He was killed by Burn alongside the prophesied SkyWing egg during his escape from Queen Scarlet's palace.

Biography

Pre-Series

Hvitur, Kestrel, Webs, Dune, and Asha were in charge of bringing the dragonets of destiny's eggs to the caves under the mountain, along with the duty to protect and raise them for the job of fulfilling the prophecy Morrowseer had foretold. Unfortunately, Asha died of her wounds shortly after delivering Clay's egg, and Hvitur was in the middle of escaping the SkyWing palace when Burn caught and killed him, stabbing him in the back of his head with her tail barb. Burn also destroyed the SkyWing egg he was supposed to deliver.

The Dragonet Prophecy

The Dragonet Prophecy

In the prologue, Hvitur had broken into the SkyWing palace and stolen the prophesied egg. The largest guards pursued him, knowing it was the dragon Scarlet had warned Burn about. He was caught, and Burn had hot chains wrapped around his snout, preventing him from using his frostbreath. Hvitur pleaded for her not to break the SkyWing egg.

Burn dramatically dropped the egg over the cliff, pretending that it slipped through her talons, and proceeded to torment him, saying that even if the dragonets did save the world, it would be far too late for him. She shredded Hvitur's wings after the IceWing desperately tried to leap after the egg. She then stabbed him in the back of the skull with her venom-tipped tail before flinging him off the cliff. His screams stopped long before he hit the ground.

Sometime later, Kestrel found Hvitur's corpse at the cliff's bottom, along with a few fragments of the shattered SkyWing egg.

When the dragonets escaped the SkyWing palace near the end of the second act, Kestrel indirectly mentioned Hvitur when she talked about how Peril was not the "wings of sky" in the prophecy.
