Chapter 7: Tyranus's Poison
Mark woke up, groggy and tired; he was confused and wondered where he was when he remembered about the party last night. He looked up and saw Yulie sleeping above him, he then remembered they left the party and both fell asleep under a tree. "Wow, that was some party last night" he said. He got up and realized he was in his wolf form, he turned back to human mode and looked at Yulie; he smiled and crouched next to her.
"Hey, wake up. Its morning" he whispered. Yulie groaned and opened her eyes. "M-Mark?" she asked tired. "Yeah, you fell asleep during the party" he told her as she got up. Now wide awake she remembered about last night, when she remembered about them falling asleep cuddling each other she blushed. "Where's everyone?" she asked him. Mark looked around "Over there" he said pointing towards the villagers cleaning up the mess from last night.
The couple went towards the villagers and found Sedro and the others waiting for them. "Well, it appears you all had a good time last night" Hunter's father pointed out. They nodded. "How's your wound Mark?" he asked to Mark. "It's alright, it doesn't hurt as much now" he said, hand over his chest. "Well, now that Zardus is no more we can begin to continue our lives again" he said. "Your welcome here anytime you wish" Kane said. "Though you might wanna do something about that mosquito" He muttered to Spyro. Spyro chuckled "Don't worry, we will" he told him.
Sparx looked confused "What'd he say?" he asked Spyro. "Nothing" he replied grinning. Hunter's father told Sedro of an island to the east. The island was inhabited with some humans who also crossed over; they all took this with great interest. "They are preparing to hold a Council of Kings in the Imperial City, if you hurry you can be able to reach it before it starts, I already sent a messenger hawk to tell them" he explained. "Thank you, we'll head there as soon as possible" Sedro said and took off. The others thanked him and flew off behind Sedro. "Hunter, take care of yourself." His father told him. "I will" he said and went with the others.

Tyranus watched them fly off to the Human's lands. "So there are more of them?" he said curiously. "But now its time for my poison to take affect" he said, the pool's image turned to Mark who was flying behind his father and brother. "Now, let the nightmare begin!" he called and waved a hand over the pool. The water turned a dark green color and surrounded Mark's image, Tyranus laughed an insane laugh his poison had begun its work.

The group merrily flew over the ocean towards the humans land. "I wonder what the Imperial City is like." Mark wondered. "I hope we can get there before Heldar finds us." Sedro says. "Me too." Spyro added. They continued to fly over the ocean when Mark became dizzy, he held his head and looked at his father, his vision was getting blurry and his chest began to hurt again.
W…What's happening to me? He thought why? Why does my heart hurt with every beat? Spyro noticed Mark acting strangely "you alright Mark?" he asked. "Y…Yeah, just a little…" he didn't finish when he suddenly collapsed and plummeted to the ocean. "Mark!" Spyro shouted. The other saw Mark crash into the ocean, water shot upward when he fell down. "NO!!" Sedro yelled in horror.
--
Mark felt water around him; everything went deaf in his ears. Is this… he thought as he descended downward into the dark depths of the ocean … The End? He soon passed out and knew no more.

Sedro dived down and grabbed his son from the ocean. He was knocked out, his hair wet from the water. "Mark, say something!" he father pleaded. There was no reply. "Sedro!" Spyro called out as they hovered towards them. "We need to find land and fast" he said and took off, water sprayed as he launched himself to the sky. They followed him to an island where hunter's father said the humans lived.
They landed in a plain later that day, the sun was over their heads, and Sedro dropped his son next to him. "What could have done this to you?" he asked to his sleeping son. Spyro remembered when Tyranus sliced him "Tyranus" he muttered. "What?" Sedro asked looking at him. "Tyranus, when he sliced him back in Avalar his claw was glowing green. Maybe he poisoned him with that attack and now it's taking over him" Spyro said.
"That bastard!" Sedro roared. As they had begun to discuss about what to do next Cynder walked over to Mark. He was sweating; his skin was pale white and he breathing in shallow, short breaths. She removed his shirt and saw the scar Tyranus gave him glow green. She placed a paw over the wound and began to draw the poison out of him. Sparx noticed her strange behavior and flew over to her. "Cynder?" he asked. She ignored him "Cynder?" he asked again. She still ignored him and continued to draw the poison. "Yo, earth to evil dragoness, hey can you hear me?" he asked flying into her face.
Spyro and the others noticed Cynder's odd behavior. "Cynder, what are you doing?" Spyro asked. They saw a dark green liquid come from Mark's wound, Cynder then took an empty vial and put the poison in it. Instantly the color on Mark's face returned, his breathing deepened and he stopped sweating.
They gaped in awe at Cynder's action. "What- How did you?" they where all that spyro could ask. "I guess I learned it when I touched the stone" Cynder said. Yulie crouched next to Cynder and hugged her "Thank you" she said crying. Cynder felt pity for her and patted her back "He'll be alright, but" she told her, both let go of each other and stared at Mark "I don't know what the poison did to him or how long it lasts" she said.
They soon crowded around Mark, all with worried looks on their faces, the poison was gone, but Mark wasn't waking up.

Meanwhile Tyranus watched as his poison was taken out of Mark, he was in such a rage he started to attack and destroy everything in frenzy. Mephiles managed to restrain him from killing a couple of apes that just came in. "Calm down man!" he yelled. Tyranus calmed down. "Good, but even though the poison didn't kill him, the devil's shade is taking its effect" he mentioned.
His claws where hollow so he could hold poison, which he used against Mark; the poison he used had traces of devil's shade, a rare plant that will cause a person to go into a living nightmare-like sleep. "Yes" Tyranus said calmed down "With the devil's shade he'll go into a nightmare, but what I want to know is, what will he dream of?" he wondered. "We shall wait and see" Mephiles told him.

What will become of Mark now that he is under the Devil's shade's influence? What will become of our heroes? Tune in to find out.
