--------------------------

When Silverleaf and the others woke up, they were in a cage, rumbling along the gravel in the willows forest. We must be in Willowwing territory and- THREE MOONS! Silverleaf thought as a purple palace faded into view through the mist. Midnight's bringing us to queen Deadwood! As they were in the palace, all the guards glared at the prophecy dragons. "There she is." Phoenix pointed at the throne.

C- Estelle!

"Queen Deadwood."

L- Don't be mean to Khloe Kardashian, guys, call her by her real name.

Silverleaf turned her head to the Willowwing queen.

Queen Deadwood's scales were a blackish-brown, with dark green eyes. "Midnight. You redeemed yourself." Deadwood sighed, hopping off her throne and toward Midnight. Silverleaf looked into Deadwood's eyes. Deadwood was stunned at the sight of Midnight's necklace. "That necklace." Deadwood glared at Midnight. "That's SPRUCE'S!" Deadwood tore the necklace off of Midnight and placed it on her neck. Wow, Deadwood has a LOT of necklaces on her neck. Even ancient ones.

T- Clink... Clink... Tap, tap... (necklace noises)

Silverleaf thought. "I'm sorry, prophecy dragons. Midnight here has had some... HISTORY." Deadwood turned to Silverleaf and the others. "But now I can make her pay for what she did 7 years ago." Deadwood signaled her guards to round Midnight up.

(Crow and Tom make necklace noises)

"Anyway, she'll be in my dungeon for now. What are your names?" Deadwood unlocked the cage and let the dragons out. All the dragons said their names and Deadwood sent them to their rooms. "Who are you?" Deadwood finally set her eyes on Silverleaf. "I'm Silverleaf. Goldenleaf's daughter." Silverleaf said. "Ah. You must be the royal one." Deadwood signaled her guards to take her to her room. And, as it turned out, she shared a room with the others.

L- What a nice gesture... It'd be a shame if someone, you know, they broke out. Which, you know, couldn't happen.

J- Go on.

"I don't get it!" Phoenix shouted. "What?" Silverleaf asked. "When Deadwood came to me, I told her 'I'm Phoenix the Tigerwing/Spacewing' and then she goes: 'Ah. Interesting. You will come in handy.' and I think she's either gonna make me kill Midnight, or make me one of her guards or something! She might even kill ME!" Phoenix said in a panicked voice.

J- All in favor of killing the continuation so we can go home?

ALL- AYE!

"She said to ME that I might become USEFUL!! I don't wanna end up like Queen Glory when SHE got caught by the SKYWINGS!" Droplet shouted at the top of her lungs.

C- Godam- would you KEEP IT DOWN?

"She said to ME that I would be GREAT for her guards!" Fullmoon said as she scraped the wall. "She said that I would do great entertainment for her subjects! Ok so I might be a Spacewing but DO I LOOK LIKE A JOKE TO YOU????" Neptune shouted. "She said that she'd rather see Clay eat than me run!" Fawn hissed.

L- I don't think Deadwood's good at improv.

"She said that I could be her new fortune teller! I mean.. If that's a thing..." Nightbreaker sighed. "She said nothing to me!" Tidepool said. "She said that I could stay if I lit all the torches in the palace!" Hummingbird said.

T- I forgot who "Hummingbird" was.

L- The SkyWing.

C- There was a SkyWing?

"LIT ALL TORCHES?" Fullmoon shouted. "Yes?" Hummingbird asked. "Only one dragon has ever succeeded that." "Who? Peril?" Hummingbird asked sarcastically. "No. It wasn't a Skywing. It's a Willowwing." Fullmoon said. "How come this is so important? Can't Deadwood just light them up herself?" Neptune asked. "No. Deadwood was born with no fire. Even if you heat her up to the top notch, she can't breathe fire. She puts torches in the hardest places to light. No guard is allowed to light them because of their patrols and the Willowwing laws. 'NO DRAGON OF ANY OTHER ROLE CAN HAVE A DIFFERENT JOB' And a torch lighter is an actual job."

C- I'm so waiting for someone to say "Thrilling".

Fullmoon said. "Who completed it?" Asked Hummingbird. "Dusk. Also known as my sister." Fullmoon sighed. "How'd she do it?" Asked Silverleaf. "Dusk used her wings to lift her up and she used her padded claws to walk the walls and ceilings." Fullmoon explained, using her claws as if she was on the wall.

ALL- (singing) Spider-man, spider-man..

"Fullmoon!" A muffled voice echoed through the halls of the palace. "Who's that?" Phoenix unseathened her claws. "That sounds like Dusk." Fullmoon inched closer to the door. Then, a dark purple Willowwing with armor bursted through the door. "FULLMOON!" Dusk shouted. "DUSK!" Fullmoon hugged Dusk happily.

ALL- (singing) does whatever a spider can...

"Her majesty says that Midnight's execution starts in a few minutes. She requests you dragons to be there." Dusk said. All the dragons followed the Willowwing to the arena, where they sat down a few seats away from the queen.

J- (a la anyone) "Hey, isn't it getting a little bit crowded in here?"

"Good, you dragons have sense." Deadwood smiled. "Bring out Midnight." Deadwood said to Dusk as Dusk pulled a lever and the floor of the arena opened to a lava pit.

ALL (chanting)- FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!

"No, Dusk." Deadwood pushed the lever back up. "I want an arena battle."

"Phoenix." Deadwood said, glaring into Phoenix's eyes. "Come with me. You will be the one killing Midnight."

J- Called it!

"Ok, your majesty." Phoenix said as she walked along with Deadwood to the entrance of the arena. Oh no. I hope Phoenix doesn't get killed. Silverleaf thought. Then, Deadwood returned to her throne. "ALL WILLOWWINGS!" She announced. "WE HAVE RETRIEVED MIDNIGHT AND HAVE BROUGHT HER TO THIS ARENA! INSTEAD OF A FIERY DEATH, WE WILL MAKE ONE OF THE PROPHECY DRAGONS KILL HER! WELCOME THE ATTACKER: PHOENIX THE TIGERWING/SPACEWING!"

T- Lex, are they saying "slash?"

L- I'm not really sure...

Deadwood said as Phoenix walked out onto the arena. "NOW THE CHALLENGER: MIDNIGHT!" Deadwood said as Midnight came out with her wings chained shut. "FIGHT!" Deadwood said as Phoenix charged toward Midnight with no question.

ALL- (singing) IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!

L and C- DUH DUH DUH DUH

Then, a terrible fight went on, Phoenix attacked Midnight, Midnight springs back, claws at the ready.

L and C- DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH!

"GO PHOENIX, GO!" Cried the whole audience, including Silverleaf.

T- The whole audience? Phoenix has more secrets than she's let on!

Every time Midnight spat fire at Phoenix, Phoenix used her shield wings to block the attack.

J- Hey, that wasn't in the Dracopedia!

Phoenix blew fire all over MIdnight and Midnight fell to the ground. Phoenix clawed Midnight's throat harshly, until Midnight stopped breathing. Phoenix let go of Midnight, looking up at Deadwood.

T- (a la Phoenix) "Aaaaaall done!"

"PHOENIX HAS WON!" Deadwood cheered.
