Dragonslayer

Deserter

'Heath', formerly known as the 'Dragonslayer', is an adult male human
who was introduced in Dragonslayer. He is the father of Ivy, the husband
of Lark, and formerly the lord of Valor. Heath is the "false"
dragonslayer, claiming to be the one who killed Queen Oasis when it was
actually Stone, his older brother. Subsequently, it led to Heath taking
all the credit for killing Oasis and becoming the lord of Valor.

## Description

Heath has a rangled black beard and burn scars covering half his body.
He wears a gold earring shaped like a sword in each ear and always
carries a sword with him. He is described by Leaf to be potbellied.

## Personality

Heath is short-tempered, manipulative, self-centered, and selfish. Heath
is described to be slow, tending to dawdle, to stop and chat to anyone
he saw, to sit down and eat whatever extra food is lying around. He
would banish anyone who questioned his story about killing Queen Oasis
or got too close to his treasure. According to Ivy, he was continuously
boasting about his feats and telling his story repeatedly to people.
However, in reality, Heath was a deceiving liar, having lied to Valor's
residents about killing Oasis and taking credit for everything, and even
deliberately leaving out the part of leaving Rose behind. He showed a
complete disregard for the needs of the other villagers of Valor. On
several occasions, he disregarded his own laws and even made up a law to
banish Pine from Valor for going too close to the old village and his
treasure.

When Ivy tried to convince Rose to return to Valor with her so that
Heath would "stop feeling guilty about her," Rose is skeptical, claiming
that she would not change anything and that Heath never listened to
reason and was always getting mad over little things.

Heath is also very selfish and greedy. When Ivy considers returning the
SandWing treasure Heath took, Stone said that Heath would never give up
his treasure "in a million years, not to save a single soul, or a
thousand souls," saying he loves his treasure more than anything in the
world.

However, in the end, it is clear that Heath is a coward, as when Wren
confronts him with Sky, Heath crumples to the ground, apologizing and
publicly admitting that he never killed Oasis, but it was, in fact,
Stone who did.

## Biography

### The Dragonet Prophecy

The Dragonet Prophecy

left
Heath was indirectly mentioned as one of the scavengers
who killed Oasis.

The Lost Heir
left

Heath was indirectly mentioned when Tsunami saw two scavengers stranded
in the storm and thought of the scavengers that killed Queen Oasis. She
expressed anger towards the two scavengers, but gave them her mercy by
putting them somewhere where they would not drown, thinking that despite
what the scavengers did, she would let them live.

The Hidden Kingdom
left

Heath and his siblings were indirectly mentioned when Glory
explained to Jambu about how the War of SandWing Succession started.

The Dark Secret
left
Heath and his siblings were indirectly mentioned during Starflight and
Fatespeaker's conversation when they found out that the NightWings
tracked scavenger dens because they wanted to find Oasis' stolen
treasure.

The Brightest Night
left

In the prologue, Heath was one of the scavengers Queen Oasis
heard. Later, Smolder and Sunny discussed the scavengers that had
supposedly stolen the SandWing treasure. Smolder had never figured out
how the scavengers managed to steal all the treasure, and Sunny thought
that it might be because another dragon stole it, before figuring out
that could not be true, because if a dragon had the Eye of Onyx, they
would be queen already.

### The Jade Mountain Prophecy

Darkness of Dragons

Heath was not
mentioned by name, but appeared in the prologue, heading towards Queen
Oasis' palace on horseback, alongside Stone and Rose. Palm wondered why
they were heading towards a palace with dragons, but soon forgot about
them.

### Legends

Dragonslayer
left
Heath first appeared in
the prologue when he, Rose, and Stone attempted to steal treasure from
the sand dragon queen. He was very excited about the prospect of owning
rooms full of dragon treasure. When Queen Oasis noticed the scavengers,
Heath attempted to stab her underbelly but ended up losing his grip and
staggering sideways. After Stone killed the dragon, Heath was very
jubilant until Stone mentioned their sister. Heath told his brother that
their sister was dead and that they should get out with the treasure
while they still could.

Heath was later mentioned by Rowan as "the dragonslayer" when
she told Leaf that it was possible to fight back against the dragons,
and again by Ivy and her mother when Ivy asked if her father was famous.

Later, he talked to Foxglove about Wingwatchers' dragon sightings, then
left Valor, claiming to be checking the orchards.

Heath later appeared at the Wingwatcher ceremony, praising the
Wingwatchers and making Ivy, Violet, and Daffodil into Wingwatchers.

Later on in the story, Ivy and her friends unraveled the truth about
Heath. They found out that he lied about and hid many things, such as
leaving Rose out of his story. They also found out that he would arrest
people who knew too much about the truth or was a threat to him. Ivy and
her friends decided to take Heath's treasure.

Heath eventually ordered the Wingwatchers to be arrested alongside Leaf.
He believed that there was a conspiracy to murder him. This caused Ivy
and Leaf to flee Valor.

At the end of the book, Heath's lies were exposed to Valor. Under the
impression that Sky was a desert dragon, Heath fearfully admitted that
Stone was the one who killed Oasis. Heath ultimately lost his treasure
and title of Valor's ruler.

The Wingwatchers are some of the most important people in
Valor! […] We have always needed brave young people like you to watch
the skies for our greatest enemies. You protect us all. You are our
first line of warning and defense. As long as we have Wingwatchers, the
dragons will never find us. Of course, if they do, I'll slay them and
save us all. But what you do is very important, too. Thank you for
volunteering! Let's raise a toast to your sharp eyes and your courage!

Foxglove, […] Perhaps it would be wise to confine the younger
recruits ‒ and yourself ‒ to the tunnels for the foreseeable future. If
you can't recognize when a storm is on its way while you're literally
staring at the sky, it seems you might all need a little more training.
[…] We can't have the daughter of the Dragonslayer getting sick, after
all.
