A dragon clan within the universe of Destiny Intertwined. One of the main five clans, the Frostspear family is the leading Ice clan in Warfang, known for their overwhelming numbers of accomplished guards. As one of the leading clans, Frostspear has a seat on the Warfang Council and represents ice dragons. History ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Before achieving clan status, the Frostspear family were Guards by trade. The founder, Isbre, was the first to achieve the rank of Chief, which resulted in her family achieving clan status in 2601—although the family records date back to the 2200's. The clan took on the namesake of their spear-like tails, and their ice-manipulation technique of lethal ice spears, Frostspear. Isbre's eventual ascension to Chief of the Guard solidified Frostspear's path to overtake the leading ice clan—she assigned her family to important positions of the Guard, rapidly building her family's power and influence. As such, the Warfang Guard and Frostspear are considered two sides of the same coin. Frostspear replaced the previous leading ice clan in 2729. Clan Traits and Appearance ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ The Frost The most identifiable trait of a Frostspear is their color changing scales. As hatchlings, Frostspear dragons start out plain, often without markings. Their secondary colors are dark. As they reach their teens, their scales may lose saturation and will gain markings, and their secondary colors start to brighten. Some time after becoming Elders, their secondary colors have turned completely pale/white. This trait, called the Frost , is part of their namesake. This trait represents on about half of all Frostspear eggs in the form of pale gradients. The fully whitened appearance of a Frostspear is considered their true appearance .

While Frostspear dragons change colors, they always have at least one constant color , the color of their element. This color is present from hatching and through the rest of the dragon's life. It's notable that pre-frost Frostspears have very dark, sometimes black secondary colors , the latter of which is unusual even for impure ice dragons. While this is otherwise a sign of recent fire or electric impurity, Frostspear maintains this is not the case for them as these black colors always change. Usually, Frostspears start changing color at 6 years old and finish changing at 120 years old, the start of their elder years. However, this varies. Some Frostspear hatchlings start changing as early as 2 or as late as 15, and some Frostspear adults have fully whitened at 50, or as late as 150. While the Frost trait starts and spreads mainly from the tips of horns and spurs and the center of plates, there are devations. The trait can occur from the top-down (Isolda) or front to back, or vice versa. It can also occur diagonally. Certain variations are more present in certain family lines. Some Frostspears have a tertiary color bleed into their frost, though this stays at the tips (Isolda, Frossar, Isrun). For some Frostspears, the trait 'fails' . It may stop progressing, or be inverse; bright colors turning dark (Wintus). This is considered undesireable, and Frostspears with this 'error' will not have their children considered part of the clan, even those with the Frost trait on their eggs. The Frost trait is the deciding factor of whether or not an egg is accepted into the clan, but Frostspears have other traits. Spear Tail Another part of their namesake. Most Frostspears have a spear-like tail spade , either flat or 3-sided. These are flat edged and made of bony keratin, and can be sharpened for cutting and stabbing (when necessary, this wears down fast). Usually the spear tail is accompanied with an ice-spear technique, wherein the dragon manipulates a blade/spear of ice around their tail spade for deep slicing and stabbing. All Frostspears are encouraged to go beyond Controlled mastery, and the first manipulation they are expected to master is the ice spear tail. Horns Frostspears have horns that grow in a diamond shape with largely smooth sides. Some Frostspears have blade-like horns and spurs, wherein one side has a thinner, sharper, often different-colored end (Isrun, Skadin, Isolda, Frostir, Vitreus). A number of Frostspears, primarily in the leading family line, have a set of horns jutting out from the front of their head. It's considered a very desireable trait, but present only on a minority. It's a rare trait for dragons in general. Spurs & Frills Most Frostspears have spurs matching their horns. A part of their traits is a split double row of spurs down the spine. They'll often have these blade-like spurs on their limbs and wings. Frills are uncommon in Frostspears, usually appearing only in certain family lines. Eyes Two-toned eyes are present in most Frostspears. Their eyes' second tone is a soft glow around the pupil, and may be less noticeable in some dragons. Other iris colorations are possible but not considered a trait. Body Plates Body plates are unusual for ice dragons, but Frostspears often have them. They appear with age, starting from mid-teens to early twenties. Usually markings appear in these areas as the Frostspear gains color, until these grow thick enough to become proper plating. These usually take after the colors of the Frostspear's plates and are affected by the frost trait. Markings The most common elemental markings for Frostspears are ice swirls and ice glitter, but ice crystals/diamonds are second most common. Other While Frostspear demands the presence of the Frost to be accepted in the family, the presence of other traits are merely bonus. Not every Frostspear adheres to the other traits. Frostspears have forked tongues rather commonly, hinting at old electric impurities, but mostly have diamond and sharp tongues, as ice dragons originally did. Elements ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Frostspear prides itself on being a pure ice family. While they have evidence of impurities, as most dragons do, they claim to not have impurities so recent they might birth non-ice dragons. In the main family line, the line of Isrun, white ice is most prevalent, with blue ice second. Other family lines of the clan have purple, aqua, and deep blue ice. Their distribution is as follows; Blue (98) White (86) Aqua (59) Deep Blue (38) Purple (17) Trade ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Frostspears are notoriously Guards, often high-ranking ones, to the point of being considered to be the law enforcement of Warfang. Every single Frostspear is accepted into the Guard when their service duty comes, even if their evaluations don't at all warrant it. While most Frostspears remain in the Guard, some black sheeps choose other fields. The clan permits this (and sometimes begrudgingly permits service as a soldier instead of as a guard, albeit rarely) only so long as the occupation is deemed respectable, and the dragon isn't bringing shame to the clan name. Reproduction and Eggs ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Frostspear engages primarily in reproduction contracts, choosing partners from high-standing, pure ice clans. They will engage in union contracts to form alliances. Romantic unions are refused if the non-Frostspear does not meet the above criteria. From reproduction contracts, Frostspear takes all eggs with the Frost trait, this usually being half or more than half of a clutch, and yield the rest of the eggs.

The Downwards Spiral follow Lirife’s decay to what he became in 3016, a materially useless mass of self-hatred, sorrow and broken hopes. The story takes place at random moments in his life, as if recalling what made him fall so far. From the death of Bosek, his growing hatred of the unify that loved him, to his self destructive behavior, The Downwards Spiral offers an insight into Lirife’s anguish, sorrow and guilt, the guilt he has been able to expedite only in heavy drinking, and the reason as to why Velyzun, Atheael and the Faithful Infernum despise him as the Anathema, excommunicating himself from every single possible thing. In the end, Lirife has destroyed everything he had, and so much more, leaving him to rot and decay in the hell he’s created for himself. After one horrible nightmare that contextualises what he had done, he finally breaks, and attempts to take his own life. The only thing that saved him that day was the hidden, yet present love he still had for his daughter, Velyzun. Years later, even after Abandonment Of Faiths, Lirife, while still wasting away, has not tried such an act again. For he wants to love Velyzun, more than he wants to die.

Unfortunately, she is awoken to receive a letter, the contents revealing that Firra has been declared dead. She immediately breaks down, and cries much in the same way Lirife does a bit later. Knowing that she would not be able to survive the storm alone, she departs immediately for the Deep Seekers Estate to see Aquaria, which also had recently received the news. They wordlessly hold each other, easing each other's pain, if only a little.

Venture to the Dark Lands Venture to the Dark Lands Written by DragonOfIceAndFire Three adventurous children decide to fly to the Dark Lands and become pioneers, ignorant to the true dangers of their journey... and their destination.

Featured Characters Isa , Terra , Aeris , Obscurys , Caedis Location(s) Paradise Bay (Warfang Mainland) Mid-eastern Dark Lands Timeline 3016, Second Moon Word Count ~2,400 words Reading Time ~10.5 minutes Summary (Spoilers ahead!) Isa, an orphan and fresh teenager, convinces his friends Terra and Aeris to fly across the east sea to the Dark Lands. Isa and Aeris are orphans, and Terra's mother is sick, but can't afford a healer. Isa pushes Terra, who is reluctant, on this basis that exploring the Dark Lands will make them a rich clan. Isa assures them that his navigating skills will get them there safely, and Terra concedes. They set out. After some hours of flying with no land in sight in any direction, the teenagers become lost in a storm and thrown off course. After staying for hours longer in the air than planned, the three are ready to drop from the sky to their doom, but spot land last minute. Aeris, a wind dragon, uses her element in powerful fashion to blow them to safety. They immediately pass out on the rocky shore. When they wake up, they are surrounded... and by dark dragons at that. Isa tries to intimidate them but naturally fails. He is then approached by an elder Shadow dragon, Obscurys, who seems to be the leader. The other dark dragons confiscate the kids' bags and conclude they aren't spies, and they ask the kids if they are part of clans. Isa lies and claims they are from a powerful clan and thus untouchable, though when pressed, fails to give a clan name. Terra breaks down and admits they are just orphans with no worth to them, and they were stupid for coming there. A Fear dragon scoffs to the leader and says Warfang will never trade for the children, to which Obscurys concurs. Though begrudgingly, Obscurys commands that the children be taken home, and most of them leave. Only three dark dragons remain - a poison dragon named Caedis, the aforementioned Fear dragon, and another dragon of uncertain element. Because the children still lack the strength to fly all the way, they are carried on the backs of the three dark dragons. Isa remains awake, observing as they navigate with the stars and take advantage of wind currents to glide far. Once Paradise Bay is in sight, the kids are told to glide the rest of the way themselves, which they do, and the dark dragons turn back to return to the Dark Lands.
