Alright, I'm back. Dunno when this part will be finished, but it'll be longer (I think). I do have a new style of writing that I have used in my Resident Evil story, which will be used here. AKA, more detail, and some type of first person POV. So, as you know, some things in the preview may not come true, but at least two will.
Also, this idea for the 2nd part was given to me around chapter 7 in the first one, when I had no idea what to do for he rest of the trilogy. My friend came up to me and said 'Well, what would happen if Draco took over the entire world?' I went with that since it was a brilliant idea.
Disclaimer: I do now own Spyro.
Damn, not even the temples have been spared.
A lone dragon walked through a village. Or what was left of it. It was in ruins, and skeletons of the inhabitant's lay scattered across the 'streets'. Buildings were in shambles and debris laid all over, burned or just in splinters. The village had been leveled three weeks ago, but it still reeked of death and pure evil.
Despite the horror, the dragon pushed forward, trying not to look at the skeletons that seemed to stare blankly at him. The dragon was a silvery color with a large scar across his chest, near his heart. His horns and spikes were a golden color, and his wings were a silver color with a hint of gold. He had rips in the delicate membrane of the wing, and his amber eyes revealed suffering and pain. His tail had a crystal at the end with a dark purple liquid filling it, in which pulsed every so often.
He turned and headed to the destroyed temple, and sighed in pain. Eggs were either in pieces or just had giant holes in them. The dragon heard a sound from behind him, and he whirled around and pinned the thing on the ground, before releasing it with shock on his face.
"Koga, what are you doing here?" he asked as he glared at the figure, who was getting up. He was a grey-brown wolf with sparkling green eyes, and he was bigger than normal wolves for some reason. He didn't have a lot of muscle like the dragon, but he was lean and very swift.
"Ornlu….so you are alive. Dude, it's been five years, come home already. Larka's been worried sick about you, and I don't want to keep lying to her. I respect your reasons for leaving, but just let her know that your alive so she can stop faking her happiness." The wolf said in a rushed tone, but it held relief and worry in it as well.
"I…can't," Ornlu said as he looked away, "I don't want to hurt her, like last time. You saw what happened, and I have no control over it."
Koga looked at him intently, as if he was trying to get into his head. "Listen, your parents are dead, along with hers. No offense or anything, but you two looked after each other like siblings. And when you did that to her, she never blamed you. No one did. Larka's devastated, even though she won't admit it. Do us all a favor and come home, even for a day. I'm not saying this for me, but for her." Koga said, his eyes pleading him for him to come back.
Ornlu never thought he'd see Koga act like this. Normally, he was a smartass and always made comments for everything. These five years without him really did something, but he couldn't go back. He couldn't put anyone else in danger, or let them see his weakness. The darkness inside him put a lot of strain on his heart, and it was slowly killing him. Looking away bitterly, he wished that he could go back home, even for a day.
"I'm sorry Koga, but I can't." Ornlu replied with a heavy heart. "Go back and tell her that I'm alive, but I can't return until I get this out of my body. Just tell her to stop worrying, and that I'll be f-" he started as he put a claw up to his mouth and coughed up a lot of blood.
"What the…?" Koga exclaimed as he rushed to Ornlu's side as he continued coughing up more blood, until there was a small puddle there. Ornlu just panted afterward, his eyes beginning to roll into the back of his head.
It's getting worse, which means I have little time left to get this out of me. He thought as he steadied himself, still panting. The strain of the darkness is putting a massive toll on my heart, and I may not live through the week…
"Koga…now you see why…I cannot go back." Ornlu gasped as his chest faded into dull throbbing. It would soon strike again, and next time it would take over if it didn't kill him.
"Dude…what's happened to you?" Koga whispered as he saw his friend struggle to move. It seemed like only yesterday that he had left without even saying goodbye, only saying that he needed to do something alone. He looked perfectly healthy, but now that he saw him recovering from whatever struck him, he saw how fragile and weak he looked. His scales lost color and turned almost a pale white, and his eyes seemed to glaze over.
"I can't tell you. It's not personal or anything, but for everyone else's good." Ornlu replied with another sigh as his body shuddered involuntarily.
Koga suddenly was fed up with him. Whether he liked it or not, he was going to bring him back, and he hoped that being with Larka would help him. More memories of before he left filled Koga's head as he remembered how distant Ornlu had seemed before his departure. It was if he was….
"Ornlu, I need an answer: Are you fighting off the corruption?" Koga asked suddenly, taking Ornlu by surprise.
"….Of a sort." Ornlu replied after a moment. "It is a stronger form of it, and it takes over me at random points. It gives enough strain on my body to give me heart problems, as you saw. Koga…I'm dying from it. Unless I find a cure soon, I will die. Backtracking to home won't do much other than give me more pain, which will make it quicker. I can't bear to see Larka with any more grief on her. It's better for her not to see me like this." He explained, tears threatening to fall. He wished that his life would turn around other than just keep getting worse and worse.
Koga suddenly growled and walked up to Ornlu and dug his claws into him while looking him dead in the eyes. "If you had told us that instead of running off, we could've helped. You're a brother to us both, and we took an oath to stick together, but I guess you forgot. We took an oath to never tell lies, but you broke it. WE TOOK AN OATH TO HELP ONE ANOTHER, BUT YOU'RE JUST TOO DAMN STUBBORN!" he yelled in Ornlu's face, his eyes flaring with anger.
Ornlu was surprised. Koga never acted like this, and it made him feel guilty. But, he couldn't go back, not when he was putting lives in danger. "I can't, Koga. I just…can't." Ornlu said as he looked away once more.
That response was apparently the wrong thing to say, since Koga slowly raked his claws across his legs, making him wince in pain. "Well, if you're not going to come willingly…I'm going to drag your ass back. I promised Larka I would bring you back, and I can't bear to see her cry anymore when there is something I can do about it." Koga growled menacingly as he pulled Ornlu, who sighed while looking up at the cloudy sky.
It may have been the trick of the light, or his eyes giving out on him, but he could've sworn he saw a bright light the resembled a comet land near the mountain range nearby.
Intro End. Real chapters will be longer, and hopefully more descriptive. Blah…Blah, Blah…Blah. Also, this will be more serious and less humor.
