Sorry it took so long posting this chapter i meant to post it this morning but set back after set back i finally got a spare moment to post it. enjoy also i dont own any spyro themes
"Owwww my head" what happened?
"You ok there sunshine?" asked a feminine voice
I looked into the face of a cheetah and was completely shocked.
"Ya I guess I am" I took her hand as she pulled me up. Wait in wearing clothes? This nice ... cheetah must have dressed me how nice. Then I noticed the other dragons. There was the one who saved my life. He was all jet black but his inner scales were almost pure white and had purple markings running down the outsides of his arms and legs. Well what I could see of them he was wearing pants and a jacket. He had no tail blade either which is weird all the other dragons had one. There is a single purple upside down triangle under each of his eyes he had only two horns on top of his head, they were bone white. And he had very well-toned muscles. A soldier next to him was tying his hands behind his back even though he was asking them not to. It wasn't until they were trying to gag him that i stepped in
"Hey why are you gaging him what's he done?!"
"Hey you should stay out of our business lady!" the soldier yelled back
I looked to the cheetah next to me hoping she would help him but to no aval.
"Oh my names Jane by the way" I said to the cheetah
"I'm falcon it's nice to meet you ... I'm guessing you don't remember anything either?
"How did you know?" I asked surprised
"He can't either and he claims he saved your life"
"Well he did! Before I blacked out I was falling and a black dragon with a white inner body saved me" I explained
"Are you sure it wasn't someone else?"
"Defiantly because he was defiantly wearing that ridiculously funny outfit" I mean look at him. His shirt and pants are hilarious with those brown green and black colors all in a swirl of patterns. He had a backpack on as well and on it was a metal dome hooked unto the back.
Great I save this Jane girls life and she laughs at me just great. As soon as the soldiers were gone they untied me which I thanked them for. And I finally got a good look at this Jane. I didn't want to look at her while she didn't have clothing on it just would have felt extremely weird. She was now wearing black pants and a blue shirt. She was a medium shade of blue with a sky blue under belly. She had 4 horns two on top of her head and two smaller horns sticking out the side. Her tail blade was in the shape of a spear head. Marking wise she didn't have many, some thin dark blue lines ran down her back and down the tail, I noticed how the lines were thinker on her wings in a zebra pattern. She even had visible muscles from the short sleeve shirt. I cursed myself mentally as I found my eyes drawn to her rear. Why did I just stare its wrong? I'd have to get my mind off of that topic.
"So ... why is it everyone around here doesn't trust me?" I ask
"Because of the color of your scales when a dragon becomes corrupted his scales turn a darker color of his original color. But you ... you are different." falcon explained
"How so?" I asked
"Because you're not aggressive, you're not guarding a dark gem, and your belly is white." falcon said
"Why would I be aggressive? Everyone but the soldiers so far have been nice to me"
The walk back to the place called war fang wasn't that bad. only took a few hours but it was when we approached the gate that I realized how much other dragons didn't like "dark dragons" considering everyone was giving me a nasty look like I just did something horrible. We passed many shops selling anything from clothes to armor, to weapons. we also passed a restaurant and my stomach growled audibly.
"Where are we going again?" I asked
"me and Jane are going to get lunch I'm starving you are going to see the guardians so we know for sure if your evil or not" falcon said
We walked into a massive temple and down a long corridor leading into a massive room were 4 elderly dragons sat around a table talking. One who was orange in color stopped talking to the others and turned to us.
"Oh so this must be the dark dragon the scout told us about" he said
"Why do I get the feeling that 'dark dragon' means I'm public enemy number one" I asked sarcastically
"It does, now you two may leave but you dark dragon you must follow him" said a dragon who was mainly white.
"I have a name ya'know"
"Oh? And what is your name then? Most dark dragons don't remember anything" said the orange one
"Matt"
"Well matt I'm Ignitus follow me"
So I followed the old dragon down a side passage to a room with only a cot and a window.
"Now please lay down"
So I did after I took my backpack off I did as he said and lay down. He took out a crystal that was white and places it on my chest. Which at first I thought was very weird. Then he just stared at it as it melted into a liquid puddle. Weird it didn't get my clothes started spreading over my scales. (Imagine the scene from the matrix only clear water) the liquid covered every part of my body from wings to tail. Ignitus looked at me.
"Interesting ..." he said as the liquid started changing back into a crystal
"Wait what happened?"
"You wait here I must consult the other guardians
Ignitus then left me in the room alone
'Great now what are they going to do to me'
The other guardians were talking trying to pass the time waiting for the dark dragon to be cured by the reformation crystal but they haven't heard a scream yet. Suddenly Ignitus walked through the door talking to himself.
"I can't believe this the liquid covered his whole body and he didn't react!"
"He didn't?" Terrador asked
"Then that means he is not a dark dragon" Volteer said
"then what element is he I've never seen a dragon with black scales other than a few dark dragons that have been cured" Terrador said
"i will go find out if he's of the fire element, next Cyril, Terrador and lastly Volteer" Ignitus ordered
Ok at least it wasn't a very long wait. i decided to sit cross-legged on the cot.
"So young dragon do you know your element?"
"My what?"
"You don't know what the elements are?"
i shook my head. Ignitus went on to explain how each dragon can wield one of four elements fire ice earth and electricity. He then tested me to see if I could breathe fire. Lucky for me I couldn't because I'm terrified of large fires. Later an elderly dragon walks in.
"So Ignitus tells me you're not of the fire element so let's see if you're of the ice elements" said Cyril. He walks over and hand me a glass of water. He then instructs me not to drink it but to breathe on it. I did as i was told and I watched in amazement as water froze to ice.
"So you are indeed of the ice element very good i have not had a student to teach in forever"
He then left to tell the others that i use this ice element. When he returned falcon was also with him.
"Alright matt, falcon here was nice enough to let you and Jane stay with her"
"Thanks" I say
"He's not going to go all evil on us in the middle of the night is he?" falcon asked sarcasticly
"He's not a dark dragon his scales just happen to be black ... which is odd"
"You mean more odd then that outfit?" falcon said
"Ok is this really that bad?" I asked
"Yes!" Cyril said
Me falcon and Jane were walking out of the temple and i finally got a better look at the city of war fang. it was about then that I heard wing beats. i look to see myself face to face with a crashing dragon
"OOOFFFFFF" both me and this dragon tumble to the ground. it was a little awkward considering i was on my stomach and he ended up sitting on my back.
"Oops sorry I was trying to get a new trick ... hey falcon what's up last i heard you were assigned to thunder hawk!"
"Oh hey tinder! Nothing much i's letting these two crash at my place"
"Didn't you hear your moving in with my family they needed more room for some of the wounded to recuperate and I'm sure my parents will let them stay in the guest room" tinder said
Wow he just crashed into me and he's letting me stay at his place. Who was he I've never seen any dragon like him his scales were a little darker than normal purple while his inner scales were whitish gold.
"You sure your mother won't care?" falcon asked
"Only one way to find out follow me" tinder said
We follow tinder down what looked like the main street of war fang. When we reached a modest looking home he told us to wait as he rushed in. after some yelling I heard his parents say it was ok and he rushed out to tell us.
"They said its ok come on in my mom wants to meet you two" tinder said pointing at me and Jane. tinder turned and walked through the door followed by falcon then Jane and finally myself
"Oh hello falcon long time no see" an adult dragon said hugging falcon. She was an even darker purple then tinder with pink inner scales. she also had 6 horns sticking out her skull. She was wearing black pants and a white shirt. She looked at Jane
"Hello I'm Cynder" she said holding a hand to Jane
"I'm Jane it's nice to meet you" another dragon comes around the corner he was light purple with a gold inner body.
'Wow I can see the family resemblance' i thought
"Hello tinder making new friends i see?" he said
"Yep this is Jane" he said pointing to Jane" and this is matt" he said pointing to me "Jane, matt this is my father Spyro"
"Well it's nice to meet you all" Spyro says holding a hand out to me. i shake his hand not being able to shake this weird feeling, like i should know who this is.
"So you two are the new ice dragons that just showed up" Spyro said
"Wait we just got here how did you know?" i asked
"In war fang news travels faster than wildfire ... in fact most people thought you were a reformed dark dragon" he said
"Ok no one has yet to explain to me what a dark dragon is only that I look like one" i said
"Wait do you even know what's happened recently?" Cynder asked
Both I and Jane shook our heads.
"i don't remember anything before this morning other than my name"
"same here but i remember a story about someone named Spyro defeating someone called Malefor... that wasn't you ... was it?" said Jane
"Yes that was me it's been 20 years since that battle I was 16 at the time" Spyro explained
After an awkward silence Cynder finally said
"Well its late so you should all get some sleep" Cynder said
"So who will bunk with who" asked tinder
"Dibs on bunking with you" said falcon pointing to tinder
"Ok then Jane and matt will have to sleep in the guest room until my parents can get the other bunk bed in my room" tinder led me and Jane down a hall way and opened the door.
"Oh and matt we got you a couple pairs of ... well normal looking clothes let's face it I'm finding it pretty hard not to laugh at you also have fun you two" he said as he shut the door. i notice how the bed is double wide so me and Jane will have to sleep in the same bed.
"So umm how do we sleep without this being awkward?" i ask
"We'll just sleep back to back" she said
I found the clothing and i put them off to the side. i start going through my pack to see what i have in it. i find a water container a fire starting kit a blanket a few packs of bandages just some stuff not much else the pack was relatively empty. Then I realize I'm still in the "ridiculous" outfit. So when Jane was in the bath room I quickly change my pants and shirt. Instead of the outfit I woke up in I know wore black pants and a green shirt. Oh boy am I tied so I get into bed and quickly fall asleep. Later I felt Jane get into the bed but I was too tired to care.
My eyes were still blurry when I woke up and I was stiff from yesterday. Weird usually I would have a dream but no dream today. I noticed another body close to mine and remembered Jane and I had to share a bed. It wasn't until my eye cleared that I realized I was snout to snout with Jane. I didn't dare move but my eyes were wide with shock. Wait what's that sound? I look down without moving my head to see tinder, falcon, and Cynder standing in the doorway.
'Oh god could this get any worse'
"Umm" I look straight ahead to see Jane staring at
'Oh shit it just did'
