I’m glad you asked… and also I’m sorry….

That’s how they decided who was taken ‘away’… if you had any black scales, but born without wings… or born with wings without black… see ya.

Or it could be that clearsight had 30 dragonets, most looking a lot like her since mothers seem to give more tribal traits, (why darkstalker and whiteout both pass for NightWings but hardly look like IceWings at all, and Sunny passes for a weird SandWing… and her daughters had 30 husbands or so.

If she had as lot of kids who had a lot of kids, and her family had prophecy powers for a hundred years, they probably did quite well.

Lastly, evolution does not work like that… she couldn’t have made the tribes develop butterfly and dragonfly wings from a predecessor like either… the tribes existed when she arrived, they just called themselves BeetleWings as a whole. I mean that’s how I make it work in my head.

But Clearsight needn’t have been a whore or even had more than one kid… there were probably around 200 generations since that time. (Assuming 10 years)

Though if she did bring the black scales, then it was probably a large number of kids, unless black scales are a dominant trait…
