SkyWings

A SkyWing

SkyWings are red and orange colored dragons that are usualy described as 'flame colored' or "rust colored." They were under the previous rule of Queen Scarlet, but are now currently under the leadership of Queen Ruby, Scarlet's firstborn daughter.

The SkyWings were originally allied with Burn and the MudWings in the great war. It is currently unknown if Scarlet's eldest daughter, Ruby, will uphold the alliance with Burn and the MudWings or not. However, Queen Scarlet is confirmed to still be alive, but she is in captivity by Burn. Burn also said that Ruby wants to "restore order in the Sky Kingdom' and establish the stability of her own throne' before engaging in any more difficult than her annoting mother, and she follows orders very poorly, if it all. I'm considering getting rid of her."

Description

SkyWings are blood red, orange, or red-gold and have red, yellow, amber, orange, or (rarely) blue eyes. They have a small agile body and enormous wings which make them excellent fliers. In addition, they can breathe fire at any given time. SkyWings are typically shown to be short tempered and grumpy.

Abilities

SkyWings are well-known for their superior fighting skills. They are also fast fliers due to their enormous wings and are capable of breathing large amounts of fire.

In rare cases, a dragonet can be born with too much fire. According to Queen Scarlet, the mother will usually drop the dragonet over a cliff to kill it. These possess so much fire that everything they touch burns, which makes them virtually invulnerable to any attack by any dragon, but also curses them by making them unable to have any physical contact with any living being. Therefore, they are often shunned and alone. They may be characterized by blue eyes, copper scales and golden streaks in their scales. These kinds of SkyWings have fire that is actually hotter than regular fire; just by touching they can burn through fireproof metal. In The Dragonet Prophecy, they are required to eat black rocks, or else, as suggested by Peril but discouraged by Kestrel, they could get extremely sick. However, this was said by Kestrel not to be true, and the fact that Peril got sick from not eating them was a result from poison in her food from Queen Scarlet.

When a dragonet is born with too much fire, this may mean they will have a twin with too little fire. This twin is thought to be killed along with their sibling.

Society

SkyWing culture is built mainly on warfare and power. SkyWings value excitement and often times gore, as shown with the SkyWing Arena. But they still keep in mind justice and honor, as with the Champion's Shield. Peril used the Champion's Shield to defend her mother, Kestrel. Many themes from the SkyWing Arena are based off the Roman Colosseum.

The tribe is currently in a civil war over the queens; in The Lost Heir, SeaWing guards on patrol reported that they had seen a group of SkyWings fighting each other, some shouting for Queen Ruby and others replying that Queen Scarlet is still alive (it is confirmed she is still alive).

Arena

The SkyWing Arena is a fighting arena where prisoners of Queen Scarlet fight to the death. The Dragonets of Destiny have been forced to fight here before in The Dragonet Prophecy. Apparently, if a dragon were to get a certain amount of victories, they would be set free. However, prisoners are required to fight Peril before they reach their last victory. Because of this, the prisoner would be defeated. This means that once a prisoner is captured by Scarlet, they can't escape (if following the arena rules) without dying. The dragonets of destiny were able to escape when Glory caused disarray in arena stands.
