This is a WIP
==Chapter 1 (Ghetsis ) ==
Ghetsis had never seen Grievous so angry before. Ghetsis thought HE was supposed to be the angry one, just because he had darkness in him. This day proved him quite wrong, but he understood why. Grievous was pacing the room, smoke rising from his nostrils. He was almost stomping everywhere as if he could smash a boulder right now. They were at the old dragonet's cave, where the chosen 5 were raised only a few years ago. Hardly anyone entered in, so it had privacy. What they were about to do required concentration. He was unsure as to why he suddenly needed to do this, would Grievous gain anything? Ghetsis held the orb, which would allow him to speak to ghosts of dead dragons of whoever he wanted. This is what Grievous wanted.
"Are you...ready to speak? Grievous?" Ghetsis asked him. Grievous looked over, he was still angry, but it wasn't at Ghetsis. It only slightly faded when he turned to look.
"Yes. I am." He walked over and handed Ghetsis a list. The names of dragons in order: Queen Diamond, Queen Lagoon, Queen Vigilance, Allknowing, Snowflake, SnowFox. Mostly Queens he wanted to talk to, but it made sense. They all had one thing in common. They all did something awful in past. Ghetsis nodded and brought the orb on a stone holder, which was perfectly made for it. He looked at the list again to double check and nodded. He moved closer to the orb and whispered the names of the dragons. Smoke curled around the orb, and it took the shape of six dragons, and made them perfectly appear. They all looked surprised, as they were glowing slightly to show they were ghosts, and nothing more. They looked all alive, even though they were just ghosts. Ghetsis took a step back as Grievous moved forward, this was his time to talk.
"How did you?" Queen Vigilance started, but Ghetsis put one talon to his mouth to indicate no talking. She quickly stopped as soon as she saw him. Grievous was glancing at all of them, about to speak. Ghetsis slowly put his talon down, nodding. 
"I have summoned you as ghosts, to talk. I have words to speak with all of you, which aren't pleasant at all." Grievous growled. The rest kept still, not uttering a word, or a hiss. Grievous turned again, smoke still curling from his nostrils.
"Each of you, have kept a war going for over 2,000 years, and have contributed to the bloodshed for those years." Grievous hissed. He kept pacing back and forth in front of them.
"I will speak to each of you, and ALL will listen. That should be clear." Grievous said, he turned once again to face them all. All of the dragons looked at him, shocked beyond anything. Ghetsis had never been so afraid of what Grievous might say, he wasn't one for harsh words. At all. Only harsh if you made him mad, or hurt someone he cared about, however, all of these dragons did something bad, but Grievous took it personally. Ghetsis shivered slightly, he glad he wasn't being the one yelled at. He could think of words to say, but Ghetsis could feel Grievous' rage, it was unsettling. Grievous turned to stare at Allknowing.
"Why did you lie to Vigilance about Darkstalker? He was never going to kill her at first." Allknowing stared with her mouth open in shock.
"Yes, I know everything about all of you. Answer my question." Grievous hissed at Allknowing. She sat straight and kept her face forward as if he was acting like a drill sergeant, which wasn't far off at all Ghetsis thought.
"I. Clearsight took my job! My seer job! I was the Queen's top seer! I was not about to let a dragonet take my position like that! Not in a million years!" Allknowing bellowed. Grievous glared at her, while Vigilance looked shocked.
"You lied to me about Clearsight and Darkstalker? What did you lie to me about?" Vigilance asked glaring at Allknowing.
"I lied about Darkstalker coming to take your throne, he never wanted to do it until you sent an assassin. I thought he would be dead, but he protected himself better than I thought." Allknowing hissed. Vigilance continued to glare at her while Grievous turned to Vigilance.
"I only wanted you here to hear that. It was not actually your fault Darkstalker wanted to kill you. If you wish to stick around and hear the others, please say so." Grievous said to Vigilance, surprisingly calm. Vigilance nodded.
"I wish to stay and offer any information I can." She said calmly. Ghetsis nodded with satisfaction. At least one of the Queens was understanding and agreeable he thought. Grievous turned back to Allknowing.
"You were a single reason why the Night Kingdom fell. All because you wanted to keep your job." Grievous hissed at her. Allknowing tipped her wings and growled. She could no longer defend her actions. Nothing could justify them any longer. She should have known better as a seer, Ghetsis thought. Grievous turned to Snowflake and Snowfox.
"Then we have the both of you. Plotting to kill Arctic just because he loved Foeslayer and you wanted to be Queen? You caused the NightWing, IceWing war. Did you know that?" Grievous snapped as Snowfox. Both IceWings glared at him bravely.
"But Arctic killed 7 fellow IceWings just to have a single NightWing! How dare you defend his actions!" Snowfox growled.
"I did not defend his actions, I'm questioning yours. Don't change my words. That is unwise to do." Grievous hissed back at her. Ghetsis saw Snowfox turn her head, looking away from Grievous. These IceWings are about to act stubborn, Ghetsis thought.
"May I remind you that, you wanted the throne for yourself at the time, and that you hated the Royal IceWing family. So which is why you hated Arctic in the first place. Hating someone in your own tribe sounds professional." Ghetsis said to SnowFlake and Snowfox. They both glared at him while Diamond looked surprised, Vigilance looked shocked as well.
"So you plotted against me because you thought the royal family was basically annoying to you?" Diamond sneered. Grievous shot a glare at her.
"You're not any better. You didn't like the fact that Arctic really did love Foeslayer. But instead, you started the NightWing IceWing war, which by the way that anger and hatred is still going on. Not only did you do that, but you locked up Foeslayer for thousands of years, just to be killed many times by you and your tribe. That's awful." Grievous stated. Diamond shook herself and glared at him. All 3 of them caused a massive war that lasted thousands of years. They didn't even remotely feel bad for it, not from what Ghetsis could tell.
"Get these 3 away from me. If they don't feel sorry, I can't change that. They can feel that guilt build on their own time." Grievous growled. Ghetsis nodded, and whispered into the orb. Diamond, Snowflake, and Snowfox all disappeared into smokey whips into the air. Grievous turned to Lagoon, who hadn't said a word yet.
"You caused your brother to go insane, just because he didn't know he had magic back then. How could you possibly do that to him?" Grievous said curious and with slight irritation in his voice. Lagoon just kept an angry looking face as if she was already justified.
"He was mine to control. When you're negotiating with other tribes, you should have a show of power. Albatross was my power. He should have done his duty the right way." Lagoon sneered. Ghetsis frowned at her, and he saw Vigilance and even Allknowing make a look of disgust.
"Dragons are not things to control, you don't just do that.That's an awful thing to say." Ghetsis said sadly. Lagoon turned to stare at him. 
"What you have done is no better." Lagoon snapped. Ghetsis widened his eyes and Grievous looked surprised. 
"How would you know anything that I have done?" Ghetsis snapped at her, Lagoon barked a laugh at him. Vigilance and Allknowing arched their necks looking horrified at Lagoon. 
"It's because I know who you are, and who Grievous is, did you really think you could hide from an animus dragon like me?" Lagoon said. Ghetsis was horrified and staggered to the back wall hitting it. Grievous looked shocked, while Vigilance and Allknowing looked at Ghetsis with worried looks. 
"WHAT? WHO ARE YOU?" Grievous roared so loudly, Ghetsis thought the mountain might fall over. Lagoon disappeared in a wisp of smoke and wind could be heard outside the cave picking up. A loud boom shook the mountain. Ghetsis grabbed the orb and whispered into it again, Allknowing disappeared and Vigilance did too. 
"What's going on!?" She shouted. Ghetsis couldn't answer, he was at a loss for words. Grievous roared and ran to the front entrance of the cave, but something immediately blocked his way. It was like an entire shadow blocked the mountain suddenly. Grievous skidded to a halt just before the cave entrance. A large dragon was trying to make his way in through the cave entrance. His massive wings blocked the way, but he stopped and gazed at Grievous and Ghetsis. He couldn't breathe. Grievous looked horrified and surprised at the same time. The giant dragon in the cave entrance gave a glittering smile to them all. 
"Just the dragons I wanted to meet. Hello Grievous and Ghetsis." Darkstalker said.
==Chapter 2 (Jensen)==
Mountains don't just open up. Not in a split crack clear across the range. Not in a way where the only thing noticeable was a large opening and nothing else. Jensen knew it wasn't natural. The earthquake would have shaken all of Pyrrhia; not just the Jade Mountain area. Jensen swooped downward and landed near the entrance of the opening. There were jagged spikes that marked the opening and he placed himself on them. He gazed around, trying to spot what caused it to open. 
"Who...could have done this?" Jensen spoke softly to himself. He breathed out a small flame and saw how hollow the cave actually was on the inside. There were claw marks on the left side. Jensen moved slowly, and studied them. 
"They mark, dates?" He muttered, and touched them with his own talons. They were slightly deep, etched in the stone with the feeling of sorrow and anger. Someone was feeling vengeance. But how could he tell? The marks weren't just straight, they were at an angle slightly. Jensen noticed how the marks looked jagged. As if someone did the marks when they were upset or angry. Perhaps counting the days they were angry? Jensen shook his head. But who in the world we be trapped under a mountain like this? Jensen kept moving in the cave until he stepped on something metal. He heard a slight crack, and quickly stepped off of it. He breathed a small flame again, and peered with his snout down. Copper wires were twisted and rusted into the shape of an old bracelet. Jensen picked up half of it. It looked worn and old. Even if it hadn't been in rain, it was still rusted and easily snappable. He looked around, and put it back down. 
"This can't be. Not in a million years, this shouldn't be happening. There is no way. The Legends can't be true. The NightWing's just made up the story...Unless." Jensen said, turning his head toward the entrance of the cave. He needed to stop denying it. Something caused this cave to split open, something caused a slight earthquake. Someone was clearly down here, or used to be. Jensen shook himself and flew out the cave and into the light of the open sky again. 
"I have to warn them. Before it's too late." Jensen said as he took off as quickly as he could.
