The Woods - San Fermin

This is admittedly a Very Self Indulgent one pfh!!

So remember those two Mudwings guards that got killed in the beginning of Book 3?? No ? Well I do and decided to develop an entire subset of Mudwing culture around their lines! The basic premise is the development of “monsters” during war-time, like the Monster in the Rainforest the two mudwing guards spoke of in the beginning of the book, and how these monsters and stories are actually reflections of War-Trauma from the Mudwing soldiers.

This song would fallow a pair of Mudwing siblings (unrelated to the canon guys) through the eyes of the Big Wings slowly watching their younger sibling become corrupted by the War, but the war trauma and violence is visually represented by their travels in the Rainforest. The “witches” in the woods are distorted silhouettes of Rainwings who symbolize the war. Its a pretty abstract concept but I really love thinking about the impact of war times on these dragons, especially the Mudwings who boarded the Rainforest.
