Hvitur

"You're a monster! We'll never give up. The dragonets - the dragonets will come and stop this war."

— Hvitur to Burn after she throws the SkyWing egg off of the cliff

• 

Hvitur was a pale, moon-silver IceWing with arctic blue eyes. Being a member of the Talons of Peace, he was a dragon who deeply believed in and held hope for the Dragonet Prophecy. He was also supposed to be one of the Guardians of the Dragonets, but was caught on his way back and savagely killed by Burn along with the unfortunate prophesied SkyWing egg before he could return to the secret cave under the mountain in the SkyWing's territory.

Biography

Pre-Series

Hvitur, along with Kestrel, Webs, Dune, and Asha, were charged with the task to find and bring the dragonets of destiny's eggs to the caves under the mountain and to protect and raise them. Unfortunately, Hvitur died trying to deliver the SkyWing egg and Asha died of her wounds shortly after delivering Clay's egg because she was caught in a battle between Blister and Blaze's forces on the way to the cave.

The Dragonet Prophecy

In the prologue during their quest to steal the the dragonets' eggs, Hvitur was sent to retrieve the SkyWing egg. He broke into the SkyWing Palace to steal the prophesied "largest egg on mountain high." Unfortunately, on the way out, Burn and two of her guards noticed him, and knew it was the dragon Scarlet had told Burn about. Burn ordered the two soldiers to bind Hvitur with scorching hot chains around his jaws, preventing him from using his frost breath to kill or injure her. During that time, she tossed and played with the SkyWing egg, and watched Hvitur plead desperately for its safety, which proved his belief and faith in the prophecy as well as his willingness to do whatever must be done to make it come true.

Annoyed and angry, Burn dramatically dropped the egg over the cliff and proceeded to torment him saying that even if the dragonets do save the world, it would be far too late for him. She shredded Hvitur's wings after the IceWing desperately tried to save the egg, stabbing the back of his skull with her venom-tipped tail and flinging him off the cliff. His screams stopped long before he hit the ground.

Some time later, Kestrel found the IceWing's corpse at the bottom of the cliff, along with a few fragments of the SkyWing egg. She entered the cave to tell Webs about the news, and he told her that Asha died as well. She also stated that she should have gone to the SkyWing Palace to steal the egg instead of Hvitur. Kestrel stated, "I should've gone and taken the egg myself, they wouldn't have caught me a second time."

Escaping Peril

In the prologue, Queen Scarlet mentions that an IceWing thief broke into the palace and stole an egg but was then killed by Burn. Though Hvitur is not mentioned by name.

Personality

Hvitur seems to be a dragon similar to Asha, one that believes in the goodness of dragons and has faith in the prophecy. He does not like violence, as he sees the war as unnecessary bloodshed. The other guardians seemed to rely on Hvitur and Asha to rear the dragonets as children, with Dune and Kestrel as trainers.

Quotes

"The dragonets are coming, whether you like it or not, and they will chose who the next SandWing queen should be."

Hvitur: "You wouldn't. No one would harm a dragon egg."

Burn: " I guess that means you should be very, very careful with this terribly important little-oops!"

Hvitur: "You're a monster! We'll never give up. The dragonets - the dragonets will come and stop this war."
