Wings Of Fire is a book series written by Tui T. Sutherland. The series is about a war among the dragon tribes. The SandWing queen has died by scavengers, so the three sisters ally with other tribes to overtake the throne. The NightWings make a prophecy that states in twenty years five dragonets will stop the war. In Phyria, the dragons have their own language. They use words like scavengers, animus, and words like SeaWing or SkyWing.
The word SeaWing or SkyWing refers to a type of dragon. A SeaWing is a water dragon who lives in the ocean. A SkyWing is a dragon who lives in the mountains up in the sky. They also have big wings and like flying. A dragon type has the main part of their environment plus “Wing”. The dragons use this alot when referring to other dragons, like, “Hey IceWing, get down here!” Instead of dragons saying, “Pink scales, go over there!”, they use *BLANK*Wing to make it easier. It is pretty easy to guess where a dragon lives and what they look like by what their name is. If I say SandWing, where do you think a SandWing lives? In the desert? CORRECT!!!
In Wings Of Fire there are creatures called Scavengers. These creatures stand on two legs, have tiny hands, no weapons, and hair on their head. They…are…HUMANS! Dragons refer to humans as scavengers. This is because the humans in the book like to collect treasure. In the dragon world, dragons cannot understand humans, and some dragons eat them. I know, gross. Few dragons keep them as pets. Some dragons keep them as pets because they think Scavengers are animals like a dog or a cat. Smolder the SandWing keeps a pet scavenger named Flower. Winter kept a pet scavenger named Bandit. Sunny and her friends think that scavengers are smarter than they seem. Scavengers are described throughout the book wearing human clothes, roasting chicken, and riding camels, like normal humans.
These are the words in Wings Of Fire that wouldn’t make sense if you didn’t read the books. There are many other words, like animus, Eye Of Onyx, and The Diamond Challenge. I would NOT want to be a scavenger. I wouldn’t like to be eaten, by the way. If I was a dragon, I would be a SeaWing!
