Moon Rising Darkstalker

A Guide to the Dragon World
'Lagoon' was an adult
female SeaWing queen who was introduced in Darkstalker and was the first victim of the Royal SeaWing
Massacre by her brother Albatross. Before her death, she ruled over the
SeaWing tribe with her husband, Humpback|King Humpback, during
Darkstalker's era. She was the mother of Splash and the great-aunt of Fathom and Pearl.

## Description

Lagoon had sapphire-blue scales and blue wings. She wore a crown, had a
small, refined frown, and a glittering smile.

## Personality

Lagoon was cold, poised, blunt, mean, divisive, sinister, scrutinizing,
and tended to either ignore or order around those she considered
insignificant. She spoke silkily and was skilled at negotiating peace.
She felt prejudice towards the lower classes, and believed in the higher
importance of royal dragons.

## Biography

### Pre-Series

Lagoon was next in line to rule the SeaWings, along with her sister,
Sapphire|Princess Sapphire. She often liked to tease her younger
brother, Albatross. One time, while teasing Albatross with Sapphire,
Albatross accidentally enchanted a clam to bite all of Sapphire's claws
off. Sometime afterwards, Lagoon forced Albatross to be her animus,
telling him he would never stop atoning for what he did to Sapphire.

### Legends

#### Darkstalker

Lagoon, alongside Albatross, was at a beach near the Island Palace for
the purpose of testing all of the two-year-old SeaWings for animus
magic. She sternly reminded Indigo not to disrupt the process, as she
was playfully flicking sand onto Fathom. After a brief quarrel with
Albatross, she watched as her brother pulled several coconuts out of
nearby palm trees with his magic, instructing the dragonets to pick up
their coconuts. After ordering their coconuts to fly through the air to
Albatross, Fathom was confirmed an animus as his coconut struck his
grandfather in the chest. She congratulated him in a rather sly manner,
as she wanted to use his power for her own needs and desires instead of
for her Kingdom of the Sea|kingdom.

Later on, the queen hosted a fancy party which was intended to negotiate
with the visiting SkyWings, as there had been conflict over their shared
border. She welcomed the two SkyWing delegates, Sunset|Princess Sunset and Eagle, displaying an enchanted fountain as proof of her
tribe's animus power. After Albatross finally appeared, she scolded him
for being late, and in response he slit her throat with a knife he
enchanted, killing her moments later.

### Field Guides

#### A Guide to the Dragon World

Lagoon's letters to and from Albatross regarding the Talons of Power
ceremony were featured in the SeaWing chapter of the guide.

She was later mentioned in the SkyWing chapter by Queen Carmine in her
letter to Queen Pearl following the massacre.

## Relationships

### Albatross

Lagoon did not seem to care about her brother and only used him for his
magic. She saw him as expendable and less presentable than the new
animus, Fathom. She constantly mentioned Albatross maiming Sapphire,
despite Albatross flinching away from mentions of the incident, as an
excuse to continue abusing his animus magic. It was her cruelty towards
him and her abuse of his magic that drove Albatross into madness, which
led to her death by his talons in the Royal SeaWing Massacre.

### Fathom

Before Fathom was revealed to be an animus dragon, Lagoon typically
ignored him. After the animus test, however, she smiled at him and
became much more interested in and controlling towards his affairs. He
once became angry towards her when she attempted to force Indigo into
deep-sea fishing at night because the palace had run out of her favorite
snack.

### Indigo

Lagoon openly disliked Indigo, who was terrified by the queen. She often
glared at Indigo and looked down her snout at the dragonet. As Fathom
grew older, her words towards Indigo became meaner and more pointed, and
she spoke to Indigo exactly as she did towards the servants. She thought
of Indigo as a "low-born" dragon and did not want her to marry her
grand-nephew, Fathom.

### Sapphire

She was shown to have respect for her sister despite Sapphire having
turned insane from the incident with Albatross. Lagoon was the only
royal SeaWing to visit Sapphire, who was living far away from the family
due to her mental condition. Her treatment of her brother in later years
was partially in an act of vengeance for what he had unintentionally
done to Sapphire.

## Quotes

I'd prefer sooner. If we find another animus in the tribe, that
would make us twice as powerful, which would be quite useful given how
the MudWings and RainWings have been behaving lately. And the earlier we
find her, the sooner you can start to train her, and the sooner I can
start to use her. Besides, I think we would all prefer to discover our
next animus in a less … dramatic fashion than you were discovered. Don't
you?

You are done complaining about this. The animus tests will
continue. You will administer them whenever I tell you to. You will
train any dragonet we find with powers like yours. And you will never
question my decisions again.
