Darkstalker is also upset at how much time Clearsight spends trying to control him so that he does not become the violent monster she sees in some of his timelines. Darkstalker and Clearsight are in love, but Darkstalker is often upset at the amount of time Clearsight spends tracing various possible timelines to predict the outcomes of specific actions. She makes predictions that quickly capture the attention of Queen Vigilance, who releases her former official seer and installs Clearsight in the castle in a formal capacity. Darkstalker does not spend much time thinking about his ability as a seer or honing that skill, but he is certain he is going to meet and fall in love with another NightWing seer named Clearsight.Ĭlearsight is a gifted seer with a stronger ability than any other seer currently in the entire kingdom. Most people consider Whiteout to be odd with her strange way of talking and viewing the world. He can also read minds and see the future. Arctic and Foeslayer soon have two dragonets, a boy named Darkstalker and a girl named Whiteout. Though marriages between members of different tribes seldom happen and Arctic is very important because of his animus power, he manages to escape his icy home to live among the NightWings. When Arctic meets a visiting NightWing named Foeslayer, he is enthralled by the fact that she sometimes disobeys willfully. His mother is Queen Diamond and she is demanding and controlling. In this world, a young IceWing prince named Arctic chafes under the strict rules of his tribe. The SeaWings have no restrictions until their oldest animus, Albatross, goes mad (apparently from overusing the power) and kills almost all the royal family. The IceWings only allow an animus dragon to use the power once, for one large gift that benefits the entire tribe. The SkyWings kill dragonets born with this power, seeing it as too dangerous. The term “animus” describes dragons that have magical power. Dragons in these tribes sometimes have powers that set them apart.
The tribes are the NightWings, IceWings, SeaWings, SandWings, MudWings, RainWings, and SkyWings. Within this region are seven distinct dragon tribes, each with dragons that have specific physical characteristics and cultures. The characters of this world are dragons who live in a large region called Pyrrhia.
