"Being as wealthy as dragons won't make us as powerful as dragons."

— Stone to Heath, Dragonslayer

Template:Charbox Stone, or known as Uncle Stone by Ivy, is a character introduced in Dragonslayer. He is the brother of Heath and Rose, and is the uncle of Ivy.

Appearance

While much of Stone's appearance hasn't been described yet, it is most likely that he has dark hair and tan skin like his niece, Ivy. He is described as being bigger than Heath and Rose.

Personality

He is said to be sad all the time, most likely from losing Rose, and dislikes talking about the death of Queen Oasis (though scavengers don't know the queen's name, just that she was the queen of the Sand Dragons). Boar describes him as a lost cause even though he killed Oasis.

Biography

More flying in soon...

Dragonslayer

In the introduction, Stone goes out with his younger brother, Heath, and his younger sister, Rose, to go steal treasure from Oasis. The idea was Heath's, but Stone was convinced to come along with them, and is given the job of transporting the treasure. At the time the intro takes place, Stone and Heath are waiting outside for Rose, who is grabbing more treasure. Stone argues with Heath about the treasure making them powerful, but Heath denies his ideas. Eventually, Rose comes out of the treasure room with the extra treasure, and the trio begin to go back to Valor. However, they are interrupted when Oasis attacks them. All three of them fight, but Stone eventually kills Oasis by stabbing her with his spear. After Oasis's death, Stone realizes that Rose has gone missing. However, Heath's pride and the threat of incoming dragons stops Stone from looking for Rose, but he still worries about Rose after he is long gone.

Stone is mentioned again by Ivy's mother when Ivy asks her about The Dragonslayer, and why her Uncle Stone was yelling at him about running away from Valor. Ivy theorized that Stone wanted The Dragonslayer to slay all the other dragons, but Ivy's mother responded by saying that she'd tell her why when she got older, proving Ivy's theory incorrect.

Quotes

"We're a perfect dragon's dinner, [...] just sitting at their front door, like we're asking to be eaten. No other creatures in Pyrrhia walk right up to the dragons like humans do. They must think we're the dumbest prey on the planet. Maybe we are, if we really think we can steal their treasure and get away with it." - A thought about killing Queen Oasis.

"What's taking her so long? [...] We shouldn't have let her go back in. [...] This is more than enough for the three of us for the rest of our lives." - To Heath.

"Being as wealthy as dragons won't make us as powerful as dragons."

"Well, if he gets mad, I'll be able to pay him three times what they're worth."- A thought about the horses they stole from their father.

"I'm not breathing loudly, [...] I'm barely breathing at all."

"She's going to kill us."

"Don't! [...] Don't antagonize her."

"Why did I let Heath talk us into this?" - A thought.

"They don't have any." - A thought about sand dragon weaknesses.

"Rose." - A thought, when Rose goes missing.

"I can't go home like this. If I return to Father carrying bags of treasure instead of my sister's body... [...] And when they catch us..." - A thought.

"Oh, yes, [...] I was... well, riding it isn't exactly the right description."

"I needed to get back here, [...] It seemed like the fastest way? [...] Probably should have chosen a less spiky dragon."

"Of course not. it didn't know I was on board-- or rather, it knew that something was on top of it, but it didn't know what."

"Don't tell anyone, please. [...] It was in the sand queen's treasure. Heath let me have it because he didn't know what it could do."

"I had a dream that Rose was still alive, and so I went looking for her, but the desert nearly killed me, and then I ended up in a dragon city, which took me forever to escape, and the whole expedition was a disaster, and I don't know what I was thinking. She's been dead for almost twenty years. There's no way she could have survived even a day out there among the dragons, on her own."

"I'd offer you tea, But I don't seem to have any supplies left."

"Rose drew that herself, [...] That's exactly how she looked, especially whenever she and Heath came up with mad schemes."

"She came with us to the desert queen's palace. [...] She's the one who climbed int to steal the treasure. She wasn't much older than you are now. Brave, and clever, and always doing stupid things, usually because Heath teased her or promised her something."

"I didn't see what happened to her, [...] Heath said he did, but he didn't give me any setails. We were too busy running and hiding. But that's why I thought-- when I had that dream, I thought maybe he was wrong. Maybe she survived somehow. I'm such an idiot, chasing a dream of a dead girl into a dragon city."

"I didn't take any, [...] I couldn't bear the sight of it after what happened to Rose. I kept the chain, but I let Heath take the rest. So poke around all you want."

"Doesn't quite fit the happy heroic ending, does it? [...] I bet you don't hear much about the scorched villages or the dragons' vengeance either."

"My brother destroyed the world, [...] And I helped him do it."

"Underground villages! [...] People living like scared rabbits because it's not safe outside anymore. The dragons are still angry with us, even twenty years later. They are still destroying any humans they find to punish us for what Heath did."

"No, not like this, [...] I remember how it was, and when I start to forget, I read the old stories, the ones they won't give you in school anymore. People used to live aboveground, in ordinary towns, all over this continent. Occasionally someone would get eaten, but the dragons rarely burned whole villages. Not until we stole their treasure, killed their queen, and gave them something to be really vengeful about."

"Everyone here, sure, [...] You can't live in Valor unless you do."

"Heath will never give up his treasure, [...] Not in a million years, not to save a single soul, or a thousand souls. He loves it more than anything in the world."

Trivia

• The three scavengers that went to kill Queen Oasis were Stone, Heath, and Rose. Since it was revealed that Rose was left behind on accident, the information of Stone being angry with the Dragonslayer and wanting to run away shows Stone may have some sort of affection to her and wanted to find her.
• He is the true killer of Queen Oasis, despite his brother taking credit for it.
