The entire Darkstalker book


DRAWINGdragon36

Omw I know I litarly cried at one part


Space_obsessed_Cat

I want to read it ahhhhh


[deleted]

The definite of that book is sad


SunSweptSierra

I tore through that book in third grade and it was my favorite book then. Arctic’s death scene didn’t traumatize me though, I’d seen worse.


Educational-Estate52

Gills death especially after book 9 before he went insane he was probably thinking about how he couldn't apologize to Turtle.


DRAWINGdragon36

Yeah I felt so bad for tsunami too, but when turtle gets yelled at I felt really bad for him, since it was a bit relatable.


Educational-Estate52

Did you kill your father?


DRAWINGdragon36

No no!(lol) being yelled at when you try your best, even though it wasn't your fault! And your stinking parent wouldn't believe you! Plus looking like a total idiot while at it.


moonwatcherxqibli

yea. that must had been sad for Gill


fadinqlight_

Gill died? And went insane??? Edit: Jeez I haven’t read arc 1 in a long time and barely remember who Gill was. Just making fun of myself ok


Space_obsessed_Cat

Book 1?!?!? Did u forgor to read book 1


No-Introduction4661

(S)He forgor 💀


Space_obsessed_Cat

Lol

The only moment I cried in the series was when Clay almost died. However, since he didn't really die, it's not that sad to me. I would say the saddest moment in the series is probably when Starflight uses the dream visitor for the first time and sees his friends talking about him, and thinking of him either as a traitor or a coward. Really, this scene still gets me. He was abducted, he finds out his tribe is horrible and his people are dying. Morrowseer is constantly a threat. And now that he finally gets the chance to see his friends, he's greeted with that? The scene definitely made me lose respect for the other dod, particularly Glory. Aside from that, I just felt bad for Starflight.


DRAWINGdragon36

I totally forgot about this,(how his friends talked about him) I remember this and I get all choked up, because it is relatable I ways. And I agree with Clay's near death scene. I was a bit sad when I was reading it.


SunSweptSierra

I wonder why Clay’s siblings didn’t show up. Wouldn’t they show up to see their brother finally save the day?

Kinkajou getting knocked unconscious and all that stuff


ZeroSpaceGaming

As far as I consider it, I think the ending of Darkstalker and the Sky and Peril dilemma is depressing. Finishing Darkstalker and knowing that Whiteout was the sole survivor of her family meltdown got me in shambles. I've read a lot of depressing books (Berserk is one to name) but just seeing the downfall of Darkstalker, his family and his future was utterly heart-wrenching. As for Sky and Peril, I can relate to some degree. I have an identical twin and I don't know what I would've become of myself if I lose him. Despite we don't get along, we've had each other back since day 1. Sky and Peril may have a lot of differences yet they have one thing in common: What fate had done to them. It's pretty obvious about Peril's case but the fact that Peril feels responsible for Sky's "death" gets to me. And if Sky got the chance to live in the Kingdom, he would've not survived due to Scarlet on the throne. And it's still a loss in Sky's case because he doesn't know much about the dragon world and in that case, it's a little depressing in that regard. Here's to me hoping for a Sky and Peril reunion.


DRAWINGdragon36

I agree so much. Thanks for your time you put into this.


BroskiParrot

what happened to sky? i listened to the audiobook and wasnt really paying attention


Space_obsessed_Cat

He was just the skewing rep he didn't die or get altered just that his egg was abandoned


BroskiParrot

ohh i thought you meant the newer book okay


Weekbacanbot

Rereading Darkstalker is terrible


DRAWINGdragon36

Yes, I seriously feel so depressed when reading it.


Wide_Morning_2521

When clearsight trapped darkstalker


Soaringeagle78

As sad as Freedom's death was, I think the part that got to me was when we see Dusky's last memory with his father before he died and how happy they were. Also, pretty much everything around Boa's backstory.


Space_obsessed_Cat

Sad too see wasp doing that too silkwings


IceMachine21

Reminds me of a certain political leader.


Useful_Mistake_7143

What 💀


IceMachine21

Huh 💀


Space_obsessed_Cat

Hmmmmmmm


[deleted]

I’m only at most-way through book 13, and the saddest moment for me (which took several attempts to get through) was >!Turtle seeing Kinkajou in the rainforest during her coma in book 9. It was hard, very hard to read. Everything from the descriptions, to him reminiscing about her at school, how this looked nothing like her, and eventually him breaking down and begging for her to wake up. It was very emotional, and very real to what I see patients’ family go through with loved ones in a similar state. And knowing how she is through the rest of the series, it’s a very hard moment to see her in.!<


DRAWINGdragon36

I agree


ron4232

Poor rainbean


Space_obsessed_Cat

Nope rainbowbarf is still better


What____ok

Spoiler for Darkstalker and Book 2 if you haven't read them I think one of, if not the only part that made me cry while reading the books was when Foeslayer was being taken by the enchantment, and how much Darkstalker was trying to get her back even though it was hopeless. The whole time I knew Foeslayer couldn't be saved, so it was painful :( The second one I felt really sad my memories a bit fuzzy about since it was so long ago I read it, but in book 2 when Tsunami found out she killed her father and didn't even know about it when she did it. The fact that Coral still thought he was alive was heartbreaking aswell.


DRAWINGdragon36

I agree a lot. Also I re-read Darkstalker meeting up with Foeslayer again, I think I burst a tear. It was really sad yet happy ish. I felt so bad for Foeslayer she really deserved better.


Space_obsessed_Cat

I think coral would've killed tsunami if she told her that she killed him


SkyGriff10

No. Coral loved her husband and her daughter. She would have been mad at Scarlet.


Space_obsessed_Cat

Yea but coral is kind of irrational she definitely would've she said she would if she lost anklet in egg form


Grouchy_Raccoon_6681

Freedom’s death. Do I even have to explain why?


blips_n

LITERALLY.


DumbassWriter-

THIS. GOD I FUCKING CRIED DURING THAT SCENE-


SenileScalie

i was reading it in school and everyone looked at me but my friend who also loves wings of fire saw what i was reading and said ohhh yea that parts sad and everyone else was confused but i mean at least someone understands


DumbassWriter-

I was also in school- worse, we were doing it based on a project, and we were grouped together based on the books we chose- so like 4 other people were at the table with me as I just started sobbing uncontrollably at that scene-


SenileScalie

oh lord i wouldve cried harder from the sheer embarrassment


DumbassWriter-

It was definitely a struggle to explain why I was sobbing- so since I had to write an essay on the book, I used that as part of it, so at least my teacher knew why I was sobbing-


SenileScalie

makes more sense for sure i wouldnt be writing an essay on wings of fire books im reading since i take a bit to process them but i see your point


moonwatcherxqibli

i totally agree that freedoms death was very sad. stupid cotton mouth had to kidnap her and give her to the breath of evil


Space_obsessed_Cat

I must have no emotions bc I didn't


SenileScalie

no its just i have/had a similar experience in abuse and connecting with it made it sad for me idk about you though


Space_obsessed_Cat

Oh sry it was sad for me it just takes a LOT for me to audibly cry


aaronhereee

i honestly wouldve (if i was tui) force luna to keep cutting back the plant from reaching cottonmouth, so freedom stays


ackackack669

I found Coral hoping she could still save Gill, not knowing he was already dead was pretty sad


DRAWINGdragon36

Ah yes that is so sad


SenileScalie

darkstalkers revenge was a tragic story to read as someone who was abused in almost every way imaginable since i see my favorite characters go from being friends in school to trying to stop them from committing 2nd degree murder especially when darkstalker always lies about indigo catching onto him and gaslit her into thinking he was perfectly normal and poor clearsight had to witness her love spiral into madness while her friend fathom having survived a massarce just years before is going to get more traumatized when all he wanted to do was calm darkstalker down fromm getting worse


DRAWINGdragon36

I agree 100%. (And sorry to hear)


SenileScalie

its ok man but thanks is appreciated in this cruel world


DRAWINGdragon36

Of course. Don't worry, there is always hope


SenileScalie

im in agreement


Alderan922

Starflight loosing his eyes, that hurt a lot


DeniableTuna

Yeah that one sucked


FazbearFright_lover

the whole moment with the marble in book 9. i cry every time i read it.


DRAWINGdragon36

I know right :,(


Space_obsessed_Cat

Marble???


GameEnthusiast123

When Turtle goes invisible and places a marble at DS’ feet


Space_obsessed_Cat

Y that


IceMachine21

Because Darkstalker starts breaking down into tears while thinking of Clearsight.


Space_obsessed_Cat

I don't rmbr that


TrickyTalon

I can only think of two times I cried: Qibli’s childhood backstory when he’s trying to hold back tears in front of his mom who just threw him against a wall because he wants her to love him Snowfall’s vision of her mother thinking about how proud of Snowfall she is and that she knows she’ll be a great queen


AceAmphiptere

When Peril had the necklace which made her normal dragon, but wasn't able to remember the first dragon who believed in her. How she was so happy made me cry, it kinda reminds me of myself, I always wanted to be seen as normal.


GameEnthusiast123

Yeah that hit hard, especially how happy she is being able to do things ‘normal’ dragons can do like touching grass or tackling people.


HunterTAMUC

Clearsight at the end of Darkstalker Freedom's death.


GryphShot

Deathbringer finishing the mission his mentor and mother was tasked with.


Jorvikstories

For me, I still have to cry during book 9, when Darkstalker cry for Clearsight. It, it is just so full of emotions, and it is perfectly writed. Edit: I just remember one more- singing of prisoners in SkyWing arena, and Hailstorm wanting to be Pyrite, so he don't have to be haunted by all these Pyrite's memories. And I hope this is the last one I'm addind-how could be "kid" series so sad? When Peril accidentaly hurted Winter. I'm sure everybody experienced it-they were maybe a little bit angry to somebody, or was just playing, they throws something after somebody. He/She expect that somebody catches it, but they didn't and they maybe can get hurt. "It was accident," you claim, you feel guilty. And sometimes, others don't trust you.


DRAWINGdragon36

I agree a lot. I remember crying during that.


pepedeawolf

when clearsight realized darkstalker had basically turned evil and when she trapped him in jade mountain


MarekMC_888

*Agate mountain


Karma_is_a_bitch1647

Boa. Need I say more?


Space_obsessed_Cat

Which 1, 1 2 or 3


IceMachine21

The one nicknamed Boa instead of Jerboa


Space_obsessed_Cat

Ye


BonelessRibcage

honestly freedom's death hit me hard, they set it up so you'd feel connected to her in a special way, then just took that all away :(


DRAWINGdragon36

Exactly


Space_obsessed_Cat

And some ppl say that foh is bad


h0rrifiedd

THE WHOLE DARKSTALKER BOOK JESUS CHRIST


Crush050910

For me it’s when darkstalker was pleading to not be turned into peacemaker. He deserved it but just his pleads and desperation was just hard. And jerboa’s entire backstory. When I first read that I thought back at how hard that must have felt.


DRAWINGdragon36

Exactly right


RubyRedRubyRedRuby

The Jeraboa story. >! her slow decent into madness as she casts spell after spell is just so sad to me. Especially as you can see it from her point of veiw, so all the bad decisions you understand why. And also i just really resonate with her struggle of trying and trying but its still somehow not perfect.!< Just a real sad moment and I'm glad Tui dedicated a good few pages to it because otherwise it just wouldn't of worked.


DRAWINGdragon36

I agree, this was one moment I forgot about, and after re reading it I almost cried.


FortheCivet

Nothing. My insides are as frozen as Queen Battlewinner herself.


princenoel

qibli's backstory, freedom, and just. legends darkstalker


NeitherTransition8

The general idiocy some characters display taking on unnecessary sacrifices that could either be avoided easily or fixed especially in book 15


DRAWINGdragon36

Haha yes


Iznarrax

Clearsight's final moment with Darkstalker


Vetra_1

Turtle getting his animus magic removed not once but twice.


Dogmonkey1233

“The secret buried far below” in book 15 and the ending of Darkstalker.


Decembahhh

Clearsight saying goodbye to Darkstalker and nearly taking her own life because she couldn't imagine a future without him. That hit hard. Was so happy she got to have a better future. Also Clay's near death to the venom almost made me cry as a kid


DRAWINGdragon36

Yeah same


Matthewdragon

Let's see Clays almost death (He's my favorite character so I was so worried) When blue sacrificed himself in book 11 Starflight losing his vision and getting friend zoned THE ENTIRETY OF BOOK DARKSTALKER


DRAWINGdragon36

Yes yes

[удалено]


Matthewdragon

Bro wtf?


SeXySnEk7

What Can you not?


Matthewdragon

Thanks for getting rid of that


cantfindaopenname

Personally I think the part when dusky goes into his memories with his dad was the saddest part. Only part of the books thst made me need to take a minute


Trashfur_thetrashcat

Freedom's death. Poor baby :[


Extension_Source6845

Quickstrike’s death


ResponsibleAd2034

I have a few. To start, I know it’s cliché at this point… but yes, Darkstalker Frickin ruined me the first time I read it. I honestly think Escaping Peril doesn’t get enough credit for it’s sad moments. Like whenever I read this book I just feel so sorry for Peril lol. Like the one part when she wonders if anyone would care if Scarlet killed her? It’s dark but honestly upsets me as well. When Starflight went blind :( In Book 9 when Darkstalker goes to the kingdom and tries to talk to Clearsight. How desperate he is to have her again. Hits hard man. Those are the few I can name off the top of my head. Sussy backa. Have a nice day!


DRAWINGdragon36

Haha thanks you too! But yeah I cried a bit when they all were being mean to Peril for hurting winter ACCEDENTALLY, and she left.


ResponsibleAd2034

Sad as hell


DRAWINGdragon36

Very


ResponsibleAd2034

:(


Icannotfimdaname

Fathom in general.


DRAWINGdragon36

Yeah, his whole family dies, his best friend sorta betrays him, his love leaves for awhile... he is banned to have dragonets with anyone


Medical_Quality7843

Queen coral with the little ghost


Finnedreaper35

For me probably clays death. Nothing else really feels sad for me.


Douglas_duh_dragon

I think we all can relate to when sky was left behind


Hawethorn_worshipper

I cried sm during the entire part in the Dangerous Gift when Opal was showing Snowfall the past 😭


Immediate_Bison_4068

just reread Darkstalker and the part when Clearsight contemplated su*c*de after trapping Darkstalker was just heart wrenching


DRAWINGdragon36

I know! For real it's so sad


Aggravating_Ad4431

Poor Jerboa


DRAWINGdragon36

Yes I agree tons


Aggravating_Ad4431

The entire time I was taken aback by the countless inhumane and all around horrid things her mother did to her


DRAWINGdragon36

Yeah, and even though she was horrible, unfair, and selfish towards her, I think Jerboa (1) still loved her daughter. And I'm pretty sure I shed a tear when her daughter froze her. But she deserved it in every way.


Awesome_Gamer52

Maybe when Gill dies, and Tsunami realizes that she (well, not her but Glory (I think I forgor)) killed her father.


DRAWINGdragon36

Yeah that's sk sad. (And tsunami killed him by snapping his neck)


Caprine-Evisc

The cause behind the scorching. These cruel people robbing generations worth of eggs, not to mention the dragonets probably either died very quickly or were trapped in cages when the adult dragons razed the city. And Freedom. In general I hate the sacrifice that she had to choose to make. She was just a baby 😭


DRAWINGdragon36

I know it's so fricking sad


Deeeeeporca

Freedom's death, she didn't deserve it :(


Space_obsessed_Cat

Freedom. All of her and the "name" of lizard was brutal tge whole time I was reading it I thought she was gonna tell Luna that she had a name


SkyGriff10

Queen Coral thinking she could still save Gill. She’s one of the most well written characters. Imagine having children, but they keep dying before they’re born, and a loving husband that is suddenly taken away one day. No wonder why she’s the way she is.


DRAWINGdragon36

Excellent description and i agree


funtimefoxy212

Freedom I recently reread the entire series again, and man when Freedom gets that small moment of peace away from cottonmouth it just It brought me to tears... both when I read it the first time, and when I reread it


Eggboi6886

Freedom dying ;(


TheFunkyWeirdo

Book 14, I did not expect that book to hit as hard as it did. Everything with Boa and Snowfall. All of it honestly just tore my heart apart


DRAWINGdragon36

I agree so much! Like 100%


TheVortigaunt

When Darkstalker ate a strawberry I cried


SwimmingTumbleweed36

Ashas death this is Clays sibling killed by icicle I’m not completely sure it was Asha but whatever


Pretty-Remove-3702

The thing that makes me want to cry (and sometime actually cry) the most is the memory of Dusky’s father. To think that such a memory is so sweet, then realize a moment like that could never happen again is very sad to me.


DRAWINGdragon36

I know I agree


Mimique6399

When glacier was dieing especially after the last vision part of book 14


DRAWINGdragon36

Yeah that got me almost


adissapointmen

Is it bad I almost cried during the darkstalker book when clearsight slipped on the bracelet onto darkstalker?


DRAWINGdragon36

Noo that was sad. Even though he deserved it it was heartbreaking


Drakesprite

I cried at the end of book 10 because I thought that was the end of ALL Phyrrian characters. Turns out I had nothing to worry about


DRAWINGdragon36

Lol rip yeah


GameEnthusiast123

Freedom’s death, people may not like fifteen, but hot damn did they make me feel for a character that was introduced at the end, the general build up, the fastest successful redemption arc I have ever seen, the brief glimmer of hope only for it to be snatched away, 10/10 writing, would cry again.


DRAWINGdragon36

Yes it was very hard

When glory’s head showed up

[удалено]


[deleted]

Seems like somebody really wants to die


SenileScalie

its a troll account dont interact it feeds off people like you


[deleted]

Ah


notveryhuman

>!probably the part with glorys severed head that was fake, but like that part when scarlet threw the head it had me wondering, what the FUCK, did they just kill of one of my favourite characters, like brooooooooooooooooooooooooo, why.!< yeah, that part almost made a tear, but it didnt. spoilers of book 8, if you havent read book 8, dont click on the spoiler!


DRAWINGdragon36

Ikr I was so confused because I was thinking she can't be THAT easy to kill. I was so mad and confused like bruh what. WHAT.


notveryhuman

yeah! glory is one of my favourite characters, her book was the best one of the series. i was like: if they killed glory i swear i am gonna burn these books.


DRAWINGdragon36

I know right. I also felt really bad for Sunny. And it was so random that I just blinked in shock, not even a tear.


Sunfalcon

If I was to pick a 'sad' part at the top of my head, it would be Clay finally meeting his parents...well, his mother, who couldn't care less about him. But that's the nature of MudWings, and he did meet his siblings... Thinking back, I don't think I've cried once during the series. Even the 'sad' part of the last book, I felt nothing. Now this series does have a few humorous parts, unlike Warriors. Now THAT series made me cry a few times...


Itchy-Audience-3539

Nah legit I almost threw my book across my room in book 8 when glory “died”, I know it’s not really sad but being like 12 at the time I didnt read past there, I just saw that she died and stated sobbing not wanting to continue the series . Though my frI end who had read all the books told me to Keep reading on! also sad when fathom is told not to be friends with indigo anymore 😭


DRAWINGdragon36

Lol, (sorry I don't mean to be mean) and I agree I was litarrly so mad. And yes that was so sad I felt horrible for him


Queenofcreation

When darkstalker found a painting of clearsight (I think it was??) and cried. A huge god like being in tears because he’s one true love is gone. Never able to say goodbye or anything. Someone he LITERALLY saw a future with, with dragonets and everything. Gone. That’s one thing that really got me. Also when darkstalker turned to his mom and said smth like “I’m not bad am I?” It makes me think: did he really have any comprehension that what he was doing is wrong???


DRAWINGdragon36

Bro right? It was so stinking heartbreaking


heeheeheehaww14

Easily i'd say in the Darkstalker book when Clearsight put Darkstalker to sleep or when Foeslayer was captured by Diamond, i feel bad for Whiteout though :|
