'Webs' is an adult male SeaWing who was introduced in The Dragonet Prophecy. Formerly a member
of the Talons of Peace, he was one of the Talons of Peace#Guardians of
the dragonets|guardians of the dragonets alongside Dune and Kestrel,
tasked with teaching them about the history and geography of Pyrrhia and
is the sole surviving guardian. He currently resides at Jade Mountain
Academy as the school's history teacher.

## Description

Webs has blue-green scales and wings, as well as a long tail and body.
He is heavy and large, bigger than Clay and Tsunami, and has a scar on
his side near his tail, caused by an injury from Blister's venomous tail
barb. He is shivering and elderly.

## Personality

Webs is pleasant but stern, with a maddeningly slow voice. He is
infamous in the SeaWing tribe for deserting during a battle and later stealing Tsunami's egg for the The Dragonet Prophecy (prophecy)|Dragonet
Prophecy, causing others to constantly speak of his treachery. While
caring for the dragonets, he taught them everything he could and tried
to bring back prey they liked and was much kinder than the other
guardians. However, he never stopped Dune and Kestrel from abusing the
dragonets. Riptide later mentioned that Webs has always been considered
weak and cowardly. However, he did truly care for the Dragonet Prophecy,
as he was willing to leave behind his wife and son in order to help
fulfill it. He hates killing other dragons. Similar to Nautilus, he
believed peace was the most important thing, even at a cost. He always
believed it when he told the dragonets that it was for peace. He does
not like being alone without any support and could not understand why
the dragonets ran off by themselves. He felt incredibly guilty about
what happened to the Summer Palace and blamed himself for the attack. He
believes education is important.

## Biography

left
Pre-Series
After residing in the
Kingdom of the Sea most of his life, Webs deserted the SeaWings during a
battle, creating his reputation for being a coward and a traitor. He
left behind his wife, who was later killed in a battle as punishment for
presumably helping him steal Tsunami's egg, and his son, Riptide, who
later joined and worked for the Talons of Peace to meet his father,
though he never did. Webs then switched alliance to the Talons and was a
member for several years. He stole Tsunami's egg from the Deep
Palace#Royal Hatchery|Royal Hatchery to fulfill the prophecy, which
required a "SeaWing egg of deepest blue," as he was convinced it was
Tsunami's egg. He achieved this by drugging the guards and taking
Tsunami's egg while a battle was going on; therefore, everyone was
distracted. Although him stealing her egg unintentionally saved Tsunami
from Orca's statue, Coral hated Webs for this and wanted to kill him so
she would never see him again. Unable to, at that moment, kill Webs
herself, she settles with killing his wife. This affected Webs
significantly.

Webs was also the one who stole Glory's egg from the Rainforest
Kingdom|rainforest. His idea was to get a RainWing egg as a replacement
for the destroyed SkyWing egg, saying there had to be five eggs no
matter under what circumstances.

### The Dragonet Prophecy

left The Dragonet Prophecy (book)|The Dragonet
Prophecy
Webs was one of the three guardians who raised the
dragonets of destiny, his job was to teach them history. He raised the
dragonets of destiny along with Kestrel and Dune for six years. The day
that Morrowseer came to inspect the dragonets, he saw Glory, the
replacement for the dead SkyWing, for the first time. Morrowseer was
visibly disgusted with her and decided she needed to be killed. Webs,
who had joined the Talons of Peace to stop killing dragons, refused to
do this. Dune, who had been maimed in War of SandWing Succession|the war
before joining the Talons, refused to participate in the murder as well,
which left Kestrel to kill the RainWing.

After the dragonets' smoke signal accidentally led Scarlet to the Claws
of the Clouds Mountains|mountain, Dune was killed by Scarlet, and
Kestrel was kidnapped with the dragonets and taken to the SkyWing
palace. Before Webs could be taken prisoner with the remaining dragons,
Kestrel shoved him into the river, and he left to inform the Talons of
Peace of what happened.

left The Lost Heir

After learning of the dragonets' capture, the Talons of Peace sought out
and found Webs hiding in the river. Nautilus, the leader, then stated
they had no further use for him and ordered Cirrus, an IceWing, to kill
Webs. However, he got away with the help of Crocodile, a new Talon.
Crocodile recommended he go back to the Kingdom of the Sea, as Queen
Coral was supposedly merciful these days.

From then on in the book, Webs was mentioned many times by Queen Coral
as a traitor and deserter since Coral hated Webs for stealing Tsunami's
egg. It was later figured out in the book that Riptide was Webs' son,
and that was why Queen Coral hated Riptide as well.

Webs went back, but Coral was still furious about what he had done six
years earlier, and she told him that she forced his wife to fight in the
first line of the war, where she was killed. Then Coral threw him in
prison to be later executed. However, the dragonets freed Webs from his
prison, along with Riptide, and decided to leave the kingdom. To his
surprise, though, Crocodile had followed him there. She had secretly
been a spy and informed Burn's alliance of the location of the Summer
Palace. This led to a carefully planned attack by the SkyWings and
MudWings and the destruction of the Summer Palace. Before he got away
with the dragonets, he was grazed near the tail by Blister's barb,
leaving him injured critically with SandWing venom in his wound.

During their trek to the rainforest, Glory thought Webs was
intentionally slowing their journey. When the group met
Magnificent|Queen Magnificent, she allowed the dragonets to take Webs to
the RainWing healer's pavilion| healer's pavilion to be treated for his
venom. After the dragonets found the NightWing tunnels|tunnels to the
Kingdom of Sand, Sunny brought back some Plants#Medicinal plants|cactus

venom. After the cactus juice antidote, Webs slowly started healing from
his injury.

## Relationships

### Clay

Webs seemed overjoyed that Clay was alive when they were reunited.

### Coral

Upon returning to the Kingdom of the Sea, Coral snarled at Webs and
stated that he was cowardly. She was enraged towards him, as she
considers him the tribe's biggest traitor. She was so angry towards him
that she reassigned his wife from kitchen duty into military service,
causing her inevitable death. She was quick to tell Webs about this
after his return.

### Glory

Webs is shown defending Glory against the other guardians and is
hesitant towards killing Glory himself, though he does not object the
plan. Glory's voice was cold when speaking to Webs in the Kingdom of the
Sea, and she looked down her nose at him. However, he seemed full of joy
to see her alive.

### Riptide

defend his son by telling Coral that he had nothing to do with the

### Sunny

were reunited. She also clutched his talon and smiled at him. He seemed
overjoyed to see her alive. Sunny seemed to be the dragonet who cared
the most about Webs seeing a RainWing healer.

### Tsunami

Tsunami mentioned that while Webs should have protected them better from
the cruelty of Dune and Kestrel, his teaching was not entirely boring,
and that he had tried to bring back prey they liked while hunting. She
stated that growing up would have been worse without him, although she
complains about him often. He seemed overjoyed to see her alive. She
thought that she should hate him because of the life he had forced upon
her, but she found herself willing to save his life.

I remembered her egg. It was so blue — it had to be the right

We had three guardians. The other two, Dune and Kestrel, hated
everything. But Webs — he wasn't just trying to keep us alive. He taught
us everything he could, except Aquatic, I guess. He taught us history
and geography and all about the prophecy, and he wasn't even that boring
about it. When it was his turn to hunt, he tried to bring back prey he
knew we liked. It would have been worse without him. But he should have
protected us better. If he was the only one who cared, he should have
stopped Dune and Kestrel from hurting us and telling us we were
worthless. He should have fought for us, but he never did, except right
at the end when Scarlet and the SkyWings attacked.
