Dusky

"You didn't lose your soul because magic ate it away slowly. You lost it because you chose to do terrible things, over and over again. Each terrible thing, each betrayal, each murder, added to this mountain. That's not the magic's fault. That's you. That's who you chose to be."

— Qibli to Darkstalker, Darkness of Dragons

Biography

The Lost Continent Prophecy

The Flames of Hope

Dusky was one of the many SilkWings hiding in the underground caverns. He stayed close to Luna when she arrived and told her that there were whispers in the dark saying, "You're mine now, little dragon." Later, Dusky is seen with Luna trying to sleep, though he startles awake several times. A dragon named Whitespeck comes to check on Dusky and reveals to Luna that Dusky’s mother was missing and his father was killed in a construction accident when he was only one. Luna is shocked that Dusky is alone, but Whitespeck informs her that since Dusky was the only one in his household, he was forced to work on Lady Bloodworm's construction projects.
