A/N: Well this is chapter one of The Legend of Inferno: Guardian of the purple dragon. This is also the first part to my TLOI (The Legend Of Inferno) series which is Inferno's POV of my version of the three LOS games. This one based off of TLOS:ANB (the first game) but enough as I might be giving away info about the story if I continue.
sometimes we may find hope in the ones that made us lose it.
Two adult black dragons were flying to their target, I was on the left and Cynder was on the right. We where heading to a city that Cynder's master had sent us to destroy, I once also called Cynder's master, master but that was years ago. "So Cynder where shall we begin our attack on the city?" I asked. "Well Inferno as always you seem eager to fight and I will take the right side you take the left." said Cynder, her glowing yellow eyes turning a demonic red at the thought of all the lives we where going to take. "Indeed and when we succeed master shall reward us greatly." I said, my eyes also turning from their corrupted yellow to a demonic red but for a different reason. It was only a few minutes before we reached the city and attacked. "For my master!" I yelled in an evil tone of voice, I was a great actor. After the usual ten minutes of fighting me and Cynder left the, now annihilated, city and we headed back to her base at concurrent skies.
When we got back several apes greeted us with thing like "I trust that your mission was a success generals." As with every mission that we have gone on. We went into our room, as one thing that corruption couldn't change was a twins instinct to sleep near their other twin. "Well we will be going to sleep soon so I suggest that you take care of anything that you have to do now." said Cynder. "I only have one thing to check on so I shall be back Cynder." I said before teleporting away, The element of darkness was always a strong element. I finished my teleport and found myself in an ancient temple. I used dark magic to remove what had happened to me, as I broke free of my corruption years ago and now just used the form to keep an eye on Cynder, and asked "Ignitus are you here?" to thin air. "Yes young dragon I am here and no I have not found any sign of the purple dragon so good-bye for now." said Ignitus and to that I used the spell that had changed my appearance when I was corrupted and teleported away. When I returned I heard, So Inferno was everything alright at your base or did you go somewhere else? in my head and new that Cynder was the one to ask it. "Everything is still going perfect at my base Cynder." I said as I walked in the room, there was no point in using my mental link when I could safely say it in person. After that me and Cynder layed down and curled up into each other, without realizing it as it was natural.
The next morning
I awoke with a feeling that I would not return for a little while during my next visit to Ignitus to see if the purple dragon had returned. "Well Cyder I will take a break for the day." I said after Cynder awoke. "Fine by me but will master agree?" asked Cynder. "I know that he does not care as remember that he does not know that I am once again his servant." I said, I was lieing. "Fine I guess but when will you tell master?" asked Cynder. "I will tell master when he returns to the dragon realms." I said and then teleported off.
When I got back to the temple and removed the spell I walked off to where I had seen Ignitus going and heard him say "You're actually alive." in a slightly surprised voice. After a few moments, where Ignitus was telling the purple dragon, Spyro, who he was and what Spyro was destined for, I walked out and Ignitus turned and took a defensive stance. "Wow Ignitus even after six years my precence unnerves you." I said in a slightly joking kind of way. "To be fair you still are feared by most villages and cities." said Ignitus. "Wait who are you?" asked Spyro. "While I can't answer with my whole story I am Inferno." I said then I randomly teleported out as this was getting boring. When I made it back to Cynder's base, and got back to our room, I found a note written in ancient draconic, knowing ancient draconic, I then read it and found out that Cynder had to go on a mission and wouldn't be back for a while so I left.
After getting back I just waited for Ignitus to finish telling the story of what happened years ago. When Ignitus talked about my twin Cynder I had to go and kill off several random enemies to keep from killing him right then and there. After his seventh or so time talking I knew that I hated that dragonfly, Sparx, with more than just a simple passion. "Wait we're actually going back into the temple, well in that case count me in." I said after hearing Ignitus agree to show Spyro the temple, as I had never been inside the main temple so this was going to be new to me. After a little walking we came to a door. sparx said "couldn't we just go back with the flowers and other fun stuff." I laughed when Sparx thought that flowers where fun and I said "What to you is fun is not what I think is fun." with an evil smile that sent Sparx flying over to Spyro. Ignitus then told Spyro to go through a tunnel and fix the placement of two statues. "Well count me out." said Sparx but when Spyro started leaving he quickly flew over to him and followed. Oh good Sparx is still following Spyro so I can have a break from him. I thought as I watched Sparx continue to follow Spyro. "I am glad that Sparx left with him as that nat is annoying." I said with a hint of sarcasm but it was because nat was not the right word. "Yes I must agree that Sparx can get a little annoying at time." said Ignitus. I just laughed for a few seconds before laying down and resting, without Cynder nearby I was not going to get any real sleep. After a few minutes the doors opened and Spyro came out. "Well you either work fast or I managed to pass out while waiting." I said in an evil kind of way, I still had yet to shake that habit. When Spyro once more left I just layed down and rested, I had been using way to much of my dark magic for the past few weeks. After several more minutes I got up as Spyro came in through a spinning door. "Neat entrance Spyro." I said in a half evil, half happy voice. "Didn't Ignitus just say that?" asked Spyro as we all went into the temple. "Yes he did but I felt like saying it as well." I said, for once, in a bored tone of voice, instead of my habit of using an evil tone. "Spyro you know after hearing this guys most common tone of voice I don't trust him." said Sparx. "You need to give him a chance." said Spyro.
As we walked past a cave I heard the, ever so familiar, sound of apes and readied myself for an attack. This time I decided to follow spyro while hiding in the shadows, I was beginning to feel my blood-lust and knew that I needed to kill something soon. After a moment of peace I saw three apes come down the corridor and jump down into the room we where in so while Spyro dealt with one of them I attacked the other two, unfortunately they didn't last as long as I had hoped as I simply torched both of them. "The idiots." I said happily, as we had just walked into a room with apes sleeping next to Dynamite. "Indeed Inferno so shall we blow this place." said Spyro as he tried to keep from laughing at the ape's stupidity. "Sure and I give you the honor of killing them." I said in a way that clearly made Spyro consider just how dedicated I was to helping him, As I was corrupted at one point I was able to easily fake how loyal I seemed. "With pleasure." said Spyro as he lit the fuse and we watched the explosion.
After we got back some apes jumped out and one, that I recognized, started taunting Ignitus before looking over and spotting me. "Well Inferno I see that you are working for the losing team now." said the ape. "Your point Fireclaw after all a dragon only has one chance at life and so I wanted to not be like my sister but enough of that now you die." I said as I jumped at Fireclaw and slammed him to the ground. "Any last words." I asked, as I had my tail blade against his throat. "You are a disgrace to your master." said Fireclaw. "He's not my master anymore." I said before slitting Fireclaw's throat and jumping back to my place beside Spyro, who was wise enough not to ask what that was all about. After a brief talk and Ignitus using a fire furry, me, Spyro, and Sparx went back to battle. I quickly found an ape sneaking up on Spyro but all Spyro saw of him was a lifeless body that had signs of a recent poisoning. "This is fun and all but I miss the screams of terror that I use to hear from my victims." I said before I even realized that I was talking. "Well until next time Spyro so good-bye." I said before teleporting out and going back to Cynder's base.
When I got back to the base, in my corrupted form, I was attacked. "Now why didn't I see that coming?" I asked. "Because you expected me to be weak and sad but enough about that as I am sure that you will be heading back soon." said Cynder before she stabbed me in the chest. I didn't feel any pain and just got back up as the wound healed. "Well it was neat to see that you worried about me." I said before teleporting back.
When I got back to the temple I was in awe at how big it actually was and followed Spyro into the pool of vision room. I laughed hard after seeing Ignitus whack Sparx out-of-the-way but stopped and followed him. When I entered the next room I looked up at the statue and growls fiercely. "What was that about Inferno?" asked Spyro. "Well I won't say as it is because of something from my past so I don't wish to speak of it." I said, then Sparx flew up to my face. "Why can't you tell us eh, is it something that relates to you being evi- ahh" said Sparx, I cut him off before he could finish by snapping my jaws closed inches from his wing. After that it was back to killing. When we got outside I decided to screw with Spyro a little, I knew how to fly, and jumped off the ledge. "Inferno!" Screamed Spyro as I heard him running over to the ledge. "Yea Spyro." I said after silently landing behind him. Spyro quickly turned around and froze from me being fine. "What... but... how." said Spyro. "I am a dragon I can fly." I said and then walked off to a better place to sit, I felt very uncomfortable without Cynder just as she did without me. After a little talk Ignitus and Spyro started heading to the training room so I followed. "Good I will finally get rid of that statue at least for a little while." I said. "What do you mean Inferno?" asked Spyro. "You will just have to see." I answered.
I watched with amusement as Spyro watched the statue go into the ground and a floor close up over it. "See what I mean." I said. "Yes and Wow." is all Spyro managed to say before Ignitus started talking, I just sat out of range of the magic that would allow the dummies to appear because I feared that I might bring a deadlier enemy out do to my corruption. I eventually got bored and teleported back to Cynder. When I got back Cynder had our servants cook us a great meal so I went into the kitchen area and ate a roasted deer or two. "I see that you haven't eaten all day." said Cynder in her evil voice. "No I haven't as I have been very busy keeping my base in top shape." I said. After eating I teleported back and watched, without interest, as Spyro trained. When I saw Spyro go to the center I knew what was coming and started paying more attention, furies are my favorite part of training. I loved watching as Spyro obliterated the enemy with a fire fury. "I'm on fire literally." said Spyro. "Indeed you are but I can best you with literally being on fire." I said in a mocking tone. "Prove it." said Spyro as he excepted the challenge. "Ok." I said, then my body became flames and I said "Told you." in a courageous voice. "Wow." said Spyro. we then ended our little conversation ad walked over to Ignitus. This time I ignored the statue but I still uncontrollably growled when I looked at it. suddenly I felt a strong pain in my left side and knew that Cynder had gotten hurt, Spyro decided not to ask. We walked into the pool room and Sparx flew over to the pool of visions and asked Ignitus why there was a pool in the temple. After a moment and explanation Sparx started asking Ignitus what he was thinking and so I decided to shut him up by whacking him into a wall. "Great we get to go to a frozen wasteland." I said after hearing that we where going to Dante's Freezer, I really didn't like the cold. After Ignitus had told Spyro that he could fly Sparx said "Spyro can't fly we should all know that." "Yea I have never flown before." said Spyro. I almost laughed when I heard that Spyro couldn't fly but I stopped after remembering that it took me and Cynder hours just to walk properly after our corruption. I then watched as Spyro learned how to fly. "Well see you later Spyro." I said before easily taking off and flying about ten feet off the ground then landing with ease. "Wow how long have you been flying?" asked Spyro. "That is something I would rather keep to myself also as a warning you may not be able to land so easily as I have been flying for years so it is easy for me." I said. We then all headed off to Dante's Freezer.
A/N: That was the first chapter. As you may have noticed I avoided Sparx speaking as much as possible because I hate him. Before anyone asks I am not just adding Inferno to the game I am also having scene that are never in the game such as the beginning of the schapter
