"Tala and I have gotten through the toughest times together. She means everything to me, even if I may not say it out loud. It was hard growing up without a mother, but I am so fortunate to have my older sister there by my side throughout it all. She is my hero. I would truly be lost without her."
"My dear younger sister is a treasure to me. In the past, when I was younger and more foolish, I've said unsavoury things to her I wish I could go back and change. However, we've mended our relationship and now I love to spend time with her. She reminds me so much of our mother. I also see she's been getting quite close to Queen Eira in her time as her personal guard... Am I really an older sister if I don't tease her a little?"
“Who let a reindeer in the palace?”
"Excuse me? Who let a giant flamingo who walks on all fours with a large mouth into the palace?
“ I don’t mind her presence, I think she’s good company for my sister , but I can’t help but to feel like we may share a mutual disliking. Although, I trust that my sister will be safe with her, even with her little experience.”
"I do admire Princess Everest. She's quite talented with a blade. I may have have to spar with her someday, too."
“..she’s interesting to say the least. I had no clue of her existence up until not too long ago and we’re the same age, which means she was hidden away in the palace walls my , and her ,entire life. And I had no clue. Her appearance was quite the shock, but then again I did think I saw something, or someone ,with the scales as beautiful as the moon appear one night in one of the countless palace halls as I went on a stroll. I figured that I was simply seeing things, or that it must’ve been an unknown servant. I hope I’m not scaring the poor sweetheart, she looks like she went through a lot. Sometimes I catch myself staring a bit too long, admiring her scales which I’d wish were my own. Overall, I am intrigued , and I want to find out who she really is, and why she’s making me feel such strong, foreign, mysterious feelings.”
"Everest has been so kind to me. The whole royal family has, in fact. It's so strange.. I never knew dragons to be so... So different to how I imagined them to be. How I knew them to be.. I must admit, I am weary of Everest and her family. As they are of me. I can't imagine the shock of it all. I feel bad for burdening them with my existence. I'm afraid that if I let myself get to close to Everest then I may just end up getting hurt, no matter how badly I want to be around her. I don't understand these things I'm feeling. They're so different to what I've always known. I want to spread my wings and fly but I'm not sure I can."
“I knew Mother could be cruel, but… Not like THIS. Ophelia… Is like a walking ghost. She seems to hesitate around me instead of hiding like she does around my sisters… I feel almost like I owe her some kindness. I can… try, I suppose…”
"I won't pretend I don't see the glances my sister shares with her personal guard... Though I won't bring it up. North is kind, and when Eira is busy she sometimes offers to take me out to spar, which... I really appreciate. Don't tell her I said that."
"Prince Tern is a kind dragon. A softer soul than his sisters. I believe he can do great things in life, for this kingdom and for his Queen."
“Oh! I must admit that I do admire you and how long of a path you’ve walked to get to where you are now, I still remember how you were just a wee dragonet running down the palace halls! From princess ,to now Queen Onyx of the sandwings. Impressive! But I also mustn’t lie on the fact that I don’t miss your mother , because I do, a tiny bit..or maybe a bit more than that. I know we haven’t seen eachother in what felt like centuries! But I hope that there are no ill feelings between us..hah..right??”
“But you got succeeded by a child instead.”
“ I do not wish to speak of her name, as now she is just the whisper of the past. I don’t know if I even considered her my mother to begin with. She was simply a stranger In my house that I had to deal with.”
"I knew you would never succeed me--..............................."
"She's my- WAS my queen. She wanted me for heirs, making me nothing more than a tool. I am a tool, a weapon of war. There is no point in individuality when one's purpose is to obey orders on a tight leash. At least, it feels like there isn't one."
"Sweet sweet Nor'Easter. Always so eager to run. Don't be afraid, dearest, the winter consumes us all at some point--...................................."
"...... I'm glad you're gone..."
"Move, whelpling--................................"
"Mother."
"Oh, my dear little Eira. What a fool you are to attempt to challenge me--..........."
"Little Mudwing Queen, peace is a weakling's option. These leaf-lovers will regret the day they stepped foot into my rainforest. If, on the rare chance they do succeed at conquering my kingdom, I do hope they aren't so bloodthirsty that they come for yours, too... For you have no support, do you, little Queen? A Queen with no allies is surely a lost cause."
"There must be a way through this without violelence... You have more than enough land to share a little with the Leafwings, and if it had been peaceful negotiation, even I would have offered to spare some upon our southern borders. I do not, however, blame you for defending your rightful land, I just wish it could've been peacefully discussed…”
"I've heard many great things about you, Queen Ceres. I do hope one day you may come to your senses. Let us hope your dreams are not plagued with false moons."
"No matter what you say or do, I will not endanger my dragons over a superstition. We may be similar ages, but it seems one of us is much more mature."
"Though I do not know you personally, Queen Ceres, I do hope that you may see the truth in our cause and join me."
"Though I understand you were trying to defend yourself, I do not find you entirely blameless in this war, Queen Tranquility. I have heard rumours of your secrets, and though I dismiss them as superstition, the history intertwining the Icewings and Nightwings runs deep with fear. Do not expect my help any time soon."
