“And when the sun is no longer the brightest thing in the sky, the world will remember that which it forgot.” — The Old Prophecy of the Sun.

The Forgotten Tribe: SunWings

After the resolution of the conflict in Pantala (the end of Arc 3), Ruby, Thorn, and Glory convince Snowfall, Moorhen, and Coral to establish a bridge between Pyrrhia and Pantala with the assistance of Queen Sequoia and Queen Jewel (the new HiveWing Queen in this AU). They take inspiration from the HiveWing hives, planning to construct resting stations on the islands scattered between the two continents. After months of construction, only one final island remains to be developed into another resting point.

However, there is a problem: it is a volcanic island, and the constant smoke emitted by its volcano indicates that it is highly active.

Recognizing that establishing a station there would be disastrous, groups of SeaWings explore the surrounding ocean in search of another suitable island. And they succeed.

They discover a perfect island...

But it is already inhabited by a species never seen before.

The SunWings

Their bodies are long and strong, about the same size as a MudWing. Their scales range in color from bright golden yellow on the main body, blending into a warm orange and ending with reddish tips, giving them an appearance similar to glowing embers. Under sunlight, their scales reflect a soft glow, as if they hold a small amount of warmth within them.

Their heads are narrow, with curved horns sweeping backward, colored in a dark crimson shade. Their eyes are amber and stand out with a steady brightness. Along their throats and down to their tails runs a line of thicker, shinier plates that appear tougher than the rest of their scales.

Their wings are wide and thin, with a gradient that fades from gold near the base to red at the edges. Their tails end in a split point shaped like a flame, and even when they are not breathing fire, there is always a faint warmth in the air around them.

Their fur and scales are completely fireproof.

The history of the SunWings dates back to a time before Pantala had ever been discovered, during an ancient era of Pyrrhia when primordial tribes still roamed the skies.

The SunWings were one of these ancient tribes.

They were relentlessly hunted by humans before the Scorching and by dragons afterward, sought after for their fireproof scales and fur. Their population eventually declined to dangerously low numbers.

Around eighty SunWings—nearly twenty percent of their remaining population—set sail across the ocean, hoping to find unknown lands where they could live in peace. They succeeded, eventually arriving at the island they would never leave.

The rest of the SunWings who remained on the continent went extinct shortly afterward, and history eventually forgot they had ever existed.

On the island, the SunWing population remained between eighty and two hundred individuals for the next four thousand years. Over time, however, their numbers dwindled even further, and today, only six SunWings remain alive.

This family of six lives in a primitive manner, surviving as best they can with the few resources available to them, just as their ancestors did for generations.

This possible future opens the door to several interesting scenarios:

- Conflicts between the SunWings and a world that has already forgotten them.

- Dragons from every tribe believing them to be dangerous—or alternatively, viewing them as highly valuable creatures worth hunting.

- The queens being forced to complete the bridge while dealing with territorial disputes, deciding where the SunWings can live, or determining what should be done with them.

- The discovery of an ancient tribe that should have been extinct for thousands of years.

- And much more.

It was about time I stopped making bots based on something already made. Well, technically, this is still based on other things, but this one is a little different.

Based on the universe of Wings of Fire (in case you couldn't tell, I really like it), I started thinking about how this story could continue, and eventually came up with the idea of naturally incorporating the Auric Dragons from the Calamity Mod into the setting.

If you've played Terraria: Calamity Mod, you'll probably recognize Yharon, the Jungle Dragon.

In this AU, the SunWings are a race inspired by Yharon and the Auric Dragons. However, they have been massively nerfed to fit the power scale and maintain balance within the Wings of Fire universe.

Inside the chatbot, you can choose whether to play as one of the six remaining SunWings or simply be another dragon who encounters them or it's involved in the bridge project

The choice is yours!
