Rough rewrite ideas for Arc One:

The dragonets of destiny have 10-15 dragons watching over them. Teaching them the different cultures of the kingdoms, battle tactics, hunting, etc. So when Scarlet comes through and kills them all... mildly traumatizing watching 15 of your only parental figures get killed :D

Kestrel 'killing' Sky is touched on far more. Especially with how Glory's egg looks eerily similar to Sky's+Peril's

On that note, Glory's egg was found in an orphanage in Possibility. It looked red(Rainwing eggs can be any color- they do have a slight opal-like swirl to them) and in the dim light, Webs Conch thought it was a Skywing egg.

That being said, Glory's color changing scales are put to use quite quickly in the TOP(Talons of Peace)'s Holding place for the dragonets.

Yeah... Rainwings aren't 'lazy' anymore. They stay in the jungle, have a camp set up for refugees from the war, and just kinda... avoid the whole thing.

(Not my problem buddy) kind of thinking.

And as such the whole Nightwing thing has changed to affect the Sandwings! Instead of staying on a FUCKING VOLCANO, they stayed on the peninsula that they called home back in Darkstalker's time.

But. whoopsie. Erosion and stuff. So they have to expand into the Sand kingdom, further destabilizing Blaze's control(The main reason why she doesn't just take the crown- she's fighting two wars. The Nightwings are pushing toward a valuable stretch of oasis heavy land.)

Blister's smart now! Less obviously evil.

Scrapping child soldiers because nope not writing that today! Even Blister has standards.

Orca is a main side character in book two- Queen Coral is a villain and is framed as one, and she struggles to hold things together. Not perfect, but trying.

Eventually, both are goaded on by Blister to fight for the crown. Orca is about to win, when she 'trips' over a misplaced something. And gets stabbed by Queen Coral. Tsunami is horrified that the most comforting Big sister figure that she knew is now dead. Because of her mother.

Aaand that's when the Mudwing/Skywing raid happens on the Palace. They escape, but not before a hushed goodbye to Anemone and Orca giving Tsunami and Anemone one of her trinkets/necklaces/earrings/things

Glory's struggle with the Guardians mistreating her is the focus of the third book.

Her adopted big bro Jambu(?) helps her work through it. Oh also Deathbringer/Jambu for life, convince me otherwise.

We get introduced to Kinkajou and Moon here- Moon is an escaped refugee who's mother helped the Sandwing's with information. They got exiled.

Glory is horrified and starts to realize what the war does to dragons

She eventually gives the council the big idea of letting the Nightwings into the forest.

They accept.

Book four is all about trying to make that happen! Starflight enters the Kingdom as a spy, fighting on the Sand Kingdom's side(Thorn begs Sunny, but Starflight steps up instead as a more passing nightwing.

He doesn't know about the rainforest truce. The dragonets got split up after book three in the chaos.

Shenanigans ensue.

Buut eventually the Nightwings start slowly heading to the Rainforest.

How does Starflight get blinded?

He was always blind

Book five- Sunny time!

Sandwing politics. and stuff.

Scavengers? Ew.

Sunny gets kidnapped by Burn. But Burn is kinda busy, so Sunny is left to wander. She reads scrolls. lots of them(Mainly due to missing Starflight)

And she sees how this has happened before.

Fights for power

Killing innocent dragonets.

Corrupt Kings/Queens.

And she realizes.

That the system is horrible.

More shenanigans ensue.

Eventually, the three sisters face off. Sunny tries to stop them, but they don't listen.

They all end up dying. Dying for power.

All the other Royalty of all Kingdoms are horrified.

But Sunny leads the example by starting a new way-

Democracy!

Book cuts off at Jade Mountain. All best buds are together.

And the idea for Jade Mountain academy is born.

Whoo, that one was a doozy!

Hope you enjoy!

sfowefnjfwkn;l I'm trying to figure out the biology of the pantalian(?) dragons and it is just. so confusing.

For example, do rainwings secrete poison, acid, or anything else? Some poisons can burn/damage skin, but not to Queen Scarlet level, and that's not even talking about how it would have to pass through SCALES, not skin! AND HOW DO THEIR FANGS WORK. ARE THEY FELXIBLE. DO THEY HAVE TO AWKWARDLY MOVE THEIR HEAD TO AIM. WHAT IS GOING ON.

How do Sandwings survive? They don't have an easy way to get rid of heat(Ex: Big ears) aside from their 'sails' and even then that's IFFY cause I don't know if blood runs through it or not. Realistically, they should be awake during evening/dawn, or night(Based on whether the dunes get cold at night) but they seem to be active during the day?? but they can still get heatstroke??? tf is going ON with these guys.

Mudwings are fine, ig. nothing really special. Trying to make em more like crocodiles.

Nightwings are also fine- making them more like fluffy bats. Volcano idea might get scrapped/reworked, so there's that. Still gotta massively nerf Mindreading/FutureSight.

Why are Seawings so small? Do their ears fold underwater- wait, why do they go above land? They can live underwater without ever going up, and with the war and all, it would make sense if they never left. Maybe they still need to get air, but they live in coastal areas/islands and have the 'mudwings can hold their breath for an hour thing'? Would give them some actual stakes.

Skywings should have feathers/beaks. They would get cold in high altitudes, and they should just have feathers cause they have nothing else going on with them.

I am not touching Icewings with a ten foot pole. They do not radiate cold. They have fur. They live in the Taiga. I will die on this hill. (I am working on Frostbreath but basically its gonna be an animus magic thing and oh god I haven't even talked about animus magic yet.)

aeejcnjkdnddjikssk this dragon series has me by a chokehold.

#wings of fire rewrite #wings of fire #uggh #watch me wrestle with this childrens series and try to make it reasonable #oh yeah and I forgot to mention this #tui put a hot desert next to the arctic #how does that even happen? #and UGH I haven't even gotten to animus magic yet #or arc three biology #mudwing #sandwing #rainwing #seawing #icewing #skywing

Welcome to my (partial) rewrite of Wings of Fire!

Yes, Starlit Paths is still my main project. No, this is not a full scale rewrite. Moreso where I'll post concepts, rough drafts for how I would rewrite the books, and art.

Some notes below:

The lovely image for my icon was made with this picrew!

More lgbtq+ Characters!

Giving the dragons some fur.

Trying to explore the characters in more depth.

Fleshing out the culture/religion of the dragons more.

They aren't called 'tribes' anymore! Only Kingdoms.

Animus magic is getting massively nerfed.

Removing child soldiers cause good lord no I'm not handling that nope.

Less matricide. The way of succession varies kingdom to kingdom.

Arc Three is... we are taking the rough idea of bug dragons and burning the rest. nope. not today.

Darkstalker is a villain goddamit

Quinterwatcher

Whirlpool is uh... well(Killed brutally, and not a creep! Coral does not push her daughter, a CHILD, onto him. Nope! Him and Coral flirt instead)

More hybrid dragons

The kingdoms interact more.

And more!

The Tagging system is below.
