Template:Infobox LocationThe NightWing tunnels, also referred to as "portals" in the series, were created by the NightWing animus Stonemover, and were used by the NightWings to make traveling to and from their island and to other locations easier. There are currently two known portals, both with one side in the Rainforest Kingdom. One leads to the NightWings' destroyed island, and the other leads to the Kingdom of Sand.
The portals seem to give dragons a tingling feeling in their scales when they are near, described as an "awkward wrongness" and that the portals gave off the "I shouldn't be here" feeling, possibly a result of animus magic. They are also described to be strangely pitch black on the inside.
Description
The tunnel to the NightWing island is scorching. A layer of ash covers the floor, and the space is so dark that it is nearly impossible to see, with faint gray light scraping the walls on either side. The huge shape of Morrowseer's corpse looms overhead, its wings outstretched and its talons reaching forward.[1] Around the body, there is a tunnel that Winter could barely squeeze into and a floor of cooled lava that is still warm.[2]
History
The tunnels were created approximately two years before the dragonets of destiny (Clay, Tsunami, Glory, Starflight, and Sunny) hatched. Stonemover is revealed to be the creator. Shortly after the dragonets of destiny were introduced to the RainWing village, they discovered a strange tunnel inside a boulder, curtained with moss and leading to a location just miles away from Burn's stronghold.
When the NightWings captured Glory and fourteen other RainWings, they were taken through another portal in a tree that leads to the NightWing island. She eventually escaped the NightWings with the help of Clay and Deathbringer via the Rainforest-NightWing island tunnel. Later, she led her army through this portal to the NightWing island. Both portals are presently still intact.
After Stonemover made them, however, he flew away to Jade Mountain to live the rest of his days as a hermit without using any of his powers and turned the loss of soul into a loss of scales, resulting in about half of his body becoming cold, unmovable stone.
Trivia
- The tunnels give off a weird sensation like they aren't supposed to be there, and this sensation of "wrongness" grows stronger as you step farther into the tunnels, as described by the dragonets of destiny. This was most likely another part of the enchantment so that no other dragons would want to look into it.
- This could also be from the animus magic on its own.
- Their purpose was to let NightWings make it quickly to the mainland (specifically the rainforest) and hunt. The volcanic island they live on has very little prey and the rainforest is an alternate source. This is also shown when the dragonets find a decaying sloth outside of the forest, which is how NightWings usually hunt. Although it was probably not created intentionally for this purpose, the NightWings also planned to take the Rainforest Kingdom by force due to the horrid conditions on their island using this tunnel.
