A comic page showing the Dragonets of Destiny. They are flying around in a spacious cavern while chasing small rabbits. Tsunami is carrying two baskets, Glory is carrying a heavy bag, and Sunny and Clay are carrying a tarp between them. Starflight is sitting on the floor, leaning against a wall. "That's enough. You caught most of them", calls out Dune, their guardian, who is perching atop a nearby stone platform. "Gather before me, swiftly and silently! Now!" The Dragonets land and assemble before Dune, who addresses each of them. "I took the liberty of watching you and I will now assess how each of you performed during this hunt. First, Sunny. Your movements were sharp and clear, and you expertly anticipated every move of your prey." Sunny listens intently and seems happy. "Tsunami. You have good instincts but lack restraint. Half of these carcasses are mince." Tsunami, annoyed, rolls her eyes. "Of course he praises Sunny and chews me out," she says. "I caught twice as many as her." Dune continues: "Clay. You have the strength but your movements are dull and clumsy. These rabbits ran circles around you." Clay is calm and says "I'm sorry, I just prefer bigger prey." Moving on to Starflight, who is completely out of breath and bracing himself on Clay's wing, Dune simply says "If I had tears left I would be weeping." Finally, Dune completes the assessment, passing over Glory entirely and instead telling them to finish eating quickly and go to sleep. When Glory confronts him and asks how she did, Dune says: "Glory? I was preoccupied. I didn't have time to watch you." Glory looks to the side, looking disappointed but not surprised. Her colors shift into dull browns and sickly greens. "... Right," she says. "Good hunt, everyone."
A comic featuring Glory. She has retreated into a small alcove with two scrolls, rolled up next to her. She is lying against the back wall and covering herself with her wings. The colors are moody, drab, and dark. Glory looks on silently, seeming like she is lost in thought. After a while of not saying anything, she lowers her head slightly. Her mouth curls into a deep frown and tears begin to well up in her eyes. She is about to start crying. "No," she says matter-of-factly, catching the tears with her talons before they roll down her face. A hint of a red glow spreads through her scales, replacing the dull dark blue she was earlier. The last panel is a close up of her eyes, shown very prominently. There is no sadness visible in them anymore, just fierceness, anger, and determination. "You are NOT getting that satisfaction from me!" she declares, balancing the tear she shed on her digit.
I've been asked about what I think of Glory, so I'm doing a little write-up for Tumblr and I made this 2-page comic for it.
The write-up isn't done yet, but I'm showing the comic ahead of time to you, and you alone. It will be our little secret. Shhh...
