== Backstory: ==
=== Darkened Skies: ===
Torch, along with his sister, Spiral, his friend Whirlwind, and Whirlwind's son, Sulfur, met Wildfire and her friends while they were patrolling. After asking the four dragonets a few questions about what they were doing there, Whirlwind flew back to the barracks, and Sulfur signaled that they should go. Torch made small talk for a few minutes with Ray, and said that maybe he would see them around later.
Later, Torch was helping his mother, Emerald, with her business at the market, along with Wildfire, who was sitting in the fireplace that they had in their stall to stay out of the way, when one of the SkyWing princesses, Flare, stopped by the stall to say hello. Torch smiled sheepishly, and waved. Ray turned yellow and laughed, causing Torch to be embarrassed. 
Torch asked Flare how she was doing, and Flare said she was doing fine, but that she was only there to escape Sparrow's paranoid talons. Torch told her that it was all right for her to be there, and that he didn't care what the Royal Family thought, to which Emerald glared at him about. A few minutes later, Flare moved on to the next stall, and Kindle, the Colonel of the SkyWing armies stormed up to the stall and mocked Torch and his mother, then stared at Wildfire for several minutes, before Ray asked her what she was doing there, turning a bloody red color. 
Kindle merely sniffed haughtily, and snarled that if it were up to her, she would have kicked the "dirty, moons-cursed lizards" out of the kingdom a long time before, to which Wildfire stormed out, and asked Kindle if she wanted to have a mouthful of Wildfire's fists. Kindle shook her head and hissed that she didn't, fear and hatred in her eyes. The colonel moved on, leaving Ray glaring in her direction, with Wildfire standing next to her, Wildfire's claws digging smoking gouges into the stone below. 
After Merlin was kidnapped and given to Kindle, Torch, along with Whirlwind, Indigo, Ray, Shadowender, Coldfront, Wildfire, Spiral, Merlin's father, Fulmar, and Wildfire's great-great grandfather, Petrichor, also known as Iron-claws, went to rescue him. They got to the cave where Merlin was being held, and Torch helped knock out the guards, while Wildfire and Ray went into the cave to get him out. There were several more guards in the cave, and while they were all busy fighting the guards, Kindle came into the cave. Torch was the only one who spotted her, and immediately leaped toward her, blasting fire in the older SkyWing's face and killing her, not knowing that Merlin was watching, horrified. 
Merlin avoided Torch for two weeks afterwards, and Torch felt bad about it.
