'Oasis' was an adult female SandWing queen who was introduced in The Brightest Night (book)|The Brightest
Night. She ruled her tribe prior to the War of SandWing Succession and
was the mother of Blaze, Blister, Burn, Smolder, Scald, and Singe. She
was killed by Stone twenty years prior to the events of The Dragonet Prophecy.

## Description

Oasis was a huge SandWing, even larger than Burn. She had a narrow,
snakelike face, obsidian-black eyes, and yellow-brown scales in addition
to a dark tail barb.

On the day of her death, she wore keys around her neck that opened the
doors of her treasure rooms, as well as a black, diamond-embedded, onyx
band encircling her head.

## Personality

Oasis was cruel, powerful, and wealthy, as she owned large chambers
filled with jewels and trinkets. She did awful things to ensure her
throne. As scary as Six-Claws considered Blister and Burn, he could not
picture either of them ever defeating Oasis. Despite her power, she was
slightly paranoid, destroying anyone she saw as a threat to her throne
and only allowing there to be three heirs. The queen was firm and
powerful but made great decisions for her tribe that led to much
success. The SandWings were undeniably loyal to her, and many were
grief-stricken when they heard of her death. Overall, Oasis was a great
and influential Dragons|dragon who surely would have brought her tribe
great wealth and power if it had not been for her untimely death.

## Biography

### The Dragonet Prophecy

left The Dragonet Prophecy (book)|The Dragonet
Prophecy
Sunny pretended to be Oasis while the Dragonets of
destiny|dragonets were acting out how the war started. Oasis was later
mentioned when Burn incredulously asked Scarlet about the dragonets
fighting scavengers, while the former remarked on how it only took three
of them to kill Burn's mother.

Glory recounted how Oasis was a great and powerful queen
before her untimely death that started the war after seeing SandWing
stronghold|Burn's stronghold.

At Blaze's fortress, Blaze explained how one of the tapestries was made
to recount the story of how her brother, Smolder, fell in love with Palm
and tried to keep the relationship a secret from Oasis. They maintained
their relationship until she ran away and broke his heart, though Blaze
was sure that Oasis had Palm killed to prevent any new heirs from being
conceived.

The prologue followed Queen Oasis's point of view on the
night she was killed by three scavengers: Stone, Heath, and Rose.

Oasis had known that Blister wanted to be the next queen from the moment
she had learned that all she would need to do was kill her mother. Oasis
had gotten along well with her eldest daughter, Burn, and kept her
entertained by giving her "creepy things" to collect. Oasis described
Blaze as "dizzy" and that she would be "a terrible queen," but she was
"an acceptable daughter" and that she would never have to worry about
what Blaze would do to her.

On the second day Sunny was at Burn's stronghold, Smolder exposed four
large rooms to her. Those were the rooms that contained the waves of
treasure stolen from Queen Oasis, now totally empty. They attempted to
discover how the three scavengers could have possibly carried that much
treasure, but also discussed her death. He mentioned that they heard her
roaring in the middle of the night, and when they hurried to find her,
they found her dead. A scavenger-sized spear was plunged into her eye,
and her tail-barb was cut off. They never found any remains of treasure,
however, there were venom drops beside the scavenger's trail, signifying
that they probably took her tail barb with them.

After Queen Oasis's death, Burn supposedly chased her two sisters out of
the palace and renamed it her stronghold. Burn buried Oasis where she
died and built an obelisk inscribed "Here lies Queen Oasis, mother of
Queen Burn. Her bones now belong to the sands of time." Thorn described
it as very poetic for Burn.

Later, at the stronghold, when everyone is trying to decide who the next
queen should be, Flower begins digging next to the obelisk. The bones of
Queen Oasis are there, with the Eye of Onyx stashed in her mouth, along
with some of the treasure the scavengers stole.

recalled that a scavenger had killed Queen Oasis.

Tourmaline mentioned Oasis in her conversation with Ruby, mentioning
that Oasis had been queen longer than Scarlet had.

mentioned that someone in the Scorpion Den was Oasis's granddaughter,
later revealed to be Onyx. He said that Burn, Blister, and Blaze did not
have any dragonets, but one of the princes was known to have a lover,
Palm, then revealed that Onyx was Smolder's daughter, although Qibli
blurted this fact out before he could confirm it. Some SandWing
soldiers, Agave and Torch, locked Prickle up in Oasis's dungeon for
twenty years, driving her insane, though Queen Oasis never saw her, as
she had been killed by the scavengers first.

### Legends

Dragonslayer
In the prologue, Queen
Oasis was attacking Stone, Heath, and Rose so that she can reclaim her
treasure from them. She was eventually accidentally killed in the battle
by Stone with a spear. Heath then cuts off her barb as a trophy and
proof of her death and puts it in his home in Valor, where he used it to
hide his treasure. She was mentioned many times as "The Queen of the
Sand Dragons."

Fierceteeth asked Saguaro
if it was true that the gibbering mad SandWing prisoner a few cages
down, referring to Prickle, had been locked up in the dungeon since the
rule of Queen Oasis.

Deserter
Queen Oasis was mentioned
multiple times throughout the winglet. Six-Claws, his parents, and many
other SandWings appeared to be quite loyal to their queen. Smolder
expressed how mad he was at her because he would never find out what
Queen Oasis had done to his lover, Palm. Her death was heard by several
dragons throughout the stronghold. By the time they rushed out to see
what caused the noise, Oasis was already dead. While several citizens, including Ostrich (W3)|Six-Claws' mother, grieved, Burn and Blister
began arguing over which of them should be queen, since neither of them
killed her. Blister talked Burn out of dueling for the throne and
instead agreed to first track down the scavengers who killed Oasis.
Smolder's eyes glimmered with satisfaction at his mother's death,
because of what he believed she did to Palm.

## Relationships

### Blaze

Blaze was described by Oasis to be the "dizzy" one, and that she did not
think Blaze would be a good queen. Nevertheless, Oasis does have love
for her, as she mentioned Blaze to be "a bad queen but a good and
acceptable daughter."

### Blister

Oasis had a disliking for her middle daughter and knew that she would be
the one to challenge her one day. She once thought about how Blister
would be the one to kill her, which did not happen, as she was killed by
a scavenger the same day.

### Burn

Oasis and her eldest daughter had a good relationship. It was mentioned
that she would gift Burn with creepy things for her collection, showing
her favoritism for the princess. Burn also seemed the most outraged when
Oasis died. Burn and Oasis understood each other, apart from Burn's
obsession with mutilating animals.

### Char

It was mentioned that whenever she was angry, she would kick her
Char|husband from the palace for quite some time. The two seemed to have
a mutual relationship, as she never seemed to harbor a clear dislike for
him.

### Palm

Oasis disapproved of and did not like Palm due to her relationship with
Smolder, as she would create more heirs to the throne. Oasis sent guards
to find Palm and arrest her to secure her power. Smolder says that he
believes that Oasis made Palm "disappear" meaning she got rid of her.
Even after her death, her suspicions were true, and Palm had a daughter
who wanted the throne.

### Smolder

Oasis valued her own agenda over Smolder's happiness, showing that she
had little regard for her own son. She sent guards to find and retrieve
Palm, knowing that Smolder may have dragonets with her, further showing
that she valued her spot on the throne.

## Trivia

  - She had carefully planned to have exactly three possible heirs to
    the throne so that she would not have too many Dragon royalty#Royal
    Challenges|challengers, which is why she killed her two sisters when
    Blister and Blaze hatched.
  - Queen Oasis is not descended from Scorpion, but instead from a
    commoner that was chosen by the Eye of Onyx to end a terrible
    queen's reign.
  - She is revealed to have stashed the Eye of Onyx in her treasury
    instead of wearing it during her reign, which implies that she might
    not have trusted the necklace like Thorn currently does or perhaps
    she did not trust Animus enchantments|animus-touched objects at all.
  - There is a rumor that Oasis hired Cobra to kill her sisters to
    secure her spot on the throne.
