(A/N) This is my new story, it is called Dying light please read and review and enjoy. This story is from Spyros perspective. It takes few ideas from James Cameron's Avatar such as dragon avatars and fighting off human encroachment. Takes place after The Rise of A Hero so please read that first . The story will be told in two separate perspectives.
"Incredible! This planet has went from uninhabitable to habitable in a few hours! Something big must have happened!" a lead scientist said.
"Show me." I said
He brought the graphs and pictures of the planet before and after its massive changes. The amount of life that had developed in the past few hours was impossible! This planet, A31T12, was just a hunk of rock with punishing temperatures and little water, how did it undergo millena of changes in few hours?
"Roger, contact the board, its time we paid A31T12 a visit." I said.
The planet was ten light years away, we could travel as fast as light.
Dying light.
Ten years ago today, I saved the world from the clutches of Malefor and Soul, now I had everything I wanted back then. A family, a loving mate, and a son. The Vanguard was still around but it was more symbolic than anything . They just tried to keep the peace and Cynder and I left two years ago , for there was no reason for us staying. Life was perfect, there was so much suffering and despair ten years ago, now everyone was happy.
"Hey dad , wheres mom at?" My son Sam asked.
"She is out hunting for us, I offered to go, but she wanted you and I to spend some time together." I said to him.
"Hey dad I have a question?"
"What is it son?" I said looking at him.
"Do you still miss grandfather?" Sam asked with a quizzical look.
"Sam, I still miss my father dearly. In the days after he died I fell into a deep depression. The world seemed distant and all I saw and heard was my father gasping for his last breath, and his body lying forever silent."
"What would happen if I died?" Sam asked.
"Son, I don't want to discuss what would happen if I lost you, I dont think I would be in a good state of mind. I love you dearly and I will let nothing happen to you." I said to Sam nuzzling him affectionately.
Hours passed and soon Cynder's black figure came flying into the horizon. We were still considered hatchlings we had a good ten years till adulthood. She flew into the mouth of our cave and behind he drug two rabbits and a squirrel. She met me in the middle of the cave and gave me a quick kiss.
"Hows our little ruffian doing?" she asked
"He 's doing good , he just fell asleep . I'm guessing he had a long day ." I said
"Well wake him up so he can eat." Cynder said smiling at me.
We ate dinner quickly and quietly , and soon after we went to bed.
Log 1 Apirl 17th 2056
"We have made it to A31T12, the planet its self looks like earth when you see it this close. We will reach the surface tonight to take some samples and set up outposts. This planet is rich in materials, so we've brought in mining companies to extract and secure this rare material that cant be found on earth. Along with us came the military, they are tasked here to defend us and assist the companies in securing their materials. They are also here to protect us from any hostile life forms on this planet, they've been told to shoot anything on sight. Well its time to head to the surface this is lead scientist Harper signing off."
Log 1 end .
A loud roar broke the silence of the night, Sam let out a terrified shriek.
"Charlie company escort the lead scientists and keep them safe!" A distant voice yelled.
"Stay put and be quiet , we don't know who those voices belong to." I said quietly.
We sat in the dark for what seemed like ages. Sam eyes darted quickly from left to right, he screwed his eyelids shut and buried his head into my flank.
"You check that cave." A voice said from the darkness.
A beam of light burned through the darkness and illuminated the cave. The wielder of the light was a tall ape looking creature. He had something in his arms, he put something into the bottom and aimed it at us .
"Sir I have three lifeforms. Permission to exterminate?" he said talking through a black box on his shoulder.
"Permission granted." The voice said coming from the black box.
I picked up Sam in my jaws and motioned for Cynder to run. We ran, I heard a click , then multiple loud booms. Cynder was well out of sight when when the weapon went off. A yell of pain ripped through the air. Warm blood seeped into my mouth , but I hadn't bitten him that hard. The repeating booms stopped, I turned around and faced my attacker and launched myself at him. I hooked my paws around his neck and sunk my teeth deep into his fleshy white neck, he squirmed in pain and fell to the ground, his eyes rolling into the back of his head.
I ran over to Sam who was holding his side, blood seeping out of the wound. He was gasping and tears freely rain down his face.
"I know baby I know, move your paws and let me see." I said to him trying to stay calm.
His breathing slowed down dramatically, his sobbing stopped. The blood drained from my face, I took a deep breath and put the side of my head to his chest. All I heard was the silence only death could bring. I picked up my sons body, tears began to fall from my eyes.
"Dont do this to me son, please wake up! I promised I wouldn't let anything happen to you! Please don't do this to me..." I said trailing off.
I buried my face into Sam's lifeless body. My mind wouldn't register what had just happened. We just talked this morning, he was carefree and lively. Now he was dead in a pool of his own blood, killed by an unknown life form.
"Wake up... please...Sam!" I said between sobs.
"Whoever you bastards are! I'll kill each and every one of you!" I yelled into the night.
