Biography

The Dragonet Prophecy

The Dragonet Prophecy

Crane was killed during a battle between the IceWings and the MudWings at the Diamond Spray Delta, part of the Mud Kingdom's border, which took place just two days before Clay and Glory reached the battlefield, leaving Clay to wonder how many of his siblings would still be alive when the war ended. She was killed the same day Clay fought Fjord in the SkyWing arena. Clay received news of Crane's death when he met his remaining siblings.

The Dark Secret

While patrolling the borders of the Mud Kingdom, Reed wondered if Crane would still be alive if Clay had been their bigwings instead of him. Reed did not like to think about the battle that killed Crane, as it made him feel as if "a huge pit had opened up inside of him that he just wanted to fall into." He felt terrible about it and did not want it to be true.

The Jade Mountain Prophecy
