No thoughts, pixel art dragon priest
A wings of fire (?) AU/ og story/??? Snippet. Verglas is an icewing. And newly queen at this point, though her troops don't now that. What more Context couldya want?
Several years ago
The sounds of battle beat against her ears like waves on the shore, metal scraping metal and scales and leather and fur.
The blunt spiked metal mass crashed through armor, scale, and bone alike.
That was the beauty of brute force weaponry, wasn't it? Swords, axes, arrows, and claws could be stopped by enough layers, but the iron and steel plates of the Nightwing's armor turned against them, shards piercing their sides as their protection crumples under the crushing weight of her mace.
Her vision blurs with pain as something slides between her scales near her shoulder blades- she hadn't been quite careful enough, swept up in the rush of combat.
Wings flared for balance, she turns, face to face with a deep green nightwing snarling from under their helmet, the force of her full body behind her swing. Her weapon connects cleanly into the jaw of her assailant, her own blue blood splattering outward in an arc, right alongside the nightwing's teeth. Her icy blue companion finishes the job with a sharp jab of her spear directly downward, splitting their sternum, and letting the fresh red life drain out of them.
And moments later, the battle field is quiet, the enemy having retreated, leaving their dead. Reaching up with purple stained talons, she tugs her own helmet from her brow, the stumps of her antlers exposed to the icy air, piercing yellow eyes followed the faint dark mass of nightwings fleeing between into the valley.
A useless endeavor, unfortunately for them. Nightwings were terribly obvious in the white landscape, and thus very easy to track.
She knew exactly who was waiting on the other side- they were as good as dead, once cornered between them.
Verglas replaces her helm, pulling her mace out from the snow and resting it on her shoulder.
"Forward! The fight does not end here- were you given serrated claws for nothing? Do not let your prey escape. Forward!"
Redesigned Andromeda and Gyrfalcon! Since i changed me lore, and ice dragons can't have black scales anymore
They are married, and have been for just over forty years (adjusted for dragon age headcannon shenanigans), and have six kids total.
Andromeda (left) is a nightwing Icewing hybrid and the only recorded Ex-queen from recent history, as normally such challenges end in death. She was the niece of the queen before her, Alpine.
Gyrfalcon is from a old alpine varient icewing family, the Arctics, though they are not particularly wealthy, they have a rather decent reputation given their efforts toward the recent nightwing/icewing war.
Bonus! Old designs:
An icewing rainwing hybrid, so sleek and shiny!
