The legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Huragon

Chapter 4

The First Meeting, The City and The Pain


The sun had poked up from over the horizon to start a new day and Alec, Spyro and Cynder were all still sleeping. Birds were singing, trees were rustling and the sun was beaming. Unfortunately for Alec a beam of light hit his face and woke up rather suddenly. This didn't help his head though.

"Ah! I'm blind! OW! MY POOR THUMPING HEAD!" Alec was extremely confused but regained composure. "I need to get some water...and a paracetamol."

Alec stumbled around for a bit and came across a lake. Alec wasn't to fond of drinking water straight from nature, but in his situation, he needed some. He knelt down, cupped his hands, dunked them in the lake and began to drink. To his pleasant surprise the water was cold, clean and refreshing so he drank some more and washed his face to wake himself up some more. It was at this moment he noticed the large lump on the top of his head.

"Ow...this is probably the reason my head feels like a drum. But how the heck did I get it?"

"You got it when we collided yesterday evening." said a feminine voice from behind answering his own question.

Alec was not expecting anyone to be around so he jumped out of his skin, slipped on a rock and fell in with a big sploosh. "SPLOOOSH!"

Cynder, the one whose voice spoke to Alec couldn't help but giggle at the comical performance she just witnessed.

As quickly as he fell in, Alec was straight back out because of it's unfriendly temperature, "T-THAT'S C-C-COLD!" Alec was referring not only to the harsh temperature of the lake but the fact that it was Cynder who caused him to fall in.

"I'm really sorry...again." Cynder regretted startling him.

Alec turned to face the other person and quickly realised who it was, "Oh man! It's Cynder! Which means Spyro isn't far behind...Better keep my cool. And thanks to the lake, that'll be easy..."

"C'mon." she said placing a wing around Alec's back, "Let's get you dry."

Back at the little encampment, Spyro was just waking up. He opened his eyes a little and saw two blurry objects approach him. he immediately jumped up and got into a defensive stance but then saw who it was. Cynder and Alec were slowly but surely walking towards him. Spyro was worried about Cynder being so close to the thing.

"Cynder, what are you doing! We don't know if that thing is friendly or not!" Spyro barked.

"It's alright Spyro, he's not dangerous, Although he is a bit skittish" Cynder replied, trying to reassure Spyro. Alec pouted at the remark, "I'm not skittish... You just spooked me when I was still dazed and confused..."

Spyro relaxed out of his stance."Okay...If you say so." Spyro still wasn't entirely convinced. But if his partner was sure, then he was sure.

Cynder returned to Spyro and nuzzled his cheek whilst Alec was attempting to dry his clothes. Spyro then whispered to Cynder "I think it's time we got some answers." Cynder nodded in agreement.

"Err...excuse me." Cynder said politely. Alec turned to her. "Do you mind telling us who and what you are? We've never seen a creature like you before."

Alec nodded and replied, "My name is Alec and I'm a huragon. The only huragon." Both Spyro and Cynder were puzzled.

"What's a huragon?" Spyro asked.

"Well... I guess you could say its the combination of two different species. Anyway, long story short, I can transform from this form into a dragon." Spyro's and Cynder's jaws dropped at the same time.

"You can transform into a dragon?! How is that even possible?!" Cynder exclaimed

"Well, I know for a fact that I can trust you two so in order to clear up any confusion or doubts you have, I'll tell you my 'story' so far."

"Wait, how can you trust us? You've never seen us before." said a puzzled Spyro

"Let's just say I know of the adventure you two had and the outcome of it."

Spyro and Cynder looked at each other with confused looks. They thought he must of been mentioning the battle with the Dark Master.

"My story began a few days ago when I was transported to this realm from another universe."

Spyro and Cynder gasped. "Another universe!"

"Yep. I was transported here by someone called the Chronicler."

Spyro's eyes widened, "So you've met the Chronicler as well?"

"I have. But it's not the same Chronicler that you met Spyro. This Chronicler is someone you know very well. Ignitus."

Spyro was shocked and on the verge of tears when he heard that Ignitus was the new Chronicler. "So Ignitus is...alive?" Spyro was thrilled.

"But why did the Chronicler, Ignitus, bring you here?" Cynder inquired.

"He brought me here because he fears that a new evil is rising. more powerful that Malefor. So he searched other universes until he came across me. He said that only I had a strong enough heart and mind to be transported, something like that."

Spyro and Cynder became worried and saddened about this new evil. But for now, they wanted to know a bit more about Alec.

"So what were you, in your own universe." Spyro questioned

"In my universe the dominant beings there are called Humans. They look exactly like me."

"So if you were a human, how comes you call yourself a huragon that can transform?"

"Well that's the thing, the Chronicler said that for me to be able to help you two combat the new evil, he gave me a number of abilities to help me survive here. The main one being able to transform to and from a human and a dragon, hense that's why i call myself a huragon now."

"Oh! I get it! The two different species; Human and Dragon combine to make a Huragon!" Cynder shouted triumphantly. Alec and Spyro tear-dropped.

Spyro and Cynder thought for a moment and Spyro spoke out, "Well if your going to help us combat this evil we better get back to Warfang and discuss this with the guardians."

Alec agreed, "Alright then, let's go." All three got up and started walking towards Warfang, City of the dragons.

On the way Alec decided to ask some questions, "Hey, can I ask you guys some questions?"

"Sure. What do you want to know?"

"How long has it been since Malefor was defeated?"

"It's been about two years."

"And what of the population of Warfang?"

"It used to be mainly populated with moles and cheetahs, but shortly after Malefor's defeat, more dragons started to pop up, so Warfang is now truely the City of Dragons."

"Oh that's good to hear."

Spyro bumped Cynder to get her attention, "Look. This... Huragon might be friendly but we still haven't seen him actually do any of the things he claims to do. So just be wary okay?"

Cynder bumped Spyro back, "Okay, I'll be wary. Mister worry-wart.

After thirty minutes of walking they arrived at the front gates of Warfang. Alec was taken aback. The gates were a dark golden colour, must of been thirty feet high and had an insignia of a dragon on each door.

"Open the gates! The saviours have returned!" Shouted a mole guard from the top of the wall.

The gates slowly creaked open and Alec ventured into the main square of Warfang. It looked like an average day in a busy city and Alec was stunned at these similarities. However as he and his new friends walked through the main square, moles, cheetahs and dragons were staring at Alec with confusion and fear making Alec feel slightly out of place.

"Awkward..." Alec murmured, trying to cover his face.

They passed the main square and headed to the temple where the guardians were residing. As they approached the temple door, it opened with a loud clunking sound. Once inside they were greeted by three massive dragons. Alec was gobsmacked at the size of them. He knew they were big but he wasn't ready for this.

"Hello Spyro, Cynder. How have you been?" the large green dragon with a low gruffy voice said.

"And who is your exotic friend? I've never seen a creature with his features, although he does look a lot like a cheetah except-" the skinnier yellow dragon asked but was interrupted by the pale blue dragon.

"That's quite enough Volteer, let Spyro and Cynder talk, But I do agree that it is a most fascinating creature."

"Sorry Cyril, sorry Spyro, sorry Cynder, sorry Terrador."

"That's alright Volteer, but we do have some urgent news to tell you and it involves Alec here." Spyro said with some seriousness.

"Alec? is that what you are called?" Terrador asked.

"Yes. That is my name." Terrador was amused by Alec's politeness.

"and what are you?" Cyril continued.

Alec felt tired having to explain his situation again , but thankfully Cynder stepped in, "He used to be human, but now he's a huragon." All three dragons were astounded to hear that.

"A human? Are you sure? I thought they were just fictional creatures that Ignitus thought up." Volteer squeaked.

After a while of explaining to the guardians everyone took a moment to think.

"This is deeply troubling news. A new evil more sinister than Malefor? It's hard to believe." Terrador told himself.

"But at least we know that Ignitus is alive and well." Volteer added.

"And is able to transport beings from other universe AND still have enough power to give that being some incredible abilities... Our Ignitus is some Dragon." Cyril mused.

Alec was getting a little annoyed at how they were just repeating what they had just heard. So he decided to move things along.

"Guardians! I wish to make a request." The three dragons faced him.

"And what might that request be young huragon?" Terrador answered.

"I wish to take up residence within Warfang so I can spend time with my new friends and so I can learn to control my abilities. It's what Ignitus would have wanted." He turned to look at Spyro and Cynder and smiled. Both younger dragons smiled back.

"I see no reason why I or any of the others can't accept that request, so you may stay here for as long as you like and feel free to explore the city, but I advise you not to leave during the night. Malefor might be gone but there are still some nasty critters out there." Terrador said calmly.

Alec's face lit up with happiness and nodded in agreement. Spyro and Cynder were also happy at this news. For some reason, even though Alec was a creature from a different universe and was technically part human, they both warmed to him rather quickly as if he were one of them and so began to treat him with the same trust and respect as any other being.

Later on, Cynder helped Alec find his way to his own room while Spyro was gathering food. To make Alec feel truly accepted, they organised a mini party in his room, consisting of only Spyro, Cynder and Alec.

Cynder was able to find Alec's room with ease because, just by luck, it was opposite her's and Spyro's room. Spyro returned with an assortment of food and drinks and so they began their private party. The party didn't last long, but it was a great one nonetheless. Spyro and Cynder left Alec's room not before saying goodnight and it didn't take long for the room to fall silent except for the soft breathing coming from Alec, which was a sign he fell asleep happy.

It was the dead of night and Alec was up and awake, feeling rough, "Man... I feel weird. Normally I would blame the food but I don't think that's the problem, besides, the food was tas-." Alec abruptly stopped his sentence, fell to his knees and clenched his abdomen tightly, "UUGH! What's going on, this is no ordinary stomach ache, ARGH!" Alec was in pain. Serious pain. He started to breathe heavily and felt a rush of heat cover his entire body. In his mind, something was screaming at him to get outside. He listened and proceeded to hobble and stumble in his pain-ridden way outside.

Cynder was also feeling a bit unwell but this was due to the nightmare's she was still enduring. This particular nightmare managed to wake her up and with the look of terror she had on her face, it was a bad one. Cynder was about to go back to sleep when she heard heavy footsteps outside. She got up and peaked out the door. She looked down the hallway and saw what appeared to be an injured Alec. She started to wonder why he was up at this time but more importantly, why was he hobbling and holding onto himself. She then decided to follow Alec to see if he was alright. She closed the door slowly so she didn't wake Spyro and began to give chase.

Alec eventually got outside but his pain tolerance levels were almost maxed out. Another voice in his head was yelling at him to get to the top of the hill which resided behind the temple which he caught a glimpse of as he entered the temple earlier in the day, so he painfully made his way up the hill not realising that Cynder was right behind him.

By the time he got up to the top of the hill, Alec was nearly in tears. Never had he experienced this much pain over so much of his body at one time. He fell to his knees again and crawled towards the opening through the trees. The top of this hill overlooked much of Warfang and was one of the places where the moonlight was bright. Alec was amazed by the view but only for a short period of time. The pain subsided for a brief second, but as quickly as it left it came back, with more force.

"AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!" Alec screamed, unable to fight the pain anymore.

Cynder, who was hiding behind a tree, could only watch and feel so helpless as her new friend was being tortured by an unknown force. Something then clicked in her mind and remembered something Alec told her at the mini party.

*FLASHBACK*

"So Alec, why don't you show us this transforming ability of your?" Cynder asked.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Alec began to explain, "When Ignitus gave me my powers, he said that they would be unstable and I could transform any time, any place. Well, only for the first couple of times. Although I wonder how long I'll be a dragon for when I do transform... A day? A week? Maybe more? Guess I won't know until it happens." Alec said that last bit with nervously.

"What's the matter? You seemed a bit nervous finishing your sentence." Spyro questioned.

"Yeah, it's just that, Ignitus told me I would experience pain like never before. So much so I wouldn't be able to prevent myself for yelling in agony."

*END OF FLASHBACK*

"So this must be what's going on with Alec! he must be transforming! And by the sounds of it, he wasn't kidding when he said it be painful..." Cynder thought to herself.

Cynder stood and watched in horror and amazement as Alec underwent his transformation.

Alec fell on all fours as his skin was starting to rip apart and fall off, being replaced with vivid red scales. His arms and legs slowly increased in size until they were at least six times bigger, his shoulders and hips also started to expand at the same rate. A tail was emerging from the end of his coccyx and his neck was getting longer. A pair of wings burst out from his shoulder blades and revealed themselves to be light red laced with a darker red and his head was changing shape and size. First off, Alec's head grew about one and half times bigger than normal and became more stretched, his upper and lower jaw was growing outwards accompanied by a serious set of teeth perfect for dicing flesh, his nose disappeared and was replaced by two little nostrils on the end of his now apparent snout, small but dangerous looking horns stuck out the side of his face, two on each side, his ears folded back and melted into the back of cranium and his main set of horns ruptured from the top of his skull and curved ever so slightly.

After a while, a red aura swept over Alec covering his entire body and in a instant, a strobe of red light absorbed Alec and Cynder was temporarily blinded.

"Gah! I can't see a thing except red!" Cynder shouted.

Once the aura had died down, Cynder laid her eyes upon Alec and was astonished at what happened. The strobe of light helped Alec to achieve a perfect transformation, there was not a single bit of evidence that showed he was previously a human.

After a minute or so, Alec was standing on his new paws and breathing very heavily. Unfortunately he used up every ounce of energy resisting the pain and fainted, causing him to topple over.

"Alec!" Cynder called out, worrying about his wellbeing.

Alec was fast asleep and wasn't going to be waking up any time soon.

Cynder thought it be best to go get some help. She attempted to carry him herself but found out he was much to heavy. So she rushed off leaving Alec by himself for now, dreaming of what the future might hold.


This chapter was done in a rush and so it might not make sense at some parts.

I've smoothed it out now so it should make more sense.
