Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Characters in Spyro, but the ideas in this story are all mine

The portal closed, where moments before nothing was there, a humanoid figure stood. Clad in a black robe and cloak, a hood obscuring his face, and upon his back to pitch black swords, and from where this figure stood the grass began to die blackening in a slowly expanding circle.

Upon looking down at the dying plants beneath his feet the figure sighed slightly and then proceeded to walk through the forest in which he had materialized, walking quickly so as to cause less damage to the life around him.

The figure had been walking for an hour when the attack occurred – a surviving ape from Malefor's army had seen the creature walking through the woods and being of little intelligence attacked-as the assailant jumped from the tree in which it was hiding the stranger merely lifted a hand and a beam of dark energy struck the ape in the chest. Already dead before it hit the floor the ape within seconds became a skeleton and a minute later even the bones had turned to a black dust. The stranger saw none of this as he continued walking, the dead assailant of no concern to him as he increased his pace.
