The Dragonet Prophecy (Wings of Fire)

The Point of View is from Clay, a young MudWing dragonet who is raised by the Talons of Peace alongside four other dragonets: Tsunami, Glory, Starflight, and Sunny. Clay is part of a prophecy (called The Dragonet Prophecy, like the name of the book) which is as follows:

*When the war has lasted twenty years, the dragonets will come. When the land is soaked in blood and tears, the dragonets will come. Find the SeaWing egg of deepest blue, wings of night shall come to you. The largest egg in mountain high will bring to you the wings of sky. For wings of earth search through the mud for an egg the color of dragon blood, and hidden alone from the rival queens, the SandWing egg awaits unseen. Of three queens who blister blaze and burn, two shall die, and one shall learn if she bows to a fate that is stronger and higher, she shall have the power of wings of fire. Five eggs to hatch on the brightest night, five dragons born to end the fight. Darkness will rise to bring the light, the dragonets are coming…*

The book begins with Clay fighting Kestrel, one of their guardians. Kestrel steps on Clay’s tail, and when Clay protests, saying she is cheating, she disagrees because “[She is] [Clay’s] teacher, so [she] can’t cheat.” Kestrel later taunts Clay, asking him where the monster was that she saw when he was born.

Tsunami, the SeaWing dragonet, later saved Clay from Kestrel, although Clay still protested, saying that Kestrel would be extra mean to her during her training. Tsunami proposes the idea of escaping the cave to go and see the outside world, and meet their parents (whom Tsunami believes are the royal SeaWing family.)

Clay says that he will think about it, and later goes into a different segment of the cave to eat with the rest of the dragonets. Sunny, the SandWing dragonet, catches a lizard instead of eating the cows that were provided for them. Starflight, the NightWing, turns out to not have mind reading and prophetic powers like the other NightWings.

After eating, they decided to roleplay the history of Pyrrhia, their continent, by acting out Queen Oasis’ death. Tsunami tells Clay to be the scavenger who killed her, and Queen Oasis would be Sunny, who was the only SandWing with them. Starflight is Blaze, the dragon with the most support of the SandWings and IceWings, Glory, the RainWing, is Burn (may have mixed up Glory and Tsunami with roles; please double check this), and Tsunami is Blister.

They were almost done when Kestrel finds them doing it, and demands they stop for it is not really studying. She only punishes Tsunami, though Clay thinks that they should all be punished equally, for they were all doing the same thing. Kestrel said that she knew who the ringleader was, and that was why she was only punishing her.

They later learned of the arrival of a NightWing named Morrowseer, the one that wrote the Dragonet Prophecy that Sunny, Tsunami, Clay, Starflight, and technically Glory were all part of. The dragonets overhear the guardians talking to Morrowseer, who is very upset when he learns that a RainWing was taken instead of a SkyWing for the prophecy, even when they tell him that all of the SkyWing dragonets that were to hatch on the brightest night were killed by Queen Scarlet of the Sky Kingdom, and that Glory was a last-minute replacement.
