Chapter 2:The Mission
Spyro and Cynder were now flying in the air heading to the forbidden lands,otherwise known as evil nature grounds. While they were flying,Spyro noticed that Cynder was very quiet and wouldn't even look at him. "Whats wrong Cynder?" asked Spyro.
"I don't know what to do. I don't want to kill that egg" said Cynder.
Spyro didn't know what to say,he hated seeing his dragoness upset,so he got an idea. "We could hide it at another village where it couldn't be harmed" Spyro said.
Evil nature dragons were powerless when they weren't born on their home land. It was their land that gave them the powers they're known for,but there was a catch. The only way to be born with their powers,was to be born on forbidden lands,otherwise their powers would come late. Cynder looked at him with a smile, "I like that idea,we should put it with the peace lovers."
The peace lovers were a very gentle type of dragon,the only element they had was rainbow. "Good choice,no one would ever think to look there" said Spyro.
Cynder smiled,gave Spyro a peck on the cheek,then flew faster. When they finally got to the forbidden lands,they landed only to be in the middle of a surprise attack. When Cynder's foot touched the ground,a root came from under the grass and wrapped around her ankle with its thorns piercing into her flesh. She cried out for Spyro to come and help her. He hurried over to her in attempt to free her,when all of a sudden another thorny root came from the ground,wrapping itself on his belly,and pulling him to the grass.
"Spyro!" Cynder yelled.
She tried to rip the root on her ankle,but when she did,four more roots came and wrapped around her legs and tail. The two dragons then knew what was happening. They were going to be eaten alive by one of nature's biggest flowers. The flower is known as a kill trap. When a kill trap finds food,it will then wrap its roots around the victim,stabbing its thorns into the victim's body and suck its blood. While the plant is doing that,it's also pulling the victim under ground to finish it off. After the plant is done,it simply goes right back under the ground,and waits for its next meal.
"Spyro,I'm sinking into the ground!" Cynder yelled.
"Me too,we've got to get out of here" Spyro said. He could feel himself getting weaker due to loss of blood,he had to think fast. "I got it,Cynder,cover yourself with your wings." Spyro said.
Confused,Cynder did as ordered and covered herself. Spyro then concentrated all his powers and released twelve fire missiles from his mouth,all twelve fire missiles shooting in every direction,burning everything in its path. It was so bright,that both dragons had to close their eyes. The hidden plant burned and the dragons were free.
Spyro ran to Cynder and picked her up. "Cynder are you ok? Speak to me!"
Cynder coughed out some smoke from her lungs and said "Spyro,I'm not dieing you know." Spyro smirked and said "Come on we've wasted enough time already."
So he put Cynder back down and they flew to the palace of stone that was keeping the eggs. They figured that the two eggs would be at the palace under protection. The village was mainly like a rain forest with many plants around. It was best not to bother the plants because of the fact most of the plants were alive and poisonous. There were only two buildings in the village,and that was the school and the palace. When they got there,they saw some guards at the doors so they went up to the roof. There was no way they could get inside,so Spyro shot an earth blast to the roof,causing a small hole to appear. They both jumped in and landed on the stone floor. They were in a room filled with books,apparently they landed in a library.
"Hey you got everything set?" Asked a voice from the hall outside the library. The two dragons run to a huge bookshelf and hide. The voices came closer.
"Yeah I got everything ready" Said one voice.
"Good and don't forget to keep the vents heated." The voices then disappeared. The two dragons got out from behind the book shelf.
"Hey Spyro I have an idea,we can go in the vents and find which room the eggs are in." Spyro liked the idea. So Cynder rammed a vent open and went in with Spyro behind her.
"Which way Cynder?"
"This way come on!"
"How are you so sure?"
"I can smell them."
So Spyro followed Cynder in the vents,confident that she knew where they were going. "Spyro I found them." They were now in the ceiling,above a small nursery.
"Good now hurry up and get one,this place makes me nervous"
So Cynder jumped out of the vent and landed on the floor. She looked at the eggs wondering which one carried the girl. Spyro knew what she was doing and said "Just pick one already,besides you and I both know the boy would be so much cooler."
"In your dreams purple boy. What if we had a kid and it just so happened to be a girl?" Cynder smiled,knowing she had the upper hand.
Then Spyro joked "If we had a girl,then I would keep trying until we got a boy."
Cynder was going to say something until she heard foot steps coming to the door. "Hurry!" Spyro said.
Cynder grabbed one and threw it above her. Spyro threw his paws out and caught it,then slipped back into the vents. Cynder jumped up to the ceiling and dug her claws into the stone surface,slowly making her way to Spyro. Then at that moment a young evil nature dragon,about the age of nine came in. She was small and bony,by the looks of it she was most likely a servant girl. Most of the servant girls were in bad condition,very ill and weak. She was walking to the nest that was holding the eggs. Cynder with her claws still in the ceiling was slowly making her way to the vents. The one thing Cynder didn't know about an evil nature dragon was that they could hear a thousand times better than any ordinary dragon. When the servant girl came to the nest,she gasped seeing that one egg was missing. Fear striked the young dragon,she knew she'd be killed by the tribe if one egg was missing. She suddenly hears some thumping,very fast thumping. The sound was coming from above her. The thumping she was hearing was Cynder's heart beat. The servant girl smiled evilly,knowing that she found not only the thief,but some fresh meat too. Most evil nature dragons would sometimes eat the ones they killed,they were like cannibals. The servant girl leaps up high with her claws out and grabs a hold of Cynder's leg. Cynder screams in pain while she's holding onto Spyro's paws,trying to escape in the vent. The servant girl then screeched an ear-piercing sound from her mouth to call for help.
Evil nature dragons don't roar like a regular dragon does. Instead they screech and wail. Their screeches are extremely loud and can really give others a scare. They can also sometimes call or alert each other by screeching. Knowing this,Spyro's concern for Cynder grew,he knew others were coming now. Struggling to break free of the young dragon's grasp,Cynder lifts her tail blade and slices the servant's throat. The servant girl falls to the floor with her blood splattered on the ground. Not wasting any time,the two dragons then escaped back into the vents and ran. As soon as that happened,a tribe of evil nature dragons rushed into the room. They see the servant girl desperately licking her claws while bleeding on the floor,still breathing. Then they noticed that one egg was missing. Seeing this,Azera the leader of the tribe grabs the servant girl by the neck with her claws and pins her to the wall. The servant girl screeches in pain and trys to bite Azera. Azera only digs her claws in deeper and says "Oh dearest...You have failed me yet again Amy,and this time you will die."
"Please no!" Amy screamed. She started crying,begging for another chance. But Azera only lifts one of her paws and concentrated in her mind. Suddenly Amy begins to feel extreme pressure on her legs. She screams in pain as the pressure increases. Azera smiled with pleasure of the little girl's pain.
"That's right Amy,scream,feel the pain knowing of your failures of your duties. May this be the last time you will ever see light again" Said Azera. Amy 's legs then make a loud snap and were bending the wrong way. Azera takes her claws out of Amy's neck revealing four holes. Amy fell to the floor with blood pouring from her neck and mouth.
Azera started laughing. "You know whats funny Amy? Your not completely brain washed yet." Amy's eyes grew wide in fear.
"Mom please no I'm scared!" Amy cried when all of a sudden she couldn't see nor hear anymore. She was now bleeding from her eyes,nose and ears. Now too weak from blood loss,she falls on her face. Azera takes a blade from one of her workers and finishes her off. Azera looked at Amy in disgust and said "Stupid brat,can't even do one simple job for me. Guards I want you to search every vent and room in this building!" Azera yelled. The guards run out the hallway and start searching. "Zora get over here and clean this mess up!" Azera shouted.
Zora was Azera's second and oldest daughter,they hated each other so much that thay hardly even talked. Zora came to the room then saw her younger sister on the floor. She screamed in fear and then noticed the blood on her mother's claws.
"Quit your screaming and clean this mess up" Azera said.
"I'll kill you!" Zora yelled and leaped up high with her claws out and fangs bared. Then all of a sudden some thorny roots shot out from the ground and wrapped themselves tight on Zora's back legs and slammed her hard on the ground.
Azera laughed and said "I'm untouchable honey,so stop your nonsense and do as I tell you to." Azera makes the roots go back underground with her mind,and leaves the room. Zora did what her mother told her to,then went to her room crying.
Well that's it for now,hope you enjoyed.
