The Dragonet Prophecy (prophecy)
The Prophecy, also known as The Dragonet Prophecy, was created by Morrowseer and Queen Battlewinner of the NightWings eight years into the War of The SandWing Succession.
There is also The Jade Mountain Prophecy. Moonwatcher, the first telepathic NightWing in ages, fortold it. Unlike The Dragonet Prophecy, this one may actually be true.
At the end of The Dark Secret, Morrowseer revealed that the prophecy was fake. The NightWings' only motive to make the prophecy was to use the dragonets to save their tribe. Stonemover confirmed this in The Brightest Night, much to Sunny's dismay. It was somewhat fulfilled, however, because Burn and Blister died, leaving Blaze as the only living SandWing sister. Even though Blaze did not learn, although she did bow to a fate stronger and higher (meaning accepting Queen Thorn as the new Sand Wing ruler) possibly showing that the prophecy was partly true.
Kestrel, Dune, Asha, Hvitur, and Webs stole and brought the dragonets to fulfill their supposed fate. Only Webs lived to the end of the war.
"The largest egg in mountain high" was referring to a SkyWing egg, however, it was broken by Burn , forcing Webs to go to the rainforest to get a replacement egg, the only one he found ended up being Glory's egg.
The Dragonet Prophecy
When the war has lasted twenty years...
the dragonets will come.
When the land is soaked in blood and tears...
the dragonets will come.
Find the SeaWing egg of deepest blue
Wings of night shall come to you.
The largest egg in mountain high
will give to you the wings of sky.
For wings of earth, search through the mud
for an egg the color of dragon blood.
And hidden alone from rival queens,
the SandWing egg awaits unseen.
Of three queens who blister and blaze and burn,
two shall die and one shall learn
if she bows to a fate that is stronger and higher,
she'll have the power of wings of fire.
Five eggs to hatch on brightest night,
five dragons born to end the fight.
Darkness will rise to bring the light.
The dragonets are coming....
