'Fjord' was an adult male IceWing who was introduced in The Dragonet Prophecy (book)|The
Dragonet Prophecy. Before being imprisoned by Scarlet, he fought as a
soldier for Blaze during the War of SandWing Succession. He was killed
by Glory's venom when it entered his eyes and opened wounds during
combat with Clay in the SkyWing palace#SkyWing Arena|SkyWing arena.

## Description

Fjord had pale, glacier-blue scales the color of sky reflected in snow,
slightly darker blue eyes, and silvery, strangely tough wings, as well
as a long tail, sharp claws, and icicle-sharp teeth. He was a head
taller than Clay, but appeared older and scarier. A long claw scratch
ran down his neck, with dried blood coating the scales surrounding it.

## Personality

Fjord appeared to be intent on surviving the arena and did not hesitate
to attack his opponents, even Clay, who was a dragonet at the time. As
determined as he was to survive, he also chose to play fairly, insisting
that Clay stop talking before Scarlet killed them both. Fjord won two
arena battles with only one injury, suggesting he was a skilled fighter,
like many other IceWings. He fought strategically, which became clear
when he exclaimed Clay did not fight like a MudWing, revealing he likely
judged how his opponent would fight him based on their tribe.

fighting Clay Clay first tried to reason with Fjord when they were
thrown into the arena together, which agitated the IceWing. Fjord was
very intent on winning the fight because that would mean he would be set
free. Clay then reluctantly fought him, surprising him with SkyWing
tactics he had learned from Kestrel under the Claws of the Clouds
Mountains|mountain. Starflight tried to warn Clay about the IceWing's
freezing frostbreath by pointing to his mouth and jumping around. Clay
only got the message just in time right before Fjord exhaled the
frostbreath and barely hit Clay's wing - he thought: "Fjord was
definitely doing something with his mouth - and it wasn't smiling."

Clay then spurted fire in Fjord's face, causing him to shriek in agony.
After Clay rolled under him and slashed his belly, Fjord yelled at him
that he did not fight like a MudWing. Clay briefly wondered whether
Kestrel would say he fought like a SkyWing. Eventually, Fjord pinned
Clay to the ground and was about to kill him when Tsunami flung herself
off of her spire, causing a diversion (dragging off many prisoners) and
distracting Fjord momentarily. The act could have killed Tsunami and
many prisoners. Most of the dragons in the arena were either flying
towards her or staring in her direction.

venom killing Fjord

Distracted by the diversion, there was enough time for Glory to spit
venom into the IceWing's already-scratched-and-scarred neck, face, and
eye, which led to his extremely painful death since RainWing venom kills
a dragon faster if it lands in the eyes or enters the bloodstream. Also
because of the distraction, Clay was the only one who saw Glory's venom,
so all the SkyWings, MudWings, and SandWings watching thought that Clay
had killed Fjord instead.

left The Hidden Kingdom

When Glory was disguised as an IceWing to get into Blaze's
fortress, she somewhat modeled Fjord, the prisoner she secretly killed
in the arena who was pitted against Clay. Clay winced when he saw the
IceWing disguise, and Glory guessed Clay knew who she based her colors
on. When Glory taught Jambu how to change into an IceWing disguise, she
has him imitate her imitating Fjord before she had him alter it. Jambu
was very impressed with how pretty IceWing scales were.

When Mastermind showed Starflight his RainWing venom studies,
Starflight thought back to the dragons he had seen it kill, like
Crocodile and Fjord.
