The bombing of the Summer Palace was an event involving an attack on the Summer Palace, the SeaWings' hidden above water palace, by the SkyWings and MudWings. The attack was an act of the War of SandWing Succession in 5,011 AS by Burn's side, and led to the SeaWings backing out of the war and retreating to the Deep Palace.[1] The attack resulted in many SeaWing casualties and the descruction of the palace.[2]
Description
Crocodile, a MudWing working for the SkyWings, infiltrated the Talons of Peace and saved Webs when the Talons attempted to kill him, gaining his trust. She tricked him into returning to Queen Coral, which allowed the SkyWings to track him to discover the location of the Summer Palace. SkyWings firebombed the canopy and palace with burning logs (supplied by the MudWings) and dragonflame cacti, which destroyed the canopy and caused mass casualties. Commander Shark and several SeaWing soldiers fought back against the SkyWings, while other soldiers helped civilian SeaWings escape through the underwater tunnel, as the small exit led to chaos and panic. During the battle, the dragonets of destiny had a confrontation with Crocodile in which she revealed that she was working for the SkyWings and had infiltrated the Talons to find the Summer Palace. She was killed by Glory, who spat venom into her eyes so that they could escape. During the attack, Coral and Anemone threw the scrolls from the library level of the pavilion into the water to prevent them from going up in flames and filling the palace with smoke.
Following the attack, Queen Coral and the SeaWings retreated underwater and hid in the Deep Palace for the remainder of the war, despite their alliance with Blister.
