One of three consecutive updates for Fire and Ice, why am I doing this because I hoping this will move the story a long a little faster because I can't/Won't post TG2 until this is done at least in its entirety but you will get a preview


I own nothing except the stuff I made up


LIV: The one who is Dragon but does not know

Solria stared out into the vast broken and dry land that awaited her. "Look at this place it's so dead, I can barely feel the mana coming through this place." Solria muttered in sad awe.

"That's because Mana has an easier time manifesting itself through organic material it looks like there's no plants in that area." Bianca replied.

"Shelia do you know why this land is the way it is?" Hunter asked the Mountian Kangaroo who nodded.

"It's just a legend but they say that this place used to be the kingdom of the Golem King." Shelia stated.

"Golem King?!" Solria and Koryu stated together.

"We've fought Golems they're supposed to be creatures that embody death and destruction." Koryu stated.

"And that doesn't change here." Shelia replied grimly. "The Golem King claimed this land as his own using his own strength he turned this place into a barely habitable waste land, and he sought to do the same to all the lands including the Dragon realms. But the Dragon's wouldn't have it lead by a great hero the Dragons rose up and destroyed him much to the horror and anger of his subjects they've declared war on the living ever since."

"Whoa….and Malefor brought them up knowing this really?!" Sparx shouted. "Didn't he hear about this or the fact they were ready to gobble him up when the time was right?!"

"Many of the legends we have never get to the Dragon realms there are rumors that there was a purple Dragon in this world who wasn't Malefor." Koz replied.

"Or Spyro simply because it was impossible," Koryu added.

"A third psycho purple Dragon greeeeaaaat," Sparx moaned as they walked down the path unaware they were being watched.

Hunter's ears perked and he looked over at an area. "Somethings here." He muttered.

Suddenly fire rushed at them making them duck. "AHHH!" they screamed.

It was then large blowing blurs rushed at them Solria flew up just to try to get a glimpse of how many there were Sparx did it just to get the heck out of dodge, not knowing that had saved them from being bagged with the rest of the others. "HEY! Come on Sparx!" Solria stated flying after them Sparx following desperate to keep up.

"Solria slow down!" Sparx cried the two raced through the Bad Lands eventually coming to a large stream of geysers. "This could've been a river at one point which really sucks for us! How do we get around?"

"We don't." Solria replied robotically.

"Solria?!" Sparx asked in shock.

"Go we go across." Solria finished determined.

"WAHHHHHHAAAT?!" Sparx screamed.

"Just hold on to me!" Solria told him.

"Okay." He whimpered holding on to her horns instantly Solria charged into the dead river using her powers to sense when the gyesers were going to explode it wasn't the greatest but she was able to avoid the gysers.

"WAHHHHHAAAAAAAA STOP THE RIDE, STOP THE RIDE!" Sparx screamed as Solria leaped under a burst of hot water.

She zig, zagged around dodging Gyesers at the last minute, she saw one last big one between her and the other side she leapt over it her sense tingled and Sparx heard the rumble.

"YEIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" he shrieked loudly Solria turned around and launched a Rocket shot sending them careening a few feet over the river bed and into the ground ahead of them. Solria groaned shaking her head and finding herself and Sparx unscathed.

"YEAH ALRIGHT!" she cheered.

"Uughhhhuuuuuhh." Sparx moaned falling off her horns. She smiled and picked him up and let him lay on her nose flying through the rest of the area.

"Koryu, Raiciel, where'd they take you?" she asked in a worried tone.

FAI FAI FAI

An hour of flying with Sparx flying beside her and she suddenly saw something ahead of her, "smoke?"

"Hey down there!" Sparx stated pointing at a large cave.

"That must be it, I hope that's it," she stated landing a few feet from the cave entrance off to the side.

Once she was close enough she peered over into the cave Sparx hovering over her head peered in aswell. Inside where large red and gold, dragon like creatures about twice her size but with no wings however there was a Dragon her age among them.

"Anything we can use?" The Dragon asked.

"There is some food and blankets but it's mostly potions and weapons, looks like this group was making the trek out past Aradia.

"Aradia?" Solria hissed.

"Where are Koryu and the others?" Sparx whispered.

"I don't know; they must be there somewhere though." Solira assured.

"Flame," Said one of the Dragons "Are you sure we got everyone?"

The Dragon thought for a moment. "No I don't think we did…."

Solria and Sparx blanched she suddenly looked at her bag, "Crap." They muttered.

"They might be on their way here," Said another lizard.

"We should find them." Said another larger than the rest with long silver horns "Flame, take a couple of scouts and search for them."

"Yes, sir," Flame replied, "Sorch, Blaze you're with me let's go!"

"Right." the two replied following him out at blinding speed, covered in fire passing Solria who had ducked behind some rocks.

"So that's it…." Solria muttered as Sparx peaked out of her backpack.

However Solria was suddenly slammed down by someone. "Solria!" Sparx shouted. It was the Dragon of the group.

"Clever to bad you didn't know Slamanders can detect heat.

"Salamander? You're a Dragon!" Solria protested before biting on his leg with a yelp the other Dragon Flame jumped off her.

"Where are our friends!?" Solria snarled.

"I'd be concerned about myself and the little Gnat if I were you." Flame retorted.

"GNAT?!" Sparx snapped but the other Slamanders instantly jumped out and surrounded them.

"You're in no position to demand," Said the leader.

"I think I am actually!" Solria stated snarling fire smoking from her maw.

Sparx grinned. "Or we could you know talk this out!" he suggested everyone stared apathetically at him. "No, maybe, Okay never mind." He stated lowering himself by Solria's shoulder.

"Where are my friends?" the Dragoness growled in a threatening tone.

"We dumped them in the desert somewhere, if actually managed to follow us here, then you passed them on the way," Said the leader.

Solria's face suddenly got bug eyed with her jaw hitting the dirt. "I thought I saw them…."

"WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING?" Solria shrieked.

Sparx cowered but she merely snorted fire. "Solria!" Koryu suddenly called landing beside her with Raiciel, with the rest of the group bringing up the rear.

"Never speak of what I did again!" Solria growled.

"Fair enough." Koryu stated his eyes now locked on Blaze as well.

"What are you looking at Snow Dragon?" Blaze asked.

"You what are you teaming up with them for?" Koryu asked coolly.

"Don't you know a Salamander when you see one oh that's right you're those guys from the other side there are rumors flying around like mad that you took out Ripto." Flame stated.

"That is correct so do you see as enemies?" Hunter asked calmly.

"No, of course not, in fact we fully welcomed it." Said the Salamander beside Blaze Sorch Solria believed his name was he was a darker red with a couple of face scars and his fins were more of a rust color.

"Then why attack us?" Bianca inquired.

"We just want your possessions, why we do is something we don't have to explain to the likes of you!" Flame snorted.

"You're a Dragon! Dragons are supposed to treat all species of the world with the respect you Salamder's only give each other!" Gea snapped disgusted by his attitude.

"I AM a Salamder! So I don't have to apply to your rules!" Flame snapped.

"Then what do you call these?" Solria asked pulling on his wings making one of them fan out he snarled and whacked her away.

"Those are abnormal growths that move on their own." Flame snarled. "Thanks for showing everyone." He added with a sarcastic hiss.

"Uh growths that move on their own and are abnormal would've killed you at this point." Koryu stated blinking his mind straying into gruesome imagination.

Kinzo growled. "You on the other hand are the exception to the rule, because you're not a Salamder! The only reason you are similar to them, is because you're a fire Dragon!"

Flame snarled but suddenly the older one stepped in front an almost black dark red with rusted gold his silver horns standing tall. "Flame there's something I had been meaning to tell you tonight, do you remember?"

"Yeah…." Flame stated as the two went into the cave the Salamanders dispersed.

Solria now calm was suddenly swamped with guilt. "I messed up didn't I?"

"Yeah, but you did have help." Koryu added. "I shouldn't have said anything."

"Neither should we." Gea added.

"Well should we do damage control I mean I'd like to find out why these guys were stealing everything." Sparx stated.

"Salamanders aren't exactly polite to anyone but their own kind as Gea said." Shelia said. "But they always have their reasons for better or worse."

"Maybe we can help them then?" Raiciel asked, he noticed Sparx staring. "I said maybe depending solely on the situation." Sparx didn't say anything he just did an, I'm-watching-you gesture and slowly backed away making Raiciel roll his eyes.

"If you're gonna butt in you might as well. Flame will be speaking with his dad inside by now." Said Sorch showing them in the cave, the group entered and found Blaze sitting with his father Volcaro.

"They spoke the truth son I didn't tell you for so long because you weren't old enough to understand until now, and I was going to tell you just before nightfall, however they were spotted and because they were moving quickly we couldn't postpone tonight's raid." Volcaro replied.

"Okay just get to the point already! Am I a Salamander or a Dragon?" he asked.

"Sixteen years ago, Gaul and his apes attacked the Dragon Temple in the Dragon realms the lands that neighbor this one, on the orders of Malefor, the Dark Master. However they were also ordered to steal two other eggs. I was passing through when their hooting caught my attention. There was an Ape with your egg in his hands he was going to give it to Gaul suggestion as one of the eggs I instantly killed him and took your egg I thought maybe it was just a theft job little did I know it was flat out Genocide."

"What?" Flame asked horrified. "But why?"

"He wanted to make sure our friend Spyro was never born, he was the purple Dragon and Malefor feared his power." Hunter told them as they came in.

"And for good reason," Solria added hotly. "That psycho almost destroyed our world for no other reason than to supposedly cleanse it he summoned a terrible Golem known as the Destroyer. Luckily Spyro was able to reverse the entire effect."

"The revivial of Apocropha," Volcaro hissed in fear almost as if he had seen a ghost.

"Okay fine but I still wanna know why he wanted two eggs." Flame snapped in frustration feeling things were getting off track.

"The Prison the ancestors sealed him in, could only be open by one that born in the year of the Dragon, we have clutches of eggs every two years but the year of the Dragon happens every twelve. To top it off the portal would only appear during that time." Raiciel replied.

"It was the year of the Dragon when we first met Spyro!" Koryu stated.

"Correct." Raiciel replied. "I hate to get off track but explaining how the Zodiac works for us, is the only way for this to make sense there are twelve animals for each new star year, the bull, the sheep, the dog, the monkey, the rat, the snake, the tiger, the rooster, the rabbit, the horse, the pig and the Dragon. There are many creatures of shapes and sizes in our world some of which benefit from this star year."

"Dragons born this year are said to be more powerful during then the ones born any other star year the same is true for Cheetahs who get blessings from the year of the Tiger." Gea added.

"There's also the case that because of the spell that was put on him it's required that any Dragon who takes over the role of Guardians from their predecessors." Koryu added.

"That doesn't sound fair." Flame snorted.

"No it not, but it's because the spells the guardians have to use together like the one used to seal Malefor require that kind of power no one's figured out how they work that way for now…we're kind of stuck with it." Raiciel noted.

Flame noted. "Hmm, I guess you want that special Hocus pocus only the stars can give." He said nonchalantly.

"It's saved the world and our race way to many times not to be that important there are scholar dragons trying to see if they can pass on the magic but there are complications." Gea replied.

"Like?" Solria asked.

"Ethical and dangerous to a dragon's body stuff," Gea replied.

"This has all been intriguing but I really don't care." Flame replied.

"What, you can't say you're not the least bit interested!" Sparx stated.

"Not me." Flame stated walking off.

Everyone stared, with sympathy Flame was spring vaulted into this and his world had basically exploded now when he left his father sighed.

"Don't take it so hard my son is complicated he needs time to accept what has happened he always tries to mask his emotions so-"

"No, no!" Solria stated. "Don't apologize at all if anything we didn't exactly do good shouting the fact at him."

"On top of that, everythin' he knew just went topsy turvy." Bentely added.

"Perhaps you can answer a few questions for us why are you stealing from people who pass through here Volcaro?" Hunter asked.

"Follow me." The Salamander merely said the group followed him for a few minutes before seeing a large canyon with a bunch of travelers and their families deep inside it. they were surrounded by massive rocks in every direction they could've taken.

"They're trapped!" Bianca gasped.

"Yes and the Geysers in the hanging cliff faces above the gorge, makes it impossible to climb out we've been having, to give them food and warmth but it's not enough they need to get back to their village." Valcaro explained.

"What can we do?" Solria asked as Koryu stared for a while something cooking in his head.

"I've got it! But we need your help!" Koryu suddenly stated.

FAI FAI FAI

Flame was laying in the cave by himself thinking he stared at his wins growled and looking away. The next thing he saw were Valcaro's feet. "What's up?" Flame asked.

"We have a plan to get the trapped villagers out of the canyon." Valcaro told him.

"You do how!?" Flame asked.

Later he was with Solria's group and the rest of the Salamanders. "Okay we know that all the exits are blocked and geysers on the edge of the cliff face make climbing impossible. "So we're gonna clear the front path."

"The Salamanders weren't able to do it due to fear of the citizens they could've easily melted the rocks but that would result in Magma leaking into the valley." Koryu stated.

"And what makes your plan different?" Flame asked.

"With Bianca's help we're going to make a trench that will move the rocks into a small raven on the other side." Koryu explained once it's ready Gea and Kinzo will blast the rocks in precisely the right point sending them down like a slide, you guys get it?" he asked.

There were murmurs of agreement. "Good let's get going!" Koryu stated.

The group gathered near the inside of the trench and started doing anything they could to dig out watching them was the Sorceress. "Oh someone is trying to free those traitors I think I'll wait till they're hope is at its peak." She replied.

Eventually the trench got bigger and bigger. "That should do!" Koryu stated.

"Okay Kinzo Gea it's all you!" Solria shouted.

The sorceress chuckled as the two charged up their earth bombs just as they launched the Sorceress cast a spell making them yelp and aim one degree higher than where they were supposed to aim. "OH NO!" Gea shouted.

Kinzo turned and saw the retreating figure going right after it. "STOP!" he shouted. for the most part most of the rocks went down the trench however one jumped out and was headed right towards a small girl cheetah who screamed.

"NO!" Flame shouted rushing towards it running as fast as he paws could carry him he ran desperately. "I'm not gonna make it, I'm not…RAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Flame screamed his wings suddenly surged open and he took off soaring and grabbing her and moving out of the way just as the bolder had struck.

"GRR!" the Sorceress growled before she was suddenly attacked by an Earth Flail. Seeing Kinzo snarl and lunge at her she quickly disappeared.

"Darn!" he hissed however he smiled when he saw Flame bring the girl back to her parents.

With the trench refilled and the way clear the villagers made their way out.

"You should head to Aradia and defeat the sorceress, she won't be happy to see their return." Volcaro noted.

"I think she knows already she tried to kill some of them by messing up our angle." Kinzo growled.

"So, it wasn't our fault?" Gea asked in surprise and relief.

"No she had to make us miss but used enough power to make it look like we were off." Kinzo replied.

"And dealing with Ripto wasn't enough because?" Sparx asked in annoyance.

"All I can tell you is that she rules the lands beyond this one." Volcaro stated.

The Salamanders returned their stuff to them. "Wait I'm going too." Flame asked.

"Why?" Sparx asked.

"I don't have to tell you!" Flame hissed.

Solria in understanding nodded. "Alright let's go." She stated.

"I'll be back soon." Flame told his father. "Thank you." he replied as the two nuzzled and with that he joined the others.

"You do need some flying lessons though that way you can pull off rescues whenever you like." Koryu joked.

"We'll see." Flame muttered with a scoff.


Yeah Salamanders are naturally jerky on the outside nice on the inside, I'll explain more differences as the story goes on and thus an older Character from the Spyro Franchise makes his appearance
