However, he is captured by [[Burn]], one of the three contenders for the throne of the [[SandWings]].

===Part One: Under the Mountain===


The timeline speeds up to six years later, with [[Clay]], the MudWing dragonet, reflecting on his position and importance. However, he does this during a training battle with Kestrel. Kestrel taunts him and then pins him. Before she can do any more harm to him, the powerful [[SeaWing]], [[Tsunami]], bites Kestrel's tail, yanking out a scale. Thanking Tsunami, Clay reflects on their desire to leave the cave and make their own life. After dinner, he later on pushes on the boulder blocking the exit, sadly reflecting on how he cannot move it.

The group begins to play out the death of Queen Oasis at a the hand of a [[scavanger|scavenger]], the spilt decision of Burn, [[Blister]], and [[Blaze]], and finally, the allegiances.

Kestrel interrupts this, rudely insulting them and calling Tsunami out. At that moment, the alarm goes off, signaling the message of the arrival of [[Morrowseer]]. Clay and Tsunami, the only two able to listen closely(becuase of thier ability to breathe underwater/hold there breathe for a long time), recall them mentioning Morrowseer telling the prophecy. Morrowseer arrives the following day, and as he inspects, he rudely calls out Glory, deeming her unworthy. Tsunami, Clay, and Sunny attack him, prompting him to accept them. Glory stays in her spot. However, he still calls out Starflight to have a private audience. The two leave, and the guardians turn on Tsunami. After Starflight returns, Clay speaks to him, noting his reluctance. He then hears Tsunami being chained, and he is forced to spy on the guardian to alone, and reveals the fact that they spy on the guardians to Sunny. He overhears them plot to kill Glory to appease Morrowseer. The group frantically decides to send Clay down the underground river to save her after much thought. Acting on advice from Starflight, he manages to get into a cavern full of glowworms, which he mistook for stars. He heard roaring, than was hit with a white substance that started to dissolve his scales. He falls unconscious, but is later roused by Tsunami, who cleanses him from the poison. Then the duo cascades over a waterfall. Having it revealed Tsunami wrenched her wing, he saves her and encounters mud, after which, Clay relocates Tsunami's wing against a tree. The pair then sees a [[scavenger]] with treasure, who is in turn killed by [[Queen Scarlet]]. The queen of the [[SkyWing]]s then asks them their purpose, and calls Tsunami a spy. Having weeded them out, she asks them to return with her. The pair impales her tail to the ground to escape, following a smoke signal to save the others. However, the signal attracts Scarlet too, and the entire group (minus [[Dune]], who is killed by Queen Scarlet, and Webs, who escapes) is taken hostage.

===Part Two===
===Part Two: In the Sky Kingdom===


The layout of the prisoners has them chained to rock spires in a circle over the arena. Clay is put on the opposite side of Tsunami and Staflight. He then realizes that Sunny and Glory were not taken to the arena. Worrying, he almost misses a female dragonet drop a charred pig in front of him. The pig promptly falls off the edge. He, sickened, throws up over the edge, to which the female laughs disgustingly. She asks him if he is going to eat, commenting she didn't want him to die before she had a chance to kill him. She tells him that, because they're allies, she has not fought a MudWing before, but the NightWing would be great. He asks her if she is a guard. She tells that her name is [[Peril]] , and he tells that if he asks Starflight for information about a scroll, He woludn't stop talking. She, not getting a joke, flies off to ask him. The following day, Peril goes into the arena, and she faces off against a [[SandWing]], named Horizon. Scarlet then reveals Glory, who is chained to a tree and appears to be drugged. She is forced to change color every minute, and is treated gently. Clay is forced to watch, as just a simple touch brands the poor SandWing. He worries about eventually having to face Peril, now knowing she had fire in her claws. Horizon throws himself into Peril for a quick death.

She tells him that, because they're allies, she has not fought a [[MudWings|MudWing]] before, but the [[NightWings|NightWing]] would be "blazing". He asks her if she is a guard. She tells that her name is [[Peril]] , and he tells her that if she asks [[Starflight]] for information about a scroll, He wouldn't stop talking. She, not getting a joke, flies off to ask him. The following day, [[Peril ]]goes into the arena, and she faces off against a [[SandWing]], named [[Horizon]]. [[Queen Scarlet|Scarlet]] then reveals [[Glory]], who is chained to a tree and appears to be drugged. She changes color every minute, and is treated gently. [[Clay]] is forced to watch, as just a simple touch from [[Peril]] menacingly burns [[Horizon]]. He worries about eventually having to face [[Peril]], now knowing she had fire in her claws. [[Horizon]] throws himself into [[Peril]] for a quick death.


That night, Peril returns. She tells him the story of having too much fire, that she killed her brother, and her mother abandoned her. He is terrified to learn that Starflight is next in line to fight, and he tells Peril to make it sound as if she has the idea to put [[Clay]]  in. After much resentment, [[Peril]]  agrees. That morning, guards escort him, Tsunami, and Starflight to Scarlet's chamber, and she asks why Clay wants to be put in. He denounces Tsunami and Starflight, so she puts him in. He is pitted against an [[IceWing]]: [[Fjord]]. The two begin to fight, Clay attempting to convince him he does not have to fight. Deciding to ignore him, Fjord attacks. Using [[SkyWing]] tactics, he surprises Fjord. However, he is still a bit of a sloppy fighter, getting pinned. In order to distract Fjord, Tsunami throws herself off of the ledge, nearly chocking and pulling all of the others off. At that moment, an unknown substance (now known to be Glory's venom) melts Fjord's face. Clay is taken away, re-chained, and once again confronted by Peril.

Peril decides to tell him where Sunny is if she is hidden behind him during [[Kestrel]]'s trial. He decides to, and realizes that Kestrel is Peril's mother. He fears what Kestrel will do when she realizes her daughter isn't dead. The following day, Scarlet, and another two dragons, Osprey and Vermilion, hosts Kestrel's trial. Scarlet is biased for Vermilion's side, the prosecution. However, Osprey tells the true story. In reality, Queen Scarlet had given Kestrel a chance to live if she killed one of her dragonets. Kestrel chose the male dragonet to kill, but Queen Scarlet changed her mind and chased Kestrel out.

[[Queen Scarlet|Scarlet]] is biased for [[Vermillion|Vermilion's]] side, the prosecution. He simply explains that [[Queen Scarlet|Scarlet]] gave an order, [[Kestrel]] disobeyed, and fled the [[Sky Kingdom]]. However, [[Osprey]] tells the true story. In reality, [[Kestrel]] was a loyal soilder and joined the breeding program and had an egg with two dragonets inside. One ([[Peril]]) had taken the all fire from the other ([[Peril's brother]]). As [[SkyWings|SkyWing]] custom, [[Kestrel]] was ordered to kill both and leave the breeeding program for the remainder of her life. [[Kestrel]] had tried to escape with the two dragonets, only to be caught by [[Queen Scarlet]] at the [[Diamond Spray River]]. [[Queen Scarlet|Scarlet]] explains that [[Kestrel]] had a chance to live if she killed one of her dragonets. She chooses the male dragonet to kill, but [[Queen Scarlet]] changed her mind. [[Kestrel]] tried to escape with [[Peril]], but was burned by touch and was forced to flee without her. That is why [[Kestrel]] is known to have burn scars on her palms.

Peril launches herself into the arena, defending Kestrel with the champion's shield, a tradition that allows her to stand for the prisoner by fighting a combatant in the arena. Scarlet figured out that Osprey has been telling Peril about things she did not want her to know. Scarlet, angered, kills Osprey, and dismisses her. That night, [[Burn]] arrives to collect Sunny and watch Scarlet's hatching day. Clay, in a futile attempt to communicate with Peril, uses a wire she burned through to start a song, [[The Dragonets are Coming|the dragonet's song]]. Finally, he gets all the arena to sing. Scarlet, angered takes him, Tsunami, and Starflight into Peril's room. Scarlet places rocks that burn in the entrance to assure they won't escape. Then, Starflight notices Peril, and uses her to escape the room. On the way out, they notice Sunny over the main hall. However, Peril betrays them. Clay accidentally touches Peril, realizing that he is immune to fire. Scarlet takes them back, and Starflight explains Clay's immunity. The following day, Tsunami is taken into the arena, and Clay and Starflight to the queen's balcony. Tsunami faces off against an insane [[SeaWing]], Gill, and kills him. Starflight is next, but the two refuse to fight. Finally, the two are forced to face Scavangers. Two are killed, and then are told then to face [[IceWings]]. At that moment, [[Morrowseer]] arrives, killing the IceWings, and then saves only Starflight. Scarlet, enraged, finally places Clay against Peril. Caught off guard, she is pinned (but Clay would obviously never kill her). Scarlet remarks, "Use your venom! That was thrilling, and I didn't even get to see it last time!" Then, Glory rears up, breaks her, and spits venom in her face, the same that killed Fjord.

Then, [[Glory]] rears up, breaks free of the tree, and spits venom at [[Burn]], who shoves [[Queen Scarlet|Scarlet]] in front of her. The venom hits [[Queen Scarlet|Scarlet's]] face, and the entire arena flees in terror.


In the pandemonium, the four dragons manage to escape into the main hall. Their, they use Peril to melt through the bars on Sunny's cage. An argument insures about Kestrel, with only Clay, Peril, and Sunny voting yes. They rescue her, and Clay decides to save a Scavenger. Then, Clay, Tsunami, Glory, and Sunny decide to swim towards the Mud Kingdom, where Clay is expected to find his family.

Kestrel abandons the dragonets, who use their camouflage skills to glide down the river. Tsunami then tells Glory to disappear, due to Clay unintentionally saying harmful things. Clay, stricken, tells them he would skip his home to find Glory. Glory, reassured, reveals herself, and then, after [[Clay]]  gets over being mad, they proceed to the outskirts. They overlook a battlefield, and then disappear into the kingdom. Clay and Glory go on, with Sunny and Tsunami staying behind. They encounter a group of battle training, and Clay learns his mother is [[Cattail]]. Then, they find her, and she rudely tells them that she does not care; she "sold''" ''Clay to the Talons of Peace. Crushed, he leaves, and then finds a SandWing asking for them. Fleeing, he and Glory encounters Clay's siblings, who explain who he is and why he attacked the eggs at hatching. At peace with himself, he leaves, and then the dragonets are met by Starflight, who explains that [[Queen Coral]] will be excited to meet Tsunami by the [[Kingdom of the Sea]].

There, Morrowseer tells Blister of his plan to use Starflight as an agent to convince the other dragonets that they should choose Blister to be the new SandWing queen. Kestrel asks what they are talking about, as she cannot hear them over the howling wind. They do not reply, and Blister then asks why the SkyWing is there. Kestrel responds that the NightWing said the dragonets were in danger. Morrowseer then implies that that was a ploy to get her to come to the island, and then states that she has failed him.

The Dragonet Prophecy is the first book in the Wings of Fire series, and features the MudWing dragonet Clay as the main protagonist, detailing the life for the past six years, and the escape and the capture of Clay and his friends by the SkyWing Queen, Scarlet.

Plot Synopsis

Prologue 

File:EscapebyLightning.png

The book begins with an IceWing, Hvitur, attempting to steal the SkyWing egg from Scarlet, the queen of the SkyWings in the prologue. However, he is captured by Burn, one of the three contenders for the throne of the SandWings. Due to her distrust of the prophecy, she decides to destroy the egg and kill Hvitur, an honorable member of the Talons of Peace by shredding his wings. Then Kestrel, another SkyWing, sees him and tells Webs and Dune, the other members of The Talons of Peace. It is then revealed that Asha, a MudWing, had died of wounds earlier, after delivering the MudWing egg that is the color of dragon's blood.

Part One: Under the Mountain

The timeline speeds up to six years later, with Clay, the MudWing dragonet, reflecting on his position and importance. However, he does this during a training battle with Kestrel. Kestrel taunts him and then pins him. Before she can do any more harm to him, the powerful SeaWing, Tsunami, bites Kestrel's tail, yanking out a scale. Thanking Tsunami, Clay reflects on their desire to leave the cave and make their own life. After dinner, he later on pushes on the boulder blocking the exit, sadly reflecting on how he cannot move it. Clay later

learns abput the boulders actual openning mechanism. Proceeding to studying with Sunny, an odd looking SandWing, he encounters Starflight, the brilliant, annoying and literal NightWing, and Glory, a beautiful RainWing substitute for the dead SkyWing, along with Tsunami, who is also there. The group begins to play out the death of Queen Oasis at a the hand of a scavenger, the spilt decision of Burn, Blister, and Blaze, and finally, the allegiances.

Kestrel interrupts this, rudely insulting them and calling Tsunami out. At that moment, the alarm goes off, signaling the message of the arrival of Morrowseer. Clay and Tsunami, the only two able to listen closely (becuase of thier ability to breathe underwater/hold there breathe for a long time), recall them mentioning Morrowseer telling the prophecy. Morrowseer arrives the following day, and as he inspects, he rudely calls out Glory, deeming her unworthy. He attacks Tsunami, and Clay and Sunny attack him, prompting him to accept them. Glory stays idle during the fight. However, Morrowseer calls out Starflight to have a private audience. The two leave, and the guardians turn on Tsunami. After Starflight returns, Clay speaks to him, noting his reluctance. Clay then sees Tsunami being chained, and she tells him to spy on the guardians. He overhears their plot to kill Glory to appease Morrowseer. The group frantically decides to send Clay down the underground river to save her after much thought. Acting on advice from Starflight, he manages to get into a cavern full of glowworms, which he mistook for stars. He heard roaring, than was hit with a white substance that started to dissolve his scales. He falls unconscious, but is later roused by Tsunami, who cleanses him from the poison. Then the duo cascades over a waterfall. Having it revealed Tsunami dislocated her wing, he saves her and encounters mud, after which, Clay relocates Tsunami's wing against a tree. The pair then sees a scavenger with treasure, who is in turn killed by Queen Scarlet. The queen of the SkyWings then asks them their purpose, and calls Tsunami a spy. Having weeded them out, she asks them to return with her. The pair impales her tail to the ground to escape, following a smoke signal to save the others. However, the signal attracts Scarlet too, and the entire group (minus Dune, who is killed by Queen Scarlet, and Webs, who escapes) is taken hostage.

Part Two: In the Sky Kingdom

The layout of the prisoners has them chained to rock spires in a circle over the arena. Clay is put on the opposite side of Tsunami and Starflight. He then realizes that Sunny and Glory were not taken to the arena. Worrying, he almost misses a female dragonet drop a charred pig in front of him. The pig promptly falls off the edge. Sickened, he throws up over the edge, to which the female laughs disgustingly. She asks him if he is going to eat, commenting she didn't want him to die before she had a chance to kill him. She tells him that, because they're allies, she has not fought a MudWing before, but the NightWing would be "blazing". He asks her if she is a guard. She tells that her name is Peril , and he tells her that if she asks Starflight for information about a scroll, He wouldn't stop talking. She, not getting a joke, flies off to ask him. The following day, Peril goes into the arena, and she faces off against a SandWing, named Horizon. Scarlet then reveals Glory, who is chained to a tree and appears to be drugged. She changes color every minute, and is treated gently. Clay is forced to watch, as just a simple touch from Peril menacingly burns Horizon. He worries about eventually having to face Peril, now knowing she had fire in her claws. Horizon throws himself into Peril for a quick death.

That night, Peril returns. She tells him the story of having too much fire, that she killed her brother, and her mother abandoned her. He is terrified to learn that Starflight is next in line to fight, and he tells Peril to make it sound as if she has the idea to put Clay in. After much resentment, Peril agrees. That morning, guards escort him, Tsunami, and Starflight to Scarlet's chamber, and she asks why Clay wants to be put in. He denounces Tsunami and Starflight, so she puts him in. He is pitted against an IceWing named Fjord. The fight officially begins, and Clay attemps to convince him he does not have to fight. Deciding to ignore him, Fjord attacks. Using SkyWing tactics, Clay surprises Fjord. However, he is still a sloppy fighter, getting pinned. In order to distract Fjord, Tsunami throws herself off of the ledge of her rock spire, nearly chocking and pulling all of the others off. At that moment, an unknown substance (now known to be Glory's venom) melts Fjord's face. Clay is taken away, re-chained, and once again confronted by Peril.

Peril decides to tell Clay where Sunny is if she could hide behind him during Kestrel's trial. He decides to, and realizes that Kestrel is Peril's mother. He fears what Kestrel will do when she realizes her daughter isn't dead, as she thought. The following day, Scarlet, and another two dragons, Osprey and Vermilion, hosts Kestrel's trial. Scarlet is biased for Vermilion's side, the prosecution. He simply explains that Scarlet gave an order, Kestrel disobeyed, and fled the Sky Kingdom. However, Osprey tells the true story. In reality, Kestrel was a loyal soilder and joined the breeding program and had an egg with two dragonets inside. One (Peril) had taken the all fire from the other (Peril's brother). As SkyWing custom, Kestrel was ordered to kill both and leave the breeeding program for the remainder of her life. Kestrel had tried to escape with the two dragonets, only to be caught by Queen Scarlet at the Diamond Spray River. Scarlet explains that Kestrel had a chance to live if she killed one of her dragonets. She chooses the male dragonet to kill, but Queen Scarlet changed her mind. Kestrel tried to escape with Peril, but was burned by touch and was forced to flee without her. That is why Kestrel is known to have burn scars on her palms.

Peril launches herself into the arena, defending Kestrel with the champion's shield, a tradition that allows her to stand for the prisoner by fighting a combatant in the arena. Scarlet figured out that Osprey's words had educated Peril of what had really happened to her mother. Scarlet, angered, kills Osprey and dismisses her. That night, Burn arrives to collect Sunny and celebrate Scarlet's hatching day. Clay, in a futile attempt to communicate with Peril, uses a wire she burned through to start a song, the dragonet's song. Finally, he gets all the arena to sing. Scarlet, angered, takes him, Tsunami, and Starflight into Peril's room. Scarlet places rocks that burn in the entrance to assure they won't escape. Then, Starflight notices Peril, and uses her to escape the room. On the way out, they notice Sunny over the main hall. However, Peril betrays them. Clay accidentally touches Peril, realizing that he is immune to fire. The SkyWing queen takes them back, and Starflight explains Clay's immunity. The following day, Tsunami is taken into the arena, and Clay and Starflight are taken to the queen's balcony. Tsunami faces off against an insane SeaWing, Gill, and pins him, explaining that she won without killing him. Queen Scarlet mocks her, and Tsunami snaps Gill's neck. Starflight is next, but the two refuse to fight. Finally, the two are forced to face scavangers. Two of the four are killed, and then are told then to face IceWings. At that moment, Morrowseer arrives, killing the IceWings, and then saves only Starflight. Scarlet, enraged, finally places Clay against Peril. Caught off guard by Clay's immunity, she is pinned. Scarlet remarks, "Use your venom! That was thrilling, and I didn't even get to see it last time!" Then, Glory rears up, breaks free of the tree, and spits venom at Burn, who shoves Scarlet in front of her. The venom hits Scarlet's face, and the entire arena flees in terror.

In the pandemonium, the four dragons manage to escape into the main hall. There, they use Peril to melt through the bars on Sunny's cage. An argument insures about saving Kestrel, with only Clay, Peril, and Sunny voting yes. They rescue her. Then, the four dragonets of destiny decide to swim towards the Mud Kingdom, where Clay is expected to find his family.

Part Three- An Egg the Color of Dragon Blood

Kestrel abandons the dragonets, who use their camouflage skills to glide down the river. They overlook a battlefield, and then disappear into the kingdom. Clay and Glory go on, with Sunny and Tsunami staying behind. They encounter a group of battle training, and Clay learns his mother is Cattail. Then, they find her, and she rudely tells them that she does not care; she "sold"  him to the Talons of Peace. Crushed, he leaves, and they encounter his siblings, who explain who he is and why he attacked the eggs at hatching. At peace with himself, he leaves, and then the dragonets are met by Starflight, who explains that Queen Coral will be excited to meet Tsunami by the Kingdom of the Sea.

Epilogue

That night, Morrowseer, Blister, and Kestrel meet on a small rocky island in the Kingdom of the Sea. There, Morrowseer tells Blister of his plan to use Starflight as an agent to convince the other dragonets that they should choose her to be the new SandWing queen. Kestrel asks what they are talking about, as she cannot hear them over the howling wind. They do not reply, and Blister then asks why the Kestrel is there. Kestrel responds that Morrowseer said the dragonets were in danger. He then implies that that was a ploy to get her to come to the island, and then states that she has failed him. Kestrel attempts to argue, saying that she works for the Talons of Peace - not Morrowseer. However, she is soon killed by Blister and nudged over the cliffside. After discarding Kestrel, Morrowseer and Blister then plan to eliminate Webs.
