Reed

Template:Infobox Reed is a MudWing and one of Clay's younger brothers, being the second eldest of all seven of Cattail's children. He is a character featured in the first and fourth book with his sibs group.

History

Reed hatched along with Sora, Pheasant, Umber, Crane and Marsh. Due to Clay being sold to the Talons of Peace for some cows, Reed was compelled to take over for the bigwings of the group which, is the leader despite not being the largest or strongest. Over time, the others grew to respect him.

When Clay returned, it was Reed who noticed him first. They, the other siblings, began to tell him about the MudWing traditions, and helped him make peace with himself. The others, Reed included, have wanted Clay to stay, but Clay decided that Reed would be a better bigwings than he would be, therefore he left with Glory after making peace with his siblings.

After meeting Clay, Reed is left wondering whether the older dragonet could have done a better job protecting the sibs. He starts to believe that Clay could have saved Crane, and that the other sibs would prefer him instead. His lack of belief in himself makes him worried and at times distracted.

Quotes

"Before the war takes anyone else I care about. Before our village is destroyed; before I have to choose between loyalty to my tribe and the safety of my brothers and sisters. Before we have to kill anyone else." (Thinking of Clay fulfilling the prophecy along with the other dragonets of destiny and bringing eternal peace to the world.)
