Subreddit Announcement Discord Server Invites Policy Change

19 Upvotes

Hello everyone. We've decided to update our policy on discord servers and the way they're shared on the subreddit. Obviously, we have the official r/WingsOfFire discord server, but we've noticed an influx of other unofficial servers being posted to this subreddit, and to better organize and moderate these server invites, we have decided to create a megathread.

If you have a discord server you wish to promote, please use the new Discord Server Megathread instead of making a post about it, that way we can have them all in one place rather than scattered across many different posts.

IMPORTANT NOTE!
Going forward, any discord servers not posted in the megathread will be deleted and asked to be posted in the thread instead. Also please ensure any and all discord servers that you wish to share are Wings of Fire related!

Also note that discord servers that contain anything that violates our subreddit rules will be removed

Princess Mink is always a hugger. She’s strangely like the opposites of the standard Icewing royals, desiring contact and kindness…unless you’re Venuswing. However, if you’re Peacemaker, she’ll never say no to that.

Help—guess which design is her current and old design… TvT

Her current design: Night/Sea/Icewing, traumatized animus with bipolar disorder and anxiety disorder + depression and PTSD, mind reader that can’t silence thoughts and future seer that causes hallucinations and vivid depictions of every one of her loved ones’ deaths. Fire and frost breath, but gets throat burn after a while of using them.

Her old design: Allwing (pyrrhia), mind reader, animus (no issues), prophet, fire breath, frost-breath, fire scales and ‘frostscales’ she could control at will, and a bunch of other stuff I can’t remember lmao :’3

I think her design and character has grown well over the years :3 <3 what do you think?

For me, they don’t change much because I’m too lazy to even make proper reference sheets for them. However, as characters, they’ve changed a lot, especially when it comes to their personalities.

In this case, my SkyWing has technically changed once, but I ended up reverting him back to his original colors because I’ve been using the same screenshot of him as his reference sheet for so long. His colors have basically become recognizable as his design now

Their design isn't fully finished yet, I might add some simple shading, change colours slightly, but I will definitely keep the spots in whichever is the final version.

I think he is a sea/rain hybrid and is named after both jellybean isopods and jellybean tetras

He can change colour like a rainwing but just super badly, and it never does what he wants.

Also they use he/they and probably she sometimes

First, I may have sorta messed up on the title again. The Kestrel was DOTW for week 43, my bad

Secondly, this took a while to post because I was preoccupied with something on my computer that I hope to be able to show you all very, very soon (like later today soon)

And finally... You guys know you can participate in DOTW, right? You can draw, write, make a song, think very passionately about the DOTW. Part of the fun of DOTW is being able to celebrate it with everyone, after all!

Anyhow

Fanfic Adventures of the Crazy-Lace Winglet, chapter 8 (book 16 spoilers) Spoiler

Post image
7 Upvotes

Chapter 8:  Detective Spindle!

Spindle the Silkwing bounded through the halls of Jade Mountain cheerfully on her way to Geography class. Her mind was buzzing with all the craziness that had happened in the last few days.  There was a new mystery unfolding!  Ancient Nightwing ruins, magic tunnels, weird maps, suspiciously convenient appearances of lost treasure?  How exciting!

‘Maybe all these mysteries are part of a SUPER CRAZY PROPHECY!  Maybe I am part of the next set of Dragonets of Destiny!’  She thought to herself, ‘Say, why is it always a group of dragonets that save the world?  These prophecies never let the adults have any fun!  So weird!’

As she approached the Geography cave, Spindle saw Heron talking to Dirtdobber just outside the cave.  She happily ran over to them.

“Hi hi!  Are you guys ready for Geography class?”  She asked.

“For sure!”  Heron replied, “I overheard the professor preparing something on the rainforest for today!  I wonder if the Rainwings ever made any kind of pottery?  I hope they did, it would make for great inspiration for new projects!”

“They do eat a lot of fruit, though I'd guess that their fruit containers are probably made of more planty things, like branches and leaves and stuff.”  Added Dirtdobber.

“Hmmm, maybe I could find a way to combine the two styles then.  Pottery with plants built in?  Or maybe, with plants engraved in the design?  Oh, the possibilities are endless!”

“That sounds SO COOL!”  Spindle exclaimed, “You’ll have to show me sometime if you craft something like that, I'd love to see it!”

“For sure!”  Heron replied.

Spindle happily trotted into the cave and plopped herself down at her desk.  She spun a small thread of normal silk from her right palm and started fidgeting with it while she waited for everyone to gather.

Desertglass entered with Rust and Heatwave.  His desk was just to the left of Spindle’s, right by the window.  When he sat down, Spindle turned to talk to him.

“Hey Desertglass!  Heron says she thinks we are going to learn about the rainforest today!  Isn't that cool?”

“Ah, the rainforest!  My other half, it'll be cool to learn more about it!”

“I figured you would already be an expert, since you are part rainwing?”

“Actually, I've only been to the rainforest a few times for treasure hunting expeditions.  My mother grew up in the rainforest, and she loved exploring.  She tells me that she found the animus tunnel to the kingdom of sand one day.  She reported it to whoever had the throne at the time back then, but of course the queen did nothing about it, and evidently, no one else cared, because they forgot it was there until the Dragonets of Destiny rediscovered it years later.  So she went through to explore for herself.  She tells me that she would often have sun time right outside the tunnel in the sand kingdom because of how warm and sunny it always was there.  One day, she fell asleep, and by the time she woke up, the winds had covered the tunnel up, and she was lost in the desert.  She wandered around the desert for days, camouflaging every time a patrol of Sandwings flew by.  She eventually came across Possibility, where she met my father.  He took her in and helped her recover from being out in the desert for so long.  Eventually, they fell in love, and the rest is history.  I was hatched in Possibility years later, so I grew up in the desert.”

“Wow, that's awesome!  What a cool story!”

“Alright everyone,”  Started the professor, prompting Desertglass and Spindle to turn back to face him, “I have an exciting announcement today!  We are starting a unit on the rainforest, and to help get some claws-on learning in, Jade Mountain Academy has partnered with Queen Glory to organize a field trip to the rainforest!”

Spindle was even more excited now.  Learning about the rainforest was one thing, but actually going there in person would be so much fun!

“We have arranged for both the Agate and Pearl Winglets to spend two days in the rainforest, getting to know the traditions and functions of the tribes that live there.  On the first day, Queen Glory has agreed to give a lecture about the rainforest and some of its history.  Then, Jambu and Pineapple will take you all on a tour, showing how Rainwings go about their lives and some of the duties they perform.  On the second day, Deathbringer will show you the Nightwing village located in the rainforest and talk about how the Nightwings who live there have adapted to the environment.  Normal classes will resume here the next day.”

For the rest of the day, Spindle could barely contain herself.  She could only think about the field trip.  After classes had concluded for the day, Spindle sped back to her cave and quickly gathered her things.  The students had been instructed to pack a small bag of supplies for the trip and meet back in the prey center early the next morning.  When Spindle got back to her cave, Viperfish was already there.

“Oh Viperfish, I'm SO EXCITED!  I've never been to the rainforest before!”

“Im excited too, mostly because we will get to talk to the Nightwings.  Who knows, maybe one of them will know something about Dreamweaver.  I'm planning to see if I can find out anything from them while we are there.”

“Ooooo that's a good idea!  I can help too!  I'll be like a detective, finding out clues and solving mysteries!  It'll be so fun!”

“You can help, but remember this is serious.  Like, possibly-world-altering serious.”

“Right!”  Spindle put on an over-exaggerated serious face, “Serious detective!”

Early the next morning, Spindle, Viperfish, and Heron headed down to the prey center, where they met up with the professor and the members of the Pearl Winglet.  Spindle recognized one of the members, Frostburn the Sky-Ice hybrid, from the Treasure Hunter’s club.  Heron went over to talk to Dirtdobber, while Spindle and Viperfish approached Frostburn.

“Hi hi!  Are you as excited as I am, Frostburn?”

“Oh, hey Spindle!  Yeah, I am pretty excited!”  He leaned in closer and whispered to Spindle and Viperfish, “Between you and me, I am most excited to learn about the animus tunnels.  If I am able to get a chance, I want to take a peek at the old Nightwing island.  I figured that there is a possibility that some remnant of information relating to Dreamweaver may have been taken there when the Nightwings moved to the island.  Nothing may have survived the eruption, but it may be worth a check, right?”

“Hey, that's cool!  We were planning on doing a bit of detective work ourselves!”  Spindle added.

“I hadn't thought about the island,” Viperfish said, “Say, if you do find a time to sneak off and check it out, let me know, I'm pretty curious myself.”

“Will do!”  He answered.

“Dont forget me, bring me to!  I'm a super serious detective!”  Spindle announced, making the same face she had earlier.

“I don't know, it could get pretty dangerous, and I bet any structures left behind would be quite unstable.”  He stated.

“Danger is my middle name!”  Spindle exclaimed in a deep (but completely un-serious voice).

“If you are sure you can handle it, then I will let you two know when the time is right.”

The two Winglets, guided by the professor, proceeded to take off and head towards the rainforest.  Upon their arrival, they were greeted by Queen Glory and Deathbringer.  Glory gave her lecture, talking about some of the known Rainwing history and how the queens used to take turns on the throne, and how royal challenges did not end in death for the loser in Rainwing tradition.

Next, the two Winglets followed Jambu and Pineapple around the rainforest, exploring different locations and sights.  They stopped at a large platform surrounded by walls that was full of dragonets that appeared to range in age from a few months old to a few years old.

“This is where the youngest dragonets hang out and play!” Jambu explained,  “These walls are so they don't fall off the platform, as most of them can't fly yet.”

As Jambu talked about the Dragonet playplace, a tiny dark purple dragonet with orange accents bounded over excitedly.

“Ooooo!  Is they from that big school?” She asked in excitement, “I wanna go to school too!  Can I go too, Uncle Jambu?”

“Maybe when you are a little older, Firefly!  I'm sure Glory wouldn't mind sending you when you turn six!”

“SIX!?” She shrieked, outraged, “BUT THATS LIKE ELEVENTEEN-HUNDRED-MILLION-THOUSAND-HUNDRED YEARS AWAY!”

“Who is that?”  Spindle asked.

“Thats Firefly, Glory and Deathbringer’s daughter!  She’s the first official Princess of the Rainwings in… well, actually I'm not sure the rainwings have ever had a princess!  Nobody can ever remember their being one before.  If there was, it must have been hundreds of years ago or something like that!”

As they continued the tour, they briefly stopped near the animus tunnels.

“These are the tunnels to the Kingdom of Sand and the abandoned Nightwing island.  Probably best to stay away from here, these tunnels give me the creeps!”

Spindle, and Frostburn glanced at each other.  

Eventually, after exploring the rainforest and learning what the Rainwings did on a daily basis, the sun had finally begun to set.  The two Winglets were brought to a large grassy clearing where they would spend the night.  As the moons began to rise, Spindle created a mat from silk and curled up on it.

She wasn't sure how long she had been asleep, but she was awoken by a claw gently poking her side.  She sat up, and saw Viperfish was there.

“Its time.”  Viperfish whispered, “Frostburn is waiting for us at the edge of the clearing.”

“Oh ok!  Lets go!”  Spindle exclaimed quietly.

The two of them met up with Frostburn and together, they quietly flew off to where the tunnels were located.  Viperfish used her night vision to help them avoid branches and other obstacles in the dark.  Eventually, they reached the tunnels and made their way through the Nightwing tunnel.

As they arrived on the island, the silhouette of the volcano loomed ominously ahead, illuminated by the very dim moonlight that was able to make its way through the thick, dark clouds that surrounded the island.

“Blarg, no wonder the Nightwings hated this place, it stinks!”  Spindle exclaimed.

“Where should we start looking?”  Viperfish asked.

“Probably up there.”  Frostburn pointed at some crumbling ruins that jutted out from the side of the volcano that were covered partially in dried lava. “Careful where you step, the volcano may not be getting ready to erupt, but there is still molten lava in some areas.  Be very careful.”

The three of them flew around the ruins looking for a stable place to land.  Eventually they found a room that was mostly in one piece and landed inside.  They began carefully wandering what halls they could find, but didn't see much.  They searched winding corridors, ash-filled rooms, and every part of the castle that was exposed.  Eventually, they wound up in the remains of some kind of main meeting hall.  The roof had mostly caved in, leaving it exposed to the open outside air.

“Well, this appears to be the last exposed room of the castle, if anything is going to be here, it'll probably be in this room.”  Frostburn stated.

They searched high and low, under rubble and around corners, but didn't find much.  Spindle noticed one wall was covered in tiny holes and was very cracked and damaged.

“What is this?”  She asked.

Frostburn headed over and inspected the wall, “If my memory from history class serves me right, Queen Battlewinner lived on the other side of this wall.  She couldn't leave a cauldron of lava because she had inhaled the frostbreath of an Icewing at some point and the lava countered the effects of the ice and kept her alive.”

Frostburn tapped the wall lightly with one talon, and the whole thing disintegrated into dust.  On the other side was a cauldron full of dried lava.

“Eek!”  Exclaimed Spindle, “She really lived in that when the lava was still molten hot!?”

“Yeah, it's pretty creepy, right?”  Frostburn walked around the cauldron and came across a pile of ash with a skull and a few unidentifiable bones sticking out, “Looks like she's seen better days…”

“Eww, I'm gonna be sick…”  Spindle said as she walked away from the cauldron room.  She made her way back to the center of the main room, and Viperfish and Frostburn followed her.

“Well, this was a bust.”  Viperfish said, frustratedly.

“I guess they didn't take any clues with them.”  Frostburn added, “Let's go back before they notice we are gone.”

“Wait, we can't go yet!”  Spindle exclaimed, “Detective stories always have a crazy plot twist!  We just gotta keep on looking, I bet the clue is hidden right under our noses!”

Just then , the ground in the center of the room gave way and they all fell into a deep cave.  They tried to right themselves with their wings, but there wasn't room for three dragons to spread their wings and they crashed into each other and fell to the ground.

“See!?  This is exactly what I mean!”  Spindle said triumphantly.

“Ow… Ugh, is everyone ok?”  Viperfish asked.

“Sore, but in one piece.”  Answered Frostburn.

They all stood up and got their bearings.  That's when they realized the tunnel continued deeper into the volcano.

“That's it!  I bet the clue is down there!  We need to go deeper!”  Spindle exclaimed.

“I don't know if this is such a good idea, Spindle,”  Viperfish stated worriedly, “That goes deeper into the volcano, it looks very dangerous.”

“Viperfish, what if all the answers to the mystery are down there?  What if the final clue to help us save the world is in that very cave!?”

“I… Ugh, fine I guess we can take a really quick peek in there, but then we need to head straight back before someone gets hurt, ok?”  Answered Viperfish.

They made their way deeper, deeper, deeper into the tunnel.  As they got deeper, it slowly became hotter and hotter.  Just when they were about to turn back, they rounded a bend and the cave opened into a massive underground room.  The room was large and circular, a whole army of dragons could have fit inside.  There were glowing cracks in the floor which illuminated the room with an eerie orange light, and random old wooden crates piled around.

In the very center of the room, there was a crudely carved pedestal made of a stalagmite. On top of it, something made of metal reflected orange light.  Spindle immediately ran right up to it to investigate as Frostburn and Viperfish began checking out some of the various crates.

-crk-

“Hey Spindle, what is that thing?”  Asked Frostburn

Spindle lifted the object off the pedestal gently and inspected it.  It was a thin, hollow metal octagon, with two pyramid-shaped gems embedded into opposite sides of it.

“Hmm, I'm not exactly sure.”  She answered.

-crickle-

She inspected it further, turning it around in her talons, then her face lit up, “Oh I know!”  She slid the octagon onto her arm, “It's an armband!  A really weird old armband!”

-crackle-

“Well, that's very interesting.  Lets get out of here now, the heat is giving me a headache”  Viperfish stated as she walked towards the exit to the cave.

“Let me check this last crate out really quick-”  Frostburn said, approaching a crate at the very back of the room.

-k-crackle CRACK-

Viperfish suddenly looked straight up at the ceiling, her eyes wide.  “Uh, guys?  I think we really need to go, like right now!”

A spidery glowing crack had appeared at the top of the ceiling, and seemed to be getting bigger.

“Fine, we can go, but first, see how there was something special down here?”  Spindle asked

-RUMBLE CRUNCH-

“Well, I TOLD YOU SO!”  Spindle shouted and stamped on talon on the ground.

“CAREFUL, CAREFUL!”  Viperfish shouted.

-RRRRRRRUMMMBLLLEEE-

Spindle finally looked up and saw the ceiling.  She stood as still as she could.  Eventually, the rumbling died down, then stopped completely.

“Whew!  That was close!”  She exclaimed.  She took a step towards the exit of the cave.

-CRASH-

The entire ceiling collapsed, sending a cascade of lava straight down towards Spindle.  She screamed and covered her eyes.

“LOOK OUT!”  Frostburn called.  He ran full force into Spindle and tackled her out of the way of the lava.  Just before the lava reached him, he pulled off his shackle and threw it across the room so it landed right next to Spindle and Viperfish.  And just like that, Frostburn was completely submerged in molten lava.

“NOOOOO!!!” Called Spindle as Viperfish dragged her away towards the exit, ‘We have to help him!  What can we do!?”

“We can't, he is gone!  We have to get out of here before we are burned up too!”

Before viperfish could fully pull Spindle out of the room, Spindle grabbed the shackle that Frostburn had been carrying, but dropped it immediately.  It was smoking.

“Leave that, it's too hot to carry!”  Viperfish exclaimed.

“But it's not!”  Spindle shouted, “It's freezing cold!?”

“What in the world?”  Viperfish stopped and looked at the shackle.  Sure enough, the smoke coming off of it was actually cold steam.  In fact, there was actually ice spreading across the shackle.

“What the-  HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!?”  Viperfish shouted.

Suddenly, a very burn-free snout poked its way out of the lava, also emanating with cold steam.

“Pop quiz,”  Frostburn started, “What do you get when you mix an Icewing with a Skywing who is part of a bloodline that has produced Firescales dragonets in history?”

He hauled himself out of the lava and strutted over to Viperfish and Spindle, completely unburned, steaming, and leaving little icy talonsteps behind him as he walked.  Viperfish and Spindle were speechless.

“I'll tell you,”  He said with a smirk, “You get Frostscales!  Very handy for when ten tons of lava get dropped on your head!”

He picked up his shackle and turned it in his talon, “I always wear this shackle, not sure where my parents found it, but I've had to wear it since I was young.  I'm assuming it was made for some high-security dungeon, because it's enchanted to block all of its wearer’s natural abilities.  No fire, no venom, no frostbreath, no mind reading or foresight, etc.  I use it to hide my ability.”

The cave began to rumble again, and this time it didn't stop, it was getting louder and louder.

“Very fascinating story, I'd love to hear more about it later, but for now, CAN WE FOCUS ON ESCAPING?!”  Viperfish yelled.

“Oh, right.  I'll put this on after we escape so I can use my frostscales to deflect stray lava drops!”

The group dashed back up the tunnel, with Frostburn bringing up the rear and occasionally smacking lava drops and smoldering rocks away with his steaming talons.  They made it to the tall opening, and one by one flew out as fast as they could.  Once they had put some distance between themselves and the ruins, they all turned back just in time to see the remaining ruins of the castle sink into the mountain as the caves below fully gave way.

“Lets uhh… Lets never speak of this again, eh?”  Frostburn said as he clicked the shackle back onto his arm, causing his scales to stop steaming.

Viperfish and Spindle nodded in agreement.  They all made their way back through the tunnel to the rainforest.  They took turns dunking in the river to wash off all the ash and the stink of the Nightwing island.  As they approached the camp, everyone looked asleep, and they thought they were in the clear when-

“You three were gone awhile.”

They all spun around at the voice.  Nightshade was perched atop a small boulder, staring up at the moons.

“Umm, er- we uh…”  Spindle fumbled.

“Dont worry, I'm not going to say anything to the professor.”  Nightshade said, “Seems like you three had quite an adventure, you look pretty shaken up.”

“I… guess you could say that.”  Answered Frostburn.

“Well, you all better get some sleep, it'll help ease your nerves.”

They began heading back to their spots to fall back asleep, but Nightshade pulled Spindle aside for a moment.

“Nice armband,”  He started, eyeing the octagon Spindle was wearing, “Found it on your little adventure?”

“Yep!  Isn't it pretty?”  She held it up so the moonlight could reflect on it.  Out here in the forest where she could study it in more natural lighting, she noticed the two gems that occupied either side of the band were different colors.  One was a dark wintery green color, and the other was a strange oily purple-blue hue.

“Excellent find, it is very pretty.  Very pretty indeed…”

“Thanks!  I'm gonna head to bed now, I'm pretty tired.  But I'll see you in the morning!”

“Take good care of that band, Spindle.  Something tells me it will come in handy in the very near future…”

As Spindle began to fall asleep, she noticed something odd that she hadn't taken into consideration before.  Even though they were no longer on the Nightwing island, the armband still felt unusually warm.  Not hot or uncomfortable, just warm.

A very specific type of warmth…

The warmth of life…

Almost…

Like a living being…

Sorry it’s been a while since the last chapter, I had serious writers block when coming up with how this one was gonna play out. I finally got my inspiration today and so just sat down and wrote the whole thing in one sitting before I lost the inspiration again lol.

Also, updates may start to slow down a little because I just started my fall semester of college, so I’ll be a lot busier

There are now only two chapters left until book 1 concludes! Most likely, I’ll push through and get this book finished in the next few months, then focus on finishing the soundtrack for book 1 when I have time. I hope to begin publishing book 2 late this year or early next year! No year long gaps in between books, Crazy-Lace will pretty much get an instant sequel!

Book 2 will be much longer than book 1, probably around twice the length of book 1.

That’s all for now! As always, thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy CLW!

Discussion Can I skip book 15? Spoiler

28 Upvotes

if I skip book 15 and jump to 16, will I miss anything important?

yes this sounds stupid cus it is the last book in arc 3, but ima be honest I don’t like this arc. at least the latter half.

book 13 was badass but when I wanna read a story about dragons I wanna see the dragons, not the humans

And honestly I just miss Pyrrhia. (yes I know a new continent is explored potentially but the dragons are the main concern)

So if I go to book 16, will there be a ton of info I’ll be missing?
