The Talons of Power ceremony is an event where all two-year-old SeaWing dragonets are tested to see whether they have animus magic.
Description
The ceremony was devised due to the catastrophic discovery of Albatross's power.[1] SeaWing dragonets are instructed to perform a simple task, such as moving a coconut with animus magic. Any SeaWing who successfully performs the task is then declared an animus dragon.
Timeline
- When Albatross was a dragonet, he accidentally enchanted a clam to bite all of Sapphire's claws off.[2] This event inspired the creation of the Talons of Power ceremony.
- During the first ceremony, Queen Lagoon had the dragonets command the water to turn to ice, which Albatross criticized in a letter to her.[3]
- During the second ceremony, Lagoon commanded Albatross to create a display of magic to inspire any animus dragonets, but instead scared them.[3]
- Fathom participated in the third ceremony. He successfully ordered the coconut to hit Albatross and was declared an animus dragon.[4]
- Turtle purposefully made himself sick at two years old and did not participate in the event.[5] No animus was announced that year.
- When Turtle turned three, Queen Coral was guarding Anemone's egg and King Gill was taken by SkyWing forces. The ceremony was canceled for that year,[5] and the dragonets meant to take the test that year presumably took it the next year.
- Turtle participated at four years old. He knew he was an animus and did not want to receive attention, so he enchanted Anemone to be an animus.[6] She successfully ordered the coconut to float and was declared an animus dragon, thus ending the ceremony.
