The Skyfall - Fanfiction

==Prologue==
5,012 AS, Aether
"It's finally finished." The EtherWing steps back.
His assistant walks around the machine. "Are you sure it'll work?" He says skeptically.
"After twenty years of work? It has to," the EtherWing says.
The assistant turns to him. "But how do you know it'll work?"
"Look, Krios." The scientist says. "The queen hired me for a reason. I can't mess up again!"
Krios sighs. "Fine," he says. "Who's testing it this time?"
"You'll see," the scientist says. He yells to his other assistants. "Bring the dragonets!"
Krios stares in shock. "Dragonets?!" He yells. "You can't test it on dragonets!"
The scientist growls. "I can, and I will. Unless you want to try it?"
Krios swallows. "Everyone who has gone in has died," he says.
"Exactly why you should let me test it on dragonets, before I throw you in MYSELF!" The scientist shouts.
He exhales, making no effort to be quiet. "Now, where were we?" He says.
Krios lifts a talon to answer.
"It was a rhetorical question, Krios." the scientist says annoyedly. "Finally. They're back with the dragonets."
He sets the five sleeping dragonets down in the machine. He whispers a date under his breath.
Krios listens intently. "Pre-scorching?" He says. "Why so early?"
The scientist chuckles. "So they can win the Pyrrhian war for the EtherWings."
"Sir, the outcome of that could be disasterous!" Krios exclaims. "We have no idea what could happen."
"What will happen," the scientist says,"Is we will be out of this Underworld of a dimension."
"I guess you're right," Krios says. "Turn it on."
The scientist pushes the start button. The machine starts to vibrate, then shake. Sparks flew out from between metal plates.
"It's gonna blow!" Krios yells, wide-eyed.
Everyone scrambles to get out of the lab. Dragons clamber over each other, desperate to escape.
Alarms go off, adding to the chaos. The machine continues to shake.
Then, the lab explodes. Everything is blown to pieces. Miraculously, all the EtherWings made it out.
Krios stands up, and surveys the damage. He lets out a gasp of surprise.
The time machine is gone.
==Chapter 1; The Dragonets==
726 BS, EtherWing Palace
Aurora ran across her room. Various objects were scattered around the floor.
Sunset walked into the room. “Come on! What’s taking you so long?
Aurora aggressively pulled open another drawer. “I can’t find my starstone!” She yelled.
"Can't you use something else?" Sunset looked around the room.
Aurora slowed down. "Sunset, you know starstone's magic are stronger than other gems," she said.
Nix snuck into the room. "Looking for this?" She smirked while pulling Aurora's starstone from underneath her wing.
"Nix!" Aurora yelled. "You know I can't lose this!" She grabbed the dark purple gemstone from Nix's talons.
Aurora continued to yell at Nix. Sunset quickly cleaned up the mess.
"Come on!" Sunset pulled Aurora and Nix into the hallway.
Aurora looked back at Nix and said,"You still didn't have to do that."
That walked down the old stone hallway. Colorful tapestries showed important parts of EtherWing history.
Atlas, the dragonets' adoptive father/guardian, paced at the end of the hall. He looked up and saw the dragonets.
"You actually came! I see you found your starstone, Aurora," he said.
Aurora smiled. "Yeah! Turns out Nix had it the whole time." She nudged Nix with her wing.
"Nix, you have to stop taking things!" Atlas said.
Nix sighed."It's fun messing with Aurora though!" She said.
"Anyway," Atlas said. "You're meeting Queen Nemesis today!"
"Really!?" Sunset said.
Atlas nodded. "Really," he said. He turned towards the throne room. "Come on!" He said.
The three dragonets followed their guardian into the throne room. The walls, unlike the rest of the wing, were white marble with gold swirls in them.
Queen Nemesis sat on a gold throne. Blue silk was draped over her horns and wings.
"Atlas," she said. "I see you brought your dragonets."
Atlas and the dragonets bowed. "Yes, my queen," Atlas said.
"And it's their sixth birthday, I presume?" Nemesis said.
"Just like you asked", Atlas responded.
Nemesis smirked."Good," she said. "You are dismissed."
Atlas turned to leave the room. The heavy doors closed behind him.
Nemesis turned to the dragonets."You may rise, she said."
Aurora, Nix, and Sunset slowly stood up. They exchanged glances. None if them have ever met the queen before.
Nemesis walked around the dragonets. "A StarWing, a SleetWing, and a BlazeWing," she said. "What an odd group."
Aurora glanced at the doors. Could I make a run for it? She thought.
Nemesis continued. "Now, you all know about the war with the rest of the tribes," she said.
"What about it?" Sunset asked.
"Well, the EtherWings are losing heavily. That. Can't. Happen." Nemesis said.
"What does that have to do with us?" Aurora said.
Nemesis stopped. "That's where you come in," she said. "I assume you were hatched at midnight?"
Aurora shifted uncomfortably. "Yeah, why?" She asked.
"I need you to predict the enemy's next move," Nemesis said.
"What about me and Sunset?" Nix said. "What will we do?"
"Nix, I need you to spy on the IceWings," Nemesis said. "Sunset will strategize battle plans."
Nix stood up straighter. "Got it, uh,"
"Your majesty," Nemesis finished. "Now, Sunset, find General Thanatos. Nix, go to the courtyard. Aurora, stay with me."
Nix said,"We understand, your majesty."
"Good," Nemesis said. "Now go!"
As the doors closed behind her friends, Aurora thought.
What is Nemesis actually planning?
