Chapter 2 : Arrival
Disclaimer ( i dont own any of the spyro characters, but the oc's i do own)
It was a very normal day for me, the blazing sun shining on me with a small breeze of wind. I looked at my smart watch and checked the temperature for the day. Todays temperature was going to be between 25-30 degrees Celsius. 'Shit, and I knew that wearing my jeans would be a problem.'
Sorry, let me introduce myself , my name is Silver and I'm your young typical teeanger that is trying to get a life somewhere else in this world. I'm fifteen years old and my life... isn't like all other teenagers. Why do I say this you ask ... Well, my mother died five years ago because she was going to work one day, until a terrorist group armed with RPGs, Snipers and Heavy Machine Guns, like M60s ect, attacked a large part of the area where my mother was. Lots of people died that day , and in that large pile of dead bodies, was my mother. My whole family was struck with anger, hate and sadness because of the incident. I ,on the other hand, had lost my shit five years ago because of her death. So, basically I had to live with my dick of a dad for the past five years. He doesn't even think that I'm his son, he just thinks that I'm his worst enemy. When he gets drunk, he usually loses all his shit because I was stabbed in the stomach by him with a kitchen knife and in the arm with a nail gun; he always loses his mind! The weirdest part about that, was that I didn't even die. I then learnt, that during my painful days with my so called dad, just gave me a bloodthirsty mind to see my father rotting on the floor with blood and gjts laying around him. (Ya that's creepy)
So one day, when he was drunk and tried to stab me with a knife, I then learnt by myself, how to defend and kill in a quick movement. So I angrily grabbed the knife from him and then stuck it into his chest and all that blood I always thought about that would come from him, just rushed out from his chest. At that young age, I was very emotional at what I saw , so I then tried to run as far away as I could because I was too scared to be near the police , until i stopped at the footsteps of an orphanage. The mothers of the orphanage found me unconscious by their doors and took me in with open and caring hearts. So all in all, my life was messed up completely.
I was walking along a sidewalk, that was along a very busy highway into town. I , unexpectedly, get some greetings from people , but I never reply to them. When other people walk past me, they think that I'm a monster who's about to kill them. Its probably my appearance to them: My very long dark brown hair that goes past my eyes , my eye colour usually looks bright red at a distance instead of brown, but I didn't even care about them, they can be scared if they want to, but they'll see me again some day or everyday.
The temperature was getting hotter at the second, even though the season is getting closer too winter. 'I need to get to some shade quickly.' I then saw along the sidewalk , a very bushy tree that had a lot of shade to it, it looked like it was apart of pick nick park. "Perfect..." I speed walked towards the tree until I could feel the black shade of the tree . Sitting down near the bark of the tree, but also leaning slightly against the bark of the tree, but the bark felt like slime. "Uugh, what on earth? What is this, slim or something?" Standing up , but then going down onto one knee, I leaned my hand against the slimy and I could feel ... nothing? "Huh, that's weird. I've never seen or felt anything like th-" Before I could continue , I was being dragged into the slime by something on the inside of tree thing. "What the hell?! Somebody help me please, somebody he-" I couldn't finish my last sentence before I was absorbed or pulled into the slim. With one last look before I was pulled into the slim substance, nobody came to rescue me , not a single single person on sight.
DARK DREAM REALM
It felt like I was injected one thousand times all over my body, my eyes felt like they were duck taped closed by someone. With a bit of strength, I tried to open my eyes and I was then met with a very unusual site. Instead of a bunch of branches and leaves of the tree I rested by , was now sky with colours of black, grey and white. 'This is just weird.'
I stood up and looked at my feet to see that the ground was now made of a black and grey marbled stone, but this was actually a floating platform because...'Wait what?!' Running to the side of the platform, I looked over the edge and saw that it was... floating in midair. This whole place looked like one of those fantasy dream voids, where one special guy goes to sleep and then wakes up in a place like this . In the distance, I could see that there was a weird black flowing liquid that flowed around the void. "I've got to say, this place looks pretty cool."
"Do you really now?" I then turned around very quickly to were that creepy voice came from ... and shit this was like I was in a horror movie.
Standing in the centre of the platform , was dark-black mass that took up the shape of a 6 foot 2 person. This thing looked like it was a skeleton that was covered in dark flame, close to how you would picture Ghost Rider. I could see in its chest...A black heart that had connective veins that lead across its flowing body. Its eyes really gave me the creeps... They looked like the eye sockets of a skull, but they had a small white dot in the centre of the socket. One of its arms looked it extended from the shoulder up and the other was perfectly fine. "What the hell are you?!"
He seemed to be amused at my question.
"I would've known that you would ask that question, but my name isn't the main point over here, Silver."
My eyes widened, "Okay, how do you know my name? You haven't even seen me before." I don't know why, but he just smiled at me and in his mouth were just filled with dozens of sharp fangs, which looked very messed up... Looked like the mouth of a ragger tooth shark .
"Lets just say, darkness finds its way to others to find out a thing or two."
I just stared at him with a blank expression,"What...?"
"Don't worry about that now, Silver." He then stepped a bit closer too me, but i just took a small step back away from him. "Let me try ask you a question... How would you feel if, for argument sake, could rule... realms with an iron fist of power and mercy."
That question definitely caught me off guard, people don't ask each other those types of questions where I come from. "How the hell am I suppose to know that? Besides why would you say if I could rule realms?"
"Try and think about that Silver, all of your enemies begging on their knees for mercy so that you won't kill them. You can make other beings in other realms become slaves to do anything you desire... There are many things in this universe that you can do with the power of force, strength anger and hate" This is starting to get a bit creepy because the way he is trying to influence me into ruling 'realms' with an iron fist of power and that shit? This is just weird.
"Listen creepy guy, I just want to say something , why would you want me, out of all the people in the world, `me` to do this. I'm just a bloody teenager trying to get a life and you are just giving me crap that doesn't even exist!" This stuff that he is saying and offering too me, is starting to really piss me off.
The creature then put his shadowy hand on his face and sighed in annoyance.
"For a person like you to have a conversation with me, you really know when to disagree with someone, but I've only got one question for you...How would you feel to escape this useless life of yours."
"What do you mean?" I was actually getting really interested when he said that.
Then out of nowhere... the thing , with great speed, came up right infront of me. "This..."
In the blink of an eye , a long shadow arm was pierced through my upper torso area.I slowly looked up at that horrifying face,"W-W-Why?" Blood started pouring out of my mouthand nose and dripped to the floor. Everything around me started to become blurry and I then fell onto the ground hard. "Y-you son of a b-bitch, I -I'm going t-to get you f-for this."
"Don't worry Silver, you'll survive... just make sure that you make the right decisions with someone and know who you're dealing with or you'll most likely find yourself dead." That was all Silver could hear before he blacked out. The creature took hold of Silver in one hand ; behind him a purple-black portal opened ... and he then through Silver into it and the portal dissappeared leaving the black humanoid creature behind.
"That boy has a lot of hidden energy within himself, if Malefor is able to pursuad him to joining his side, the realms will no longer exist. Everything is going according to plan." He started laughing evilly and then the darkness covered the void.
WELL OF SOULS
Deep down in the Well of Souls, a secret cave was hidden behind a large debris of rocks that was still falling down opon the entrance. In the cave, a large amount of dark coloured gems or crystals were busy forming at a very fast ratel, it was like time was speeding up. The energy being released from them was in a form of a dark lightning aura, that kept on shooting out of the glass-like cover of the gems
Suddenly, a bright flash of light filled the cave. A few seconds later, the flash disappeared and left on the floor was the... almost lifeless body... of Silver. The poor human was laying face-first on the ground and looked most likely dead to anyone who could see him.
SILVER POV
I shot my eyes wide open and started coughing on my own breath, it felt like I was being drowned by a guy who was going on steroids . Trying to stand up, my legs felt like jelly and I started to go off balance slightly, but the feeling felt like I had no legs at all. "What the ... hell?"
Looking down at my chest, there was a huge and long scar that went over the area where my heart was until it reached the centre of my chest. The scar didn't look completely healed, so i could still see a small amount of muscle sticking out of the scar.
Feeling very light headed, I fell down face first onto the ground and then started to feel a sharp pain in my chest. "Aaaahhhhh!" I grabbed and clunched onto my chest as hard as I can. The pain was so much, I started rolling around in all different directions. Still shouting and rolling around, this felt like it was my time to die... to finally get away from this hell on Earth.
Then, I just stopped on the spot... my time has come. Looking around for the last time, I couldn't see anything because everything was just one big blur in my vision. 'Well, this is it, I'll finally be with you mom , at last...' I thought happily, but with a small amount of sadness.
A tear rolled down my face and then everything went black.
3rd PERSON POV
What happened next was something that came out of the ordinary. The Dark Gems next to Silver started to glow at very intense purple-black colour and the aura just grew bigger and bigger until it was getting closer to Silver.
The Dark Gems, out of nowhere, shot a large black beam towards Silver and he was then engulfed by it and its energy . The aura of the gems started to flow with the beams into Silver, it was like a transfusion from one object to another.
After 5 minutes, the beams died down , and the gems didn't even have their colours and looks anymore. The aura of the gems were not there anymore and the energy was gone and everything went silent, but the cave was vibrating violently and lots of small and large debris of rock started covering the cave. Silvers body could easily be crushed by the force of the debris that was coming off the ceiling of the cave. The last thing that happened, Silver's body was encased by the amount of debris that came from the ceiling, but Silver wasn't dead... Thankfully.
Hey guys, I know that my first chapter wasn't to good to appeal to other readers for Spyro fans, but I just joined and it's something for me to get use too. Anyone that has read the first chapter, please give me some advice for improvement so that i can publish my other chapter.
