Malefor's Redemption

What if instead of dying when sealed into the crystal core of the planet, Malefor was sent back in time to atone for his sins but was freed of his corruption in the process? Will he make the same mistakes or will he do the right thing?

Prologue: Waking up in the Past

Malefor's POV

I awoke with a throbbing headache...wait! If I'm dead...how do I have a headache? And why does my body seem...smaller? I walk over to a nearby puddle of water and a shocked gasp escape my lips. My scales are no longer a twisted purple and my eyes are no longer a demonic yellow, they're...sapphire again. How long was it since I've been able to see what I truly looked like? I look around and find myself in a forest, one that I no longer recognize...yet is also familiar at the same time. I then realize something, I started out my path into darkness in this very forest! I look around in a panic before I calm down.

"Okay, okay, calm down Malefor..." I stop when I realize how horrid that name sounds now...what was my original name?

"Come on, come on! Think what WAS your name?!" I snapped to myself as I bashed my head against a boulder until it crumbled.

"Geez, that hurts!" I clutch my head in pain as the world starts to spin.

I fall onto my side and look up at the sky and smile.

'I can fix everything. I no longer know my true name but I can make my name as that of a hero, like Spyro.' I think to myself and then I wonder how my descendant and my former puppet are doing now in the future? I shake the idea out of my head and get up and begin walking in some random direction and I jump when I see dragon shadows fly overhead and then I remember that here in the past, there are WAY more dragons than I'm used to. I smirk when I finally see a beach instead of a large forest and walk out, actually happy again in my life.

I walk towards the water and see fish swimming near the shore and in a flash I dive into the water a catch a good sized fish before I chew it to pieces and swallow. Suddenly I hear the sounds of screaming and I remember a village is nearby and I run towards it and see Apes attacking a dragon village. Those smelly greedy, slim-bags! I smirk as I realize I don't need them and I never will, not with the new path I'm going to walk.

Inhaling I get ready to launch a massive fireball at the lead Ape and when I exhale, it's not as big as I thought it would be but it still does the job and it fries him and I smirk before I'm surrounded.

"Well, this is gonna be fun." I say as I unsheathed my claws and let out a roar appropriate for my 5-year-old self and begin slicing and dicing the Apes.

I also remembered something...I only have my Fire element currently...
