Description
Queen Ruby lay upon her throne, a tall column-like structure carved into the shape of clouds. Her large wings were draped to the floor on either side of her, the throne designed in such a way as to show off the unique impressive wingspan that only a SkyWing could display. Behind Ruby's head was a large circular window filled with gold stained glass to make it look as if her head was always haloed in sunlight. Since Ruby's reign had begun, most of the gold that had been all over this room had been stripped away in order to fund Ruby's reformation of the tribe, including turning the gladiator arena into a hospital… The only splash of real gold that Peril could see lay upon Ruby's head, even she knew better than to discard the sunburst crown. It was one of the most prized possessions of the tribe; a crown made to look as if the bearer wore the sun itself upon her brow.
~ Broken Fragments, Chapter 32

It's been a while since I've done one of these huh, lol
But I am putting new life into these little portraits! So here we are, more world building for my fanfiction AU of Wings of Fire: Broken Fragments. This time we're looking at the SkyWings - I know people usually see them as a European influence but I wanted to go in a different direction and so introduced more of an Imperial Chinese feel to their finery and architecture. I'm quite liking this
