The Star-Crossers

Doomed lovers my beloved. I want to make their relationship a lot more messy in my rewrite. So I want to make the shitty and good qualities between them a lot more even. I have so much to say about them so, without further ado:

Info + Heights Below:

Prince Arctic

Queen Diamond's only son and the betrothed of Duchess Snowflake, his life has been determined since before he was laid. Of course, the animus abilities were a bit of a surprise, but the possibility had already been accounted for. Such is the life of a drake in the Everfrost Palace. Arctic was prepared to live an uninteresting life as a fixture in Snowflake's household... until he met Foeslayer.

Big, bold, and a bit vulgar, she caught his eye immediately. Like most Icewings, Arctic had never seen a Nightwing before. She was incredible. Like something out of a fairytale. A knight with shining scales. She had so many stories of her home, of places and creatures he'd never seen and never would see. Arctic fell fast and fell hard in the month she was there.

So hard in fact, that on the eve of his 20th hatchday, his wedding, and the night Foeslayer was to return home, he fled to her quarters and professed his love and intention to run away with her. Things escalated very quickly from there. There were dragons chasing them. Someone grabbed him. There was a scuffle but...well... Icewings, upper circle Icewings at least, don't feel the cold. But there was suddenly blue on his scales and he felt its chill. He'd never seen a body before.

They married that same year. Arctic did not expect to be so...alone. A prince has more allies than friends, but at least he was surrounded by dragons like him. He didn't understand the way Nightwings spoke, their differing formalities, their jokes, their gods, their stories, their food, their...anything really. Not to mention their spirit-forsaken sleeping schedule. Sleep deprivation has become a constant in his life, especially after the dragonets were born.

On top of that, Foeslayer was around less and less often as things escalated between the Nightwings and Icewings into full-scale war. Arctic was often left to care for the dragonets on his own while also having to navigate the Nightwing Court by himself, which was a different beast entirely than the Icewing Court. While Prudence is often there, she doesn't exactly have his best interests in mind. He has little authority in the decisions made surrounding his children.

He doesn't quite regret leaving his mother's Queendom, especially after she attempts to assassinate him, but he does wish he'd done things differently.

.

Foeslayer

So Foeslayer fell for the elegant little Icewing prince like some sap in a dragonet's romance scroll. Sue her. But, truth be told, Foeslayer had no real intention of marrying Prince Arctic when she first met him. It simply couldn't work. They could have a bit of fun, but she would have to return to her Queendom and he'd be married within Oracle's blink.

Safe to say that having the prince barge into her room the night before his wedding day wanting to elope with her then having to suddenly flee under threat of death for kidnapping a royal thus ruining months of careful negotiations was not exactly on her year's bingo card. It is unclear whether or not Foeslayer would've married Arctic were their situations different. As it were, she could not simply leave him to fend for himself in a foreign land. She loves him, truly, but it would be a lie to say the marriage wasn't at least partially out of obligation.

Yes, perhaps Arctic does have a point that she tends to ignore issues, especially those in the household, but she does not want to return from a bloody, death-ridden battlefield to problems at home as well. She doesn't exactly get to spend much time with her dragonets. And for Imperial's sake, he could stand to lighten up a little. He's not in the court 24/7, he doesn't need to act like it.

While Arctic generally isn't shy making it known when he has an issue with something, Foeslayer tends to keep it all in. She treats personal problems like they'll go away if you ignore them, but of course this only lets them build and fester. Spending days, weeks, or even months at a time on the battlefield does not help. She has... so many feelings about this whole situation, about Arctic, about this war, about her family, but she's unwilling to examine any of them. She's afraid of what she might find if she does.

That isn't to say their relationship is all bad, much of it isn't, but they do seem to be fighting more and more as the children grow.

.

Height Comparison:

Foeslayer is very big for a Nightwing. Upper Circle Icewings tend to be taller while Nightwings tend to be larger.

Male and female Nightwings are about the same size while male Icewings tend to be smaller than females.

Foeslayer and Arctic are about 2 years apart in age. Foeslayer is older.

Obviously, Foeslayer does not deserve the abuse. However, the main point of BOTH Foeslayer and Arctic was their tribe’s aggressive patriotism that fueled their hate towards either tribe, thus racism. Foeslayer has even done or said questionable things as a byproduct of being raised in her tribe that hates IceWings, ignoring Arctic missing the tundra which was his birthplace and natural environment since he is a cold dragon plus he had to adjust his sleep schedule and diet, and encouraged Arctic to use his powers for only her tribe saying her tribe was his home now ignoring the fact that every NightWing hated him and only wanted his magic not to mention Arctic wanted to run away from both tribes and not live in the opposite.

Arctic is also racist to NightWings. He in turn, denies the tribe’s traditions which includes how important naming the dragonets is for Foeslayer, and looks down on every NightWing and refuses to accept them as his tribe.

Again, not saying this excuses Arctic’s abuse to her. But saying that either side wasn’t racist is factually wrong as per the book and quotes from the book itself. Both Foeslayer and Arctic were doomed from the start because their tribes could not get along and were racist to each other. Both the NightWings and IceWings hated each other too much. It would have never worked. That’s the whole point of Darkstalker and Whiteout being raised in an unstable environment, with Darkstalker taking the bad and lashing back at it with more bad via genocide, while Whiteout took the bad and tried her best to break the cycle and find her own happiness with Thoughtful and their future dragonets.

TLDR both Foeslayer and Arctic are byproducts of racism and both are thus racist because they failed to break the cycle and instead contributed to it which made Darkstalker the way he is.

Whiteout was strong as hell. She deserves so much more

Closeups

What can be worse than making a photo of a traditional painting? The same thing but there are metallic details

[everestblue]

A suit of armor masquerading as formal wear, designed for parties and social events.

The bioluminescent cloth is made using firefly silk, a form of firesilk that can be safely worn without risk of burning. To give it its blue coloration, the firefly silk is dyed with pigment processed from Moon Globe flowers, changing the orange shine of the fabric into a vivid gradient of blues and purples, reminiscent to that of the moon globe.

A weave of deactivated blaze and firefly silk is used for the rest of the garment. Though having lost their glow, they still retain their fire retardant properties, serving as a decent guard against fire-breath. Gold silk is then woven over to stylize the cloth.

Meteoric iron is used to forge the helmet. The Ripples of blues and purples are the result of the traces amounts of sky fire added to the alloy, the purpose being to protect the wearer from prying mindreaders.

(I headcanon that the length of time firesilk can burn for depends on the type, with sun silk burning for only several hours or days, blaze silk for several months, firefly silk burning for several years, and goldsilk forever, because gold never erodes.)
