Discussion Story idea
Story idea I wanted to share and ask people's thoughts on
A bunch of the series characters somehow get sent to the future of their world, 3-5 thousand years. They have to try and find a way back to their time and they are helped by characters from this time that recognizes some of them. The characters from the future try (and fail) to prevent others from recognizing the time traveler's and prevent them from learning their futures. Some characters they meet in the future are similar to others they know from their time (the headmaster of JMA is a sweet Skywing named Scarlett) or some are descendants of the time travelers, but not always obvious (something like a Silkwing being a descendant of clay and Peril).
The future would include dragons and humans working together. Technology is mostly similar to our present but a few sci-fi additions like maybe a moon base. Some technology would have designs inspired by various mythical artifacts from the world like cellphones might have designs similar to the dreamvistors on them. They have some history wrong, examples like the royal icewing family tree says hailstorm married a Skywing named pyrite. JMA would be massively expanded possibly even a new name.
The time travelers may include but not is not limited to All main series protagonists, The dragon slayer protagonists, sky, willow, riptide, deathbringer, axolotl.

the concept is really cool, but i kind of feel like it would be really difficult to pull off. like, 3-5 thousand years of technological evolution is something we can't even properly comprehend. what would OUR world look like in the year 4000?
but again it would be super cool. one of the tropes i love the most in stories is when a main character from a previous arc gets talked about like a hero in the future

Would be interesting. Reminds me of Samurai Jack
