Wings of Fire Theory: The Secret Assassin

 So, I came up with a random Wings of Fire theory that I decided to post here. All I'm going to say is, Starflight better watch out.

The Secret Assassin

    My theory is that before (spoiler alert) the volcano exploded in Book Four, The Dark Secret, an assassination plot was underway. And I think it was Flame who was planning to murder Starflight. The poor guy, first Icicle and now this.
    Why do I think this? Well, there is evidence in The Dark Secret that Flame went down to the dungeons were Deathbringer was being kept and asked how to become an assassin. Why would you ask to become an assassin unless you wanted to kill someone? Then there was the drama with Viper stabbing him and almost dying from SandWing poison. So, you know, he didn't really have time. And by process of elimination, you can get a pretty good idea who it is.
    There are a few that Flame hates the most. Viper, Squid, Ochre, Fatespeaker, Morrowseer, and Starflight. He probably wouldn't want to kill Ochre. He doesn't like him, but probably not enough to go asking Deathbringer how to become an assassin about. I'm not sure if that was before or after Squid left and Viper fell into the lava, but he doesn't seem to get so riled up about them he wants to kill them, so you can cross them off the list. Then there's Morrowseer, although Flame has a very slim chance of actually killing him. That leaves Fatespeaker and Starflight. Correct me if I'm wrong (it's been a while since I read Book 4), but I think that Flame glared at Starflight while he was exiting the dungeons. It might have just been a mutual glare at everything the world has ever done to him, but I think it was directed at Starflight. Before that, Morrowseer had ordered the false prophecy dragonets to kill Starflight, and that ended up with Flame and Ochre in the dungeon for a night. If Moon's brief glimpse inside his mind wasn't enough, I think that Flame would harbor a pretty deep grudge against Starflight for that. Although Flame might have been trying to become an assassin for the joy of killing dragons, I think it's more probable that he was out to kill Starflight. If you find anything wrong with this theory, feel free to tell me.

Cursed: Chapter Seven: Investigation

Chapter Seven Investigation     "It can only be two things. At least, that I know of." Winter had invited me over to his den that night to talk things over, and I had reluctantly agreed. Maybe Guardian guy wouldn't want to spy on me if there was a dragon right next to me. But something told me it was going to be harder than that to shake him off. Now Winter and I were sitting, discussing the observatory crisis.     "But it's possible it's something you've never heard of before."     "It's always possible it's something I've never heard of before." I leaned back against the wall, picturing Bull's body. "But in this case, I doubt it."     "What do you think they are?" Winter asked doubtfully.     "See, that's the thing. The only two things I know that have black venom are, one, RainWings. But it can't be them," I added, as Winter opened his mouth to protest. "They don't actually s

Cursed: Chapter Four: The Scavenger Observatory

  This is kind of a short chapter. Sorry. Chapter Four The Scavenger Observatory     All in all, I was pretty sure I was hiding my nervousness from Winter pretty well. It probably helped that he couldn't see me, too. We had decided that the fastest way there was for me to ride him, with much misgivings from each of us. Mostly when I thought of riding something, I thought of riding a horse or donkey. Now I was riding a dragon about 100 meters in the air. I guess that's why they invented the phrase, "Expect the unexpected." My whole life has been full of unexpected things. Speaking of which, who was the boy in my room? It seemed kind of suspicious.     But anyway, the reason I was nervous was because I was going to see people. I had never actually had a conversation with anyone besides Winter before. I could hear the word "nervous" repeated uncountable times in Winter's wingbeats. Nervous, nervous, nervous, nervous,  nerv-     "Here." Winter'

Cursed: Chapter Five: Staying Hidden

  Just a heads up here, I think that every five chapters or something I'll do something like what I did in the prologue where you hear some people that you don't know talking about things you don't understand, so this isn't really essential to the story and you can skip this if you want. Okay? Good. Chapter Five Staying Hidden     He was waiting. He didn't usually leave his charge very often, considering she might try to kill herself again without him watching, but this was important. He had been watching her for sixteen years now, and he was going to be visited by the Leader. He shifted uncomfortably, thinking about it. Would he be displeased by his performance? She had  almost killed herself, anyway. But he had saved her, so she wasn't dead, right?     He rubbed his forehead. He had to stop worrying. Calm yourself. His mother's patient voice echoed in his ears, although it had been ten years since she had left him, with the occasional visit to catch up on
