Fjord
Template:Infobox Character Fjord was an male IceWing, with pale-blue scales "the color of sky filled snow". His eyes are slightly darker, and he has a deep blue forked tongue. He fought for Blaze under the command of Queen Glacier in the war, but unfortunately was captured and became a prisoner of war under Queen Scarlet when SkyWings and MudWings were fighting against the IceWings. In The Dragonet Prophecy, he was pitted against Clay in the SkyWing Arena just a day before Queen Scarlet's hatching day. 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. He was about to kill Clay, when everyone was looking at Tsunami trying to escape, a mysterious source, later revealed as Glory, spit venom at him and killed him by entering his bloodstream.
Biography
Clay first tried to reason with Fjord when they were thrown into the arena together, which apparently annoyed the IceWing very much. Clay then reluctantly fought him, surprising him with SkyWing tactics he had learned from Kestrel under the mountain. Starflight tried to tell Clay about the IceWing's freezing frost-breath by pointing to his mouth and jumping around. Clay only got the message just in time right before Fjord exhaled the "death breath". Clay then spurted fire in Fjord's face causing him to shriek in agony. Eventually, Fjord pinned Clay to the ground and was about to kill him when Tsunami flung herself off of her spire, causing a diversion (dragging off many prisoners) and distracting Fjord momentarily most of the dragons in the arena were either flying towards her or staring in her direction.
Distracted by the diversion, Fjord bought enough time for Glory to spray venom into the IceWing's already scratched and scared neck, face, and eye, which led to his extremely 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 (which also confused and delighted Peril).
Little else is known of Fjord's life, although Vermilion announced that he was a soldier in Blaze and Queen Glacier's army, was captured, and is good at fighting.
