Fjord

Clay vs Fjord

Fjord was a pale blue IceWing(his scales are described as "the color of sky-filled snow) with dark blue eyes. In The Dragonet Prophecy, he was pitted against Clay in the SkyWing Arena. He appeared to be intent on surviving, as before he fought against Clay, he had killed four others in arena matches.  According to the book, Fjord was 'only a head taller than Clay, but looked "scarier and older".  Clay first tried to reason with Fjord when they were thrown into the arena together, Fjord seemed very annoyed when Clay would try to reason, then reluctantly fought him, surprising him with SkyWing tactics he had learned from Kestrel rather than an expected MudWing's. Starflight tried to tell Clay about their death breath by pointing to his mouth but Clay quickly learned this when Fjord breathed his death breath at Clay, brushing his wing. Eventually, Fjord pinned Clay and was about to kill him when Tsunami flung herself off of her spire, causing a diversion. This distracted Fjord and also bought time for Glory to spray venom into the IceWing's eye, which led to his quick and horrible death. No one knew it was Glory until she sprayed venom at Queen Scarlet making them remember Fjord. Little else is known of Fjord's life, although he was presumably one of the IceWing allies of Blaze before being captured by Queen Scarlet.

Trivia

• Glory based her IceWing disguise, to enter Blaze's Fortress, off of Fjord.
• The word 'fjord' originates from the Old Norse language. It is the word for a long, narrow inlet of the ocean.
