" As far as I know, animus magic cannot reanimate the dead. " Callisto sighs and closes her eyes, " So unless someone does something stupid like that somehow, breaking the world as we know it... I think we'll be just fine. "
Its silent before she speaks again.
" Also, he's just a guy? Just shove some animus-touched, magic-blocking muzzle on him and punch him in the gut, you'll be fine. "

Queen Callisto is the Nightwing Queen in the s.au story. It used to be Quietsplitter, but I'll get to her later.
s.au takes place 200 years after the primary events of the books and has a moderately varied story in the areas past book 6.
Nightwings have (in the last 15 years) moved back into the Lost City of Night.
Well, I guess formerly Lost.
Callisto is named after Jupiter's second largest moon. in Greek Mythology, the name Callisto was a nymph or the daughter of King Lycaon. 
She is blind, her vision blurred to the point where its actually just useless. She can see faint blots of colour, but that's about it. She has been blind since hatching.
She is also the legal guardian of Rockyfate, taking him in after he reanimated. She is not his adoptive mother, nor is he a viable heir to the throne.
AppearanceQueen Callisto is a purple-toned nightwing with splotching on her back. She also has an above-average amount of shimmering silver scales, aside from her diamond tear scale.
Her underbelly has a pinkish hue compared to the rest of her scales, and she is decked out with clawslash scars. She has large pinbat ears and a canine-like muzzle. Her horns have a slight upward bend to them.
She typically wears a cloak made of bear fur and her crown, her jewelry assorting for most days, from rings to necklaces and bracelets.
PersonalityQueen Callisto isn't the best socialiser. Her morning rage is not the best impression on people.. but she doesn't mean to be like that, you can't just NOT be moody when you're moody!! Callisto has the problem of being an absolute troglodyte, rarely leaving the Starreach Tower. This is why she has Quietsplitter to help her. "Queen" Quietsplitter is a social mask, and Callisto's friend since... forever, really. Quietsplitter has her way with words, which makes her an excellent representative for when Callisto is invited to feasts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This does mean Quietsplitter is often mistaken for the Nightwing Queen, or Callisto is regarded as secretive, suspicious or mysterious (not exactly TOO wrong), but that isn't as bad as attending a feast when you haven't left your house in a month.

After the Death of Moonroyal 1 Starsearcher by the talons of Commander Radiant of the Hexacomb 2, the Nightwings fled the Rainforest. The conflict between Icewings and Nightwings had ended years ago, and yet a new (but non-personal) problem has appeared? How exhausing.
The Nightwings gather in a rather dull, dried up riverbed between the Rainforest and Jade Mountain. Some rest, others scamper around in panic or search for their relatives and friends. The only thing certain is who the heir is. Flanked by a pair of soldiers, Callisto is brought to the end of the crowd and lifted onto a boulder.
All gazes shift to her as the guards call across the crowd, drawing attention to the eldest and only daughter of Moonroyal Starsearcher, Callisto. She struggles to haul herself onto this annoyingly large boulder, peering over the blots of black, purple and blue scales over the muddy brown ground. Does this make them their Queen?
She shifts her shoulders, trying to figure out what the hell she was even supposed to be saying up here.
" Nightwings, the Rainwing's Forest isn't safe anymore. The Hexacomb is a threat that we can't fight if we stay in the Rainwing Kingdom. " She states the obvious, not really expecting the murmurs of agreement from the crowd, " We were treated well, but it's time we find a home to build up our strength as an individual tribe. "
There's a concept she's been thinking up for a while, yet some of the older dragons would still be cautious about it... but honestly, their fears are just based on stupid dragonet stories. " We shall return to the City of Night in the Talon Peninsula. "
The crowd becomes louder; not quite 'bursting into roars' but more of a ' loudly conferring among each other with a disbelieving, fearful or angered tone of voice'. Something like that. The pair of guards call over the crowd once more to silence them. They, eventually, settle down.
Callisto calls out for one specific dragon, raising her voice to get his attention. " Taleteller. " She starts. " Please make way for Taleteller to come to the front, before this.. boulder. "
It takes a minute, but eventually she recognises the frail blot of a pale, smoky grey nightwing before her. Taleteller.
" Taleteller, It's in your name, You are the one who knows all the stories about Darkstalker. Please, help me address the concerns about this. Why might moving to our former kingdom be a bad idea.? "
" ..Well, what if.. Darkstalker comes back? He's a truly powerful dragon, Young Princess. We'd have to flee once more if he- or anyone like him- comes anywhere near a powerful figure." Taleteller slowly says, picking one of the many options Callisto could hear floating around in his head.
" Darkstalker is gone, Taleteller. "
" But, just think about it. An animus could simply enchant him back into existence if they felt like it... probably. Look, it's not impossible for him to come back.
Callisto gives a huffily disappointed look. " Yeah but didn't.. whats 'er name... Peace..maker. Peacemaker. Isn't he already gone? "
" I remember them... " Taleteller sighs in the gap between her sentences. 3
" As far as I know, animus magic cannot reanimate the dead. (not until snowdrift's spell book) " Callisto sighs and closes her eyes, " So unless someone does something stupid like that somehow, breaking the world as we know it... I think we'll be just fine. "
Its silent, before she speaks again.
" Also, he's just a guy? Just shove some animus-touched, magic-blocking muzzle on him and punch him in the gut, you'll be fine. "
The Nightwings murmur, looking up at the Heir on the Rock.
" ..Does anyone have any better ideas on where we could go? " Callisto stands up, almost slipping off the rock as she does. The dragons mutter between each other, but nobody outwardly suggests.
" ..Then, our voyage shall begin. "

1: Moonroyal - When the Nightwings began their life in the Rainforest alongside Rainwings, they decided that they'd keep track of the royal family, in case they decided to leave. The Moonroyal is the one who'd be Queen if they were not a joint tribe.
2: Hexacomb - Not associated with the main Rainwing Kingdom; widespread but not large rebellion group in the depths of the forest in butterfly-net like dens. They have multiple goals, but the important one to this is to govern the Nightwing Kingdom population (not rainwings, specifically the nightwings) due to the problems that have been caused by their nobles. Commanded by Radiant (Rainwing), but has dragons of many tribes.
3: " I remember them... " Taleteller sighs in the gap between her sentences. : Taleteller, being 130-140 years old, was alive while Peacemaker was. This takes place about 130 years after the main events of the book, so Peacemaker and Taleteller were both alive, around the same age and in the same area (if i'm getting the timeline right..). Taleteller does live longer tho 💪💪
