"I regretted my first time feeling freedom since I ripped it away from so many."
Quicksilver, known to many as her name the Queen gave her, The Dawn of the Dark Eclipse, which was shortened to just Eclipse when people refer to her as her 'name'. Quicksilver is only her false name, a name to throw people off so that they don't recognize her. Many find her weird due to her uncomfortability with going against orders, an effect still left after a spell to make Quicksilver be a dragon who could not think of questioning or disobeying orders, much less breaking rules. But when a group of runaways from the SeaWing Queen met her, they taught her that. The spell was phased and weathered quickly, questions erupting into Eclipse's mind about her true purpose. The truth is, spells can only discourage you from thinking about something, but you will think of it sooner or later. And the perfect trigger to these doubts was a breakout from Queen Tidal's prisons.
==Past==
"It's surprising everyone always thinks of her story the same way. In their versions, its always her at fault, her at fault for murder. She did it, she killed them, she's the heartless monster who doesn't care. In my version, it's the Queen who's the root of the problem. Not the child who got dragged along." (a line from Halflight, Eclipse's best friend)
Eclipse wasn't born on the volcano, but she wasn't born on a full moon either. In fact, she was hatched in an Eclipse, hence the title Queen Tidal gave her, as her 'little assassin'. Eclipse didn't know any better, so up until she was 5, she followed orders with not even the slightest shine of doubt emerging. It wasn't intentional, though. It was a spell, forced from an animus while Eclipse was too young to remember, not even able to talk at the time. Her memory as a child was generally terrible compared to most NightWings, but it improved over time, until it became better than anyone else she knew. Almost photographic, although she was unsure about saying 'definitely photographic'. Despite being small, her wings were much more flexible than the average NightWing's, and she definitely had more stamina. Her wings could also easily support her small body since they were large, like a SkyWings. She has no sign of SkyWing blood though, and definitely no signs of being a hybrid herself. She killed happily, although she didn't know why she had to kill. Her first victim was a young MudWing who had too many animus touched objects. Than an IceWing who defied Tidal's orders. After that, an elderly SeaWing who told stories of the time before Tidal's harsh reign. Still no remorse. More and more deaths. Souls taken effortlessly with the swipe of a poison dipped talon. 1. 2. 3. 27. 58. Before she knew it, she had lost count of the souls she had taken. 6. 15. 68. She had lost count of those nights she wondered if she was doing the right thing. She always served Queen Tidal with no questions asked. Gold coins dropping into her hand. 7. 8. 9. 80. She had lost count of those too. She was rich by now, but she felt as if her soul was begging for a drink of purity. It didn't feel like she was rich. Chances left. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. 0. She had kept count of that.
The little village dragonets hid at the sight of her. Dragons begged for their friends to stay safe at the sight of her. Dragons were silent wherever she went. She was the evil one. The one who had killed their brothers and sisters without a second thought. Monster said their faces. Little dragonets looked as if they wanted to cry. Eclipse stuck close to the palace from then on. Everyone resumed with their lived, but when they saw the fade of silver wings, they were gone like the wind.
