliding I could hear the faint sound of a few trees whacking someone behind me, assuming it was deathbringer. We finally landed on a large platform in the middle of a wide canopy, the sun was shining through the gaps in the trees, and most of the platform was covered in the golden warm light. I heard a light thud from behind me, I looked back to see deathbringer covered in leaves and some pollen dusting his body here and there.
Deathbringer walked over to me “so how does this ‘sun time’ actually work?” he asked, I chuckled slightly “I mean I've seen the rainwings do it, but im not sure I understand completely…” I laughed slightly, turning myself around to face him fully.
“Just pick a spot to lay down and go to sleep.” he looked at me then glory then back to me “that's it?” I nodded. He looked down for a second, then looked back up and found a spot to lie down, he was situated in the middle of the biggest sunspot. He circled for a second and was about to lie down when glory threw some pillows at him.
“It's more comfortable with pillows.” he moved the pillows and then laid down. I grabbed some pillows for myself and laid down right next to him, he flinched slightly, im guessing he doesn't understand why im lying right next to him, practically on top of him. Our backs were against each other, and glory lay down in front of me with her back to me. She didn't lay down very close, since she's not big on dragons laying on top of her.
POV: Deathbringer
I had laid down and started to get comfortable on the pillows that had been given to me when I felt a warm body lying right against my back. I could feel what felt like a sail on the dragon's back, so I assumed it was D/N.
Rainwings must not know personal space, although, it feels nice, she was so warm, so on top of having the warm sun warming my scales (which felt really nice) I also had her warm body. I so wanted to flip around and hold onto her but I knew that would be weird since I had only just met the dragon. But oh was she beautiful. That first time I saw her I was mesmerized.
A couple of hours later
POV: D/N
When I woke up I was facing the opposite way I was when I fell asleep. I had my head resting on Deathbringer's neck and shoulder. I had one arm up on him next to my head, and our tails were intertwined. I was going to move away so that if he woke up he didn't get angry we were like this, but what stopped me was his tail squeezing my tail slightly and the smile of contentment upon his face.
I noticed my scales had neutral blue splotches atop a light gray base with a hue of light pink and magenta on the tip of my tail, my ears, the end of my snout, and a little in my frill, wing gaps, and my sail. I tried to move as little as I could not to wake him but he slowly started to wake up after a little while.
POV: Deathbringer
I slowly opened my eyes and blinked a few times. I lifted my head softly and yawned, but I felt a weight on my shoulder and something around my tail. I lifted my head farther up and the thing on my shoulder slowly moved off but there was still a lightweight on it. I looked behind me to see D/N  staring at me awkwardly.
She turned a jade green still with hints of pink, I couldn't pick out which though, whether it was a magenta or a light pink or both. She smiled a soft awkward smile and mumbled something as she slowly pulled away from my body. She got up and tried to walk away, with her tail still slightly intertwined with mine, but I tightened my tail's grip on her tail. She stopped and whipped her head around with a confused look upon her beautiful features.
“It's alright, I didn't mind,” I said and let go of her tail. I stood up and stretched my wings and legs. It was getting nearer to sunset by now. And the sky was turning all sorts of colors, as the clouds slowly turned colors to match the sky, kinda like how rainwings can change their scale color.
POV: D/N  (watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_GLwiFFYAU to understand the scene a little more)
I stared at him as he stretched, why wasnt he angry, I mean I know he didn't exactly want to let go of me while he was asleep but he was asleep he didn't realize it was me, he was probably thinking of someone else.
I slowly walked towards the edge of the platform and sat, it was eerily quiet because it was sunset I presumed everyone was heading to their huts and turning in for the night. I looked back to where we had slept and I noticed that glory had been gone, im guessing she probably headed to her hut. I could hear a few birds cawing in the distance and some crickets. The sun was still shining through the trees, but instead of the usual day sun, this was the deep gold sun that made everything around it gold.
“You wanna go for a flight?” I called behind me to deathbringer. I didn't need an answer I simply spread my wings, and basked in the light a little.
POV: Deathbringer
“You wanna go for a flight?” I heard her voice call out, I turned my head to her about to reply but when I opened my eyes my jaw dropped, she had spread her wings in the golden light, her wings catching the light and they glowed and creating colors along the platform behind her. Her wings were an iridescent purple with hints of pink and orange, matching the sunset in front of her. Her scales were mixes of yellows, oranges, and pinks. She was beautiful. I don't know how I had fallen for her within a day but she had this effect on me that I couldn't shake.
POV: D/N
I stood up and basked a little longer, I crouched down and leaned forward off the platform. I pushed off and glided downwards, I shifted my wings and used the momentum of the air to push me back upwards, towards the edge of the platform. I was fully vertical and I whooshed past the platform and up into the tree canopy, I could hear wingbeats below me.
POV: Deathbringer
I saw her lunge forward so I walked to the edge of the platform to see where she went, right as I got to the edge she flew upwards right in front of me. I spread my wings and took off after her. We pass through the tree canopy, scaring a few birds on our way up. I pushed my wings to take me higher, moving my legs to gain more momentum, as if I were galloping.
We were above the rainforest and It was just trees for miles. She was glowing in the sun, she did a few tricks in the air. I moved forward and our wings lined up, I shifted over and touched my wing to hers, she looked over at me and smiled.
POV: D/N
I felt a wing graze mine and I looked over to see deathbringer in line with me. I smiled and I looked forward and saw a small clearing in the trees a ways in the distance. The sun was below the horizon now and the colors were slowly fading. I landed next to the tall grass in the clearing when we reached it.
Deathbringer landed next to me. The sky had finally darkened the moon was shining bright. The only light was coming from the moon. I looked over at deathbringer and smiled I motioned my head towards the field and he tilted his head questioning what I meant, I rolled my eyes and walked forward. With every step I took, fireflies jumped up.
POV: Deathbringer
She was so beautiful, the fireflies jumped in the air and circled her. As she walked, I found myself in awe of the fireflies and her. My jaw had dropped slightly, a smile evident on my face, as I stared at her as if she had told me she loved me. I think I might love her, I had fallen hard, and something about her drew me in, as no one had before. She soon turned around to face me and she had the most beautiful smile grazing her features. Her eyes were full of wonder as the fireflies sparkled in her eyes. Everything seemed to stop, nothing else mattered at that moment, just us, just her dancing under the moonlight. She looked at me and motioned for me to come closer. I was in awe of her but like a moth to a flame, I slowly inched forward. My mouth all the same was slightly agape with a smile unmovingly resting there.
“Close your mouth, if you're not careful you might start drooling," she chuckled as she tapped the bottom of my chin, I closed my mouth with a huge smile evident on my snout.
“Dance with me?” she said, even though the birds were making songs, there was no sound, “but there is no music” I hesitated, glancing at the ground “and I don’t know how to..” I trailed off when my eyes returned to hers, she had an eyebrow raised her smirk was wide.
“seems the oh-so-confident flirtatious deathbringer isn't so confident now” she teased softly, I scoffed sarcastically, with a smug smirk on my features. I lifted my head and stood tall. I sauntered towards her. I went past her, letting my tail brush her red face.
“getting cocky now, are we?” I questioned her, I continued to circle her. I stopped beside her and moved my head towards her ear, and whispered sweet nothings into her ear as her scales turned all sorts of colors, I smirked widely at this.
POV: D/N
I could feel his hot breath on my neck, his tail was running along my side, in a feather-light touch. It sent shivers down my spine. His husky voice started whispering in my ear, things that made me fall deeper into his grasp. He touched his snout to my cheek. I looked at him, I tried to speak but it only came out in a mumbled mess.
“Still want to dance?” he whispered, for a moment I stopped and looked at his genuine smile, and nodded, “I thought you didn't know how?” I inquired, and he chuckled softly.
“ill figure it out, I can't leave a beautiful lady hanging now, can I?” I chuckled, I quickly showed him how to, so there we were gliding in the grass, our necks wrapped around each other, our tails intertwined, and our wings tucked in. Nothing mattered at that moment, just the two of us. Even though there wasnt much sound, it seemed as though music was being made just for us, from whatever was around. The blades of grass were whistling, the rustling of leaves and the many birds singing out into the darkness. It was perfect.
Timeskip: 2 days later
Glory and I went to a local fruit stand and grabbed some fresh mangos to eat. We sat down in a splotch of sun with a table in between the two of us, talking as we ate. She fed some fruit to her sloth, silver, as we talked.
“So how have your classes been going at the academy?” she questioned, “made any new friends?” I swallowed the fruit in my mouth.
“My classes are going great, it's so interesting to learn about the other dragons from someone who is that species, instead of hearing stuff from books,” I answered thinking back to moments that I remember about some of my classes, “and I've definitely made some good friends, most of the dragons there are still not used to the whole idea of conversing with other dragon tribes in a friendly manner.” I chuckled softly.
“Hello ladies, how's it going?” a deep voice sounded from behind me. I turned to see a smirking deathbringer, he walked up to the table. In the process, he intertwined his tail with mine secretly.  I smiled not acknowledging the presence of his tail.
“It's going alright deathbringer, what brings you over here?” glory skeptically inquired. I stood there and watched his features as he spoke.
“What? Am I not allowed to check in on the queen and her friend?” he chuckled glancing down at me quickly. I looked over to glory who was looking at me suspiciously, I gulped slightly and smiled nervously trying to act like nothing was going on.
“GLORY!!” a loud high pitched voice yelled, we all looked at each other and then looked in the direction of the voice. Jambu was coming straight for us, he landed next to the table panting.
“What is it now jambu?” glory rolled her eyes slightly, with a hiss in her voice. He took a moment to catch his breath before he started talking.
“Problem…angry dragons…your hut…” he breathed out still slightly out of breath. She sighed and rolled her eyes again before slowly standing up and walking away.
“Hopefully ill be back soon, dont have too much fun while im gone, lovebirds” she called out behind her as she walked, chuckling out loud to herself, we stared at her in disbelief as she walked away. “oh and D/N?” she turned around for a second to look at me.
“Y-yeah?” I gulped slightly, “be careful with him, he's tricky.” she pointed her tail towards deathbringer. She turned back around and took off.
“Im tricky?” deathbringer asked beside me. I laughed, and he looked down at me and laughed too.
I moved my head underneath his chin and rubbed my head against him, he wrapped one of his wings around my body and pulled me close.
I didn't want this love and attraction to seem rushed but I've definitely felt attraction this quickly, and that's what this is supposed to represent, attraction. Sorry if you didn't like this... but I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I did writing it

Would you draw Haven and/or Desert Rose? Background:
Haven is Blaze’s daughter (most of the Sandwings didn’t know about her as she was raised by Glacier and Blaze (i ship Blaze x Glacier but in this case it was more of a friendship then romance) in secret, so she also never really became a part of the war). She flew away from the Ice Kingdom one day and met Blister, who nearly killed her on sight, until Hester at the last second said that she’d work in her army. So she was sent to kill AGH I SAID HESTER sorry I meant haven the School for Good and Evil has been in my brain lol ANYWAY she was supposed to kill Blaze, yadayadayada, whatever, oh rights she’s an animus idk how to even describe that. Whatever, point is, plz make her look like Blaze but without mist of the vanity, also she has three roses on her upper neck scales closest to her frill. She also has gold leaf-dipped claws and tail barb (much like Vulture)
edit: ok here
Haven
Sandwing. Daughter of Blaze and unknown father, born during the war. Thinks of and loves Glacier as a sort of mother figure. Loves Blaze as a mother, but wishes she was less self centered. Blister knows of Haven and was going to kill her because she was an heir, but bargained and Haven fought strongly on Blister’s side and promised to kill Burn. Blister believed Haven was trying to kill Burn, but she wasn’t. Blister only found this out at the end of the war when the Dragonets gathered the sisters together, and tried to murder Haven, but was stopped. Haven and Crystal grew up together and have an interesting relationship- more than friends, less than sisters, no romance. Haven is a combo of the three sisters. Smart like Blister, strong fighter like Burn, and like Blaze, not evil. Her life in the palace now is nice. Thorn respects Haven, but isn’t as fond of her as she is Sunny and Qibli. She thinks of her like Blaze, but much less ditzy and self obsessed. Haven respects Thorn. She knows Sunny and Qibli, but not well. They don’t mind each other. Few dragons besides the royal families in the other tribes know about Haven, but most Sandwings do. She is still considered as a Sandwing princess, and lives with her mother in luxury. However, she is always a help in the castle to Thorn and anyone else in terms of welfare of the kingdom. She hasn’t really seen Glacier since the war, only when Blaze goes to meet her, but she misses her and Glacier thinks of Haven often. The two had a mentor/mother relationship. Haven is sent on many missions by Thorn, and is often doing business with other tribes. She and Blaze went soon after the war from tribe to tribe to resolve the aftermath of the war. This was Haven and Thorn’s idea. Then there’s her dark side. Haven is full of ambition. This isn’t always a bad thing, but she’s an animus. She used her magic all the time in the war, though rarely for good reason. She wasn’t taught about animus magic, so she didn’t know the full extent of her power. She mostly used it for Blaze- jewels, crowns, scepters and what not. She used it two or three times for Glacier, but nothing big. Here’s the big thing- she used it once without Blister knowing to kill Burn. Burn was well protected, and the plan failed. After Burn suspected Blister, aka Anemone, Haven refused to try again because she didn’t want innocent Anemone killed. However, once all her spells, plus that enormous one, added up, she realized she was losing her soul. After the war, she swore to never use her magic again, but she already had a dark side. Plus, she was sometimes an assassin in the war, so she kills with ease and no regret. Though not a threat to Thorn yet, she very well could be at some point.
Also Desert Rose is her girlfriend, kinda tragic past, I was tired while creating her so I somehow weaved her mother into some sort of tragic love story with Kestrel?!?!? And then she died and told Kestrel to take care of her egg and Kestrel named her after her mother and whenever she left the DoD it was to take care of Desert Rose, who was sorta a retry since Peril and Sky were allegedly dead. Desert Rose has scales with a pinkish tint, a black frill, black outlines on her center neck scales, and three rings on her right horn; two plain gold and one with these layers; cranberry color, gold with cranberry dots in a ring in the center, and cranberry color.
I’m super tired writing this so I sound delusional lol I’m so sorry
Tumblr media
Here ya’ go! Might not be all that accurate but that boils down to how I read descriptions being funky lol(and also going off my design for blaze which probably wasn’t the best call)

I love WoF AUs that go “what if different eggs got taken for the dragonet prophecy” and we get a different set of dragonets for an alternate version of the 1st arc.
Tumblr media
So yeah I decided to make my own (I’ve gone through a couple of different iterations, but this is the most current.
The quirk here is that I basically thought “wait what if the dragonets where everything Morrowseer had wanted”. Like they just ended up with with a perfectly normal set of a Mud, Sand, Sea, Night, and Skywing. No replacement-that-is-of-a-different-tribe-because-one-of-the-guardians-fucked-something-up. No obvious hybrids. They get left alone for another year, and emerge from the cave to the chaos of the events of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd arcs all at once.
(Also another quirk is that they are all related in some way to a canon character; Asha and Hviter are also still alive)
Tumblr media
Bigshadow (She/They)
-She’s the big soft himbo-type character. Due to severe nearsightedness, they’ve always had difficulty reading/writing. The guardians just assume she’s dumb, but she really loves learning and art.
-I can’t remember if it’s canon that Secretkeeper and Morrowseer had tried to had dragonets before Moonwatcher and that they had “lost” them, but I decided for this AU, an attempt had produced a viable egg and Morrowseer decided “what would be a better dragonet to lead the dragonets of destiny than my own”, stealing the egg and flying through the night to the cave.
-Due to this, Bigshadow was partially exposed to the moonlight of the Brightest Night, giving her somewhat unreliable psychic powers. Most of the time she misinterprets them as being very weird dreams/intrusive thoughts.
-Shortly after Morrowseer did his year-prior check in, they start to feel a strange presence in their dreams and swear they hear someone calling to them from outside the cave when things are quiet (*cough* *cough* Darkstalker).
Tumblr media
Mangrove (He/They) (yes I know there is already a canon character named Mangrove; it’s a sick name)
-Gumpy quiet sad man who’s in to medicine and nature
-In this universe, Gill gets a “funny feeling” during the Brightest Night and decides to take what would be Tsunami’s egg so he can “be with his new daughter during her hatching”. Webs, then, takes one of the male eggs instead when he breaks into the hatching room.
-The AU Sandwing minder; Jackal (more on her later), was a little too rough on him when was younger during fight practice (maybe I should have featured a scar somewhere in his design?). Due to this, he abhors violence.
Tumblr media
Mole (She/Her)
-The softly spoken nerd who gets picked on for not being the big strong meatbag Mudwing the guardians had wanted. She has a secretly love for war history and is probably really good at strategically fighting (in a real world AU she would be an American Civil War or WWII nerd).
-Asha couldn’t get Cattail to give up Clay’s egg, so Crocodile (remember that lady?) gives Asha “her” blood red egg (she actually stole it from her sister, Toad) at the last minute.
-I originally had her as being from a non-blood red egg Crocodile just painting red but the Sandwing minder probably just would have incinerated her.
Tumblr media
Coyote (Any Pronouns) (I’m not sure about the name; I wanted something related to new world deserts but not named after a cactus and I don’t feel like Gila or Mesa fit).
-Apathetic bastard who hates everyone except her adoptive siblings (basically as far as you could get from Sunny without being an outright evil asshole).
-In this AU, Dune never left the Outclaws (the dragonet that would have been Sunny is raised among them). Due to this, a different Sandwing minder was chosen from the TOP; Jackal.
-Jackal was…umm…very devout to the prophecy and willing to “weed out anything that wasn’t promised in the prophecy” (she probably would have killed both Glory and Sunny immediately, Starflight not having psychic powers probably would have set her off as well).
-Jackal stole the egg of her brother, Corsac, a general in Blaze’s army. Corsac and his wife, Bison, caught her in the middle of the act, but she got away (they would later have a son, Pronghorn, like the one from JMA).
Tumblr media
Shrike (They/Them)
-The artsy goth kid who loves supernatural stuff (they go wild every time Hviter or Webs starts talking about amunism).
-Kestrel in this AU either doesn’t have Peril/Sky in the first place or chooses to fuck off into the mountains with her kids (perhaps with the help of Soar/Chameleon?). Maroon (name also pending), a different Skywing, is instead chosen. Due to Maroon being less “high profile” than Kestrel, he is chosen to steal the Skywing egg, being more familiar with what hatcheries are more or less highly guarded than others (unlike, say, Hviter).
-This version of the dragonets have made a giant cave mural with the help of Asha and the Maroon. Shrike is the primary contributor to this mural even though the other dragonets have “grown out of it”. Mostly, they paint Bigshadow’s “dreams”.
-They are intrigued by Bigshadow’s dreams and is the only one who thinks they are more than just dreams.
-They make jewelry out of bones from the prey animals the guardians bring them (originally I was going to include a necklace with some skulls and stuff, but that shit’s hard to draw).
-I had no smooth way of tying to fit this in but he is either the half-sibling or cousin (I haven’t decided) to the Skywing False Dragonet, Flame.

(Take these mushy headcanons for my dad!Stonemover AU (damn it’s been a while since I’ve done something about that))
- Sunny was a happy little surprise between Thorn and Stonemover, but Thorn held off telling him about the fact that she was with egg because she didn’t know how he would respond. (He’s overjoyed, but both of them are worried about raising a child in the Scorpion Den, even though it might be the best place to raise a SandWing dragonet, due to the war never coming to the den)
- Thorn and Stonemover didn’t know what to name Sunny while she didn’t hatch yet, but they came up with a list. Thorn suggests that if their dragonet takes after their NightWing side, then they’d name the dragonet Beetle. Anyway, Sunny came out with golden scales and not any NightWing coloring on her, and Stonemover suggested that they name her Sunny.
- Stonemover is the only tall person in their family; Thorn and Sunny are both tiny. 
- Sunny had an odd sleep schedule while she was younger (Fun fact: Both her and Darkstalker dislike sleeping, because it makes them feel like they’re missing out on something, but SandWings and IceWings are diurnal, and NightWings are naturally nocturnal, so at either day or night it’s like the equivalent of sleeping away the time where they’re supposed to be most active. So, both of them probably woke up in the middle of the night before falling asleep again, or took odd naps throughout the day while they were very young, until they grew out of it.)
- Thorn wasn’t much of a deep sleeper before she had Sunny, but after having her she became a lighter sleeper and her ears have become attuned to the sound of small footsteps pitter-pattering nearby because it means that Sunny escaped the crib in the middle of the night again. She probably woke up to find a little golden dragonet curled up under her wing who was definitely not there the night before.
- Both Stonemover and Sunny go all out for Thorn on the Pyrrhian equivalent of Mother’s Day and they make a card and go shopping together for something nice for Thorn. 
- One day Thorn and Stonemover take Sunny and they get a portrait but no way is Sunny going to sit still long enough for the artist to finish, so she was wriggling in Thorn’s arms and even Stonemover was fidgeting the entire time.  (Less than a year later, Thorn comes back to make wanted posters for her missing family)
- Thorn tries to teach Sunny how to fight as a small dragonet (she never hit Sunny, but mostly tripped her or caused her to lose her balance while Sunny was supposed to focus on giving Thorn her hardest shots. After a time Sunny gives up, hugs Thorn, and stops trying because she didn’t really want to hurt her mother. Thorn decides that she’ll try again when Sunny’s older.)
- During the hottest hours of the day, a lot of SandWings return home and businesses close down, and it’s a time used to take care of family or to sleep. It’s hot, so Stonemover and Thorn won’t cuddle too close, but they just twine tails and sleep away the heat together.
- On the other hand, at night, Sunny cuddled close to Thorn when it was cold at night, and Stonemover kept close because he didn’t emanate heat like a SandWing did, so yeah Thorn has definitely ended up in a cuddle pile where none of them wanted to move away because of how warm she was.
- When Thorn loses her family, she comes to miss how Stonemover snored, even though he was so loud, and she finds that she can’t sleep because it’s too quiet. Some part of her still expects to be woken up by Sunny in the middle of the night. 
Anyway, that’s all I have for now. I’m focusing on setting up pre-arc 1 NightWing relations an entire 2 years before Sunny hatches, but I love this little family <3

Hey I just recently found your Dragonets of Despair au and it’s really cool! I have a few questions to ask if you wouldn’t mind answering. The first two are a little more spoilery so feel free to skip those.
1. Do any of the dragonets other than Tsunami get redeemed? I’m guessing Clay probably will since he seems to be the least bad of them and understand their faults. But what about Starflight, Sunny and Glory/Flare?
2. For Queen Scarlets champion is it the same dragon as the animus that helped her create it? If so that means her champion is an animus and since Stonemover and I’m pretty sure Turtle are rule out, that only leaves Darkstalker and Jerboa III as living animuses. Is it one of them?
3. Finally the Sandwing sisters. Are they any different at all or are they the same in this au?
Thanks!
First of all, I'm super surprised people are still finding out about my AU (considering it was made about a year ago?) !! I'm really happy you liked it!
1. Tsunami and Clay definitely get redeemed so ill get that out of the way. Glory/Flare is a character i love to explore in my mind and I like to think she has an arc where she accepts her true self but still has some trouble grappling with it at the end. Something major like lying to yourself for the first years of your life don't go away in a matter of weeks/months. I've thought about her meeting Peril and seeing how she's an outcast from the Sky Kingdom despite Peril being a skywing and all. And Glory getting so confused by how Peril is so optimistic even though her own (superior) tribe abandoned her. Also the juxtaposition of cheery Peril + cynical yet smug Glory haha. I think it would be really funny
Honestly Starflight gets the short end of the stick here. I really think he dies or suffers a tragic end. He's really creepy even though he's instrumental in being the voice of reason (he can literally see the future so he keeps them out of trouble half the time). I also dont like how he fell for Sunny (his adoptive sister) in the original haha. Sunny will not get with him not matter what, although that doesn't stop her from using him to get what she wants.
As for Sunny I see her realising how horrible shes been to Starflight and confessing all her lies to Starflight right as the volcano blows up. Like "I'm sorry i did this and i need to tell you the truth so i can stop leading you on" yeah Starflight gets super pissed and fights her after that lol. Does that count as a redemption arc? For sunny at least
2. I kept this a secret for so long but tbh no one can really guess it. It's Orca. But she shows up as a fake SkyWing champion at first, as a dragon named Spinel. I gave her a whole arc and everything. Basically she got found out as an animus pretty early on by Coral and she was used as a negotiating tool in the SandWing war. She grew tired and defected to the Sky Kingdom, where she believes she's more free there than in the Sea Kingdom. Although tsunami does tell her Orca's not as free as she thinks she is, Orca still says that as long as you're an animus, you will always be working for somebody's benefit in some way no matter what. Kind of a sad situation but hey
Looking back at this it was kinda dumb but i had a lot of fun writing it ��
3. I have honestly not touched them because i love them the way they are.
Sorry if the answers weren't what you were expecting. I wrote a lot of the initial story in a google doc and i returned to it while answering this ask. I forgot how fun that was, might draw them again someday. Thanks for asking!

Headcanon post!! This time about my take on Tsu & Riptides relationship :> I like the two but not really as a couple, they have their sweet moments but overall I have a different Tsu ship that I like better, but I’ll post about that one later 😔👊 Eitherway enjoy this for now :)
• After the events at the Sandwing Stronghold the two met up one on one, Tsunami thanked Riptide for helping with Clay and Riptide thanked Tsunami for helping to save the tribes. It was both awkward and sweet all at once
• Riptide put a lot of funds into building JMA and often turned to the Dragonets of Destiny for ideas on rebuilding the Talons of Peace; he mainly spoke to Tsunami on certain topics because she’s the most passionate and then speaks to Sunny & Starlight on how to make those ideas more realistic hegvshasgh
• During this time Tsu & Riptide become closer and decided “sure lets do this partner thing together >:)”
• Both of them hate using the term “boyfriend” or “girlfriend” and just refer to themself and eachother as “partner”
This definitely isn’t because I despise those terms and they make me uncomfortable and I dont want to have to write them hahah nope
• Riptide valued honestly in their relationship more, he still felt very guilty for how he treated her in their first meeting (as in not telling her about his parentage) and is always transparent with her. Tsunami recognizes this and does the same, they have fun meeting up and taking about their day’s to eachother
• Riptide always tries his best to respect Tsunami’s space, as she’s vented to him about feeling like a lot of the turmoil still going on after the war is still on her talons and enjoys being alone to shake off the pressure of others eye’s [based off canon things said by Riptide]
• Tsunami made up a lot of dumb nicknames for the two and often helped name things in the Talons of Peace
• Tsu used to surprise visit Rip when there would be an influx of dragons to sanctuary; Riptide gets overwhelmed easily in a position of power and Tsunami would give him good pep talks and make horrible jokes (and the occasional AMAZING song) to help him calm down
• The two would write letters to eachother a lot and co-owned a messenger osprey :)
• They had a solid relationship for a long while, they could easily bounce off eachother and felt really comfortable with eachother, finding it easily to talk and be honest with the other
• One day Anemone presented the “so when are you two getting married??” Question, and that stumped them. That night they were like “okay so like I forgot we were dating.” They had hung out a lot and always looked towards their monthly/weekly meet-ups, and yet they didn’t really do any of the common couple stuff, like being physically affectionate, going on dates, and at that point they had felt kinda strange calling the other “partner”
Note; Lack of dates & PDA doesn’t mean the relationship isn’t “good”!! PDA is not a requirement for relationships all the time!! I used some of those as examples, but thats not like,, a relationship requirement ya know?? tsu & rip just realized that they didn’t have a romantic attraction to eachother. I just wanna stress that that’s not like,, a requirement for relationships if ya know what I mean?? Like,, just love eachother and if you dont want to show it physically a lot thats okay !! Love how you want to love :)💕
• After a few weeks of deliberation they kinda realized that they didn’t have much of a romantic attraction to the other, and just preferred to be friends. This was kinda hard for them at first, as they questioned the true extent of their friendship, but after a month or so they hung out as normal again, and still treat eachother the same as before, but with the comfort of knowing that they are best bros 😎👊
• This happened twords the end of Winter Turning !
• They love going out on flights together and just hanging out, they still talk about everything together but now they talk about their crushes as well >:)
• Riptide was the last dragon Tsunami spoke to before leaving Phyrrhia, everyday he debated sending out their Osprey to track her but always decided agenst it
[mild spoilers for book 14]
• When Tsunami got back from Pantala she was desperate to get back to Riptide for the sole purpose of telling him all about Io (because fuck you (/lh) tsu x io gives me life blood)
• Once they finally met back up they both stayed up all night talking about Pantala and building Sanctuary and any and everything else
• Riptide’s first action upon meeting Io will be warning her about Tsunami being bad at singing but to just go along with it

Wings of fire headcannons!
-DRAGON FRESCOS!! Dragon f r e s c o s! (if you don't know what those are, the sistine chapel is known for its frescos by Michelangelo. its were thick wet plaster is painted on with water colors)
-now that scarlets gone, do you think there'll be a skywing renaissance?
-dragonflame cacti was perviously used for food/ decor/ meds/ect. then when scarlet came along they were used for warfare.
-dragons from other tribes couldn't become citizens pre-ruby era.
-lgbtq+ was illegal with a death penalty, pre-ruby. It was a rarer way to die because during the war there were very little weddings (exception being nobility.)
-scarlet never allowed her children romantic partners. If it was found out they had one, the partner and/or child would be publicly exicuted.
-public executions were scarlets hobby, and one of the few versions of entertainment.
-scarlet stalking her kids was the only non-violent form of entertainment she had.
-scarlet was excluded from all laws.
-scarlet made a holiday that was just about her.
-when scarlet died the first time, a few dragons burned portraits or broke her statues in celebration.
-scarlet had a "the grass is greener on the other side" problem
-scarlet seems a lot bigger than she really is due to her reputation, and vibe.
-scarlet gets a power kick from keeping dragons as pets. she had a few before glory and peril. (a jumpy artist being one of them. they painted some of her portraits (one being her portrait in the wingery (its never said if its the wingery or The Royal Wingery tho) after they realized how manipulated they were, they tried and failed to poison scarlet. they were executed)
-anyone who mentioned how ruby popped up out of nowhere was executed.
-dragon ponchos!
-the spot in between the sky/mud/sand/rain kingdoms has Utah-like weather. (anyone from Utah will tell you how temperamental it is. rainstorms last from a few minuets to a couple hours, once its over its sunny like it never happened, but still freezing. If you stand in the sun it feels like your skin is about to fry, but the moment you step into the shade its below freezing. you can wake up mid spring with thick snow on the ground. snow in the mountains doesn't thaw until late summer. snow starts around October. when camping you have to pack warm clothes, and sunscreen, the mornings are always cold, but afternoons make you feel you you're melting (aka me walking home from school today.) looking away from the window automatically changes the weather.)
-scarlet is known for her gaslighting.
-every other queen hated her (not counting burn, she was a princess.)
-post-war/post-scarlet, the word 'thrilling' is never used, as it is very traumatic.
-ruby is bi, tourmaline was lesbian, and had a secret girlfriend, but she was disappeared along with tourmaline.
-anyone who broke a law had to choose between the gladiator ring, or death penalty.
-the entire tribe (exception being high nobles and royalty) is underfed.
-scarlet had no scientists, academics, ect, for most of her rein
-sandwing/skywing lullabies are mostly analogies for death, with some elements of rebirth/ reencarntion.
-rainwings don't have any defined sexualities, they don't care. anyone can date anyone. (pedophilia is socially frowned upon though.) polyamory is completely ok, and even envied for one reason, and one reason alone: cuddle puddles. most romances end on good terms. people who only have platonic relationships are also envied. sexual relationships are a bit more private, as they are aware that it makes some people uncomfy. if someone does anything without consent the entire tribe will glare at that person, and refuse to share their lunch with them. gender is a construct that they don't have, only pronouns, which can be changed without any problems, as with names.
-icewings are homophobic, transphobic, and monogamous. commoners have a 'don't ask don't tell stance, nobility/royals are very strict on the matter.
-sandwings are lax with sexualities. a few queens were known to share their throne with their wife(s). plenty of mythological characters are some verity of lgbtq+ bisexuality is considered the norm.
-seawings are like ancient Greece, minus the pedophilia, and incest. they are like sandwings but more poetic and open abt it. don't ask dragons about their S/Os because they will brag about them for hours.
-mudwings have romanic relationships, but platonic ones are dominate. at one point the mudwings nearly became endangered because a lack of eggs, now all adult dragons are required to have at least one egg.
-skywings are tricky because they strait up don't have a culture rn. in the future their stand on LGBTQ+ will be similar to sandwings.
-nightwings are homophobic/ transphobic. monogamous relationships are the only kind allowed. glory is trying to change that. (this is to show how similar ice/nightwings are, and how different night/rainwings are.

My WOF AU’s
Feel free to use these as prompts for roleplays, fanfics, or adjust them for other books or series. Most of these are ones I made up but a lot are very popular themes that I’ve modified to fit my tastes.
Arc 1
Evil!DOD - After Queen Oasis’s death, the remaining Sandwing sisters (Blister, Blaze and Burn) came to an agreement to split the Sand Kingdom into three distinct kingdoms (Viper, Scarab and Carcass respectively.). The peace was kept for 20 years until a prophecy was foretold that 5 dragonets would rise to bring endless torment since the sisters had broken ancient tradition by having more than 1 queen ruling. Glory doesn’t exist since the Skywing egg wasn’t destroyed by Burn since she wasn’t vengeful and the Skywing is named Inferno.
AnimusMindreader!Sunny - (This one is iffy in terms of lore.) Sunny is still a Sand-Night hybrid but was born exposed to the full moon via the hole in the top of the DOD den. She grew up hiding her powers, afraid that Kestrel or Dune would make her do things, and often hiding with Starflight since his thoughts were quieter than Clay’s and a lot calmer than Tsunami’s.
Arc 2
Evil!Qibli AU - Qibli was never nice or considerate, instead he was cunning, nasty, and often downright mean towards everyone. His mother somewhat appreciated him since he was just as conniving as she was and when he heard that Moonwatcher was a Nightwing he made it his job to belittle her and gave her a small scar on her cheek on their first day at Jade Academy. Evil!Moonwatcher - Self explanatory. Moon was always nice until Darkstalker managed to persuade her to go against Jade Mountain and burned the scroll as soon as she found it, knowing it would set Darkstalker free.
Arc 3
Reverse!Pantala AU - Silkwings used their flamesilk and the Book of Clearsight to unite with the Leafwings. The Hivewing’s were pushed to the back of Pantala and expected to be extinct when, really, they were hiding in the Hive Plantation, a large area near the ‘tail’ of the Pantala map which is filled with oversized bees and wasps as well as various honey-producing plants and toxic pools of sap. There are versions of this AU where the Leafwings take over and eradicate the Silkwings, but I prefer this one.
Hybrid!Bumblebee AU - Bumblebee is going to the orphanage not because she doesn’t have parents, but because she is a Hive-Silk hybrid. This one is pretty basic and doesn’t fit with canon, but it exists.
Legends
Twins!Darkstalker AU - Darkstalker did break Whiteout out of her egg, so they both ended up with the same powers. Whiteout has animus too. This can end with either Whiteout defeating Darkstalker or vice versa, as well as the option to have them both unite to take over Phyrria.
Evil!Clearsight AU - (messes with Pantala’s lore a bit) Clearsight joins Darkstalker on his quest to make Phyrria ‘better’, including them pulling a Queen Wasp and making the Icewings go poof.
Firescales!Sky or Fireless!Peril - Peril and Sky switch roles, with Peril being found by Wren after being thrown in the river, and Sky staying to become Queen Scarlet’s wonderful little pet. (In the Legends section because Sky is only mentioned in Dragonslayer)
LMK you favorites! Also open to requests for WOF related writing via asks.

Princess Sunny of the SandWings (and NightWings)
Sweet. The line that haunts Sunny yet it’s the quickest way for an onlooker to describe her. Sunny has so much weight to her. So much underminding to her character outside and within the canon. The baby SandWing Mary Sue that precedes Qibli (back when Tui could actually write a believable story about one individual being so vitally important to the fate of the entire world. I feel like things went way too perfectly for Sunny in the end. It went from everyone disregarding her to everyone immediately giving her her full respect. Sunny’s idealism was rewarded, and she didn’t quite get the satisfying splash of realism to set in quite as I would have liked. 
A splash of realism shall be below the button.
Design headcanons
The smallest and stoutest of the Dragonets of Destiny. She has a more munchkin cat build and is honestly quite stubby and humorous as opposed to the intimidating dragons she stands shoulder to shoulder with among the ranks of ending the SandWing War of Succession.
She’s designed in a similar likeness to a sun beetle, a brown and yellow beetle that I thought perfectly captured her not quite sandy SandWing design nor nightish NightWing design. She has a gaudy, buggish appearance, with nicked horns like a beetle and iridescent undersides to her wings.
Sunny is small, but tough. Hardy and quick. She’s surprisingly agile and almost impervious to being flung at things or falling from things....
She was always poked at by the Guardians, questioned for her misshapen appearance and lack of venom or generally intimidating features. Admittedly, Dune did take her in, feeling a sense of responsibility to watch over this malformed SandWing and make sure she didn’t feel too inferior. He feigned pride over his scars from an ugly war and told her that the odder the SandWing looked, the more they were a force to be reckoned with. Though he never voiced this softness in front of the other Guardians.
Sunny has the brightest scales out of her siblings, somewhat shiny and golden, as stated in the book. A treasure she takes great pride in, because it was nothing that the Guardians could take away or eat, like her sparkly stones and her strange crawfish.
Implications of Heritage 
Going all the way back, Sunny is related to Queen Diamond and Prince Arctic, she’s related to Darkstalker and Whiteout, she has animus blood in her veins, and also the plainest common folk of SandWings on her mother’s side. 
There’s something odd about how no one really acknowledges how Sunny was so close to being an animus. But I guess when your story has so many magical dragons, being “almost magic” doesn’t quite cut it anymore. Her father was a rogue NightWing who ran away feeling guilty over things that didn’t even really seem to happen? He ran away from his tribe, his family, and his life, a coward.
Sunny doesn’t think much of her father. He’s given up on everything, too stuck in his own dwelling and self detriment to do anything worthwhile. 
Now Queen Thorn... Thorn is a ruthless mob boss who killed a child to intimidate two other children. But it’s okay, because the Scorpion Den has some odd order that sounds like it’s lovely, in reality, where children eat first and get the freshest water. As long as you don’t mouth off Thorn.Thorn should be Sunny’s foil. A dragoness who gave up on pacifism because she’s seen the reality of the world. She thinks that there is no other way but violence. And, unfortunately, she butts heads with her daughter and thinks of her as naiive and unsuccessfully hopeful for the future, despite proving her wrong with the end of the war.
Sunny being a Princess is a fate that she, personally, denies. She focuses on her own school and her friends, for her parents make it difficult for her to take pride in her heritage. There’s NightWing traitor and a criminal SandWing she made the Queen. Who has the love of her people because of her intimidation? But not her intimidation. She’s also a good person?
Sunny sees through her and understands who she is and where she came from. But she doesn’t believe in peace through non-violence. And for that, she stays out of her line of sight, letting children who do look up to her feign royalty, like Qibli. 
Miscellaneous thoughts
Sunny’s real name is “Sun Beetle.” One of Thorn’s favorite options when she mused the name ideas to her dragons. She tapped Sunny’s egg and called the hatchling inside her Beetle and when Dune reluctantly snatched her egg for the sake of the prophecy, without missing a beat, he told the other guardians the hatchling would be named Sun Beetle. Eventually, growing up with her siblings, it was condensed to sweet little Sunny, where most people know her by.
Sunny is an optimist, despite the world beating her to the point where she even does begin to doubt herself. She’s been shown the ugliness of the world, the pain dragons go through, the mental manipulations parents will put their children through, and she remains hopeful despite of it. Yet, when she does feel like the world is getting too much for her, she always confides in Clay. He’s not the most articulate when it comes to comforting, but his warm hugs and ear to listen (and later on his growing knowledge of physical and mental health) truly does help her cope with the small terrors of the war she experienced after a totally sheltered life.
Sunny ends up being the Headmaster of Jade Mountain Academy. Less so a school focused on “founding peace” but more directed towards unbiased teaching of history, lore, and information about dragon biology. She avoids teaching any form of violence and shies away from the most recent history, due to controversy among the child soldiers who are still traumatized from the war and their eventual children who only know the terrible stories they tell. She focuses on the shared history between the tribes that went relatively unspoken while the tribes were versed in propaganda and hatred for their enemies.
Sunny is terrified of animus dragons. She will never admit it, but the idea of being related to Darkstalker, to Stonemover, to have that itch for power and domination and window or manipulation crawling in her veins... it terrifies her. She loves Anemone and understands the struggle she goes through and wants to be a good aunt figure for her, but she can’t help but be unnerved when she’s around her. Something that makes her feel guilty and selfish for.
Sunny avoids most royalty, not wanting to be seen as a universal peacekeeper from now until the rest of time. She has been through enough and wants to focus on her true passions nowadays. But she is a main consultant for her sibling Queen Glory. She senses that Glory genuinely appreciates her opinions and has grown past her snappy, cutting-her-off nature and is more thoughtful and considerate now that she doesn’t have anything to prove.
LGBT+ headcanons
Sunny is aromatic, asexual, and genderless! She still uses she/her pronouns, but she finds gender irrelevant and doesn’t quite appreciate gender roles or expectations put upon the dragons of Pyrrhia, especially with the toxic beliefs of royalty. She is simply comfortable in her own scales despite everyone in her life trying to tell her otherwise.
She is also immensely comfortable not feeling romantic attraction for other dragons. Like Clay, the bonds of friendship she makes with her siblings is already worth so much to her, and the idea of being able to be a good rolemodel for the dragonets of Jade Mountain and the future is much more fulfilling to her.

The Hybrid Group
The Hybrid Group.
By MoonWatcher-but-bish-mode
These characters belong to me. The Dragonets belong to Tui. Jade Mountain belongs to Tui. Almost everything belongs to Tui except the characters.
This takes place after Moon’s time at Jade Mountain.
“Sphinx. You HAVE to tell him!” Starfruit growled out of the corner of her mouth. Sphinx shook his head. No. Starfruit sighed. He won’t ever do it… StarFruit was a hybrid. Just like the others. She was part of an event at Jade Mountain, called The Hybrid Group. StarFruit was a NightWing/RainWing mix. Her parents were Queen Glory of the Rainwings and Deathbringer, a NightWing assassin. She didn’t have any siblings, but her friends were better than that. StarFruit was a dark purple, and had more marks than an average RainWing. Her best friend was Sphinx, a NightWing/SandWing hybrid, with his parents both famous Starflight and Sunny. Starflight had lost his eyesight, and Sunny was a hybrid herself. Sphinx had 2 siblings, Dune, a male black dragon with a barb named after one of his parents’ guardians, and Smoke, a male dragon that looked just like Sunny. Sphinx pretty much looked like a regular SandWing, but he had black scales under his wings. He was Transgender, born a girl but decided to be a boy. Sometimes he was bullied for it, but nothing too bad, because his grandmother was the queen of SandWings.
StarFruit sighed again. Primrose, the history teacher, was talking about how Sunny had managed to get Blister, Blaze, and Burn to meet up. Sphinx rolled his eyes, and glared at StarFruit. A SkyWing glanced over. “Shhh!” She whispered, glaring at Sphinx. Sphinx stuck out his tongue. The gong sounded for lunch. “3 moons, Star, stop telling me to ask him out! When you know you wanna ask out Crane!” Sphinx hissed at StarFruit. “Fine. But if you do it, I’ll do it,” StarFruit muttered. “Go on then!” Sphinx hissed, rolling his eyes. “Ok. I will.” StarFruit walked over to her friend Crane. Crane was also a part of THG, as she was an IceWing/MudWing mix. “Hi Star! What’re you up to?” Crane waved. StarFruit said, “Well. Follow me. Let’s go to the lake.” The lake was a glowing underground pond, found by Turtle, a SeaWing. There was a hole above the middle, and you could see the sky from it. Crane blinked, and walked beside StarFruit. When they got there, StarFruit turned to Crane. “Crane. Would you go hunting with me?” So much for formality. StarFruit thought. “Oh! Uh. L- like a date?” Crane asked, flustered. “Yeah.” StarFruit muttered. “That.” Crane’s eyes widened. “Uh. Sure!”
StarFruit sighed. “Yay! Ooh, I can’t wait to see Sphinx’s face.” Crane blinked. “Why?” StarFruit smirked. “Sphinx likes Magma. He just won’t admit it. So I told him to ask Magma out, and he was like nah I’ll pass.
“Then he said ‘I’ll do it if you do it!’ And I said ok.” StarFruit exhaled. “Oh,” Crane sifted some water in her talons. “Magma actually dared me to do it too.” StarFruit had a goofy smile on her face. Crane snickered. Then they both burst out laughing. “WHAT ARE THE ODDS?!” StarFruit yell-asked. When the laughing subsided, Crane said, “Ok, well. I said yes! Do you think that counts as asking you out?” StarFruit shrugged. “I guess. Let’s go back.” They walked back, and Lunch was almost over. They ran to the prey center, still giggling occasionally. When they got there, Crane yelled over the noise. “There!” She pointed to Sphinx and Magma, yelling at each other over a goat. The 2 girls walked over to the 2 boys. “I SAW IT FIRST!” Sphinx was yelling. “AND WHO CAUGHT IT?!” Magma shouted back. “Boys, boys,” StarFruit sighed. “There are more goats.” Crane nodded, claws in her ears. StarFruit grabbed 4 mangoes, and handed 2 to Crane, and tore the skin off her first mango. “Sphinx! I did iiiit,” StarFruit grabbed Sphinx’s claw and pulled him away. “Your turn!” She smirked. “No, I can’t. What if he rejects me?” Sphinx blushed and frowned. “That was the deal. Take it or leave it,” StarFruit smirked. “FINE!” Sphinx hissed at StarFruit. “But if I get rejected, then I expect you to nurse me back to health, with your own claws.” Sphinx muttered. “YES!” StarFruit smirked and walked back to Crane. “He’s gonna do it!” She whispered. Crane grinned and whispered back, “And I bet you a mango that Magma will say yes.” They both giggled. “Magma, follow me.” Sphinx murmured at Magma. Magma blinked, and obeyed. Crane and StarFruit grinned at each other, and ate their mangoes. When the 2 boys came back, Sphinx was grinning and was flushed, and Magma was blushing. “You owe me a mango!” StarFruit smirked at Crane. They both giggled.
When school was dismissed, Crane, Magma, Sphinx, and StarFruit went back to their cave. They were walking and just chatting. “We should go on a double date! Like we can all go hunting together by the mountains!” StarFruit said. “Omg yes!” Crane said. “I guess,” Magma muttered, his face in a scroll. “I mean, sure.” “Ok, that sounds fun,” Sphinx said. Then a TreeWing bumped into StarFruit. “Sorry! Sorry!” She hastily apologized. “I wasn’t looking!” “It’s ok. Me neither. Oh! You’re Leif, right? The TreeWing? In THG?” StarFruit remembered the small green dragon from the first meet. “Y-yup. That’s me!” Leif murmured. “Sorry again, bye!” She pushed past in a hurry. “Huh. That was weird.” StarFruit sighed. Will anyone talk to us?  Because they were dragonets of famous dragons, people tended to be a little frightened. Maybe they were scared of them being the same dragons as Icicle and Winter, Crane's mother and Uncle. Maybe they were frightened that because they were famous, they would be stuck up. If so, neither rumors were true. They started walking again, and soon another dragon hit their side. “OH SORRY!” Another hybrid. This time she was RainWing/Seawing. “Oh hi Lotus!” Crane greeted the other dragonet. “Have you seen Leif?” Lotus asked, distracted. “Oh. Yeah he went that way.” StarFruit pointed backwards. “THANKS!” Lotus called, running away. “That was weird x2,” Crane tilted her head.
When they got to their dorms, the 2 girls waved to Magma and Sphinx, and entered the cave. There was a hammock, a stone bed, a big sandbox, and a moss bed. Crane yawned, and went to lay down on the hammock. StarFruit crawled into the moss bed. A few minutes later, Lotus walked in, and plopped down in the sand.
Sphinx yawned. My life is so complicated. He thought, itching his back. Magma yawned, and sat up. “Morning Sphinx, sleep well?” Magma murmured, putting a small box, and a bracelet in a leather pouch, which he slung over his head. “You could say that.” Sphinx responded. “Let’s get the female demons.” Magma chuckled. “Lead the way, prince.” They walked out of their cave after Magma tidied his hammock.
“Sphinx? You ok?” Star whispered at the other hybrid. “Huh?! Oh. Y-yeah I’m fine!” Sphinx started, looking around. Starfruit giggled, and shook her head. “Sandwing. You are obviously not fine.” “Not… I’m not a SandWing.” Sphinx murmured. “Whatever.” StarFruit sighed.
“Heyyyy!” Crane entered, Magma on her tail.
“Mm. Hey.” Magma mumbled. “Hi! Are you guys ready?” Starfruit exclaimed happily. “Yup!” Crane sighed. “Magma has been quiet all day.” She stuck out her tongue. “Haha, let’s just go.” Sphinx muttered. Starfruit, Magma, Sphinx, and Crane flew out. “Where are we going!?” Magma called. “I found something last night!” Crane called back. Crane swooped down, and landed on a large boulder. “COME ON!” She yelled up. Starfruit landed on the ground next to the boulder. She looked around at the back. “Whaaat?” She said loudly. “What what?” Sphinx said, landing beside her. “Oh. That’s what.” The boulder had a huge hole in it. It radiated power and magic. “Weird.” Magma whispered. “Follow me. Let’s go to the rainforest. There’s a bunch of fruit there,” Crane said happily. “Coming… into the weird boulder hole. Yippee.” Sphinx said sarcastically. “Shut up,” StarFruit sighed. Sphinx blinked. Magma chuckled dryly.
Chapter 2
“La Dee laaaaa!” Sunny sang happily, walking back to the school boulder. Scraaaaaape. Scraaaaape. Hckugh. Hckugh. Hckugh. Scraaaaape. Sunny froze, melting into a sand dune. Sunny held her breath as a dark brown RainWing limped out. ‘Oh. It’s Fade. The RainWing that grew up on the NightWing island…’ Sunny thought. Hckugh. Fade’s head shot up, and stared around. Sunny closed her eyes. The scraping was getting louder. Sunny opened her eyes, and stared into Fades yellow ones. Fade raised her claws and snarled. ‘Please.’ Sunny thought desperately. ‘Please!’ “Hey! Who’s that?!” A loud voice shouted. Fade didn’t turn. A small dragon ran up, and Fade dropped. “Sunny?” Crane asked in wonder. “Crane… what are you doing here in the desert?” “We're going to the rainforest to hunt.” Crane said. “We?” StarFruit and Sphinx walked up. Crane backed off, and Sunny stood up. “What were you doing here?” StarFruit asked. Sunny shook her head. “I was seeing Thor- my mother.” StarFruit sighed. “Who was the brown dragon?” Sunny paled slightly. “I knew him as Fade. That really wasn’t.” “Wasn't? That dragon- Fade- who is he?” “Was. Who was he? He's dead.” “No, he’s knocked out. I just hit his shoulder.” Crane said quietly. “He’s breathing, at least.” StarFruit muttered something. Sunny blinked. “Fade is the prince of the RainWings. Well, kind of. He’s Glory’s cousin. That dragon is not Fade. Not even close.”
Chapter 3?
“WHAT?!” Constellation roared at Sunny. Sunny flinched, and explained again. “A dragon tried to kill me! He looked like Fade but he wasn’t!” Constellation growled.
Chapter 3
It was raining. Starfruit sighed happily.  Crane came up behind her and put down a pile of fruit. “Queen Glory wants to see you about Fade.” Crane murmured. Starfruit sighed. “What about Sunny..?” Starfruit asked. “Glory is mad. Really mad. And smug. Deathbringer is worried. Clay is eating somewhere.” Crane answered. “Sunny is shaken. She’s at her little hut with Starflight.” The raindrops slid off Starfruit’s wings. Her markings turned a bright magenta color. “Your mother is pretty on edge. You should probably go see her,” Crane said. She flicked her tail, sending raindrops everywhere. “Fine.” Starfruit sighed, shook out her wings, and took off, swooping towards the queens pavilion. “Glory! Chill! The moons! Stop!!” Deathbringer yelled. “I WILL NOT CHILL. SUNNY WAS ALMOST ATTACKED BY SOMEDRAGON!” Glory roared back. Starfruit landed. “Mother, Crane said you-” “GLORY OW.” Deathbringer yelped as she swatted his hand back. “STAR! What happened?!” Glory said fiercely. She ran over to where Starfruit had landed, shaking her head to clear it out. “Uhhhhhh…”
After Starfruit had explained, Glory went silent. “LIANA!” She finally roared. “Yes, your majesty?” The purple and yellow dragon appeared out of nowhere beside Starfruit. “Find me Fade.” Glory ordered, waving her talon towards Fade’s hut. “Bring her back here.” Deathbringer snuck up behind Glory. “KINKAJOU!” Kinkajou flew down from her perch. “Yes, Best friend Glory!” Kinkajou saluted. Starfruit snickered. Glory shot her dragonet a glare. “Go get Grandeur.” Kinkajou saluted again and shot off to the old palace hut. Liana came back with Fade, leading the blind Rainwing back to Glory. “Thanks. Fade?” Glory turned her scales pale gray, erasing any anger or emotions on her face. Fade turned toward the queen's voice, her white eyes blinking. “Yes, your majesty?” Fade said slowly. “What have you been doing for the past day?” Glory said calmly.
“Uh. I’ve been in my hut, reading and writing. I only go out for food and water.” Fade said slowly, obviously confused. “Hrmmm…” Glory murmured. “Glory?” Deathbringer asked loudly, making Glory jump. “What?” “Star said there was a… breathing problem with the dragon.
