|
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 was seen with Luna trying to sleep, though he startled awake several times. A dragon named Whitespeck came to check on Dusky and revealed to Luna that Dusky’s mother was missing and his father was killed in a construction accident when he was only one. Luna was shocked that Dusky was alone, but Whitespeck informed her that since Dusky was the only one in his household, he was forced to work on Lady Bloodworm's construction projects. Dusky was later taken by Vole into the Abyss, forcing Luna to go after him. In the Abyss, Dusky and Luna encountered the skeletons of Cottonmouth and Lizard who showed them through the mindspace of events happening in real time and the origins of the Scorching. More flying in soon... |
Relationships
He seems to love his father and misses him dearly. When he was reunited with his mother, she began crying and smothered him in hugs, showing that she loves him, which appears to be mutual.
Dusky loves Bumblebee's ferocity, and Bumblebee is easier at bedtimes when they have sleepovers.[9]
Upon first seeing Luna, Dusky bolted straight to Luna's talons and looked up at her with hopeful,[2] awestruck eyes.[1] She was sympathetic towards him upon seeing his scars and realizing that he had worked as a construction apprentice,[2] and he eventually edged so close to her that he was nearly sitting on her talon.[12] When Dusky realized that Luna was planning to leave the SilkWing refugee camp, he suddenly jumped forward and wrapped his claws around her leg, pressing his face into her scales and pleading with Luna to let him stay with her. She felt a stab of sad, familiar sympathy towards him, and touched his head lightly whilst asking if anyone would be looking for him if he were to come with her.[3] Luna then curved one wing around him, assuring that he could of course stay with her, and she then gave him flamesilk to light his path.[7] Although Dusky is twitchy and startled her several times during the night by jerking himself awake, she could not bring herself to send him away,[8]
Dusky seemed to like Freedom, and had more of a positive relationship with her than Luna did, saying that she was funny and interesting. He had a belief that she was a good dragon, and honored her at death.
Whitespeck checked on Dusky as he was sleeping beside Luna, and spoke softly when he mentioned the state of Dusky's family.[13] He would have liked to adopt Dusky, if the HiveWings had allowed him to do so, and made sure that Dusky got something to eat while they were living in the SilkWing refugee camp.[14]
