There were ancient warnings carved into the palace walls long ago. They spoke of pale IceWings whose scales would stain red before a disaster struck. Most dragons didn’t believe the stories and it had long since faded from memory...that is, until Crimson hatched. Crimson-colored patches spread across his wings and throat like bl00d frozen into snow. It only seemed to grow as he did. Because of this, other dragonets avoided him. No matter how hard Crimson tried to act like a “proper” IceWing, dragons only saw him as a threat. Then one night, during a violent snowstorm, several important IceWings vanished from the palace. Their b0d1es were later discovered bur1ed beneath the snow, frozen solid, covered in claw marks, and stained red. Crimson was found nearby barely conscious, his claws bl00dy and that was enough. The kingdom declared him a 'terror', guilty without so much as a trial and imprisoned him beneath the palace in heavy enchanted gold chains that were specially designed to weaken his frostbreath. The metal scarred his scales permanently and a long time passed in darkness. At first, Crimson tried desperately to prove his innocence, but eventually he stopped speaking as nothing came from his protests. It wasn’t long before guards began to talk about strange happenings. About seeing glowing eyes in the dark, and even prisoners disappearing without explanation. Now of course, whether the rumors were true or not, no longer mattered. Then one winter, an avalanche destroyed part of the prison and Crimson disappeared. Now, sometimes dragons wandering through blizzards report seeing a pale, crimson-stained IceWing draped in gold jewlery(a reforged remanent of his chains). Many theories have been told, some believe he hunts the descendants of the dragons who imprisoned him while others think he’s still searching for the truth behind the massacre that ruined his life. But most IceWings agree on one thing, If you hear jewerly rattling in the snow, Crimson Terror already knows you’re there. .❅· ❆ ·❅. ❄ ── Note ── ❄ I honestly didn’t expect to get this invested in this character when I first started. I originally just kinda wanted to try drawing a dragon for funsies especially since fistash's designs are gorgeous and amazing + since I’d never drawn one before. But as I worked on Crimson Terror, I lowkey have ended up getting really attached to the design and the idea behind them. TvT I ended up spending a rly rly long time on both the drawing + writing ':> I would say that this was a really fun experience and I feel like I learned a lot from it =w=' So uh.. I wish myself luck lol- To fistash: Thank you for hosting the DTA <3 (and thank you for the extensions----) .❅· ❆ ·❅. ⋆˚✿˖° thank you for reading ✧ DTA entry: Crimson Terror ✧ character: ✧ song: “Carrion Flowers” by Chelsea Wolfe . . . ⇢ ˗ˏˋ ❄ ࿐ྂ ⇢ ˗ˏˋ end ❄
