The Rising

The Rising is the first in a series about Wings of Fire. It takes place around 5022 A.S, and follows many deceased dragons, such as Clearsight, as they are brought back to life, and try to figure out what is going on. I've only read up to the Lost Continent, so I'm going to assume that Wasp is dead and Lady Jewel is the queen.
== Prologue ==
Powerclaws huddled in his tree-hole in the rainforest. He was writing his next enchantment. There! Done! He stood up, and prepared to read it aloud. He grasped the hastily woven necklace of willow branches, and spoke the words of the enchantment: "Enchant this necklace to give the wearer the ability to bring any dragon they wish back from the dead". He felt a rush of power as he put it on! Imagine the extent of his ability now! He knew instantly how to work the necklace. He decided to experiment with a dragon who wouldn't hurt him. "Starseer" he said. Swirling leaves filled the hole. Suddenly, standing in front of him was a beautiful female NightWing. She lifted her claws in amazement. Powerclaws couldn't believe his eyes! Starseer stood in front of him! Alive! He embraced his formerly dead girlfriend. He now knew what to do. "What happened?" said Starseer, still confused. "You were killed by the falling tree." replied Powerclaws. "I brought you back." he wrapped his claws round the necklace. He knew exactly how to use this new power. He was going to bring back his heroes. Clearsight. Fathom. . Everyone who he'd always wanted to meet. He could do it. He could bring them back.
== Chapter 1 ==
Clearsight woke, standing in a savanna. She felt she should recognize this place, but she just couldn't remember it. In the distance, a large structure took up most of the land. What was this place? It was like deja vu! A dragon seemed to notice her. They flew over to where Clearsight was standing. The dragon was red, striped with black. Their tail ended in a barb, and their wings looked like dragonfly wings. "Who are you?" asked the dragon. "I'm Clearsight." said Clearsight. The strange dragon flinched. He seemed to think he was seeing things. "You're Clearsight?" he asked. Suddenly, a rush of visions came to Clearsight. This savanna- it was Pantala! But what happened to all the trees? And where were the BeetleWings and the LeafWings? The dragon in front of her seemed to still be in shock. Clearsight got his name from one of her visions; Beetle. That made no sense! Dragons weren't named things that tribes were! "Tell me, what happened to the trees? Where are the BeetleWings and the LeafWings?" she asked frantically. Then, the vision came. She saw a yellow and black dragon A HiveWing. The name jumped into her mind. This HiveWing was leading an army of HiveWings into battle with- oh no! LeafWings! This was a war Clearsight was witnessing! The vision changed. The HiveWing with the yellow and black- Queen Wasp- was talking to two other queens. The first was clearly a LeafWing- Queen Sequoia- and the second looked like a more advanced BeetleWing. The name of this dragon came to Clearsight's mind: Queen Monarch of the SilkWings. Queen Wasp was speaking. "This is the right thing to do!" she said. "It is written in the Book of Clearsight!" What is? wondered Clearsight, as the other queens seemed to think. "Alright." said Queen Monarch, seeming resigned. "But only because I don't want to see any more SilkWing blood spilled." Queen Wasp looked to Queen Sequoia. Clearsight wondered what they were talking about. The Book of Clearsight didn't last till the end of time! It lasted nine hundred years into the future! "I want to see the Book of Clearsight." said Queen Sequoia, glaring at Queen Wasp. "I want to know if this is true." Queen Wasp laughed. "Only me and the librarian may see the Book!" she said. Clearsight decided she didn't like this Queen Wasp. She seemed cruel. "Then I will not give you control over the LeafWings." said Queen Sequoia, standing. What? Is that what Queen Wasp had wanted? Clearsight snapped out of the vision, as Beetle seemed to regain his train of thought. "This isn't possible! You died thousands of years ago!" he said. 
"Never mind whats possible!" said Clearsight, more angrily than usual. "What happened to the LeafWings?" "The Tree Wars nearly drove the LeafWings to extinction." said Beetle. "But they survived. Currently, we- the HiveWings and the SilkWings, that is- we are letting the trees grow again, and letting LeafWings live in the hives." Okay. Not as bad as Clearsight had thought. Now, one more question needed answering.
"What year is it?" Clearsight asked. Beetle blinked. 
"5022." he said. That was two thousand years in the future. That meant- Fathom! Whiteout! Listener! Thoughtful! Indigo! All of Clearsight's friends... dead!
== Chapter 2 ==
Fathom woke in a room underwater. Were was he? He vaguely recognized it as his chamber in the Deep Palace. "Hello?" he shone his light-up scales. "Pearl? Indigo? Current?" he flashed. "Anyone?" He could hear someone coming. An adult female SeaWing swam in. Fathom didn't recognize her, but she had the royal wing patterns. "Excuse me, but-" before Fathom could finish, the strange dragoness's face contorted in fear. She tried to scream, but, obviously, she couldn't as they were underwater. "I'm not going to hurt you!" flashed Fathom, but the dragoness was still scared. A large blue female dragon wound with pearl ropes swam in. "Auklet, whats wro-" she caught sight of Fathom. "Who are you, and what are you doing in my palace?" she said. Fathom was feeling exasperated. How had he been forgotten? He hadn't been away from the Sea kingdom that long! "Who are you?" he asked, still curious. The female dragon- possibly related to Pearl, but Fathom didn't think he knew her- placed her hand on the first dragoness's shoulder. "I'm Coral," she said. What? "And this is Auklet, my youngest daughter." This made no sense! Where was Pearl? Fathom decided to ask. "Is Pearl still the queen?" he asked. Coral and Auklet exchanged glances.
"No." said Auklet, looking less scared now. "My sister Anemone is." Anemone? Fathom didn't know any Anemone! What was going on? "Can you take me to her?" he asked. Coral nodded, and swam into the corridors. Auklet and Fathom followed. Suddenly, Fathom had a thought. If Anemone was the queen, clearly Coral was her mother. But then how was Coral still alive? He decided to ask. "Were you the queen before Anemone?" he asked Coral. She looked up.
"Yes." she flashed back, and kept swimming. "But then, how are you alive?" asked Fathom.
"My oldest living daughter and her friends changed the tribe ways. Now challengers don't kill the queen." answered Coral, as they entered the throne room. A pinkish SeaWing was sitting on the throne. She stood, and swam towards Fathom. "Mother, who's this?" said the pinkish dragon, who Fathom assumed was Queen Anemone. "This is Fathom." said Coral, as Fathom swam forward. Queen Anemone blinked. She seemed obviously confused. "How? He was Darkstalker's friend! How is he even alive?" Wait. Was? Fathom began to suspect something horrible. "What year is it?" he asked. Anemone, Auklet and Coral exchanged glances. Then, Anemone looked sadly at Fathom. "5022." she said. 5022? That was years in the future! That meant- Indigo! Clearpool! Cowrie! Ripple! Pearl! Whiteout! Everyone Fathom knew... gone!
== Chapter 3 ==
Clearsight stood in shock, as Beetle flew back to the other soldiers. Her dragonets? Fathom? Her husbands? All- gone. She looked over to where the largest structure she could see towered into the sky. -Hives- her mind said. -Where the HiveWings live. That's Jewel Hive, the current capital. That's where the queen lives-
