A dragon without its rider is a tragedy. A rider without their dragon is dead. - Article One, Section One, The Dragon Rider's Codex "Anyone else feel like changing their mind?" Xaden shouts, scanning the remaining rows of cadets with the same shrewd gaze of the navy-blue dragon behind him. "No? Excellent. Roughly half of you will be dead by this time next summer." The formation is silent except for a few untimely sobs from my left. "A third of you again the year after that, and the same your last year. No one cares who your mommy or daddy is here. Even King Tauri's second son died during his Threshing. So tell me again: Do you feel invincible now that you've made it into the Rider's Quadrant? Untouchable? Elite?" No one cheers. Another blast of heat rushes - this time directly at my face - and every muscle in my body clenches, preparing for incineration. But it's not flames... just steam, and it blows back Rhiannon's braid as the dragons finish their simultaneous exhale. The breeches on the first-year ahead of me darken, the color spreading down his legs. They want us scared. Mission accomplished. "Because you're not untouchable or special to them." Xaden points toward the navy dragon and leans forward slightly, like he's letting us in on a secret as we lock eyes. "To them, you're just the prey." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Whose that?" "Rhae Sorrengail, the forgotten daughter. She's Violet's twin, they're nothing alike though. Violet is the calm before a storm, and Rhae is the hurricane. The anger and stubbornness of that woman are insane." "God forbid she and Xaden stay in the same room for too long. Someone would likely end up dead." Started: June 5, 2025.

Reagan was always left out and pushed aside, always forgotten about. Living with a foster family who were as loyal to the Crown of Navarre as the King himself, she felt very unprepared for Conscription Day. She had no training to become a Dragon Rider- even the other Relic kids ignored her. Now at 20 she's forced into the Riders Quadrant, where her chance of surviving until Threshing is almost zero. Ride or die. Those are her options. However, the longer she survives, the more she feels that maybe... Just maybe she might have a shot, maybe even bond a dragon, find some friends. The longer she survives, the more she questions her past, one she always thought she knew, but now...? She needs to figure out who she is and how she fits into this rebellion war around her. •§• Takes place during Iron Flame (Book 2 of The Empyrean Series - "Fourth Wing" - by Rebecca Yarros- all rights of the world and her characters ext to her) *will have Iron Flame and Onyx Storm spoilers*

Going to Basgiath was the same for everyone, a death sentence for most, something that Rowyn Ryder understood very well. But she was trained by the best-or at least the best her small town had seen in generations-so there was no way that she was dying. At least she thought so. On top of the Riders Quadrant trying to kill her everyday, she has to find away to not by the hands of a fellow cadet, all because of a vendetta against her dead brother. Despite her decision to not fall in love with anyone while at Basgiath, she does just that, but finds that being in love is just as dangerous as facing a dragon. There are lies and betrayals and Rowyn still has to make it to formation in the morning. There is not much she can do but take the punches as they land. But does she have the strength to do so, or will she end up like every other eager cadet? Dead and everything they owned burned.

A dragon without its rider is a tragedy. A rider without their dragon is dead. And Rose Sorrengail has spent her entire life making sure she will be neither.

While Violet stumbles unwillingly into the Riders Quadrant, Rose charges forward, determined to carve out her own legend within Basgiath War College. But surviving Conscription Day is just the beginning. In a world where strength is currency and dragons don't bond with the weak, Rose quickly becomes known-for her precision, her ruthlessness... and the trail of blood left in her wake. Her enemies fear her. Her instructors warn about her. And Xaden Riorson-lethal wingleader with shadows in his eyes-can't seem to stay away. With war looming, and a rare power awakening within her, Rose must decide what kind of rider she'll become-and what she's willing to sacrifice to protect what's hers. In Basgiath, only the ruthless survive. And Rose Sorrengail was born to conquer.

She was pulled away from her family, placed with people who she knew wished for her death for what her father had supposedly done, and left alone with her grief. When she enters Basgiath War College, all she wants is to make it through alive. Little does she know faith has planned way more for her. {Fanfiction set in the Empyrean universe} {Liam Mairi x OC}

"Your brother will not be pleased." "When is he ever?" Evalyn Riorson never lived in the shadows of her brother's presence. She had always been his equal. He had always been her shield.

Ivy Sorrengail always knew she would be a rider. It didn't matter that she was tasked with keeping her sister alive in the quadrant. It didn't matter that the marked ones hated her for her mother. It didn't matter that the others hated her because they couldn't beat her. And it didn't matter that her own wingleader was hopping she failed. She wasn't just going to survive, she was going to thrive. ** This is my twist on Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yaros. I do not own the story.
