Chapter 4: Escape attempts

(Spyro's POV)

I gave a low grunt as I slipped out of the bedroom I'd been staying in the past two days, thankfully avoiding any more interrogations by feinging sleep except to eat and I actually was sleeping most of the time trying to recover my energy, I'd burned far too much in the fight I'd been in to defeat malefor the worst was my throat which burned with every breath. Seems when you force all the power and heat of a fire fury out of your mouth it does some serious damage.

It was early morning on my fourth day there when I rose early and silently limped out of the room cringing at a slight clack of my claws against the stone floor glancing back slowly as Cynder shifted a bit in her sleep tail curling up to rest against her nose making me grin I have no right to stay here and bring something down on them that will ruin this…its best if I leave now.

I peeked around the edge of the door into the living room sighing in relief as I saw no sign of anyone present as I tiptoed towards the front door pushing it open with a small creaking sound as I shuddered from the sound gasping as I heard a footstep behind me

"So where are you off to spyro?" Agatha asked making me spin around and let out a silent groan bringing one of my wings around to reveal a note I'd written out "I see you wanted to stretch your legs a bit? So why did I find a farewell note from you on our door?"

I sighed and pulled out a piece of parchment and scribbled a note on it "I'm a danger to you all by staying here, I want to leave before something comes after me"

She sighed "who would come after you? You're the purple dragon right? Most anyone would be too scared to fight you"

I sighed and scribbled again "I'm not without enemies, the death of the Dark Master doesn't mean that I won't be attacked by someone who holds a grudge against me or my allies" I told her "So I want to leave before something like that occurs, you don't deserve to risk being hurt over my past"

She blinked and raised a brow at the words "past? What happened that makes you think this way?" she asked softly.

I shuddered and turned away from her eyes closing tightly as I was swept up in a memory of my first mission for the guardians.

~~~~Flashback~~~~

I growled as I glared at the creature before me, Gulp was his name a large four legged beastial creature that seemed to have an affinity for ice "Like my pet little whelpling?" the sorcerer Ripto chuckled staff glowing in his one hand

I snorted "I've seen better" I shot back casually "I mean he's big, nasty, and probably pretty strong right?" Ripto nodded looking pleased with himself "so's an ape and they're still ugly as sin that's not impressive pipsqueak"

"Pipsqueak?!" he roared "Ooooh you pathetic little bastard" he snapped snapping his staff out to zap Gulp who gained a large pair of cannons forming on his back "Try this on for size hero"

I shook my head as I dodged a blast as it crashed into the wall behind me as I growled flapping upwards with a powerful flap of my wings dodging another pair of blasts countering with a blast of flames at the creature before me detonating the blasts in his face making it roar in pain

Ripto cursed as I shot forward tail crackling with lightning as I slammed it into the side of the one cannon sending a powerful surge of electricity into it making them short and misfire into the ceiling dropping a large blast of rock onto Gulps head causing the beast to snarl in pain as he shook his head whipping around to glare at me the cannons charging once more

_End flashback_

I shuddered and shook my head pulling back from the memories as I swallowed painfully to find Agatha still staring at me as I sighed and scrawled a small note "Will you let me leave?" it asked simply.

She shook her head upon reading it "I'm sorry but no spyro, you're in no shape to be going anywhere especially on any sort of long trip."

I sighed and shook my head scrawling another note "Fine then is there at least another room I can sleep in? I don't want to wake Cynder up cause I roll onto my wings in the middle of the night" it was close enough to the truth not to matter as the real issue was me waking up from nightmares though I did ache all through the night.

Agatha read the note and sighed but nodded "come on I'll see what we can come up with." She noted turning to head back towards the bedrooms as I glanced back at the front door before slowly trudging after her wincing at the ache in my neck and wings.

Author's Note

Okay sorry this took so long but it was a hard chapter to write I might end up time skipping a bit more to have spyro heal a bit so he can talk and such. He won't be top form for QUITE awhile so don't expect next chapter to have spyro back to running around shooting fire and crap.

Author's Note:

okay I'm replying here simply due to the fact that I got a review and I'm not sure when the next chapter will be up due to school and writers block.

Shadow117 I am WELL aware of the fact that classic spyro and Legend Spyro are two separate timelines and stories. And I understand Ripto is a classic spyro villain but I could not find a better character canon or not to play his part in the story and I have a plan and WILL explain how he's here and such.

Now either get an account so I can do this on pm's or don't criticize one of the key elements of my story, the whole point is you the reader don't have the whole story, Cynder, Agatha, and Michael do not have the full story, only Spyro (and myself) have the whole story and we're not telling till we're good and ready.
