Chapter 2 Victory

"Why… WHY!" Malefor shouted in anger. "Why do I let myself think of such a stupid thought!". He said to himself, followed with a growl "Why would I regret such a victory, why would I regret such a giant deed for myself!. A such big goal, finely finished, after years of work!"

This wasn't the first time, that the thought of regret, had haunted him. The thought had haunted him, for years.

It started, when he first began his regime. In the beginning the thought was costanly in his mind, nearly tearing him apart. But, Malefor just kept ignoring it, only thinking it as a distraction, a thing he needed to ignore, to reach his goals. The thought would always try again, and again, and again, doing it's best to get Malefor, away from the path he had chosen.

But, it would always lose. Nothing it did could make him stop his rampage against the world. It would do anything, use guilt, use disgust, use sadness. But it was feelings, the dark master had left behind.

And over the years, to the point where he had forgotten, what mercy ment, the thought had popped up in his mind, lesser, and lesser. Sometimes, Malefor even forgets that the thought, had even existed.

In the end, nothing could get him off the path, that he had chosen.

And there he stood, with his head full of his thoughts, when suddenly, one of his minions opened his door to the room, and stepped in.

Malefor was cut off-guard when his minion came in the the room. He turned around fast, to face hoewer it was that had interrupted his thoughts. He saw that it was one of his ape's.

The ape was nearly a skeleton, with only a little flesh left on his bones. Malefor could even spot a little bit of the brain, in the skull.

After seconds of silence, Malefor asked angry. "What do you want!"

The ape reacted like he had just been in a dream, and just woke up in shock.

"I-i just came to say that, Spyro and Cynder, have g-gotten thru the belt of fire." The ape replied nervous.

Malefor then asked frustrated, over that Spyro and Cynder had gotten thru, the literally, wall of fire. "When did they come!".

"S-some minutes ago." The ape said,

Malefor was now nearly shaking, of anger.

"Why was i not informed about this earlier!" He yelled at the ape, that now seemed to want to scream and run out of the room as fast as he could. It amused Malefor, but he didn't show it.

"I-i don't kn-know." The ape finally replied, now shaking in terror.

Malefor now looked at the ape with eyes, that looked like they could burn right thru your soul. Malefor finally replied after seconds - that seemed like hours for the ape- of silents.

"Fine, get the soldiers ready! Spyro and Cynder are not, gonna stop me this time! Not with victory right at my claw tips!"

The ape, relieved over getting out of this without getting killed, said.

"Y-yes my master" And begun going to the exist.

"One more thing." Malefor said without any signs of anger and frustrations, right as the ape was at the exist. Malefor's calmness, maked the ape nervous.

The ape stood still, and then begun thinking of all the things that could go wrong now.

After some moments, the ape slowly turned around and said.

"Yes my ma-."

Before the ape could finish his sentence, he was hit by flames from the purple dragon.

What was left of the ape's skin got burned away in moments, as did the bones. After only a small moment the ape was burned completely to ashes.

"I'm actually not, gonna need you to call the soldiers." Malefor said, right after he had burned the ape. Then he burst out in a laugher. A very, sick laughter.

"Oh, that felt good." He said, after finally stopping to laugh. I could do this all day, he thought. Malefor then let out a sigh. But, i'm going to need all my strength, to the fight with Spyro and Cynder. I don't like the chances, of my stupid minions, to stop them before they reach me."

After standing there sometime in his thoughts, he finally noticed the mess he had caused. There were burn marks all over floor, and then the pile of ash, from the ape. "I should get somebody to clean this mess up." He thought.

"HEY, I'M GOING TO NEED SOMEBODY TO CLEAN UP THIS MESS, NOW!"

Malefor, yelled out in the corridors. After some seconds an orc, came down to Malefor's rome, with a broom. The orc was exhausted, Malefor believed that it was because, the orc had runed to get here. But Malefor could not care less. Malefor then yelled at the orc.

"THAT WAS ABOUT TIME! NOW CLEAN UP THIS BEFORE I RIP YOUR SPINE OFF YOUR BACK!"

The orc -now shivering in fear- quickly ran to the pilled of ash.

When the orc got to the ash pile, he smelled something bad. The Orc was pretty sure that it was the smell, of burnt flesh. The orc would soon find out that his theory was correct, because only seconds in brooming the ash pile, he saw an eye. The orc was now standing still, shocked, over his discovery. He tried his best, not to puke vomit everywhere.

When Malefor noticed that the orc was standing still, not working, he yelled in frustration.

"HEY, I DIDN'T ALLOWED YOU TO RELAX! NOW GET BACK TO WORK!"

The orc without thinking, quickly began brooming again. He hold bag his vomit, as the smell of burned flesh reached his nose. After he got the ash into a trash bin, he . began to go to the exist. When the orc got out of the room, Malefor slammed the door, hitting the orc, and sent him flying into the wall, at the other side of the hallway.

Malefor was in his thoughts, when he came to an agreement with himself.

"I can definitely, not relay on my minions." He thought.

"No, I need to think of a plan, for when they reach me. But what should I do." He said.

Malefor, now deep in his thoughts, was trying to think of a plan.

And then, a moment came, where everything seemed silent to the Dark master.

In that moment, he got an idea. An idea, cruel, and merciless.

An evil and sadistic smile, showed up on the face of Malefor. He now had a plan. Malefor then said to himself, with an evil and cruel, voice.

"This - this is going to be fun."
