Chapter 2
Hunter was waiting in the shadows. He was currently in The Well of Souls where Spyro and Cynder were frozen in their crystal prison. Something big was going to happen today at least that's what he heard. Then there was noise from entrance of the cave and grublins started entering the cave Hunter got behind a boulder and watched their movements. The grublins stopped where Spyro and Cynder were, the big one raised his club, and smashed it down on the crystal. The crystal started glowing and the light was increasing rapidly. The grublins shielded their eyes and the crystal broke.
When the light faded Hunter could see that Spyro and Cynder were both lying on the ground unconscious. The grublins picked them up and put some type of enchanted necklace that was shaped like a snake on them. They then carried them out of the cave, when Hunter was sure they were gone he went over to where the crystal broke. He then spotted a golden glow and went to check it out. He found the dragonfly Spyro was acquainted with, Sparx.
"Oh what happened?" Sparx said as he looked up. He then saw Hunter "MONST-" He was cut off from screaming by a paw on his mouth.
"Do not worry young Sparx I am not here to harm you I am here to aid you, your friends have been taken by grublins and I am here to help." Hunter said in a reassuring tone.
"Oh yah how can I trust you." Sparx said skeptically.
"You don't have a choice." Hunter replied.
Sparx sighed he really didn't have a choice did he? "Alright but I've got my eye on you" he then flew out of Hunters paw "let's go get my friends back."
Hunter nodded and started walking to the entrance of the cave but then he heard movement again. He quickly grabbed Sparx and shot over to his former hiding spot.
"Hey what gives!?" Sparx shot at him.
"Quiet the grublins are back." Hunter said in a hasty tone. Sparx just glared at him and kept quiet.
The grublins entered the cave again and started speaking in a language Hunter could not understand. 'What are the back here for, are they looking for Sparx maybe?' Hunter thought. But he was soon proven wrong when they brought in a barrel filled with explosives they put it next to a wall that seemed to have a purple glow to it and lit the fuse. The barrel exploded a few minutes later revealing a blackish purple crystal formation. 'Ah, so there here for more black crystals.' Hunter thought. But again he was proven wrong when the big grublin raised his club and smashed it down on the crystals.
But the crystal shattered immediately and black smoke erupted from it covering the big grublin in darkness. Hunter then heard screams from the smoke the slowly faded away. The other two grublins that were with him were scared stiff when the top half of the big grublin landed right in front of them. The corpse looked long decayed and there was a hole in the side its skull.
The other grublins then bolted for the entrance screaming but then a figure appeared out of black smoke that was suddenly in front of them. The grublins fell on their backs and shakily pointed their spears at the creature. Hunter could not see the creature from here and looked over at Sparx to see if he was okay.
Sparx had a terrified look on his face his eyes were wide and his hands over his mouth as if he were going vomit. Hunter then looked back over at the creature.
The creature had both its "claws" (that's the only way he could describe them) around the grublins and two sharp looking tentacles rose from its back (I know what you're thinking, you dirty guy you. But no.) The tentacles then shot over to the grublins piercing their skulls and it looked like he was sucking their brains out.
Hunter nearly jumped when the creature spoke in an echoing tone "Yes give me your knowledge." As the creature was draining them their bodies seemed to rapidly decay and then the creature dropped the two grublins harshly to the ground.
YOU GOT A ROYAL FLUSH YOU LITTLE BASTARD! Oh um…. hee hee sorry back to the story.
Hunter then heard a vomiting noise and looked over at Sparx. He was vomiting on the cave floor. Unfortunately he wasn't the only one who heard it.
The creature slowly looked over towards Hunter and Sparx and Hunter would never forget its face. Its face was hairless and its skin was gray, it had a smile only a maniac would wear and its eyes, oh lord its eyes. Its pupils were pure white with white vein shapes branching off from it and everything else around it, pitch black. Around its head was a hood that was made of what could only be described as shadows.
When the creature spotted Hunter its eyes got wider and also his smile. It started walking towards Hunter slowly. Hunter was frozen with fear as it got closer and closer, Sparx must have been too because he never heard him fly away.
But just as the creature was a mere two feet away the creature's eyes changed the pupils turned black, it gained a green iris, the outside of it turned white, the creatures skin turned from grey to tanish, and its smile faded. Then the creature's eyes rolled to the back of its head and it fell over its hood disappearing revealing dark brown fur on its head.
Hunter was speechless he felt like his life was flashing before his eyed a second ago now he just felt shocked. He looked over a Sparx who also wore a face of shock.
"Wha-what just happened?" Sparx asked breaking the silence.
"I do not know for sure but it appears whatever power that thing holds has worn out for the time being." Hunter replied.
An "Nnnnngghhh" sound came from the creature as it slowly began to pick itself up.
"Its waking up kill it kill it!" Sparx shouted.
"Wait I wish to interrogate it." Hunter wanted to know just what this thing was and how it got such power.
"Fine but don't blame me in the afterlife." Sparx replied as he went back behind the rock.
Hunter stepped out from behind the rock and loaded his bow as the thing rose two its feet.
'Let's see just what this thing is'
POV switch to Seth
I slowly began to regain consciousness and heard someone scream something and somebody else talking. When I rose to my feet I felt light headed and my eyelids felt heavy. 'Ugh, did someone drop bricks on me or something?' I thought as I opened my eyes. The sight that I was met with wasn't pleasant; there was a furry in front of me pointing an arrow in my face. A least I thought it was a furry then I realized it was too well detailed to be a one.
It then spoke saying "Do you work for Malefor?"
I replied with "Malewho?"
Then I saw Sparx fly out from behind a rock and say "You know big scary dragon who wants to rule the world." 'Wait a minute Sparx!? That wasn't just some crazy dream!? So that means… no now's not the time for grieving.' Yes I knew about Sparx that's because I played the first two games of The Legend of Spyro series but I didn't play the last one of course that would have just been too easy.
"Oh that guy…." I replied
"Do you work for him?" The furry asked again.
"Uh no." I told him.
"Really because all apes work for Malefor and you look suspiciously like one." The cat replied.
"Well my race did evolve from apes." I said without thinking. But I realized too late.
"That's all I needed to hear." The cat said in a grave tone.
"Wai-" I tried to say but it was too late. He fired the arrow at me and something…. strange happened. As if it was instinct my hand snapped up and caught the arrow a mere inch away from my face. I looked at the arrow with my mouth agape. I looked over at the cat… you know what screw it I'm calling it a Khajiit. I looked over at the Khajiit and he had a fearful expression on his face and he had his hand on his sword. Sparx on the other hand was completely dumbfounded by the look on his face. His mouth was wide open his figure hunched over and his hands were slumped down to his "tail"?
I was about to speak when I heard movement from the entrance of the cave. The Khajiit must of heard it too because he grabbed Sparx and hid behind the rock. Me, I was completely out in the open and nowhere to hide yay. 'Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, what NOW!' I thought. But then I heard an echoing voice in my head 'Put on your hood.' 'What the… but I don't have a hood.' I replied. 'Trust me.' It reassured. 'Well when all else fails trust the voice in your head.' I thought as I reached back for a hood. I surprisingly found one and put it up. Then I heard a different voice 'Hide in the shadows' 'Okay now two voices in my head anyone else wanna announce their presence?' 'There is one more in here but we will explain later no go to the shadows!' 'Alright jeez touchy…' I replied while I hid in a shady spot. I was afraid whatever it was coming into the cave was going to spot me but the ugly little things didn't, they just walked right pass.
I actually got a good look around the room and saw the corpses. 'What the hell happened here?' 'We did.' Mr. creepy answered. 'What do you mean-' I started but was quickly cut off. 'As I said we will explain later now focus!' Mr. bitchy said. As the ugly things entered and saw their men and started talking in a different language but, to my shock, I could understand it just fine.
"What in the name of Malefor happened here!?" The first one said.
'How can I-' but alas cut off again. 'Explanation. Later. Focus damn it!' I listened to Mr. Ass and put my attention back on their conversation.
"Malefor said the creature might lash out at us and I guess he was right." Another one said. "We need to find the creature and bring it before Malefor."
'Great now I'm being hunted by these guys yippe do da.'
The ugly things started to walk out of the cave and Mr. creepy said 'Follow them.' 'Oh great idea follow the guys who are hunting for me.' I replied sarcastically. 'Have any better ideas?' I sighed he was right if I didn't follow them I'd probably be lost in the cave system. 'Fine.' 'And remember stick to the shadows.'
I sighed again 'I miss Danny.'
A/N: Phew that took a while to write now we are starting to get into the good stuff, and yes I know the voices in his head may be confusing but I'll explain it in the next chapter, anyways see yah guys next time.
