Wings of Fire Book 8 Escaping Peril


Lichen (lichentherainwing) I have a question


Lichen (lichentherainwing) In the legend book Darkstalker he can use his scroll however he wants, he can literally say make me have control over Arctic the Icewing

BUT in book 7 and 8 Peril's father Chameleon is only able to enchant jewelry with it, why is that?

Liv  Loves Books | 243 comments Maybe Darkstalker limited it for him, so he doesn't have so much power. I'm not sure lol


Lichen (lichentherainwing) yea it is quite confusing


Queen Shore the SeaWing (Check my bio if u r 1 of my friends.) (queen_shore_the_seawing) | 20 comments Maybe Chameleon could use it however he wanted as well, but he only wanted to use it to enchant jewelry.

Liv  Loves Books | 243 comments I honestly have no idea it is pretty confusing

I'm pretty sure Peril asks him about that and he just says he hadn't thought of doing anything else (like make jewelry for himself rather than working for scarlet. And because he doesn't want scarlet to figure out he can do anything else with the scroll.

Rosebud The Silkwing-Rainwing Hybrid (rosebudoc) | 281 comments Guys, did you know Tui was gonna kill off Peril, but decided not to since she was a fan favorite?

When I told my brother this, he asked "How would she have killed Peril? What would she put into the books as her death?"

And here's what he means: She's immune to frostbreath, probably dragonbite vipers, fire, among many other things. So what could possibly have killed her?

No, no, I mean before this, like maybe early in the first arc. I also saw that there were originally going to be 8 DoDs, the other three being Peril, Sky (originally named Ember), and an unnamed Icewing. But she decided not to because 8 was too much.

1. A rainwing wouldn't have the guts to do that.

2. Peril doesn't really trust anyone enough to accept food from strangers.

3. I believe Peril and Turtle had a discussion about this. If I remember correctly, she said you'd have to throw a spear VERY FAST for it not to burn up, and swordfighting would be dumb, because all it would take was a touch to melt the sword.

1. If frostbreath doesn't work, how would rainwing venom? If you're thinking Glory, she's not a killler, especially since Clay likes Peril, and Peril helped them rescue Sunny. Glory would have no reason to kill her.

2. Scarlet has poisoned her before, but not enough to kill her. But even so, by the end of The Dragonet Prophecy, she was in no condition to do so. And Peril was really the only one who could free her from Burn's Stronghold, so why would she waste that?


Rosebud The Silkwing-Rainwing Hybrid (rosebudoc) | 281 comments And with animus magic, Stonemover was turning to stone, Turtle was too afraid of his magic, and Blister had other purposes for Anemone, not to mention the Seawings probably didn't know she existed, since none of the ones in the arena survived long enough to tell them. And (view spoiler)

Here is how she could have died (and was close to dying by two of the three means too..)
1. Explosions
2. Drowning
3. Falling (somehow unable to use her wings from some reason.)

1. She survived a dragonflame cactus bomb.
2. She hates water, and if no one could force her underwater, how could she drown.
3. There's a very low chance of that.

1. That could have been luck
2. She almost did in 'Escaping Peril'
3. Oki, you got me there, but she could be fighting someone in the air, somehow got knocked out, and plummet.

1 well she is important
2 she could just evaporate the water so she cant drown
3 what if she is paralized

If it is a big enough bunch of water, then she could drown since she would be like a hot stone in water: not be able to evaporate enough water..

Well... you do have a point but she could just swim up

For #3: Not if no one could touch her, she couldn't get into that kind of fight if she could kill anyone who touched her.


Rosebud The Silkwing-Rainwing Hybrid (rosebudoc) | 281 comments Also the seeds exploded on her, so she was literally at the center of the explosion.


denki (aka James)  (foxboi) | 470 comments " well part of what saved her from the blast was she could melt them and take the heat of the blast also she could get knocked out like turtle said if someone threw something heavy and fast enough it could knock her out and when she crashed into winter she couldnt breathe for a moment

Also...
Unless her body temperature is also too high for most pathogens (which couldn’t be possible or some of her helpful microbes would die too) She could technically get some pathogen and die from the illness...


denki (aka James)  (foxboi) | 470 comments wait if peirl is so hot to burn metal wouldnt she burn through the earth


The Gr33nB34n (Tits.) (willyouowomyuwu) | 395 comments earth, such as dirt, is not technically burnable.


denki (aka James)  (foxboi) | 470 comments " well yes but that much weight on intense heat it could happen


The Gr33nB34n (Tits.) (willyouowomyuwu) | 395 comments yes and no, peril isn't hot enough to burn dirt, and dirt is no malleable or alive so technically it wouldn't burn, it's like stone, and stone doesn't burn.


denki (aka James)  (foxboi) | 470 comments " yep we both big smart"

No, her body wouldn't kill the her helpful microbes (on her snout, mouth, etc.) because they're a part of her so they were designed to stand the heat of her scales. And yes, bacteria hates intense heat, so she probably kills off the bacteria before it can harm her.

Also, if it is only her scales that can burn, if she got a cut from tungsten (melting point of about 3000 deg. C ) And if she got cut by that, the wound could theoretically become infected and she could die that way (Why am I thinking about the most goriest methods of death?)

Rosebud The Silkwing-Rainwing Hybrid (rosebudoc) | 281 comments This is undefeatedly the best part of the entire book:



A hush fell over the wingery — very slowly, as several dragonets were too busy playing to notice either the growing quiet or the giant dragon glowering from above. But Queen Scarlet waited, smoke hissing from her snout and ears.

As they noticed her, many of the dragonets let out squeals of fear. A few of them near the floor dove under whatever they could reach, hiding their faces behind shields or rugs or goat-spattered saucepots, although their trembling tails were still stuck out in the open.


A few of the others began to whisper …

“Is that the dragon in the picture?”

“That’s not the old missing queen, is it?”

“What wrong with her face?”

“She don’t look like her picture.”

“How’d she get all meltedish?”

“That’s really gross. Gross like Cardinal drooling when he sleeps.”

“Shut up!”

“Way grosser than that.”

“I wish my face was all melty and scary!”

“Ew, you do not, we would so never play with you if it was.”

“But you’d be scared of me and then I could creep up on anyone in the dark and give them nightmares forever! It would be awesome!”

“Yuck. I bet she can’t even lo
ok in mirrors anymore.”

“My mom said she used to be wicked scary.”

“And kind of mean, not like Queen Ruby.”

“She look kind of meanish now, I thinking.”

“Should we be more scared?”

Gradually the whispers, too, fell silent under Queen Scarlet’s withering glare.

“Hello, dragonets,” she finally hissed. “I am your queen — Queen Scarlet of the SkyWings. I have returned to take my throne, but I need something from you. Someone, actually.”

“Excuse me,” a little voice piped up. “I thinking maybe you in the wrong palace maybe? We already has a queen. Queen Ruby, she super-nice.”

“Ruby is not your queen,” Scarlet snarled. “She is an imposter! I am your queen!”


“What’s a nimposser?” asked another voice.

“It’s furry and sleeps upside down and has a really chewy tail,” said another. “Melty-Face, ma’am, you’s wrong, Ruby’s not furry at all. An’ I bet her tail’s not chewy either but I hasn’t checked.”

“She’s a very nice queen,” offered yet another dragonet, “and she visits all the time and knows all our names and says sorry when she bumps into someone and brings us snacks and we like her lots.”

“Maybe you could be queen of someone else?” a small orange dragonet suggested. “ ’Cause we already gots a good one but I hears that there’s some NightWings maybe lookin’ for a new queen? And maybe because they spooky, too, maybe they like your spooky face?”

“Oo, yes,” a few others agreed. “She’d be super-good spooky! They could change their name to SpookyWings or NightmareFaces!”

“STOP TALKING THIS INSTANT,” Queen Scarlet bellowed. Peril was finding it close to impossible to keep a straight face. She wished there had been a chorus of impertinent dragonets around for every conversation she’d ever had with the queen. Perched on the windowsill, Chameleon wasn’t even trying to hide how his shoulders were shaking with laughter.

“Sheesh,” one of the little voices muttered as they subsided. “Jus’ makin’ some helpful suggestibles, no need to be crankmonstery.”

No, it's because he didn't think to, not because he couldn't. Chameleon says so in the book
