Elemental Shift (series)

***Elemental Shift*** is a *Wings of Fire* fanfiction series that was written in 2013. It was the first ever book series ever written by Moon Luna that is succeeded by *The Rise of SkyWings*.

In 2022, there was an attempt to remake the series as a trilogy; however, it was ultimately scrapped as the author was working on *FeatherWings* at the time.

## Premise

*Elemental Shift* takes place during the main events of books 1-5 of *Wings of Fire*. It is an alternate version of the main series, and focuses on five dragonets - Puddles, River, Gleam, Ralph, and Tigress - and their quest to fulfill The Elemental Shift Prophecy.

## Books

### *Elemental Shift*

**Point of View: Puddles**

*The dragonets will come.*

Puddles has lived his whole life in the SkyWing palace, training to be the next Dragonet of Destiny alongside his friends.
But two dragonriders have another plan, and will launch the five into a changing world nobody saw coming.

### *The Lost Element*

**Point of View: River**

*Reach the waterfall, and discover a new battle.*

After escaping the Mud Kingdom, the dragonets and their allies flee to Club Penguin, where the elemental dragons live.
However, war looms on the horizon when the ShadowWings invade the WaveWings.

### *The Hidden Kingdom*

**Point of View: River**

*A new challenge has presented itself.*

In the aftermath of the ShadowWing invasion, tensions rise.
River and Flood are taken from their allies into hostile territory. Now they must choose the fate their talons must walk... join the enemy, or fight the darkness.

### *The Dark Secret*

**Point of View: River**

*The tides are turning.*

River has joined the enemy, while her sister has fled.
The sudden assassination of Hiccup and Toothless brings to light the reach of the ShadowWings' impact and forces everyone to fight for their lives.

### *The Outcome*

**Point of View: none**

*Everything has come to this.*

Club Penguin, the Owl Kingdoms, and Pyrrhia come together for a final showdown against the ShadowWings.
The War of SandWing Succession comes to a close.

## Differences from Source Material

* In *Wings of Fire*, Thorn becomes the next SandWing queen. In *Elemental Shift*, Blister becomes queen (as this was written way before *The Brightest Night* was released).
* In *Elemental Shift*, Puddles has a younger brother that hatched several years after him. In *Wings of Fire*, MudWings lay clutches whose egg counts vary, and the parents don't take care of the eggs.
* Blaze is portrayed as an antagonist in the series. In *Wings of Fire*, Blaze is the youngest, last, and most vain daughter of Oasis.
* Hiccup and Toothless are assassinated in the series. In *How to Train Your Dragon*, Hiccup becomes chief of Berk and Toothless becomes the King of the Dragon after the dragons head to the Hidden World. Both are presumed to have died violently or peacefully, as the series never shows this in modern-day HTTYD.

## Predictions

As this series was written before *The Brightest Night*, there are some events in the series that are considered "prophetic" by the author.

* The fan-species in the series resemble a mix of various dragon species (aka are hybrids). Hybrids were not officially confirmed until the release of *The Brightest Night* with Sunny.
* There is a character in *Club Penguin* named Tusk who is the main antagonist of *Card-Jitsu Snow*, which was released June 2013. The overarching antagonist of *Elemental Shift* is a dragon named Tusk, which was written when the *Club Penguin* game was in beta play-testing.

## Trivia

* *Elemental Shift* was written soon after Luna was introduced to *Wings of Fire* via *The Lost Heir*; it was also written when they played the game *Club Penguin* and were into the *How to Train Your Dragon* franchise and the *Guardians of Ga'Hoole* series. As a result, the books are chaotic and sort-of a crossover.
	+ As of 2023, Luna no longer plays *Club Penguin* (they outgrew it a long time ago); no longer reads *Guardians of Ga'Hoole* (they outgrew it a long time ago); and are no longer into the *How to Train Your Dragon* franchise after *HTTYD: The Hidden World* was released in 2019.
