Hvitur

"You're a monster! We'll never give up. The dragonets - the dragonets will come and stop this war."

— Hvitur to Burn, Prologue of The Dragonet Prophecy

Template:Infobox Character Hvitur was a pale, moon-silver male IceWing with arctic blue eyes. Being a member of the Talons of Peace, he was a dragon who believed in and held hope for positive outcome of the Dragonet Prophecy. He was also supposed to be one of the Guardians of the Dragonets, unfortunately he was caught on his way back to their secret cave and savagely killed by Burn by shredding his wing membranes and then stabbing him with her poisonous tail barb along with the prophesied SkyWing egg before he could return to the secret cave under the mountain in the SkyWing's territory. He is the possible protagonist of Winglets #4: Runaway.

Biography

Pre-Series

Hvitur, along with Kestrel, Webs, Dune, and Asha, were charged with the task to find and bring the dragonets of destiny's eggs to the caves under the mountain, along with the duty to protect and raise them for the task of fulfilling the prophecy Morrowseer made. Unfortunately, Hvitur died trying to deliver the SkyWing egg, and Asha died of her wounds shortly after delivering Clay's egg.

The Dragonet Prophecy

In the prologue, during the Talons of Peace's quest to steal the the dragonets' eggs, Hvitur was sent to retrieve the SkyWing egg. He broke into the SkyWing Palace to steal the prophesied "largest egg on mountain high." Unfortunately, on the way out, Burn and two of her guards pursued him, and knew it was the dragon Scarlet had warned Burn about. Burn ordered the two soldiers to bind scorching hot chains around Hvitur's jaws, preventing him from using his frost breath. During that time, she carelessly played with the SkyWing egg, and watched Hvitur plead desperately for its safety. This proved his faith in the prophecy, as well as his willingness to do whatever must be done to make it come true.

Annoyed and angry, Burn dramatically dropped the egg over the cliff and proceeded to torment him, saying that even if the dragonets do 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 back of the skull with her venom-tipped tail, before flinging him off the cliff. His screams stopped long before he hit the ground.

Some time later, Kestrel found the Hvitur's corpse at the bottom of the cliff, along with a few fragments of the shattered SkyWing egg. She entered the cave to tell Webs the news, and he informed her that Asha had died as well. Kestrel then stated that she should have gone to the SkyWing Palace to steal the egg herself, instead of sending Hvitur.

Escaping Peril

In the prologue, Queen Scarlet mentions that an IceWing thief broke into the palace and stole an egg, but was then killed by Burn. Though not mentioned by name, the scenario perfectly matches that of Hvitur's death.

Personality

Hvitur seems to be a dragon similar to Asha; one that believes in the goodness of dragons, and has great faith in the prophecy coming true. He dislikes violence, as he sees the war as unnecessary bloodshed. The other guardians seemed to rely on Hvitur and Asha to rear the dragonets as children, with Dune and Kestrel as only trainers, and Webs as their teacher.

Quotes

"The dragonets are coming, whether you like it or not, and they will choose who the next SandWing queen should be."

Hvitur: "You wouldn't. No one would harm a dragon egg."

Burn: " I guess that means you should be very, very careful with this terribly important little-oops!"

Hvitur: "You're a monster! We'll never give up. The dragonets - the dragonets will come and stop this war."
