SeaWings are one of the seven tribes living in Pyrrhia. The home of the SeaWings is the Kingdom of the Sea, where the Deep Palace is located. They also used to have another palace above ground, named the Summer Palace, before it was destroyed. SeaWings have the ability to breathe underwater, see in the dark, and create huge waves with their tails. They are also excellent swimmers.[1] Their current queen is Queen Coral, whose current heirs are Tsunami, Anemone and Auklet. The SeaWing royal family carries the trait which allows them the potential for animus magic.
Appearance
SeaWings can have any range of blue, green, gray, or aquamarine scales and features (rarely they may be light pinks[2], and even purples.) Their eyes may appear green, blue, gray, or purple.
SeaWings are covered with bioluminescent stripes on their tails, snout, arms, legs, sides, and underbellies.[1] Royal SeaWings have luminescent stripes under their wings that form into spirals around the outer edges and large starbursts that branch out from the lines in the middle.[3] Non-royal SeaWings typically only have smaller starbursts on their wings and lack any spirals. It is believed that each luminescent scale is different.
They are said to be short, and have small compact bodies, with short stubby legs. They have twisted back horns that are also short for a dragon. Their claws are described to be as sharp as fish hooks.
They have a webbing of spines running down their back and the front of their chest. Below their chin they have something that resembles a chicken's wattle.
Abilities
SeaWings have webs between their claws to help them swim faster. They have gills on their necks to breathe underwater,[1] and also possess the ability to breath above water. Their thick tails are used to propel themselves through tough currents and fast rapids.
The bioluminescent stripes on every SeaWing serves as the basis for the language Aquatic. It is used to communicate below water, and to attract possible SeaWing partners.[4]
Culture
Talons of Power
When SeaWings have turned two years old, they are tested if they have animus magic. This ceremony is called Talons of Power, and takes place next to the ruins of the old Island Palace. Both Anemone and Fathom's powers where discovered during the Talons of Power ceremony.
History
2000 years before The Dragonet Prophecy
Their queen at the time was Queen Lagoon. During Queen Lagoon's reign, the Seawing had two animus dragons: the queen's brother, Albatross, and prince Fathom. During a party at the Island Palace, Albatross went mad and killed several SeaWings and a SkyWing visitor. It is believed that Albatross went mad because his use of his animus magic teared away at his soul. Albatross had killed Queen Lagoon, her husband Humpback, their daughter Splash, Fathom’s parents (Reef and Manta), as well as Scallop, Eel, a musician, and Princess Sunset of the SkyWings. The only one able to take the throne was Princess Pearl at five years of age.
Pearl sent away Fathom to the Night Kingdom where the NightWings lived. She sent him away both because of her, and the tribes fear of his animus powers, and also to teach the new found animus, Darkstalker, of the dangers of animus magic. Indigo, Fathom’s childhood best friend (and partial lover), asked Queen Pearl if she could also come to guard Prince Fathom. Pearl had no choice but to allow her. She also sent two other guards with them (being Lionfish and Wharf).
Fathom befriended Clearsight and Darkstalker, to the point where Fathom often forget for hours at a time what he had been through. Tragically, Fathom had to betray Darkstalker to save the future of all of Pyrrhia.
Fathom hid Darkstalker’s Scroll in the Rainforest, and disappeared with Indigo once Darkstalker was put to sleep under a mountain.
Since current day SeaWings have animus magic, at one point Fathom’s descendants joined back within the royal line, so royal SeaWings are all descendants of Fathom and Indigo, instead of Pearl.
