The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is the ceremony/test where all two-year-old [[SeaWing]] [[dragonets]] are tested to see whether or not they have the [[animus]] gene.

===Pre-Series===
After being bullied by his elder sister, [[Sapphire]], [[Albatross]] discovered his magical abilities by accidentally commanding a shell to bite Sapphire's claws off, leading to the loss of a potential candidate for the SeaWing throne, as the princess was no longer capable of performing queenly duties, such as fighting and swimming, without her claws. To prevent any other such catastrophic event and to better make use of animus magic, a "ceremony" was devised in which dragonets would attempt to enchant something simple (generally a coconut, as seen in both examples of the event) to see if they had the animus gene.

[[Fathom]], when he was a dragonet, took the test with his sister [[Pearl (L1)|Pearl]], [[Indigo]], and five other SeaWing dragonets who had all turned two within the last few months. During the Talons of Power ceremony, they were asked to command their allotted coconut to hit Albatross, who was overseeing the test along with his sister, [[Lagoon (L1)|Lagoon]]. During the test, Fathom's animus powers were revealed, to the delight of his grandfather.

In a flashback, [[Turtle]] was revealed to have skipped the ceremonies for two years until he was four years old. He did not want to show he had animus powers and instead enchanted [[Anemone]], who [[Coral]] insisted to be able to take the test, to have "artificial" animus powers. Turtle then enchanted his coconut to act like it was normal and boring, and succeeded when [[Moray]] pointed at Anemone's coconut, which was floating in the air. Coral ends the ceremony until then and [[Whirlpool]] reluctantly cancels the rest of the ceremony.
* Fathom participated in the ceremony. He successfully ordered the coconut to hit Albatross and was declared an animus dragon.
* Turtle became sick at two and did not participate in the event. No animus was announced that year.
* When Turtle turned three, Queen [[Coral]] was guarding [[Anemone]]’s egg and King [[Gill]] was taken by [[SkyWing]] forces. The ceremony was canceled.{{Ref|ToP|240}}
* Turtle participated at four years old. He knew he was an animus and did not want to receive attention, so he enchanted Anemone to be an animus.{{Ref|ToP|248}}. She successfully ordered the coconut to float and the ceremony ended.


== Procedures ==
== References ==
When Fathom took the test, the task they were supposed to do was to enchant their coconuts to hit Albatross (the main animus at the time). However, when Turtle took the ceremony, the test was to raise the coconut in the air.


== Politics ==
<references/>
Unlike the well-planned giftings of the [[IceWing]] animus dragons, SeaWing animi are encouraged to use their power however their [[queen]] might please, no matter the state of their soul. Because of this, their ability is often abused, as seen in the case of Albatross and Anemone. 


== Recent Uses ==
The Talons of Power ceremony now takes place only once a year and is currently overseen by Queen Coral. All of the SeaWing dragonets that turned two that year are taken to the [[Island Palace]] and provided with a coconut, then told to cast a spell on it — in the most recent known ceremony they were told to tell the coconut to float in the air. The year that King [[Gill]] was captured by [[Scarlet]], the ceremony was canceled.
== Known Contenders ==
* [[Fathom]]
* [[Pearl (L1)|Pearl]]
* [[Indigo]]
* [[Pike]]
* [[Anemone]]
* [[Turtle]]
* [[Cerulean]]
* [[Octopus]]

Description

The ceremony was devised due to the catastrophic discovery of Albatross’s power.[1]. SeaWing dragonets are instructed to perform a simple task, such as moving a coconut with animus magic. SeaWings who successfully order the object are then declared an animus dragon.

Timeline

  • When Albatross was a dragonet, he accidentally enchanted a clam to bite all of Sapphire’s claws off.[2] This event inspired the creation of the Talons of Power ceremony.
  • Fathom participated in the ceremony. He successfully ordered the coconut to hit Albatross and was declared an animus dragon.
  • Turtle became sick at two and did not participate in the event. No animus was announced that year.
  • When Turtle turned three, Queen Coral was guarding Anemone’s egg and King Gill was taken by SkyWing forces. The ceremony was canceled.[3]
  • Turtle participated at four years old. He knew he was an animus and did not want to receive attention, so he enchanted Anemone to be an animus.[4]. She successfully ordered the coconut to float and the ceremony ended.
