Glory

"Queen Glory of the RainWings. That'll be my name in the history scrolls — not Glory the mistake, or Glory the lazy RainWing, or Glory who could never be as good as some nameless SkyWing who died six years ago. I'm responsible for all these dragons now. […] I'll protect them. I'll lead them. I'll make them — us — a tribe we can be proud of. Glory, the queen who chose her own destiny, saved her subjects, and turned her tribe into the greatest dragons in all of Pyrrhia."

— Glory's thoughts, The Hidden Kingdom

"We're taking our prisoners back. You will never set foot in the rainforest again. You will leave the RainWings alone forever. We'll destroy the tunnel between our kingdoms, you'll call off the invasion, and we'll never even sniff another NightWing near our village for the next twelve generations."

― to Queen Battlewinner

"Are you serious? The whole thing was made up? No destiny, no wings of fire? No reason for us to be trapped in a cave for our whole lives? No amazing mythical SkyWing who's infinitely better than me? Absolutely no need for any of us at all?"

― to the dragonets

"Then why do the IceWings support her? […] Don't they want a strong queen? No, of course they don't. […] The one kingdom they share a border with — wouldn't it be great if it happened to be ruled by a vain, silly dragon who was totally in debt to them and did everything their queen ordered. Maddening for us, but sensible for them. Queen Glacier knows what's she's doing. Unless she loses — like if Blaze happened to die somehow — in which case she'd have to deal with Burn right on her border, all enraged and looking for vengeance. All right, yes, I can see why she'd keep her safely locked up. Three moons."

"Good news: Four of your students have gone off to find a dragon who just tried to kill you, in order to find another dragon who has tried to kill you about ninety dozen times. Oh excellent, thanks, Turtle. Now we don't have to worry at all. I mean, we were 'hoping' somebody would take care of the vengeful and deadly Queen Scarlet for us. Preferably a bunch of five-year-olds. Very reassuring indeed."

"Listen. I used to think I could do everything by myself, too. I didn't want help from anyone. But I wouldn't be here now if it weren't for my friends, and I have a feeling you'll be saying the same thing a year from now."

― to Winter

"I think that is your superpower, extreme heroic idiocy. Well, if that means all the NightWings decide to go with Darkstalker I suppose my job around here will get a lot easier."

― to Deathbringer
