Well, I guess it's time again.
By which I mean a new ✨Chapter✨ is out! Come read, you want to see what happens next:

The moment I've been dreading the most, all this time. Physial exertion!
I really need to get better at fighting. Ow my everything.
@FlameJMA7889 Winter and Turtle are two of my major gripes with Arc 2.
Poor Winter got done dirty, and frozen out by both his friend group, the only support system he ever had, and banished from his own kingdom. With the exile, he wouldn't even get to attend his father's funeral. 🥀
@VelociRapi Starflight deserved so much better.
Tui even took that extra step of writing how they -almost- got an Animus spell together to fix his eyes, but somehow took so long that it failed just before they could finish it.
They were -so- close to fixing him up. But Tui said no.
@AzureBookwyrm This is unfortunately correct.
Now Arc 3 characters however, do end up mostly happy.
Which is why Arc 3 only has one male PoV to make sure it ends well. ✨
@RandyWyvern@AzureBookwyrm@ArkciaTheDragon To be -entirely- fair.
Deathbringer -did- end up in a very happy relationship.
Fathom is forced into exile, but (presumably) at least got a happy relationship and life with Indigo.
Six-claws and Darkstalker are on-point, but I would argue Darkstalker brought this on himself.
@AzureBookwyrm@ArkciaTheDragon At least Arc 2 Dragonets got a slightly more Balanced fate!
Moon: Saviour of Pyrrhia
Peril: Got paroned by Skywing Royalty
Winter: got estranged to and banished by his kingdom and family and friends.
Qibli: Got the girl
Turtle: Got a slight emotional closure.
So it's better!
@ArkciaTheDragon It's also important to note that Sunny's mother -also- became a queen, so all three of the female Dragonets of Destiny got to become princesses ✨
So ever so slight inequality in fates, coming out of their Arc.
Just a little. ✨
@MrDapperDragon@IzuOchaSpark I am seconding this reading order, in this exact reading order.
I read Legends: Darkstalker after book 8 specifically, and the context it provides is perfectly added at this point of the arc.
I think certain scenes in the latter half of the arc are better appreciated this way
@IzuOchaSpark Clay is now officially an injured war veteran.
At the tender age of 5.
Taking the concept of child soldiers to new heights!
And Sunny actually got to have a nice family relationship with her mother, which was really nice to see.
I am glad you liked the book!
@IzuOchaSpark It really makes you feel bad for Starflight.
Poor creature was burdened with so many expectations and lived his entire life feeling like he had just failed to develop these skills.
