Get ready to dive to the Kingdom of the Sky where we will check out one of the most powerful tribes in Pyrrhia.
Even though Queen Scarlett was challenged for the Skywing Throne fourteen times, she ruled over the Sky Kingdom for twenty nine long years. Most of the Skywing’s hated her, but were to scared of Scarlett to do anything about it. During the War of Sandwing Succession, she took the prisoners from the war and forced them to fight each other so she could watch. It wasn't until her daughter Ruby challenged her to the throne, was she not queen anymore. Queen Ruby changed many of Scarlett’s policies. She turned the fighting arena into a healing center. To get the money for it, she took some of the gold decorations from the castle.
Because of their stamina, Skywings can fly strongly, powerfully, and faster than other tribes. The big wings they get at birth help them do that. The skywing dragonets are taught to fly younger than most tribes. They also have eyes like eagles and can resist the cold. The most recognizable trait of the Skywings is their ability to breathe fire, and like the Nightwings, the Skywings can control the temperature of the fire.
Skywing scales can be red, orange, yellow, or brown. They are usually slim, but very strong. They are considered to be very skilled fighters. The tribe’s eye color could be orange, yellow, or golden brown. Peril and Sky have blue eyes, which is unusual for Skywings.
Firescale dragons are Skywings who were born with too much fire. This happens sometimes when Skywing twins are born. A situation may occur where one twin takes too much fire from one twin and has too much fire. The other twin has no fire. Anything that touches that twin with too much fire would instantly burn up into flames. Firescale’s fire is not like normal fire, it is much hotter in temperature. Dragons have not discovered a way to get past the firescale’s scales, other than a Mudwing hatched from a redblood egg. One known firescale is Peril. She was born from Kestrel of the Skywings and Soar. Peril was taken in by Queen Scarlett after her mother fled the Sky Kingdom. The Queen turned Peril into her champion.
The Skywings used to think letting the firescale dragons live was bad luck to the tribe, and the tribe would throw the egg off a cliff to get rid of the deadly firescale. That tradition stopped for Peril. Queen Scarlett allowed her to live, but she controlled her with lies.
