'''Fjord''' was a male [[IceWings|IceWing]] who fought for [[Ex-Princess Blaze|Princess Blaze]] under the command of [[Queen Glacier]] during the [[War of The SandWing Succession|war]]. However, he was captured and became a prisoner of war under [[Ex-Queen Scarlet|Queen Scarlet]] when the [[SkyWings]] and [[MudWings]] were fighting against the [[IceWings]]. In ''[[The Dragonet Prophecy]]'', he was pitted against [[Clay]] in the [[Queen_Ruby's_Palace#SkyWing_Arena|SkyWing Arena]], the day before [[Queen Scarlet]]'s hatching day. Fjord appeared to be intent on surviving in addition to being a good fighter, as before the match against [[Clay]], he had killed four other prisoners in arena matches. He was about to kill [[Clay]], when [[Queen Glory|Glory]] spat venom at him. The venom killed him, entering his bloodstream through a cut on his neck and his eye, which was the first thing to disintegrate. Later, in ''[[The Hidden Kingdom]]'', when [[Glory]] disguises herself as an IceWing, she uses [[Fjord]] as a model.

== Appearance ==
== Personality ==
Fjord was described with pale-blue scales "the color of the sky filled snow"{{Ref|TDP|156}} and silvery, strangely tough wings{{Ref|TDP|160}}. His eyes were a slightly deeper, darker blue{{Ref|TDP|156}}, a long claw scratch mark ran down his neck, and he had a blue forked tongue like all IceWings. Fjord was only a head taller than Clay but looked scarier and older, as he had many scars on his head and neck from previous battles in the SkyWing Arena. 
Fjord appeared to be intent on surviving the arena and did not hesitate to attack his opponents, even Clay, who was a [[dragonet]] at the time. As determined as he was to survive, he also chose to play fairly, insisting that Clay stop talking before Scarlet killed them both.{{Ref|TDP|156}} Fjord won two arena battles with only one injury, suggesting he was a skilled fighter, like many other IceWings. He fought strategically, which became clear when he exclaimed that Clay did not fight like a [[MudWing]], revealing he likely judged how his opponent would fight him based on their tribe.

Clay briefly wondered whether Kestrel would say he fought like a SkyWing. Eventually, Fjord pinned Clay to the ground and was about to kill him when Tsunami flung herself off of her spire, causing a diversion (dragging off many prisoners) and distracting Fjord momentarily. The act could have killed Tsunami and many prisoners. Most of the dragons in the arena were either flying towards her or staring in her direction.

Distracted by the diversion, there was enough time for Glory to spray venom into the IceWing's already-scratched-and-scarred neck, face, and eye, which led to his extremely painful death since [[RainWing]] venom kills a dragon faster if it lands in eyes or enters his bloodstream. Also because of the distraction, Clay was the only one who saw Glory's venom, so all the SkyWings, MudWings, and [[SandWings]] watching thought that Clay had killed Fjord instead.

"What is wrong with you? [...] That's not how MudWings fight! I was trained in your techniques!"
— Fjord to Clay while fighting him, The Dragonet Prophecy

Fjord was an adult male IceWing who was introduced in The Dragonet Prophecy. Before being imprisoned by Scarlet, he fought as a soldier for Blaze during the War of SandWing Succession. He was killed by Glory's venom when it entered his eyes and opened wounds during combat with Clay in the SkyWing arena.

Description

Fjord had pale,[1] glacier-blue[2] scales the color of sky reflected in snow,[3] slightly darker blue eyes,[1] and silvery, strangely tough wings,[4] as well as a long tail, sharp claws,[5] and icicle-sharp teeth.[1] He was a head taller than Clay, but appeared older and scarier. A long claw scratch ran down his neck, with dried blood coating the scales surrounding it.[1]

Personality

Fjord appeared to be intent on surviving the arena and did not hesitate to attack his opponents, even Clay, who was a dragonet at the time. As determined as he was to survive, he also chose to play fairly, insisting that Clay stop talking before Scarlet killed them both.[1] Fjord won two arena battles with only one injury, suggesting he was a skilled fighter, like many other IceWings. He fought strategically, which became clear when he exclaimed that Clay did not fight like a MudWing, revealing he likely judged how his opponent would fight him based on their tribe.

Biography

The Dragonet Prophecy

The Dragonet Prophecy
Fjord fighting Clay

Clay first tried to reason with Fjord when they were thrown into the arena together, which agitated the IceWing. Fjord was very intent on winning the fight because that would mean he would be set free. Clay then reluctantly fought him, surprising him with SkyWing tactics he had learned from Kestrel under the mountain. Starflight tried to warn Clay about the IceWing's freezing frostbreath by pointing to his mouth and jumping around. Clay only got the message just in time right before Fjord exhaled the frostbreath and barely hit Clay's wing - he thought: "Fjord was definitely doing something with his mouth - and it wasn't smiling."

Clay then spurted fire in Fjord's face, causing him to shriek in agony. After Clay rolled under him and slashed his belly, Fjord yelled at him that he did not fight like a MudWing. Clay briefly wondered whether Kestrel would say he fought like a SkyWing. Eventually, Fjord pinned Clay to the ground and was about to kill him when Tsunami flung herself off of her spire, causing a diversion (dragging off many prisoners) and distracting Fjord momentarily. The act could have killed Tsunami and many prisoners. Most of the dragons in the arena were either flying towards her or staring in her direction.

Glory's venom killing Fjord
Distracted by the diversion, there was enough time for Glory to spit venom into the IceWing's already-scratched-and-scarred neck, face, and eye, which led to his extremely painful death since RainWing venom kills a dragon faster if it lands in the eyes or enters the bloodstream. Also because of the distraction, Clay was the only one who saw Glory's venom, so all the SkyWings, MudWings, and SandWings watching thought that Clay had killed Fjord instead.
The Hidden Kingdom
When Glory was disguised as an IceWing to get into Blaze's fortress, she somewhat modeled Fjord, the prisoner she secretly killed in the arena who was pitted against Clay. Clay winced when he saw the IceWing disguise, and Glory guessed Clay knew who she based her colors on. When Glory taught Jambu how to change into an IceWing disguise, she has him imitate her imitating Fjord before she had him alter it. Jambu was very impressed with how pretty IceWing scales were.
The Dark Secret
When Mastermind showed Starflight his RainWing venom studies, Starflight thought back to the dragons he had seen it kill, like Crocodile and Fjord.
