This chapter is an action packed chapter. Let me say that it starts out slow but you can kind of get into it. It also reveals what Valavadorog's character is like. This chapter is also a shocker because of what happens or almost happens. Let's get on with the fourth chapter shall we.
Chapter 4 A Special Day
The next day Cynder awakens in her quarters. She stretches and looks around. She could hear the birds chirping outside her window. She looks at the door as it creeks open. Through the door comes Spyro who looks at Cynder with a smile on his face. Cynder was also happy to see him too. She runs over and hugs Spyro giving him a kiss on the cheek as she does so. She then takes two steps back from Spyro who was smiling. Cynder comes out of her quarters beside Spyro she closes the door behind them.
"Hay Cynder I have been thinking about something." Spyro says to Cynder nervously.
"Yes Spyro what have been thinking about?" Cynder asks Spyro thinking why he was so nervous.
"Well it's about you and me." Spyro says getting a little bit more nervous.
"I think I know where this is going." Cynder says chuckling as she finishes speaking.
"Oh you do. Well you're the one that asked the question." Spyro says to Cynder.
"Yah I remember." Cynder says back to Spyro.
"I love you Cynder." Spyro says to Cynder.
"I love you too Spyro." Cynder says back.
Then the two come out to the huge courtyard where everyone in the Dragon temple had gathered. All around there were decorations. In the middle of the courtyard there was a cake that Flame and Ember had made yesterday. All of this was because it was Cynder's birthday and Spyro had requested this for her. She looks at the crowd as they all say. "Happy birthday Cynder." She is surprised that anyone actually knew. The only one that she ever told was Spyro. Then realizes this and slowly looks over at him. Spyro sees Cynder looking at him and smiles.
"I know you had something to do with this." Cynder says to Spyro with a hint of surprise in her voice.
"Yah it was mostly me and Valavadorog. Speaking of him where is he?" Spyro says then looks around for Valavadorog.
"Well I like it anyway." Cynder says to Spyro with a smile on her face.
"Attention." Everyone hears the voice of Valavadorog call out.
Everyone turns around. Valavadorog was at the back of the courtyard overlooking everyone.
"Now then since I've gotten your attention we have all come here to celebrate a very special day. For this day is my sister's birthday and for this special day I have a message for us all…" Valavadorog says to the silent crowd but stops as he scans the crowd with his eyes.
In the back of the crowd he sees the Red Dragoness again. This time she was beside a door and was looking directly at him. She looked at him with her ruby red eyes and on her chest she wore an amulet like Frederick's but in the middle of it was a Heart crystal like the one that Valavadorog had. He at her face because her hood was down now so he could see her head. She had two small sized purple horns on the top of her head and the spikes along her neck were also purple. Valavadorog just stands as if frozen by seeing her again here of all places.
"What's wrong with him?" A person in the crowd can be heard saying along with ambient chatter.
"We… Are… Uh…" Valavadorog mumbles keeping his eyes on the Dragoness.
The Dragoness then turns around and walks through the doorway. She takes one final look back at Valavadorog then winks. At that moment Valavadorog was certain of who it was.
"Wait a minute." Valavadorog says jumping down from the stand he was on running to catch up with the Dragoness.
Spyro and Cynder watch as Valavadorog run through the crowd and through the door.
"What's wrong?" Cynder asks Spyro thinking that he would know what was going on.
"I don't know. I'll go check." Spyro says flapping his wings and gliding over the crowd to that Valavadorog had gone through.
Then Sparx the Dragonfly comes floating over beside Cynder watching as Spyro goes through the door.
"Hay what's going on?" Sparx says yawning he had just woken up.
"I don't know Valavadorog just ran off. Spyro went after him." Cynder explains to Sparx.
"Well he better hurry up the crowds getting restless." Sparx says listening to the crowd.
Down the corridor Valavadorog chases after Dragoness. She walks into the chamber where Malefor's statue lies. He runs into the chamber but as he enters the chamber he stops suddenly as a vision comes into his mind. Instead of her running around the statue of Malefor he sees her run into a large Dragon castle that seemed to be in another realm. As he comes back to reality she is gone and Valavadorog is left with a sense of anger for some strange reason. Then Spyro catches up with Valavadorog catching his breath as he stops. After he recovers his breath looks at Valavadorog who was still trying to figure out what had just happened.
"What's wrong Valavadorog?" Spyro asks.
"I don't really know. Don't worry about me." Valavadorog says.
"I'm not worried about you Valavadorog. Cynder is." Spyro says to Valavadorog.
"Why am I here?" Valavadorog asks himself.
"What?" Spyro asks questioningly.
"Why am I here? Why are any of us here?" Valavadorog says in a serious tone.
"I don't think I can answer that." Spyro says to Valavadorog.
"Of course you can't. All you are is a soldier. A bloody freaking fighter that's you ever will be that's all your kind are. That's all that you ever will be." Valavadorog says turning and getting in front of Spyro's face speaking with a hint of anger in his voice.
"Valavadorog what are you saying?" Spyro asks not understanding.
"Typical Purple Dragons too much power too little brains you're just like the rest." Valavadorog says turning around and walking away.
"You're starting to sound like an enemy." Spyro says.
Then Valavadorog stops and turns around and faces Spyro with an angry look on his face.
"An enemy is that all I am to you? Because I can be your enemy." Valavadorog says to Spyro walking up towards him slowly.
"Valavadorog I don't want to fight you." Spyro says taking a step back.
"Too bad then because I'm an enemy remember." Valavadorog says to Spyro with his paws starting to pulse with energy.
"Oh crap." Spyro mumbles under his breath.
Then Valavadorog leaps forward and charges his left paw into a fist. As he slams down at the ground Spyro rolls backwards and evades the attack but doesn't evoid his tail whip and is knocked backwards on his back. As he gets to his feet he looks and sees Valavadorog charging at him. But before he could even move Valavadorog sendis his flying into the wall Spyro goes through the wall into the room behind it. Spyro gets to his feet realizing that was going to have to fight Valavadorog. He looks up and sees Valavadorog stepping through the hole he had used Spyro to make in the wall. Charging up a fire blast Spyro takes aim at Valavadorog and fires. The huge fire blast sends Valavadorog back through the hole and sends him flying into the solid stone statue of Malefor. Spyro then leaps on top of Valavadorog trying to prevent him from getting to his feet but it was inevitable. Valavadorog kicks Spyro of him and charges up his fire blast as Spyro charges up his own as well. The two fire at once and both of their fire blast converge in the middle. The two streams of fire were both of equal power. Then Spyro fires another fire blast adding power to his first it started to push Valavadorog's blast back. Valavadorog starts to skid backward as Spyro's fire blast got closer to him. But then he jumps backward out of the fire blasts direction. Spyro takes time to recover as Valavadorog glides through the air towards him. He scoops Spyro up and throws him at the ground. Spyro lands with a loud thud. Then Valavadorog charges downward at Spyro but Spyro tail whips and sends Valavadorog into the ground behind him. Valavadorog jumps up and grabs Spyro. Spyro tries to break free as Valavadorog clamps his jaws down on his neck.
Spyro moans in pain but is able to force Valavadorog off of him. Spyro puts his paw on the wound on the left side of his neck. It was a small gash and as he brings down his paw he sees blood on it and growls charging at Valavadorog. He knocks Valavadorog back into the hallway. Valavadorog then spins around as he tries to tail whip Spyro again. This time Spyro grabs Valavadorog's tail and swings him further down the hallway. Spyro then jumps up and slams down joinging his two paws together into a fist and slamming down at Valavadorog who rolls and then knocks Spyro to the ground. As Spyro collapses to the ground Valavadorog kicks him in the rear sending him skidding across the ground further down the hallway. Spyro rolls back to his feet as Valavadorog charges at him. Spyro grabs Valavadorog's horns and tosses him in the direction of the court yard. Spyro then charges at Valavadorog who slams Spyro on the ground and grabs him. Valavadorog charges at the wall and slams Spyro at it. Spyro is severally injured by the attack and opens his eyes to se Valavadorog swinging his paw at him. Spyro is able to break free and slips downward out of Valavadorog's grip. Valavadorog slams his paw into the paw that was holding Spyro and growls turning to his left as Spyro dashes grabbing him. Valavadorog slams his paw into Spyro's side and his claws pierce through Spyro's skin tarring into his inner muscle. Spyro stops because of the pain and Valavadorog grabs him by the neck with his mouth and tosses him out into the court yard. He then charges outside and pounces on top of Spyro ready to send his paw through his head he realizes where he was.
Valavadorog looks at the crowd who were all shocked and afraid by what was happening. But the one that really stops him is the look on Cynder's face who was standing beside the door as he charged through. The look on her face makes Valavadorog stop entirely and sends shivers down his back. He hesitates for a couple of seconds but then backs off of Spyro. Spyro is unable to get up because of the pain. Cynder comes over and grabs him to help him up. Valavadorog had just beaten the tar out of the purple Dragon. But he did for what he thought.
"What did you do to him?" A person in the crowd asks.
Then the crowd all surrounds Spyro and cinder seeing if there was a way that they can help. Valavadorog runs back down the hallway heading for his quarters. But as he runs down the hallway he misses the Dragoness that was coming from the chamber where Malefor's statue was. As Valavadorog runs by she looks out towards the court yard seeing what had happened. She grins. Her tasks had been done. She then disappears in a flash.
As Valavadorog approaches his quarters he stops realizing what the Dragon Guardians might do when they figure out what he had just done. He looks to his left and sees a Dragon Guard. Feeling threatened he looks to his right and sees a window. He charges at the window and bashes through it. He flies from the Dragon Temple afraid of what might happen if he returned. He heads for the city Warfang. He was on the run now and there was nothing he could do about it.
In the Dragon temple Cyril and Terrador rush to the court yard they had just learned of what had happened between Spyro and Valavadorog. They rush and find Cynder and Hunter helping Spyro to the medical chamber. Maria who was there with Guardian is shocked when they saw the damage done to Spyro. Spyro was unable to speak from the pain.
"What happened?" Maria asks.
"Valavadorog attacked him." Cynder says.
"What. Valavadorog may threaten some people but he's not violent unless provoked." Guardian says questioningly.
"You better believe it. I saw the whole thing. Valavadorog was almost ready to beat him to a pulp if it wasn't for Cynder." Hunter says.
"Where is he?" Terrador asks.
"I don't know he just ran off." Cynder says to Terrador as Maria and Guardian check up on Spyro.
"I saw him. He left the Tempe. He's heading for Warfang." The guard that saw Valavadorog says to Terrador as he runs into the room.
"This is not good. Send a group of men. Tell them to bring Valavadorog back dead or alive." Terrador says to the guard.
"What you're not going to kill him are you?" Cynder asks.
"If that is necessary Cynder then we will do so." Cyril says to Cynder.
"But you can't just kill my brother. He deserves to explain himself." Cynder says to Cyril and Terrador.
"He's a threat Cynder. Look at what he did to Spyro. If he cannot be captured then he must be killed before he can harm anyone else." Terrador explains as Cynder looks at Spyro who was on a table where Guardian and Maria could check on him.
"But there has to be another way. Like Guardian said he's not violent. At least give him a chance to explain himself." Cynder says begging Terrador and Cyril.
"I'm sorry Cynder. When it comes to it it's better to save a thousand then to save the life of one. He's a threat and he must be secured before he can harm anyone else." Terrador says to Cynder.
Terrador then leaves the room leaving Cyril behind in the room. Cynder thinks for a couple of seconds then realizes something.
"Guardian is Spyro well enough to speak?" Cynder asks Guardian.
"Not at the moment. We just injected him with a healing agent. It has knocked him out." Guardian tells Cynder.
"How long until he wakes up?" Cynder asks.
"About an hour or so." Guardian says.
"Cyril can you stop Terrador?" Cynder asks Cyril.
"I don't really know. Terrador is stubborn and he never really has listened to me." Cryil says back to Cynder.
"Tell him that he should let Spyro explain what happened. Maybe that will prove that he's not a threat to anyone." Cynder says to Cyril.
Cyril then runs out of the room trying to catch up with Terrador who was already half way to Warfang with two Dragon guards with him. Cynder hopes that Cyril is able to talk some since into Terrador who has never trusted Valavadorog since he arrived. She walks over to Spyro who was knocked out by the sedative that Guardian had given him. She hopes that the worst doesn't happen to Valavadorog.
This chapter like I said is actually where the story begins. Why do you think the reason Valavadorog turned against Spyro. Do you think that he is a villian or just a lost hero. Depends doesn't it? All the action and adventure continues on the next chapter. Also if you think that Valavadorog had a theme song what do you think it would be for this chapter? I have found one but I want to know what you think. PM me if you want to tell me your thoughts or if you just want to know more.
