Crane (TDP)

"You, and our sister Crane, two days ago in the battle by the cliff."

— Reed to Clay about Crane, The Dragonet Prophecy

(Not to be confused with Crane, the MudWing queen who lived 2,000 years ago during the time period of Darkstalker.)

Crane was a female MudWing dragonet who was mentioned in The Dragonet Prophecy. She was a member of Clay's sibling group and a soldier in Moorhen's army until she was killed by Icicle during a battle between the IceWings and the MudWings while protecting her siblings during the War of SandWing Succession.

Description

Crane was a small and thinner than average MudWing, with brown scales.

Biography

The Dragonet Prophecy

The Dragonet Prophecy

Crane was killed in a battle between the IceWings and the MudWings at the Mud Kingdom's border, which just took place two days before Clay and Glory reached the battlefield, leaving Clay to wonder how many of his siblings would still be alive when the war ended. She was killed the same day Clay fought Fjord in the SkyWing arena.

The Dark Secret

While patrolling the borders of the Mud Kingdom, Reed wondered if Crane would have still been alive if Clay had been their bigwings instead of him. Reed does not like to think about the battle that killed Crane, as it makes him feel as if "a huge pit has opened up inside of him that he just wants to fall into." He feels terrible about it and does not want it to be true.

The Jade Mountain Prophecy

Moon Rising

Icicle was Sora's clawmate at Jade Mountain Academy, and Sora soon realized that Icicle was the IceWing who had killed Crane. Because of Crane's death, Sora tried to kill Icicle to get revenge. However, she failed both times — once with a dragonflame cactus and the other with a stalactite on the roof of the prey center. One murder attempt accidentally killed Carnelian and Bigtail, and severely injured Tamarin. Crane was mentioned when Sora asked Kinkajou to leave so she could apologize to Tamarin alone, who was seen crying when Moonwatcher, Qibli, and Umber came rushing in. When Moon read Sora's mind, she saw a flashback where Crane had saved Sora and Marsh from an IceWing, but then was killed by another IceWing, Icicle, smiling at Sora as Sora screamed for her murdered sister.
