Deathbringer's POV

A loud, monstrous roar filled the cave as a strange dragon with three tail and two dagger-like claws on each arm came charging at Glory. In the blink of an eye, Deathbringer placed himself infront of the dragon and drew his sliver dagger and parried the dragon's claw. Then, the dragon sliced off half of the dagger and the piece of sliver clunked uselessly on the ground and ice suddenly sprouted on the dragon. It charged again and would have murdered Deathbringer, if the other dragon that was sitting next to the charging beast hadn't stepped in and grapple it to the ground. Then, the 6 other strange-looking dragons, including Secret Ripper bought it swiftly to the ground. The dragon struggled viciously against the 7 onto of him as he tried to roll and hit home with his tail.

The dragon then screeched," You wouldn't be able to hide from me, Hibiscus! I will get you and I will kill you!"

"Please shut up, Amber-Eye," Secret-Ripper retorted, rolling his eyes.

"I will get y-" Amber-Eye screeched before the dragon that had grappled him bit into the neck of Amber-Eye.

Amber-Eye's struggled under the weight of the 7 dragons as he became more drowsy and sleepy. Soon, his eyes closed, his spikes fell and his breathing went down. The other dragon lifted Amber-Eye onto his back and walked back to the round table. Amber-Eye's crimson-red blood dripped down the dragon's back and the dragon moved to a jade throne, where he tossed Amber-Eye onto a smaller ruby throne right besides the main throne.

A dragonet popped her head out from behind the ruby throne, she looked like Amber-Eye but she was covered head to tail in fluff and had a very long fang on one side of her upper jaw that sticked out, and looked with mild concern in her turquoise eyes at Amber-Eye before scurrying over to the dragon on the Jade throne. Deathbringer noticed that Secret-Ripper sat on a turquoise throne on the dragon's right and the others moved into their thrones of Sapphire, Diamond, Jasper, Amber and Opal. Three dragons including Secret-Ripper sat on the right of the dragon on the jade throne and the other 3 sat on the left of Amber-Eye.

Glory was silently studying the dragons and her scales were a colour of dark blues and purple, but some of them had a green or white colouring, especially on her tail and back talons. He moved closer to her while keeping a watchful eye on Amber-Eye's sleeping form. Thorn was speechless from the events that had just transpired and her bodyguard stood closer to her.

"Uncle Victory, who is Hibiscus and why was Daddy, so mad at her," the dragonet asked curiously while pointing at Glory.

"Well, Hibiscus is the name for the first Queen of the Rainwings, if my memory serves true and I honestly have no idea as to why your father hates her" The dragon ( Victory Strike) responded with some dread creeping into his voice to the dragonet.

"Excuse me, but what just happened!" Glory interrupted the two as red suddenly spread across her scales.

"Oh, I am truely sorry for what my brother nearly did, for you see he was this condition where he becomes a savage and berserk killer at the mere sight or whiff of a rainwing. However, it was necessary to bring him as we are here to discuss things." The dragon smoothly stated calmly "Also, my name is Victory Strike of the Triple-Slasher, you met both my brother and Secret-Ripper, but I think that a more formal introduction is in order."

Glory POV

When the last words left Victory Strike's mouth, the other dragons stood up, except for Amber-Eye, and spoke.

" I am the king of the Grim, which is made up of all the tribes you see here and a few deserters of other tribes" Victory Strike explained and with a flick of the claws pointed to a large, dark purple dragon with slivery spikes and a triangular face.

" I am Queen Thunder-Claw of the Thunderhorns" Thunder-Claw stated before flickering her claw to the tiny, crimson red dragon on her right.

"I am King Master Mind of the Brain Hunters" Master Mind said before bowing and flicking his talon to the rock-grey dragon on his left.

"I am Queen Basalt of the Cavern Crashers" Basalt said with a concern look on a face as she eyed Amber-Eye.

" This is Amber Eye of the Triple-Slashers and the king of the Triple-Slashers" Victory Strike exclaimed while holding up Amber-Eye, then he flicked his tail to his left at a bright yellow and blue dragon with dragonfly like wings.

" Good day to you madam, I am King Singsong of the Amber Caster" Sing Song sang before pointing to the Black and Yellow dragon on his left.

" Hello, I am Queen Mind Breaker of the Death Serpents", Mind Breaker quietly stated before tapping Victory Strike with her stinger.

" However, the king of the World-Enders is late, which is why Amber-Eye wasn't chained up," Victory Strike explained before sitting down.

" And why is that the case,"Glory asked puzzled by the response and also curious about why the queens of the Triple-Slashers, Amber Caster, Camo Assasins, World-Enders and Brain Hunters.

" Well, you see the chains we use to properly contain Amber-Eye's Savage side are so heavy that only Earthquake could bring them here" Victory Strike said before the earth began to rumble," That must be Earthquake, finally."

Victory Strike got up and walked outside. The other dragons of the Grim, except the sleeping Amber-Eye followed suit, leaving Glory, Deathbringer and Thorn and her bodyguard. Glory decided to follow the dragons and went up the tunnel. Deathbringer followed hastily.

" So, why are you going up anyway, Glory," Deathbringer asked with a his smug face on.

"I am just curious about this Earthquake character, okay Deathbringer," Glory responded before stopping at the entrance of the cave to see the Grim dragons watching the ground. Glory also noticed the form of Snowfall and Coral being guided by Camo Assasins.

Then, the ground rumbled and split open at the base of the mountain , allowing chunks of rock and debris to fly everywhere and a massive, sapphire and jade with a large beak like object that cut a great chuck of rock out the surrounding mountains before it grabbed on to the mountain side and used it hand wings? To scale the mountain and in a few seconds, the dragon meet the Grim leaders and Glory in the eye. Silence claimed the movement, but Victory Strike broke the silence.

" Why are you late, Earthquake," Victory Strike yelled eyeing Earthquake down.

" That's Earthquake," Deathbringer asked surprise by the sheer size of the dragon. He made Darkstalker look like a day old dragonet.

" Sor-ry sir, forgive me for I had to change my mouth plating," Earthquake stuttered in fear and became a must light colour of blue and olive green.

"Fine, just bring the chains and tie up Amber-Eye, but if you are late again, then you will get punished for wasting our time," Victory Strike warned.

Earthquake nodded and he suddenly shrank till he was smaller that Victory Strike and quickly walked in to the cave. Snowfall and Coral landed at that moment with their mouths wide open in disbelief.

" What in the three moons was that .. creature," Coral said with a hint of fear in her voice and she pointed at the Grim dragons," what are you dragons."

Glory was surprised that she hadn't fainted yet. Then again Snowfall was speechless and her eyes widened when she noticed Master Mind and Mind Breaker and backed away while the two said dragons grinned sadistically when they saw her.

" Didn't know that the Icewing had any horrors stories besides the one about the very monster that they created," Master mind noted while facing Snowfall with a scowl.

Victory Strike quickly got in between the two and said with a sign, "Lets head back into cave."

Master mind snorted and quickly trotted into cave. The rest follow suit and vanish into the cave leaving Coral, Snowfall, Glory, Deathbringer and Coral and Snowfall's bodyguard alone.
