Curse of the Three Moons
Tumblr media
[Start ID: A stylized digital drawing of the character Darkstalker from the book series Wings of Fire. The piece is in a lineless style with very bright colors. Darkstalker is in the shadows with only bright color markings visible. He is staring directly at the viewer with a big menacing toothy grin, his wings spread out besides him. His eyes have black x shaped pupils, with white and magenta irises, and bright cyan highlights. He has icy blue eyelids and at the side of his eyes are bright cyan star shapes. The cyan star pattern continues down his neck and he has a mane of fur with magenta and cyan stripes. The horns on his head curve downwards, and his ears point out. His wings are speckled with cyan and magenta dots, imitating stars. The background behind him is a saturated blue, with 3 white moons above his head in an arc. End ID.]

Arctic, Foeslayer, Darkstalker and Whiteout
Tumblr media
Some notes:
Arctic isn't old, just wasting away from stress and animus magic taking a toll on his body, being in the wrong environment also doesn't help
He is the reason Darkstalker and Whiteout have ridged spiral horns, Diamond also had them
Foeslayer is so cute shdhdjdnn, lots of battle scars from being a top ranking soldier
Gave her red eyes, it fits her well
Made Darkstalker to have no fur privilege, also I like the idea of him looking more like his father so he is blueish and more angular
Also red eyes because it looks cool
I like to think Whiteout superficially looks more like her mother, rounder shapes and body, greenish scales, same horn shape even if spiralling. Stonemover's stone scales and Sunny's darker patches also make them look like her
I accidentally made her look like a Seawing cause I had trouble making her fur curly, but I like that and I like the fact she could kind of look like Orca, weird opposite parallels

I think the real reason why Artic’s death is so horrifying isn’t because of the gore. It’s because it represents Darkstalker finally becoming the monster he was prophecized to be.
The entire book you know how it’s going to end. Darkstalker will be sealed beneath a mountain, Clearsight will flee the continent, and Fathom leaves the public eye with Indigo. The build up is an entirely different story. All three of them want the future to be different, one where they stay together and avoid the grim fate that awaits them, and for a few brief periods all over the story you think they will. Clearsight says that she had almost entirely written out the scroll as a possibility because of how few timelines it appeared in.
Tumblr media
Fathom manages to gradually reign in Darkstalker to the point where the thought of him enchanting the goblet was shocking. And yet, Darkstalker continues down the dark path. He doesn’t trap Indigo just because he loathes her (although that definitely contributed to it). He traps her because it’s a stepping stone to getting Fathom more willing to use his animus powers, weather that be voluntarily or not. He gives Clearsight the earrings not because he dislikes her power. He gives it to her because it’s only a temporary thing to make sure she’s happier and he check all her work anyway, so nothing bad would happen!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Darkstalker has convinced himself that every action he does is the right one. It’s all to move them towards the best possible future, where everyone’s happy in the end. At least… he says that. Some part of Darkstalker still knows these are wrong. That’s why he wrote them in the invisible ink. That’s why he never fully enchanted, Clearsight or Fathom to change. Little, justifiable nudges that he could write off as a necessary evil. It doesn't matter how they get to the big, happy ending. Just that they get there in the first place. Everyone will be happy then, so when he reveals what he did they'll be mad for a bit but will ultimately accept that it all worked out in the end.
It's this philosophy that helps Darkstalker continue. He's not a monster because he never changes them directly, only with something small and disposeable like an object. He is so terrifed of being that bloodstained dragon in the future he refuses to do it directly, maintaining plausable deniability the entire time. It creates a buffer between them, and as long as it stands he considers himself blameless.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even when everyone else is against him for surviving Quickdeath’s attack, he doesn’t focus on the fact that they are horrified that he enchanted himself to be invulnerable and instead says that the problem is resolved and is shocked that they aren’t relieved and going on as normal.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When he enchants Arctic, he still doesn’t lay a hand on him. Not his claws. He is not bloody. Not yet. He flies Arctic to the center of the Nightwing kingdom and creates a mock trial out of his father’s death. He kills him as a show of power, yes, but convinced himself it’s justifiable. He waits for the crowd’s reaction before doing it.
Tumblr media
Arctic’s death isn’t even that descriptive. The book says that it was “messy” but there aren’t pages and pages of vivid gore. It’s a short paragraph and while it is the culmination of Darkstalker’s decent into power-driven madness the violence is so very small in a book filled with it. There’s no return from here. Clearsight says it herself, when everything is done. She can’t return to the Nightwings after being seen on that stage with Darkstalker. This is what finally gets Fathom to give up on any attempts to bring him back to the friendly, charming version of the Darkstalker he knew.
There’s no return for Darkstalker, either. In his mind, he’s won. He’s “triumphed” over Arctic after all this time. He’s finally killed someone. No. He’s finally made someone kill themselves. Like some sort of horrible gotcha to the universe, there is no blood on his claws. No blemishes on his body. Even when killing his father, he remains blameless in his mind. He would have remained blameless when killing anyone else.

to Darkstalker:
Rise and shine, Darkstalker. Rise and shine. Not that I wish to imply you have been sleeping on the job. No one is more deserving of a rest. And all the effort in the world would have gone to waste until…well, let's just say your hour has come again. The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world. So, wake up, Darkstalker. Wake up and smell the ashes.

Au where Qibli says yes. From a thematic perspective he really should have. Anyway, a poor unfortunate souls map with these two would be awesome.

I've been reading NightWings myths again and it's wild how there's no ending to the Darkstalker legend. Like they all talk about how evil and terrifying it was and how it was some great monster, but they all go in different directions when it comes to how it was defeated. Like nobody could even figure out how to beat something like that.

what if instead of being defeated by some hero or being tricked into destroying himself darkstalker just went underground and lives in the mountains
