**Kagu** is a summerborn dragon warrior.

## Information

### Description

Kagu is described as having winter scales the color of yellow buttercups and large eyes that are nearly all gold.  Hikaru later says that Sverin looks like Kagu in his spring scales, suggesting that they are red.

## History

### In ***The Summer King Chronicles Arc***

*A Shard of Sun*

As Rashard was watching the warrior dragon training grounds, his tail accidentally goes outside the circle, and Isora calls him out for it. Afterwards, Kagu approaches Shard and accuses him of spying. After denying this, Shard asks Kagu why they train to fight if they don't participate in any wars, and asks Kagu if he has ever seen a real battle. Shard goes on to say what he has fought for, and some of the things he has done. He then says to Kagu, "What I'm asking you is if you've ever fought when it *mattered*". Insulted, Kagu calls Isora, the training master, and asks how long he will let Shard's 'spying' to continue. Hikaru flies over to defend Shard, and Isora tells Shard to leave, telling him his presence disrupts the young dragons training. Shard then challenges Kagu to spar.

Shard fairly wins the spar he challenged Kagu to, and though Kagu pretends to lose graciously, he grabs Shard's leg as he moves to leave the ring, with the implied threat "I will not forget this humiliation".

#### *By the Silver Wind*

Kagu is briefly mentioned by Hikaru when he tells Sverin that he looks like Kagu in his spring scales.

## Relationships

### Hikaru

Hikaru serves as Kagu's rival during sparing matches. They general get along poorly, due in part of their elemental differences and personalities. Like most Sunlanders, Kagu looks down on winterborns. But as a firedragon, Kagu is practically judgmental compared to non-summerborns and is arrogant. Hikaru looks down on Kagu for his arrogance and ill-temper.

## Trivia

By the Silver Wind/Prelude

The **Prelude** of *By the Silver Wind* is the first chapter.

## Summary

*Rhydda POV*

This is the prologue to the book. It starts with Rashard dreaming with Rhydda, Queen of the Fear-Mongering wyrms. Rhydda had apparently been as beautiful as the mountains, but over time her beauty wore down. Rhydda remembered about being attacked by the "unworthy" who called the wyrms the "blasphemous progeny of Tyr and Tor". She remembered her burns and scars from trying to flee with her mates, sons and daughters. Shard asked Rhydda all types of questions like if she lived in the Sunland or of she flew under the sun. Rhydda remembers feeling pain that came from the sun and remembering that she didn't deserve to fly under it. Shard then asks about where her home was and he shows her "six islands in an icy, cold sea with mountains and woods".

At the end, Shard tells her that she used to fly under the sun but she still thinks it's a dream. Afterwards, she realizes that it wasn't a dream, instead it was a memory, and wakes up.

## Important Events

* Rhydda dreams with Rashard, and remembers flying under the sun.

Dawn Spire

The **Dawn Spire** is a place in the Winderost where the Aesir live. It is a giant nest for all of the natural Aesir gryfons. It is, possibly, the largest gryfon aerie in the world. It experiences arid summers and rainy winters. The Dawn Spire also includes ancient rock formations of towers, spires, rock bridges and a small canyon. A spring runs year-round through the area. The Dawn Spire, though it is the name of the aerie itself, is also a large crescent-shaped rock tower in the aerie where gryfons gather for important meetings. The level of the tower, called a tier, respresents the rank of the gryfon.

## Wind Spire

It is said by Mar that when Sverin was a prince, he stood there as a sentry once. This is a post that those of the highest regard are able to stand on, with another gryfon being Stigr, who during his new life, stood on the post for three years.

She has the slitted eyes of a reptile but in the book Skyfire, she was shown to have dilated eyes. Her eyes are also enormous. Her voice sounds old and brittle, as if she were ancient, but there is an incongruous freshness to her expression, a wonder and naïve softness of the very young. She has also been described to have gleaming white wings.

## History

### Pre-Series

Amaratsu was in the Warrior Class in the Sunland. Her mate went away from her to speak with the wyrms and try to make peace, but he never came back so she thought he was killed by the wyrms. In her sadness she went to the Horn of Midragr with her egg to seek out the Summer King who she thought would bring peace and to also teach her son the same values.

### In ***The Summer King Chronicles Arc***

#### *Skyfire*

In Skyfire she was first seen calling out to "the summer king" in a dream. The dream reached to Rashard who saw the mountains which Amaratsu was in. He traveled to her a little too late thinking that the dream held signs like the Skyfire and the white of the mountain as representing he should go in the winter. But, he was wrong and Amaratsu told him the white was herself and the skyfire is the fire in his heart.

She then told him the 'false' tale of the Kajar as she knew it to Shard and saved him when the wyrms broke in from the cave by calling out to the earth and turning her body into hard crystal to protect Shard and the egg.

## Trivia

* In Shard of Sun It's revealed that Amaratsu was part of the warrior class while her mate was a Blacksmith
* She's the maternal grandmother of Terasu
* Unlike most Sunland Dragons she doesn't distrust all gryfons as she was not very wary of Shard when he approached him
* Amaratsu's name may be a corruption of Amaterasu, the name of the Japanese Sun Goddess.

Skyfire/Einarr's Secret

## 6. Einarr's Secret

"Shard straightened, standing tall among the ferns, letting the scent of the river and the feel of the White Mountains at his back give him strength. He thought of a hundred different things to say--to remind Einarr he was the prince of the Vanir, that he planned to reclaim the islands, that it was his right. Promises and threats swirled into his head, and he tried to think what Stigr would recommend, or what his own father might have done." (Page 29)

"Am I that frightening? Kjorn thought in dismay. As frightening as my father? Surely he wasn't. Surely Einarr knew Kjorn wouldn't punish him for a failed hunt." (Page 31)

### Succeeded by

Halfnight

**Einarr's Secret** is the sixth chapter in *Skyfire*.

## Summary

*Rashard POV*

The chapter starts out with Einarr hunting Aodh. Shard stops him, begging Aodh to spare his friend. Aodh does, and runs away.
Rashard demands to know why Einarr would hunt a Named creature on Sun Isle, but stops after realizing how skinny Einarr is. The copper gryfon is surprised that Shard is alive, saying that they saw him fall. Shard thinks about what is uncle would say, as Einarr is now just another member of Sverin's pride. Shard tells Einarr that he didn't fall, but instead dove as the Vanir don't fear the sea.

Shard asks Einarr not to tell Sverin, and the copper gryfon tells him that Sverin already leads them on a mad wolf hunt. He says, however, that if he told the king of Shard, then he could possibly gain glory and more food for himself and his mate.
Shard almost attacks Einarr to silence him, but then remembers that he was only desperate, and that violence wasn't his way. Shard tells Einarr that his brother and father live, and that they follow him, as he welcomes anyone who wishes to follow him. He then says that if Einarr needs to sell him out, then he should do what he must, before flying off. He sees Hugin, and tells him to watch his friend.

*Kjorn POV*

Einarr returns to the Sun Isle, and tells Kjorn that his hunting failed. He says that they brought other small game such as quail. Kjorn knows that he can't be angry with him, as his party had also failed. He sees his father on the rocks, and thinks that the king couldn't be angry after they brought food, but when Kjorn had brought some meat to his father, the king had walked back up on his rocks and didn't speak again. Einarr almost tells Kjorn about Shard, but changes his mind at the last moment, saying that he didn't see anyone else in the mountains. After Einarr flies away, Kjorn asks Caj about when a gryfon answers a question he wasn't asked, and Caj replies by saying when he's lying.

## Synopsis

### Rise of the Dragon Star

*Ren is a young gryfess on the verge of initiation into the Dawn Spire pride. She comes from a distinguished line of huntresses, and is expected to follow in their path.*

*Unfortunately, the only thing Ren is interested in hunting is knowledge. When her curiosity over a mysterious discovery costs her the initiation hunt, her mother banishes her from the family den.*

*Devastated, Ren is determined to redeem herself. Her chance comes when she takes part in an exchange of young gryfons and journeys to the Silver Isles. Instead of adventure and fellowship, Ren and the others find a pride  suffering strange calamities, and a deadly, sweeping illness that has driven them from their home island.*

*Gryfons are dying, and Ren sets out to find answers.  She thinks the disasters and the illness might be connected to her discovery at home, and if she’s right, she could save the pride.*

*...but if she's wrong, they will all pay the price.*

## Major Events

* Star-like rocks (possibly meteorites) fall from the sky.
* The Silver Isles Pride falls victim to a Plague.
* Halla and Ren attend their first Greatmeet.
* Ren meets a Sunland Dragon named Suijen.

Azdaja

**Azdaja** is the 4th boss you will encounter. She is a tricky boss that buries herself into the ground then uses her serpents to attack. Her Arcana Release Quest is called "Twin-Head Snake."

## **Attacks**

### **Burrow and Strike**

Azdaja will bury herself to the ground, using only the serpents' heads to attack players. Her serpents' heads will pop out in random locations and bite the ground in your or any random direction for which you suffer damage when it hits you. After wiggling five times, the heads will rise in a flash and will damage you if you're near, which can be blocked.

### **Burrow and Strike (Grand Azdaja Ver.)**

Grand Azdaja's version is the same as Azdaja's except that after the heads wiggle 5 times, they leave a pool of poison when they detach from the ground.

### **Azdaja Spin**

Azdaja will command the serpents to stick their heads to the ground then proceed to spin herself a full 360 degrees, damaging any players surrounding her.

### **Burrow and Surface**

Azdaja will burrow herself to the ground, then dive back up. She is temporarily stunned when she appears.

### **Burrow and Spinning Strike**

Same as above but she will continue to burrow until she gets near a player and then will attempt to do a spinning surfacing to heavily damage the player.

### **Burrow and Dive (v3)**

Azdaja will just burrow to move around the arena in a circular pattern. She will either fly into the air and dive into the player, or do the same move as above. You can still get hit if you are caught in her path.

### **Poison Ball**

Azdaja will throw two poison balls across from her to the ground. Done only after the Counter-Melee Duel.

## **Trivia**

* In Christian mythology and iconography, the famous St. George icon is described as 'slaying Azdaja,' and not a dragon.
* Azdaja's, as well as Grand Azdaja's, theme is "Vs. Guardian I".
* The mini map serves an important role in this fight, cause you can use it to quickly locate the popping snake heads instead of rotating the camera.
* One indication that Azdaja will jump up to damage you critically is that she will stop centerfield for a while, as she is doing this prepare yourself cause she will jump up to spiral slam you.
* "Unwary travelers who fall for this demoness' peerless beauty will get a rude awakening when her twin serpents erupt from the ground and devour them." -Monster Encyclopedia
* Grand Azdaja - "This demoness is in revolt against all that is good and decent and has a cruel, sadistic streak running through the core of her very being." -Monster Encyclopedia
