How did I get to be a Councillor?
__The story I’ve always been told was that Pitch decided he wanted to fill all of the Councillor positions as soon as possible after my brother, Dusk, was born and became the next Councillor. I was chosen purely because of my blood relations to the majority of the current Councillors.
__As to how I became the Head Trainer, I happened to sneak inside the current trainer’s pack as a hatchling and make it all the way to the training site. The dragons who were battling at the moment let me watch them train from a distance for a couple hours before Pitch came back here looking for me.
__“Shadow, what are you doing? These dragons exist just because we need money. You’re an esteemed Councillor, you don’t have to leave the safety of the Shadow Fortress.”
__“But Pitch,” I whined, “This is really cool! Why can’t I learn to fight?”
__Pitch rolled his eyes. “Fine. I’ll talk to Opal about training you in defensive fighting techniques when we get back. Hey, if you want, you could become the head of defence for the entire Fortress! Wouldn’t that be cool?”
__“No. I want to learn to fight monsters! Evan showed me a few of her moves, and-”
__Pitch made a big show of putting me down and storming towards Evan. “Why have you been filling my grandson’s head with your battle nonsense? He’s a Councillor, for Shadowbinder’s sake!”
__Evan shrugged, saying, “He insisted on it. Since he’s a Councillor, we had to follow his orders.”
__With a big exhale, Pitch pinched the bridge of his nose with his claws and muttered something. I couldn’t catch everything, but I did hear, “… why… shouldn’t… multiple leaders…”
__When he looked me straight in my eyes again, it was terrifying. “I’ll tell you what, Shadow. When we get back to the Fortress, we’ll talk about it with the rest of the Councillors. How does that sound?” When I nodded, he scooped me up again and set off for the Tangled Wood.
__The Council argued for what seemed like hours about what to do with me. Half of them were on Pitch’s side, saying that it would look bad if a Councillor became a trainer, and the other half took the stance that I should be able to make it my specialty.
__They finally decided on my current situation, but it still hurts to think about how many of them didn’t support my dreams.

_PERSONALITY_

____It’s completely unfair. Shadow dragons have so much priority in this clan. I moved here because I heard it was inclusive, and made sure every dragon’s voice was heard. Thinking back, that was a Shadow dragon.
If things won’t change, then either I leave everyone to fight by themselves, or I will make something happen.

____Battle fulfills me. Being a Councillor scares me. When I have to attend those meetings, and fill out all of that paperwork, it makes me feel trapped. I was only chosen for this position because I’m Pitch’s grandson, Silhouette’s son, and Dusk’s brother.
But when I’m out there, battling monsters, I feel satisfied. Not only because of the bloodlust, but I like training dragons. Making them stronger. I feel proud that I can help advance their skills. And with every dragon I train, I feel myself getting stronger. I’m really proud of how far I’ve come.
I can’t wait to see how far I’ll go.

_INFORMATION_

____Role in Clan - Head Trainer/Shadow Councillor - As well as being a Shadow Councillor, Shadow is the head fighter and goes out with the Coliseum team to train them.

____Strength - Dignity was born to lead, or at least hold an important role. She can convince dragons to fight for a cause, especially the cause she created against the Shadow Council, and delegate roles to make sure the task is covered.

____Weakness - Though she can lead and delegate well, Dignity struggles with sitting down and taking the time to thoroughly think through a plan. She works better in the moment than preparing beforehand, but sometimes she's caught unprepared for stuff life throws at her.

TThe dictionary definition of “dignity” is as follows: “1: the quality or state of being worthy, honored, or esteemed.” And yet, here I am, stuck in the Ice lair. The four of us are branded as weak, and we’re placed in the very back of the order. And it’s all because we’re weakest against Shadow, the flight of the lair.
__We can’t help it, of course. Shadow has always been stronger than Ice. But we’re stronger than other flights here. Why do they feel like they can talk down to us?
__Hold it. An idea had started to form in my mind.
__Nannette, an acquaintance of mine, was busy reading in her bramble room. I knocked lightly on the wall.
__“Hmm?” she said, not looking up.
__“What flight are we stronger than?”
__“Pardon?”
__“You heard me.”
__Nannette thought for a second. “Ice is stronger than Plague and Nature, but we’re strongest against Water.”
__Because Shadow pales when faced with Plague, we don’t allow many of those dragons in. Right now, we have two, unless you count the ones in hibernation. But they won’t wake until the Shadow Council allows them to.
__She must have seen the contemplative look on my face, because she asked cautiously, “Why? What are you thinking about?”
__“I don’t know about you,” I started, “but I’m tired of being treated like… like we’re a waste of lair space. Can’t we use those who are weaker than us to our advantage?”
__The spiral looked shocked. “You mean like a revolution?”
__“Umm, sure.” Truth be told, I hadn’t thought of it like that before. “If only we had more Plague, then we’d have more power when we revolt.”
__“I don’t know, Dignity. There could be a peaceful resolution to this. Silver is an ambassador, can’t we tell him to stick up for us a little?”
__I could have stopped there. I don’t know why I didn’t. I had to say with hate in my eyes, “The Shadow Council needs to know how it feels to constantly be talked down to all their lives.”
__“You weren’t even born here,” Nannette muttered, but I pretended not to hear her.
__“They need to feel the effect of their actions can lead to dangerous consequences. They need-”
__“Wow. Okay. Let’s stop here.” She got up and crossed the room to me. “I like your ideas, but we need to be tactful about this. If we get up and revolt without being much of a threat, the Council would take us out in a matter of seconds. Let’s see who we can get on our side.”
__We strategized for the rest of the day until Aleena and Silver came in to tell us it was almost curfew. I gave Nannette a meaningful look as if to say, “Would they want in on this?” She nodded, and gave me another meaningful look. Somehow, I knew that she was advising me to be careful.
__Aleena noticed the looks we gave each other. “What’s going on? Use your words.”
__I ignored her demeaning comment. “You know how we’re not being treated… fairly compared to all the other flights?” I looked at Nannette, and she gave me a nod of approval.
__Silver considered for a moment. Slowly, he whispered, “We founded this clan in the Southern Icefield, you know. Built it from the ground up. We were extremely successful, until a Shadow dragon called Zura came along. She was a donation from a clan, and came with some battle experience. When we took her in, we thought she would protect us. Instead, she threatened us.”
Aleena continued, “She said that she would wipe us out if we didn’t move to the Tangled Wood. Zura also said if we defied her, she could take over and move everyone else anyway. There was nothing we could do.
__“From there she proceeded to create the Shadow Council and to sort everyone else by flight. The dynamic of the other flights, the projects, and the dragons for sale changed, but one idea remained the same: Ice was weak and the easiest to keep in line. It didn’t even matter that we’re stronger than other flights.”
__“It’s definitely infuriating,” Silver agreed.
__Nannette cleared her throat. “What would you say if we said we had some ideas about taking action?”
__“I’d say we’re all for it.”
__“What if we said we’re thinking of something less than peaceful?”
__“I’d say as long as we’re smart about it, it could work,” Aleena chimed in.
__“What would you say about overthrowing the Council?”
__Everyone looked at me. Nannette glared at me, signaling that I was being too blunt.
__But Silver nodded. “We need to take our clan back. It could be the only way to settle this.”
__"What do we need to do to make this work?" Nannette asked.
__Aleena answered, “We should… persuade Illusion, Roden, Realm and Nightmare, and in turn they’ll tell the rest of their flights to side with us. Except for Roden and Illusion, of course.
__“But we’ll need a Plan B, just in case we can’t overthrow the Council, at least for the time being.”
__“Like what? Seceding?” I asked.
__Silver considered for a moment, then answered, “Quite possibly. Then, everyone will be forced to take a side and we could even get other flights that Shadow doesn’t have power over, like Arcane and Light, or that they bully, like Fire and Wind.”
__Suddenly, there was a voice at the end of the bramble hallway that led to our special portion of the lair. It was Pitch, the head of the Shadow Council.
__“What are you doing?” he asked when he saw all of us congregated in Nannette’s room. “Not going to try anything, are you? Not that it’ll work. We’ll squash you like a bug if you put a claw out of line.” Laughing, he added, “Go to sleep. The Shadows aren’t good for you.”
__“That may be so,” I muttered, “but there are things that can take you down, too.”

B I O G R A P H Y

I don’t know what the whole deal with the revolution is. I mean, we haven’t been that bad, have we? I guess I’ve never really been there to see how Pitch and the rest of the Councillors act towards Ice dragons.
__But I’ve worked with some before, and I’ll continue to work with them. They’re nice to have when fighting Water enemies.
__When I was visiting the Councillor’s chambers, as I do every few days, Pitch was sitting and banging his head on the desk.
__“Um, Pitch? Are you okay?”
__“No. Shadow, how are we supposed to deal with the dragons who have ideas?”
__“Ideas?”
__“Yes, ideas. Ideas can be dangerous. I don’t want us to run into an issue with the revolution.”
__“Don’t worry, Pitch. We’ll still have plenty of dragons who are loyal to us once everyone gets sorted out.”
__“Yes, but not enough!” Pitch stood up and flew around me in circles. “We have to do something without it looking bad. Like we’re trying to suppress this revolution at all costs.”
__I considered for a moment. Thinking out loud, I replied, “What if, instead of trying to force them, incentivize them to stay.”
__“Brilliant, Shadow. It’s a shame you’re rarely in here, we need you and your good ideas more often.”
__“I thought you said ideas-”
__“You know,” he continued, “it’s up to us. We have the responsibility here to keep total chaos from breaking out.”
__So I guess the reason I’m siding with Shadow is, I’m a Councillor. It’s my job. And I go along with what they want.
