Chapter 7:
The eye of the basilisk
The trio had been divided and each taught by a different teacher. Cynder was to be trained by Siskee, Spyro by Magu and Sparx by Magnor. Malefor just sat and watched. Fifty minutes later, the group were dismissed.
"So," Malefor asked. "How did it go?" The dragons collapsed on the floor, with exhaustion.
"Siskee is so harsh!" Cynder groaned. "If my foot is even half of half of half an inch away from the right position, she yells at me and forces me to do ten press-ups!"
"Oh come on!" Spyro rolled his eyes at Cynder. "At least the punishment actually improves your skill! My punishment is writing 'Iway illway otnay ailfay ethay esttay andway aintray everyway ayday'!" Cynder gave him a confused look.
"What does that mean?" She asked.
"How the hell should I know?!" He shouted.
" It means 'I will not fail the test and train every day' in Latin. Magu is a Latin dragon. Idiot."
"Oh." Cynder said. Spyro snorted.
"How stupid is that?" he exclaimed. It was more of a statement than a question.
"Magu can speak English, but doesn't know how to write it. So, he uses Latin instead." Malefor told him.
"Whatever." Spyro shrugged.
"Looks like you two got owned.!" Sparx laughed. Spyro blew fire at him. The dragonfly dodged and flew away. Spyro chased after him, breathing fire and burning the walls of the room. Spyro chased Sparx through into the dojo, where the masters were talking. Upon seeing two students racing through the door, they stopped their chattering. The sight was electrifying. The masters gaped as they saw Spyro chasing Sparx, breathing fire, burning walls, destroying statues and shouting.
"Enough!" Magnor exclaimed, but was interrupted by Spyro's roar of rage. Then, Mexxa fanned her wings and put out the flames. Malefor stormed in. By now, Spyro and Sparx had stopped.
"MALEFOR!" Magnor roared. "YOUR STUDENTS ARE NOW BANNED FROM EVER SETTING FOOT HERE AGAIN!" The group walked out. The sun shone, brightly. Malefor turned to Spyro and Sparx.
"YOU IDIOTS!" He roared. "YOU BLOODY PILLOCS!"
"Come on, it isn't that bad." Sparx said.
"It's very bad!" Malefor roared. "You have just learned how to use the eye of the basilisk and never actually got it!"
"Nope." Sparx smiled. "I stole it." he showed them the trophy.
"Nice." Spyro grinned.
"Hey!" Malefor said, but Cynder interrupted him.
"Let's just go!" She said and they followed Spyro and Sparx to the temple.
***
Spyro snuck into the temple. Finding the prophecy was hard. He looked at shelves of books and stories. He found an odd book called 'the darkness within'. As he read it, he started to feel strange. He wanted to burn stuff. He realised that the book was connecting with his dark side. He thrust the book back onto the shelf. That was when he saw the prophecy scroll. He picked it up and went out.
"Got it!" He announced to the group.
"Cool." Cynder said. Malefor wasn't impressed.
"You stole a trophy and a scroll!" He exclaimed. "Damn, what is this world coming to?"
Suddenly, there was a loud roar and a Wyvern flew over them. It lowered itself and snatched up Spyro. It was Kalas.
"I told you about the talons!" Malefor reminded Spyro.
"Never mind that!" Cynder yelled. "Let's help him!" But before they had even lifted off the ground, Spyro had been taken away, along with the scroll.
"Damn." Malefor cursed. "We're in for it, now."
"Where did they go?" Cynder asked, desperately.
"My guess is…" Malefor thought. "Is Kalas's lair, near mount Wozitbig."
So there you have it! Question time! (There are no previews, sorry!)
Will Cynder stop Kalas?
Will they get the scroll?
What will happen next?
Does Sparx actually know any good jokes?
Next chapter! The next chapter is split in two. Chapter 8 and chapter 9, which is the LAST chapter. *OOOH!*
I can't wait. Can you?
