"Well, son of a starfish."
— Tempest as she gets hit by a spear thrown by Deathbringer, Assassin

Template:Charbox Commander Tempest was a female SeaWing and a commander in the SeaWing army. She appeared in the second book in the Winglets series, Assassin, and seemed to have a close relationship with King Gill and her third-in-command, Piranha. To prevent Blister from winning the war easily and thwarting the NightWings' plans, Deathbringer killed Tempest by throwing a MudWing spear into her heart to destabilize Blister's army and wreak havoc. Her death ultimately caused the MudWings to leave Blister's alliance and join Princess Burn's army.

She is seen as very brave and calm, and even when Deathbringer threw a spear into her chest, she didn't scream or cry out. She only responded by saying, "Well, son of a starfish", before the severity of the wound killed her.

Appearance

Tempest was a powerfully built, enormous, turquoise SeaWing, as big as Morrowseer, with broad shoulders and gleaming teeth and a healing burn scar on her neck[1]. She had a golden trident longer than Deathbringer strapped onto her back. 

Assassin

The first mission Deathbringer had on the continent was to kill Commander Tempest. His mother, Quickstrike, told him that she was shifting the war too far into Blister's talons.

Unfortunately, Quickstrike was struck by lightning upon discovering the camp, and Deathbringer had to complete the mission alone. He waited out the night and the morning until the SeaWing army arrived. Among them were Commander Tempest, Gill, Piranha, and about twenty other SeaWings. Deathbringer saw her and was immediately intimidated, thinking, "Holy mother of lava, I'm supposed to kill THAT?[2]". Tempest was talking out a peace strategy along with Gill, as she didn't want the war to drag on any longer.

Tempest asked all the dragons on the beach to lay down their weapons in the sand. The troops followed her command, but Deathbringer managed to snatch a MudWing spear. He threw it and it pierced her heart, giving the unsuspecting Tempest mere moments to live. She uttered her last words, "Well, son of a starfish", and hit the beach "like a slow avalanche[3]." Gill sobbed heavily and Piranha shrieked in rage at the sight of her fallen commander[4].

The dragons on the beach went into a state of panic, especially when they saw the note Deathbringer left behind, which read:

This is what we think about your secret deal with Blister. Stay in the water where you belong! The coast of the Mud Kingdom is ours![5]

This made most dragons suspect that a MudWing had killed Tempest, but the real assassin, Deathbringer, returned home to safety. Unfortunately for him, the armies on the beach found half-dead Quickstrike, and Blister ordered her soldiers to "make her completely dead"[6].

Quotes

"Blister! We're here! Let's get this over with!"
― to Blister (Assassin)
"Ha, [...] The queen has her own kingdom to run. She won't ever have to meet with you as long as I'm here to handle our strategy summits. But she did send her husband, Gill."
― to Blister about Queen Coral (Assassin)
"And this is my third-in-command, Piranha, [...] I left my second watching the troops, of course. Make sure they don't have too much fun, ha!"
― to Blister about Piranha (Assassin)
"Would be fine by me, [...] I mean, I love being the war commander and all, but it's a messy business, aren't I right? Ha!"
― to Blister and Gill about considering peace by negotiation (Assassin)
"You're right, you're right, [...] Between our three armies, this plan could work. I'm real tempted by this idea of a peace accord, though-- aren't you, Swamp?"
― to General Swamp (Assassin)
"Well, son of a starfish."
― her last words, as she dies from being impaled by a spear (Assassin)

Trivia

  • Her murder caused unsteadiness to the MudWing alliance with Blister, allowing Burn to threaten them into switching their alliance in her favor.
  • Blister was shown to resent Tempest a little. This is shown when General Swamp yelled at Princess Blister and said that she called Tempest smelly, loud, and her soldiers obeyed her orders "like pathetic big-eyed manatees"[7].
  • Tempest appeared to have a relationship with Gill, as he sobbed heavily when she died.
  • She was noted to have a big, jovial voice.
  • Tempest is one of the only two characters with a known burn scar, the other being Kestrel.
