Wings of Fire Winglets #2: Assassin Fan-made Audiobook
RoseBlossom2468 for Greatness (Art by Wings of Fire Fandom)
Greatness, despite being a princess (and only heir), is not interested in becoming queen of the NightWings, and occasionally expresses it defiantly. Battlewinner describes her as weak and unambitious. She accepts who she is and puts her own needs before her tribe, like when she ran out of the NightWing tunnel to the rainforest without checking to be sure her dragons were safe. When Starflight first saw her, he was certain she wasn't the queen, as he noticed that as she sat down her wings slumped in a tired manner and she didn't emit a queenly aura.
"The queen has a proposal, [...] The dragonet must prove himself to be as good as you claim, Quickstrike. If he can kill either Vengeance or Slaughter tonight, instealth, before the sun rises, then he can go with you. If not, then you must choose one or both of them instead."
“Wait,” Greatness said. “Let me stand by the Queen’s Eye, in case Mother has anything to say.” The sound of her wings flapping filled the cave, and Deathbringer pictured her flying up to perch beside the screen. “All right,” she called. “Go ahead.”
“It does go against all our rules,” Greatness said apologetically. “He’s just too young, Quickstrike. You know we never let dragonets leave the kingdom until they’re ten years old. Isn’t he only four?”
