Fjord
Template:Infobox CharacterFjord is an IceWing, his scales being pale-blue and described as the color of 'sky-filled snow'. He fought for Blaze under the command of Queen Glacier in the great war, but unfortunately was captured and became a prisoner of war under Queen Scarlet. In The Dragonet Prophecy, he was pitted against Clay in the SkyWing Arena. He appeared to be intent on surviving, as before he fought against Clay he had killed four others in arena matches. According to the book, Fjord was only a head taller than Clay, but looked much scarier and older, as he had many scars on his head and neck from previous battles.
Clay first tried to reason with Fjord when they were thrown into the arena together, which annoyed the IceWing. Clay then reluctantly fought him, surprising him with SkyWing tactics he had learned from Kestrel. Starflight tried to tell Clay about the IceWing's freezing frost-breath by pointing to his mouth. Clay only got the message just in time right before Fjord exhaled the breath. Eventually, Fjord pinned Clay and was about to kill him when Tsunami flung herself off of her spire, causing a diversion and distracting Fjord momentarily.
Distracted by the diversion, Fjord bought enough time for Glory to spray venom into the IceWing's already scratched neck, face, and eye, which led to his painful death. Also because of the distraction, Clay was the only one who saw Glory's venom so all the SkyWings, MudWings, and SandWings watching thought that Clay had killed Fjord instead. Little else is known of Fjord's life, although Vermilion announced that he was a soldier in Blaze's army.
