Spyro had just got back to the dragon temple. Ignitus and Cynder were both surprised that Spyro had chosen to go out so late. But they were even more surprised at the story he had to tell from his short adventure outside…
"I swear that is what I saw!" Spyro yelled in frustration at the others not believing him.
"Spyro you have been on a rough journey these past weeks. It is not that I don't trust you it is just that this is a highly preposterous story you are telling," Ignitus replied. It was now that Sparx heard the commotion and flew in.
"What is going on?" he asked. He was told the story as well and he only looked at Spyro with a very puzzled look on his face.
"Look Spyro you really should get your eight hours of sleep. I mean look at you! You're starting to see things. Now despite what I have seen in our past adventure this is ridiculous!" Sparx continued. Spyro just sighed at that point realizing that no one would believe him.
Escora looked around at his surroundings from high up in the air. Everything about the landscape he once knew was different. Plants had grown and new geographical features had also formed in places he never saw them before. Due to all this new information he was taking in Escora almost overlooked the dragon temple in plain sight. While it had been severely damaged from the last time he ever saw it he still recognized it and what creatures might be walking around inside.
Inside Ignitus didn't want to leave anything to chance so he looked into the pool of visions to see if he could find this mysterious figure that Spyro claimed to have seen. When he looked inside he could see nothing but he knew that something was wrong. The pool was being deliberately blocked by some unknown force. He looked outside but Escora blended in perfectly against the night sky. He decided to stay out for the night just in case anything bad did happen.
All was silent as the environment turned almost pitch black. The only light coming from the numerous torches that were lit around the temple. It was then that the roof of the room Ignitus was in turned slightly darker just before it explosively shattered into hundreds of small rocks raining down over Ignitus just before Escora came diving in. He landed on Ignitus's back and Escora immediately started clawing into him. Ignitus ran backward to smash Escora into a wall but he jumped off of his back and then fired a shadow beam at Ignitus. He countered it with a fire blast but Escora was simply stronger. After hearing the explosion Spyro, Cynder, and Sparx all came running in and they all stared in shock as they realized that Spyro was telling the truth and now Ignitus was under attack.
"We have to help him!" Spyro said as he ran toward Ignitus.
"No Spyro you must get away from here as soon as possible!" Ignitus quickly replied. Spyro wanted to help but he knew Ignitus was right so he ran. Escora took notice of the purple and black dragon and couldn't remember ever seeing one. This was enough to convince him that Ignitus could wait. He jumped forward and ran after Spyro.
"He's chasing us!" Sparx yelled flying through the hallways as fast as he could.
"Yeah, no kidding. Cynder you go left and I'll go straight." Spyro said.
"But-," Cynder protested.
"Just go!" Spyro ordered. Cynder knew not to argue so she turned left at the next hallway. Escora went after Spyro since he knew it would be easier to follow the one going straight. He began to get closer to Spyro and he started slashing at him. Spyro's old instincts kicked in and he began to fly through the hallways instead of running. He shot a large fireball into the ceiling and a shower of large stones came raining down. Spyro was just able to fly under them but they block the hall for Escora. The rocks turned dark just before exploding again but by the time the dust cleared Spyro, Cynder, and Ignitus had all left the temple in different directions.
"Argh! Dang it!" Escora yelled in anger as he punched the wall leaving a large hole where his fist made contact. He looked around at the rest of the temple and then he laughed at himself.
"And so the hunt begins." He said just before leaving the temple.
IMPORTANT: I'm sorry everyone if I sound a little impatient with this request but I need some reviews. I joined to improve my writing ability while doing something I love. I cannot improve my writing though unless somebody tells me how I am doing or if I am doing something wrong and if so, what? I have noticed that my story has been getting read quite often in the first chapter but by the time I get to this most recent chapter barely more than 10% of those people keep reading. This is clear proof that people just don't like the style that I write in currently. I know I can't please everyone but I would greatly appreciated if you all would at least tell me what you think of the story and more importantly tell me what I can do to improve. Thank you.
