CHAPTER-2 HOSPITALIZED

WARNING- this chapter is kinda graphic.

Spyro slowly opened his eyes. His vision focused, and he realized he was in the hospital wing of the temple, surrounded by Ember, Flame and the elders.

"What happened? Aww why does my head hurt so much?" Spyro asked holding it

"You fell when you blacked out, and hit your head silly." Ember said smiling.

She leaned in and kissed him quickly on the lips.

Flame rolled his eyes behind them

"Please never scare me like that again."

"Ok…"

"Do you promise?"

"Yes, I do."

"Good. Now the elders want to talk to you. Flame and I will be back later. Goodbye babe, I love you." Ember said leaving with Flame.

"Love you too…" he said tired from the drugs they had given him for his injury.

"Spyro, I understand that you had a dream last night. I need you to describe it for us."

That dream was one of the worst experiences of his life…he actually feared sleep because of it.

"Ignitus…do I have to?"

"Spyro we need this information. This could be a prophetic dream, and we need to know what you saw." Terrador said

Spyro thought back…he recapped what he could remember.

After he had told them all they knew, the elders thanked him, and let him rest.

OUTSIDE SPYRO'S ROOM

"We need to get to convexity and make sure the dark master is still there." Cyril said as they walked to the secret portal.

Upon arrival, the rock platform was covered in blood, and the purple beam was gone, and the metal casing was ripped and bent.

"Did he escape?" Voltier asked

"No…he's on the floor. Something immensely powerful did this…I have a feeling it was whatever Spyro saw in his dream." Ignitus said somberly

BACK TO SPYRO

He was really tired, but he couldn't go to sleep. He couldn't face that hell again.

He tried to stay awake as long as he could.

He tried to concentrate on the television, but it burst into flame! He pressed the nurse call button, but it melted onto the floor. He looked on the sides of his bed, where the tiles of the floor should have been, there was and endless sea of flames.

Spyro yelled for help, but he was not heard. The ground below his bed opened up and he fell into the huge pit of fire, leaving his bed. He fell for a few minutes until he hit red rock that was hot and slick with blood. He looked around, and saw what had to be hell.

To his left, Flame and Cynder were in cages with a large fire started below them, slowly heating the metal bottom of the cage, their cries pierced Spyro's psyche like a knife through butter.

There were creatures that were similar to humans except skinnier and were all black except for their 8 yellow eyes.

He then saw the elder's heads on pikes in front of the creature from his dream, sitting on a massive throne made of skulls.

Ember had been all four limbs chained to four boulders, immobilizing her. There were demons all around her, doing…unspeakable things to her.

(A/N raping her, if that wasn't clear. It's a T rated story, so I don't know if I can mention rape.)

This enraged spyro more than anything. He charged the demon horde and killed them all.

He was about to save ember when she disappeared right in front of him.

"Spyro!! Help me!"

He recognized that voice…it was Ambers.

Amber and Ember were in two separate chambers that were slowly filling with fire.

The huge creature stood on his goat like legs and spoke in a thunderous voice.

"I am the king of all evil! Lucifer himself! The master of hell! I destroyed your pathetic dark master, and now Spyro, you must face your own personal hell! You must choose between your love, and your past love. Choose now, or they both die!"

This was the decision Spyro thought would never come. He either had to give up his past memories, or give up the girl who has stuck with him through all of his hard times.

"Spyro…Spyro…Spyro! SPYRO!"

He snapped up. He was still in the hospital….it had all been a dream; Ember and Flame were right in front of him.

"Are you ok bro? You we talking in your sleep, sweating up a storm…we were worried about you dude." Flame said

"I'm…I'm fine…thanks guys…"

They talked until the nurse came in with Spyro's discharge papers. He signed them and walked out of the temple with his friends

It was a fall day just like the last one, perfect weather.

He thought about what he saw…his friends in pain, his love Ember…and Amber…suffering as well…and the choice he would have to make. He needed to talk to the elders about this, what did all of it mean?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Ignitus, I don't like this." Terrador said concerned

"Neither do I, but if what Spyro told us was true, then there is a much greater evil threatening our world." Ignitus said

"What do you think it is?" Cyril asked

"I have no idea. For all I know, we could be up against the very forces of hell itself."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Spyro went back to his cave alone, since it was nightfall.

He lay on his bed, but dared not sleep, for fear of being cast into that nightmare once more.

He stayed awake until sunrise the next morning, then drug himself to school.

Once he sat down Ember came next to him as usual.

"Spyro, did you sleep at all last night?" Ember asked

"No…couldn't sleep." He answered wearily

"Ok class, before we begin, we have a new student with us today! His name is Famalus; please make him feel at home."

Famalus was a mostly white dragon with black tribal markings covering half his body.

"Tell us a little about yourself Famalus." Ignitus said before letting him sit down.

With a clear look of discomfort, he began to speak.

"Well…I'm from a really far off place, and…I don't have any parents to speak of…" he stopped hoping that there would be no more questions, but alas, Flame raised his claw.

"Whats with the black designs?"

"They represent the balance between good and evil…that concept is important to my people."

"Which are?"

"Huh?" Famalus asked confused

"Who are your people?" Flame asked

"Um…they are…the…day moon tribe! Yes, the day moon tribe, those are my people."

"Ah yes, the day moon's fun loving bunch they are, you may sit down now." Ignitus said as he sat down, Ignitus began to take attendance.

"Spyro?"

"Here."

Famalus looked up, and identified Spyro.

'There he is, you know what must be done.'

'No Sulamaf! You don't control me!"

'That's what you think.'

(A/N Sulamaf is Famalus' dark side. Yeah he has a split personality thing going on.)

After a few hours, the recess bell rang, and they went out into the temple courtyard.

Spyro, Amber, Ember and Flame usually just talked at recess, since this was their last year of school.

"Maybe we should get that new guy over here. He looks like he's got some interesting stories." Flame said walking over to find him.

He did, and brought him back over to their group.

They introduced themselves and talked until recess was over, then school was out.

"Famalus, you should come back to our waterfall, it's really nice there." Ember suggested

"Yeah, it's the best waterfall in all of avalar." Spyro agreed, putting his arm around Embers waist.

"Well, ok."
He joined them at the waterfall and they swan and talked until the sun went down. When they did, they left to their respective caves.

Famalus went back to his cave and a version of him with the color patterns reversed appeared in front of him in a wispy black cloud.

'Well you know your target, now you must finish your mission.' Sulamaf said
'And if I refuse?'

"You will face Lucifer's wrath for all eternity in the lake of fire. This 'Spyro' character is the only dragon who can stop us, now get him out of the way, or it will be curtains for your soul."

Sulamaf charged famalus and re entered his chest, causing him to fall to the ground, coughing.

"Not so rough next time you jerk…" he coughed.

He fell on his bed and slept.

there ya go!
