lizardcake Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Darkstalker formally meets Fathom at the SeaWing welcoming party the NightWings had thrown. Darkstalker thinks that Fathom looks uncomfortable at the party and possibly terrified since the Royal SeaWing Massacre had happened at a party as well. So, Darkstalker tries to make him more comfortable by inviting him and his guard, Indigo, to go on a flight with him. However, Indigo is suspicious of Darkstalker and shows this when she attempts to kill him once they are outside. Although Fathom convinced Indigo not to kill him, Darkstalker wants to get revenge on Indigo from then on and makes plans to get rid of Indigo for personal reasons and that he thinks that Fathom would be better off without her.

lizardcake Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 After the party, Darkstalker thought about how Indigo could have killed him right then and there. He did not want anyone ever to murder him or even accidentally kill him, so he decided to enchant his scales to be invincible, hiding the enchantment from Clearsight by writing it in invisible ink.

lizardcake Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Soon, Darkstalker went with Clearsight for her to meet Fathom. Darkstalker showed Fathom a new item he enchanted, a soul reader that proves how much soul a dragon has left. Clearsight, Fathom, and Darkstalker started to become better friends. After some time, Darkstalker suggested that they all celebrate Clearsight's fifth hatching day in the woods by the Night Kingdom. There, Darkstalker presented the dreamvisitors to his friends, much to Fathom's dismay. However, his protests about Darkstalker using his magic were cut off as Clearsight has a vision about Darkstalker's mother, Foeslayer, being enchanted by Queen Diamond and sent to the Ice Kingdom.

lizardcake Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Darkstalker received the same vision and, anxious at this, decided to interrupt the party to go and try to save Foeslayer. When he got home, Darkstalker read in his father's, Prince Arctic's, mind that Arctic and Foeslayer fought. After this fight, she took off an earring that Arctic had enchanted to protect her, which allowed Queen Diamond's magic to get through to her. Darkstalker tried every enchantment he could think of, but nothing works. Later, when Queen Vigilance is with Clearsight, Vigilance sent an assassin after Darkstalker.

lizardcake Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 When Darkstalker arrived, he shared some of his ideas for what they could do to the IceWings with his magic. Most of them were brutal, and Clearsight was horrified by all of his ideas that lead to the IceWings' genocide. Eventually, Darkstalker settles on the idea of a shield that killed only IceWings.

lizardcake Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Darkstalker continued to mourn the loss of his mother for a few weeks. Eventually, Darkstalker asked Fathom if he wanted to fly up to the Royal Tower and watch the lightning storm with him. Fathom gave Darkstalker a statue of a SeaWing that he had requested, which he took and offered Fathom a goblet made of shimmering sea-green glass. Indigo smashed it before Fathom could take it, fearing that it is enchanted. Still fearing Indigo's safety with Darkstalker around, Fathom decided that Wharf should come with him instead of Indigo.

lizardcake Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Later on, Clearsight and Listener went to a festival being held in the Great Diamond. Clearsight and Listener met up with Darkstalker, Fathom, and Whiteout, who were all playing a board game. They invited Thoughtful, who was playing alone, to join them. Before Listener could introduce herself to Thoughtful, Clearsight introduced Whiteout first, who took Thoughtful's talon and looked at his palm before saying, "Words and glass, spun in flutes and verse. Waterfalls of language in fire-blown claws," and then told him that he was the one who made the Cascade of Dreams. Thoughtful was surprised and amazed that she had noticed his art and said, "No one — you really saw the pieces of the scroll inside the waves?" Whiteout then confirmed this, and due to the strange grammar Whiteout was using and Thoughtful's ability to understand it, the whole conversation left Listener bewildered. However, before anyone could explain what happened to her, a spear was thrust into Darkstalker's heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizardcake Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Thanks to his invincible scales, he survived the attack, although he told his friends that the assassin must have missed. Lionfish tackled the assassin, killing him quickly. The assassin turned out to be Quickdeath, an assassin for hire. Darkstalker wanted to find out who tried to assassinate him, and Fathom became suspicious of Darkstalker. Later on, Darkstalker went home and used his scroll to find out who tried to assassinate him. He found out and deemed that whoever did it "has to pay." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizardcake Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Clearsight then encountered Queen Vigilance and Allknowing in the garden. Allknowing shared her vision, Hatched of ice and hatched of night. Cursed with moons all shining bright. Longs for power not his own. Comes to steal your very throne. Clearsight took off her earrings after the Queen accused her of being enchanted by Darkstalker. Visions, all of which were dark and bad, came rushing back to her, and she realized that Vigilance sent the assassin. The guards attempt to imprison Clearsight, but she escaped to stop Darkstalker before he reached the queen. When she found him, Darkstalker revealed that he enchanted her earrings to keep her focused on the bright, positive futures and block out any dark ones.

lizardcake Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Clearsight then had a vision that depicted Arctic taking Whiteout north to the Ice Kingdom. To track them down, Darkstalker enchanted a beetle to bite off Arctic's shielding earring, and then enchanted a dagger to lead them to Arctic and stab him in one of his legs to render him immobile. Darkstalker started to write something down in his scroll as Arctic explained that if he offered Whiteout's talons in marriage, Diamond would release Foeslayer. Whiteout claimed that she would be an "IceWing princess and have lots of baby IceWings." Whiteout then said that she wanted to go back to the Ice Kingdom before proclaiming that she did not like Darkstalker in perfectly normal, understandable, and coherent sentences, instead of her usual way of talking.

lizardcake Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Darkstalker, deeply suspicious and furious at his lying father, enchanted his father to obey his every command. He ordered him to stop talking and to release Whiteout from the spell he put her under. Arctic then crushed Whiteout's shell necklace in his talons, freeing her from his magic. Darkstalker ordered Arctic to follow him back to the Night Kingdom, where he made his father cut his tongue out after announcing how he had tried to betray the NightWings and was going to offer a detailed map of the kingdom so the IceWings could infiltrate it. Then, Darkstalker told Arctic to "take his talons, rip open your stomach, and show us all what you're really like on the inside. Pour out your life on this stage." Arctic killed himself with his own claws, fulfilling Clearsight's prophecy that "your claws will betray you in your final hour." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizardcake Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 While Darkstalker was distracted with Arctic, Clearsight stole his scroll. On her way to see Fathom, Clearsight warned Listener about Darkstalker and told her to escape far away with her family far away from the Night Kingdom. Then, she had Fathom enchant a bracelet for her, as they were too suspicious of the scroll to use it. When Clearsight left for Agate Mountain to meet Darkstalker one last time, Fathom took the scroll and held it over a candle. Fathom discovered spells written in invisible ink, one of which trapped Indigo in the wooden SeaWing statue Fathom had made. Fathom released Indigo from the statue with his magic.

lizardcake Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Meanwhile, Darkstalker sat next to Clearsight in front of a cave on the side of Agate Mountain. Clearsight told Darkstalker that an earthquake would make the whole side of Agate Mountain collapse and make Jade Mountain the tallest mountain instead. Clearsight mentioned that Darkstalker had gotten out of control and was turning out like Arctic. Furious, Darkstalker grabbed and twisted Clearsight's wrist painfully, and while he is doing so, she slipped the bracelet onto his arm. Before Darkstalker fell asleep, he saw how much Clearsight truly loved him and how much she worried about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizardcake Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 A simple sleeping spell on the bracelet had taken the invincible, immortal Darkstalker down, and as long as the bracelet remained on him, he would stay asleep. Clearsight moved him into the cave before covering the entrance with rocks before going to another mountain and waiting for an earthquake she predicted to bury him further. She then flew away from the mountain, heading towards Pantala, never to be seen again by the dragons of Pyrrhia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizardcake Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 The book draws to a close as Fathom and Indigo were portrayed with their dragonets, Clearpool, Cowrie, and Ripple. Their dragonets at one point asked them to tell them a story about how bad guys became bad guys. This reminded Fathom and Indigo of Darkstalker. Indigo reassured Fathom that "it's safe to be happy," and he responded with, "I know." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizardcake Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Then, in the post-epilogue, the timeline skips 2,000 years; it describes another earthquake coming after the Orb in the Sky flashed by. The rocks shifted up against the bracelet, breaking the copper wires and awakening Darkstalker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizardcake Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Darkstalker acted as a mentor to Anemone,[88] and she looked up to him as being wonderful and all-knowing.[89] He encouraged her to use her magic but tried restricting her only to use them with his permission. Due to her naturally rebellious personality and hatred of Moonwatcher, he eventually sent her off to the Kingdom of the Sea.[90] Later on, once she and the other animus dragons of Pyrrhia were summoned to Darkstalker, he affirmed his view of her as a tool by suggesting he run tests on her and Stonemover to learn more about animus limits, even suggesting driving her insane.[91] Darkstalker secretly hated SeaWings, specifically Anemone's family, because of their ancestry linking them to Fathom.[92] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizardcake Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Arctic resented Darkstalker.[93] He often rudely asked his son if any part of him resembled an IceWing,[6] and was furious upon Darkstalker's hatching that the dragonet did not resemble him.[94] Arctic never looked Darkstalker in the eye, and often glared at him.[95] Darkstalker believed that Arctic was the most dangerous dragon within the lost city of night,[96] and when Clearsight observed Arctic and Darkstalker interacting, she noted that there were many giant, furious, unspoken thoughts and feelings that were not verbally expressed between them.[27] Darkstalker was dangerous, quiet,[97] angry, and crueler than necessary towards his father,[40] and the only slight liking he had towards Arctic was due to his love for Hope.[98] He was suspicious of[99] and bothered by Darkstalker's mind-reading abilities, and was jealous of his son's knowledge of Hope's thoughts.[100] They often tried to avoid one another as much as possible,[101] and Darkstalker was aware of multiple futures where Arctic attempted to kill him.[102] Despite his seething hatred towards Darkstalker,[103] Arctic refused to kill his own son.[104] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizardcake Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Clearsight was Darkstalker's soulmate. Darkstalker loved her[105] without reserve or hesitation, mostly reciprocated. He was enthusiastic about their relationship and tried his best to make her feel happy and safe.[106] He disliked that she worried over their futures so much, but loved her wholly.[107] However, the tragedy of Hope's presumed death shattered him, and he became indifferent towards her free will and happiness, although later apologizing to her imagined presence.[108] He tried to keep her focused on the happy futures where they had dragonets, but ultimately manipulated Clearsight's ability against her will, even seeming defiant and indifferent when confronted.[24] Although Darkstalker lied to himself about this attempted manipulation of Clearsight being the best thing for her, it was really about keeping her from knowing about his schemes.[24] Their relationship ultimately failed due to Darkstalker's actions, and Clearsight is not to blame.[event 1] Clearsight loved Darkstalker very much, and tried her best to keep their futures bright,[109] but eventually had no choice but to betray her beloved by trapping him in a cave within Agate Mountain with a bracelet enchanted by Fathom.[110] She mourned him — and their possible future dragonets — for a long time after he was trapped, and never moved on, even after reolocating to Pantala.[111] After awakening from his sleeping spell, he became so desperate to have her back that he attempted to enchant Fierceteeth into a living version of Clearsight.[107] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizardcake Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 When Indigo initially attacked Darkstalker, Fathom protested, stating that Darkstalker did not seem dangerous, and admitting wistfully that he could be a friend.[112] Darkstalker wanted Fathom to trust him,[41] but internally was willing to enchant both Fathom's mind and his relationship with Indigo.[113] He genuinely wanted Fathom to be happy, but ultimately controlled several important aspects Fathom's life without his knowledge or consent. He desperately wanted to safely like Darkstalker,[114] as well as badly wanting to trust him.[115] After Darkstalker laughed at Fathom's joke, he was delighted,[116] and Darkstalker spoke gently towards him.[117] Fathom was one of his best friends,[118] and he found himself so wrapped in warmth and attention around Darkstalker that he could forget, for hours at a time, about what he had been through during the massacre.[119] Darkstalker was attentive to Fathom's feelings,[25] and he made Fathom feel comforted.[120] He would have followed Darkstalker anywhere,[121] and Darkstalker was often irritated by Fathom's caution towards animus magic.[23] Darkstalker eventually was completely willing to transform Fathom's mind into a quieter, less anxious state with animus magic so that he would not have to listen to his worried thoughts. He also cared for Fathom's happiness,[50] and Fathom later discovered that Darkstalker had enchanted a bell that would ring whenever Fathom was feeling sad or lonely, and that was why he had always known when to show up and lift him from the worst loneliness. Darkstalker did truly care for Fathom,[38] but as Fathom grew more concerned for his friend's morality,[50] he was eventually forced to betray his friend.[67] When Darkstalker awoke from Fathom's enchantment, his hatred of his former friend was so strong that he despised all of Fathom's descendants.[92] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizardcake Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Hope is Darkstalker's mother. Darkstalker loved his mother and wanted to protect her in every way possible.[122] Darkstalker was willing to do anything to see his mother again after awakening from his enchantment,[123] and he appeared desperately hopeful at the prospect of seeing her.[124] He had an immense care for her and often enchanted everyday items to bring her more comfort in her life.[38] Hope was one of the only dragons that he truly loved, according to Clearsight, along with Clearsight herself and Whiteout. When the IceWings took her, Darkstalker offered to kill every IceWing for revenge.[55] He sobbed when they were reunited.[14] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizardcake Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Darkstalker saw Indigo as a threat to him and Fathom's friendship,[113] so he turned her into a small wooden dragon so she would not turn Fathom against him.[125] However, she was later freed by Fathom, who turned against Darkstalker due to what he had done.

lizardcake Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 The first dragon Darkstalker had talked to since his imprisonment was Moonwatcher; he seemed to be very fond of her, caring for her and not wanting anyone to harm her. During the time, she was the only dragon he could talk to, and he mentored her. He took a rather friendly approach, and it seemed that he enjoyed teaching her how to deal with her powers effectively without any problem. However, it is later revealed that he may have been manipulating her for his own benefit.[127] In Talons of Power, he really cared about Moon and keeps mentioning how she is similar to Clearsight.[128] He wanted her to trust him, and she was noted to be one of the very few dragons he truly cared about, not putting any spells on her and trying to convince her to understand him. Moonwatcher was Darkstalker's best friend when he emerged from Agate Mountain.[129] Darkstalker refused to enchant Moonwatcher's mind as he did for most of Pyrrhia, and she believed that he was not evil. She genuinely liked him, largely due to the fact that he genuinely likes her, and he was one of the only dragons he trusted to believe in him and enjoy his company of their own accord.[74] They were genuine friends,[130] and Darkstalker considered a party boring because Moonwatcher did not attend.[131] She believed that he was good, and that he wanted the most peaceful future for Pyrrhia,[132] and she believed wholeheartedly that he would never kill her.[133] He appeared genuinely wounded when she began using skyfire and protection spells against his magic.[134] She flinches whenever she hears his name.[135] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
