"The dragonets are coming, whether you like it or not, and they'll choose who the next SandWing queen should be."
— Hvitur to Burn, prologue of The Dragonet Prophecy

Template:Charbox Hvitur was a male IceWing who was introduced in the prologue of The Dragonet Prophecy. He was a member of the Talons of Peace and one of the Guardians of the Dragonets, but was killed by Burn during his escape from Scarlet's Palace with the prophecy SkyWing egg.

Appearance

Hivitur was described to have silver wings, a long and pale body with silver scales, and blue eyes.[1]

Personality

Hvitur seemed to be a dragon similar to Asha; one that believed in the goodness of dragons and had great faith in the prophecy coming true. He disliked violence and saw the war as unnecessary bloodshed. The other guardians may have relied on Hvitur and Asha to rear the dragonets as dragons, with Dune and Kestrel only as trainers, and Webs as the dragonets' teacher, which ended up being a serious problem when both Hvitur and Asha were killed.

Biography

Pre-Series

Hvitur, along with Kestrel, Webs, Dune, and Asha, was charged with the task to find and bring the Dragonets of Destiny's eggs to the caves under the mountain, along with the duty to protect and raise them for the task of fulfilling the prophecy about them that Morrowseer had foretold. Unfortunately, Asha died of her wounds shortly after delivering Clay's egg.

In the prologue, during the Talons of Peace's quest to steal the dragonets' eggs, Hvitur was sent to retrieve the SkyWing egg. He broke into the SkyWing Palace to steal the prophesied egg. The largest guards pursued him, knowing it was the dragon Queen Scarlet had warned Burn about. They caught him and dropped him in front of Burn and she orders the two soldiers to bind scorching hot chains around Hvitur's jaws, preventing him from using his frostbreath. During that time, she carelessly played with the SkyWing egg while watching Hvitur plead desperately for its safety. This proved his 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, pretending that it slipped through her talons and proceeded to torment him, saying that even if the dragonets did save the world, it would be far too late for him. She shredded Hvitur's wings after the IceWing desperately tried to leap after the egg. She then stabbed him in the back of the skull with her venom-tipped tail, before flinging him off the cliff. His screams stopped long before he hit the ground.

Some time later, Kestrel found Hvitur's corpse at the bottom of the cliff, along with a few fragments of the shattered SkyWing egg. She entered the cave to tell Webs the news, and he informed her that Asha had died as well. Kestrel then stated that she should have gone to the SkyWing Palace to steal the egg herself, instead of sending Hvitur. Webs then said that he would get an egg somewhere else to replace the broken SkyWing egg. He later ended up going to the rainforest to steal a RainWing egg without the RainWings even noticing. Kestrel said that it was a horrible idea, but Webs replied, saying that they had to do something about the prophecy. He also said that in eight years, the Talons of Peace would come looking for the five dragonets. It ended with Webs saying that the prophecy had said five dragonets and that they were going to make it come true, whatever it took.

In the prologue, Queen Scarlet mentioned that an IceWing thief broke into the palace and stole an egg, but was then killed by Burn. Though not mentioned by name, the scenario perfectly matches that of Hvitur's death; it appeared that it was almost definitely him that she was talking about.

Quotes

"Haven’t enough dragons died for your war? All of Pyrrhia has suffered for the last twelve years. The prophecy says-" - Hvitur to Burn; The Dragonet Prophecy, prologue

"Leave it alone." - Hvitur to Burn; The Dragonet Prophecy, prologue

"You wouldn't. No one would harm a dragon egg." - Hvitur to Burn; The Dragonet Prophecy, prologue

"The dragonets are coming, whether you like it or not, and they'll choose who the next SandWing queen should be." - Hvitur to Burn; The Dragonet Prophecy, prologue

Trivia

  • Hvitur means "white" in Icelandic. It is also a type of horse native to Iceland.
  • Hvitur was the first dragon shown in the series and the first IceWing featured, as well as the first dragon and IceWing to die in the Wings of Fire series.
  • Due to Hvitur's attitude towards the prophecy, he most likely would have been a parenting figure to the dragonets of destiny, along with Asha.
  • Hvitur was one of the two guardians that the dragonets never met, the other being Asha the MudWing.
  • Tui stated that the reason his name was Hvitur was that she was saving the names she liked for the characters that survived longer[2].
  • His name is pronounced hi-vee-tur.
  • He is the only true IceWing known to have been in The Talons of Peace seeing as the other was Cirrus, who was merely one of Chameleon's many masks.
  • While most IceWings are cold, sarcastic, and sometimes snobbish, Hvitur is quite an exception, since he fiercely believed in the prophecy and fate. Other IceWing exceptions are Lynx and Winter.
  • The prologue is different for the graphic novel arc, with the prologue for the graphic novel being the dragonets hatching, instead of Hvitur's death and the breaking of the prophecy SkyWing's egg.
  • Hvitur is the first and so far only character that does not appear nor is mentioned in the graphic novels.
