What If Peril Took Over the Skywings in Book One? [Se3Ep4]

Definitely my favorite one yet... maybe tied with the Hailstorm one but this one was really good.

You should do "what if fathom died in the seawing massacre" and"what if darkstalker was never put to sleep" also great video!

[@The.Legendary.SN00T]

Or ‘What if Qibli accepted Darkstalker’s deal’

[@Nico_wants_f00d]

Here are are some more What if fathom and darkstalker switched places What if Luna died What if willow was an animus What if orca became queen

[@LeilaSeal]

I love the ideas! Let's make it!!!!!!

[@benmiller6013]

Yes Cyprus listen do it. Do it NOW!

[@user-sz3qs7lz5s]

You should do also What if Luna wasn’t a flame silk.

[@ChunkyCherryEats]

“What if Luna wasn’t a flamesilk and Blue became Cricket’s servant before his metamorphosis”

[@nyakumakoang3531]

That is a good idea and btw silkwongs don’t get their jobs until 1-2 weeks after they get their wings

[@rowanwright4507]

That would be soooo cool, maybe for a simpler one it could just be what if Luna wasn't a flamesilk and then blue would be the first and would be captured etc.

[@CloudBearDesigns]

Yeah that’s a cool idea

[@sketchidragondraws]

“Y E A H SOOOOO *THAT* was a TRAUMATIC ENDING” my reaction too fr. THAT WAS PERFECT OMGOSH!! I just KNEW that viper was coming!

[@DuskTheSpiderSilkWing]

Same, so clear. But I still thought she put the necklace from Chameleon in there, but I knew it was the vipers. But she should have because she wouldn’t be worried about Perils threat.

[@idontneedachannelthanksyou7292]

I thought it was going to be clay! (Sedated or dead). Scarlet would say something like ‘I know this dragon hurt you, so I took care of him. Here, you can do the honors.’ Was so shocked fr

Ruby didn’t kill Scarlet. Did she?

[@CodeNinjasAmeliaIslandFL]

Honestly what I thought was going to happen was she hands it back to queen scarlet and then realizes that scarlet is a horrible person and betrays her and makes her meet a fiery end

[@quicksilvertheelegant3964]

I knew immediately once you said ‘wooden box’ what was about to happen, despite not having read the Brightest Night in years 😂 At first I wasn’t sure if Peril’s character could be pushed to this extreme but, I remember being distrusting of her whenever she showed up and I just remembered her canon response to finding out where Scarlet was, so this seems pretty likely. Very interesting What If 👍

[@Kingofthezucc]

I would think that the poison wouldn’t have killed peril considering how she burned the poison out of clay in the brightest night and then she would’ve killed scarlet but this ending is fine

[@quicksilvertheelegant3964]

@@KingofthezuccYeah that was my thought too, but it’s fine for the story’s sake 🤷‍♀️

[@fearlessrose6608]

What if ideas: If Peril WAS part rainwing If Sunny had more nightwing genes than Sandwing (ex: having black scales) If Peril didn’t rescue/free Scarlet If the dragonets didn’t run away If Webs got an icewing instead of a rainwing egg (not sure how, maybe from another talon?)

[@lauriejohnson7659]

Idk, but I always feel like, kinda like skywings have fire scales, icewings have frost scales, so I always wonder what would happen when a frost scale and fire scale fought against each other

[@DragonGirl104]

I imagine they'd cancel each other out

[@Why-fz1gh]

Yeah frostbreath numbs Peril’s scales, so there would probably be a lot of smoke and then a normal fight

[@Does_it_matter_anymore]

Idea: What if Qibli accepted Darkstalker’s offer? (In book 10, Darkstalker offered Qibli to become an animus, but he couldn’t do anything to Darkstalker with it, and Darkstalker basically controlled all of it.)

[@moonshadow121]

Woo 100th like! This might actually be one of my favorite “What Ifs”. I fully expected that peril would die when scarlet came back, I just didn’t know how. This begs the question, how will they end the war now? With blister having the monopoly on allies, they’re really going to need anemones powers.

[@Lazyboissryserena]

[@user-eq2qz4wh4g]

Why didn’t peril burn the venom out of herself like she did Clay? Also please do a what if darkstalker had only mind reading not prophecy

What if Turtle,Moon, and Qibli didn’t arrive in time to save Winter? 5. What if Moon had the same powers of Clearsight? 6. What if the dragonets didn’t escape the volcano in time?

[@fusselcrafterhd2681]

"What if Orca defeated Coral" or something along those lines would be awesome. I really like Orca and speculate a lot about how she was like. We only heard things about her from the dragons who stood against her, yet there are a lot of things that suggest that she MIGHT have been a very different and maybe even misunderstood dragon. Your What If videos are really awesome and I'd like to see what you'd come up with for such an interesting scenario.

That was VERY dramatic... I love it. I kinda wish Peril hadn't died tho- Cuz she had saved Clay by burning out the venom, so I'm kinda confused as to how it didn't work for her- Either way, I absolutely love this :> Here's some more ideas I thought of!: What if Qibli accepted Darkstalker's offer? What if Tsunami was an animus? What if the LeafWings won the tree wars? What if Clearsight never traveled to the lost continent? What if Sundew joined the SapWings? What if Foeslayer was never captured? What if Darkstalker never killed Arctic? What if the NightWings and RainWings went to war with each other? What if Moon was raised on the volcano? What if the SkyWings never killed their animus dragons? What if Icicle succeeded in killing Glory? What if Winter killed Glory? Or, What if Winter and Icicle switched places? What if Winter was chosen to go to the lost continent instead of Lynx? What if Blaze won the war? What if Burn won the war? What if Blister won the war? What if Darkstalker had chosen to free Whiteout from her egg? What if the lost continent had animus dragons? What if Kinkajou was never protected from Darkstalker? What if Crystal became queen instead of Snowfall? What if Starflight grew up on the volcano? What if Peril was in the dragonet prophecy? What if Kestrel escaped with both of her dragonets? What if Viper never died? What if Fatespeaker could read minds and/or see the future? What if the NightWings had managed to capture Tsunami? What if Deathbringer had killed Glory? What if Fathom had killed Albatross earlier? What if Scarlet won instead of Ruby/Tourmaline? What if Chameleon was never banished? What if Cricket could be controlled by Wasp? What if Sequoia and Hawthorn figured out how to use the breath of evil? What if the NightWings never left their first kingdom? What if Whiteout and Darkstalker switched roles? What if Peril wasn't a firescales? What if Glory hit Peril with her venom instead of Scarlet?

That was SO AWESOME OH MY GOODNESS! It does bring up an interesting point, though. If in the actual series, Peril burned the venom out of clay, could that mean that she might have been able to burn the venom out of herself? And then what would happen? It would be super cool to see peril take over, hand the throne to Queen Scarlet, be betrayed, and then be a little bit broken after she killed queen Scarlet for her betrayal. Maybe she would rethink the situation with clay, the only other dragon who had accepted her. But anyways, this was such a good what if and I really enjoyed it.
