Well I know one of my readers have been waiting for this after this chapter Koryu will finally be on level with Solria and Spyro…well as level as you can be with the purple Dragon
I own nothing except the stuff I made up
VII- Relying on fault
Cyril had been told about all that had happened in his absent he seemed happy that Koryu had survived and was breathing ice however the same couldn't be said about listening to Volteer.
"Yes, yes Volteer I see months of torturous captivity have done nothing to stop that electric tongue of your from incessantly wagging." Cyril muttered in an annoyed tone.
"Oh but it's just so exciting, enchanting, enthralling, thrilling um mm!" Volteer stated happily.
"Alright no more thesaurus, for you pal." Sparx muttered.
"We should get you a thesaurus Sparx that way you can you can understand what Volteer is saying." Solria chirped.
"What and make my brain explode?!" the little Dragonfly stated.
"Aw come on Sparx learning won't do that." Koryu cheerfully assured.
"And you know this how chief?" Sparx muttered.
"ALL OF YOU PLEASE BE QUIET! It's certainly encouraging that Spyro and his friends have managed to free two of you to allow this reunion but haven't we forgotten someone?" Ignitus stated hinting not to celebrate just yet.
"Yes, yes of course, Terrador!" Cyril stated.
"Precisely now how to proceed" Ignitus replied.
"I believe I can help Ignitus." Cyril offered turning to Koryu and Spyro. "Well young chaps since you've learned a few things about ice in Crystal caves and Tall plains I suggest we adjourn to the training room so that I can teach you some more the legacy of the great Ice dragons of yore my ancestors who come from the best of the best of this somewhat-"
"UHHHGG BORED!" Solria loudly groaned but instantly knew what she had done and went into a toad bowing position "Gasp I'm sorry Cyril!" she muttered.
The Ice Dragon merely glared and turned to his two students, "Shall we?" he asked leaving with them.
"Sorry it's an old habit I thought I finally kicked." Solria told the remaining guardians.
"As rude as it was young Dragoness I'm glad you spoke up, Cyril's pomposity, arrogance and pretentiousness is odious to the extreme." Volteer replied.
In the training room which Solria watched through a crack in the door in order to avoid Cyril for a while since she cut him off when he was talking,
"Sure fire and electricity are nice sidelights." Cyril instructed.
"Fire a side light?" Solria thought her tail twitching and suddenly feeling less guilty.
"But now young dragons you will learn the secrets of ice a power truly worthy of the elite!" Cyril stated as they got to work.
Spyro and Koryu worked on their ice element they chased dummies and froze them with their ice breath then they learned how to do and Ice spikes attack which slowed foes and allowed them to attack quickly.
Next came something that was similar to the fire bomb the polar bomb which went farther the longer it charged they practiced using it behind an ice barrier shooting targets in a line trying to increase the distance each time it sort of reminded Solria of the Fire bomb training she and Spyro did.
Then there was Ice tail a move that would clear out any crowd by freezing them and sending them into the air where they were instantly air meleed.
Last was the most difficult move called snow storm it required Spyro and Koryu to spin around and round while releasing ice shards that struck foes they could even move around when using the move.
It took them about a half hour to finally get it down Cyril finally went on to the next move the Ice fury the two absorbed enough purple crystals from the small foes and were able to pull off move after some focus.
Solria shook her head and fell back from the door when she got a face full of ice. Shaking her head she watched as snow swirled around the now rising statue.
"You have harnessed the element of Ice something few can boast with its help rescuing Terrador should be a certainty." Cyril told them as the statue finished Solria moved from the door and pretended to be sleeping as the Ice Guardian passed.
She 'woke up' when Spyro and Koryu passed.
"So you enjoy the show?" Koryu asked,
"Yeah you guys were great, but where do you think Terrador is and what element he wields?" Solria asked.
"We won't know till Ignitus sees him in the pool of visions." Spyro replied.
"Right" Koryu agreed as the two boys left however Solria lagged behind she sat down pondering Raiciel's words.
She sat for what felt like eternally, before Ignitus finally walked in.
"Am I like them?" she asked catching the attention of the Fire Guardian.
"Raiciel and Cynder." She muttered "I've killed the apes in her army and several other creatures, frogweeds, the ghouls in Dante's Freezer." She stated tears threating to fall.
"Killing is a horrible thing, but rest assured young dragon you are nothing like them." Ignitus assured.
"How am I not, I'm defending myself but Raiciel said that was no excuse" She replied trailing off.
"True you are fighting in self-defense but there is more as I told Koryu and Spyro." Ignitus replied.
"They came to you about this first?" she asked.
Ignitus nodded, "After the events of Dante's freezer, I'm surprised you weren't right behind them, as I was saying you are fighting in self-defense, but there is more and I think you know what." Ignitus stated.
Solria thought about Bianca and her parents sure they weren't her real family no they were maybe she'd track down her biological parents someday but they were the ones she loved, they took care of her put up with her antics loved her just as Koryu did someone had threatened them.
"I'm fighting to protect my family!" she stated letting a fire grow and burn within her.
"Ignitus thank you." She replied leaving and going out to the balcony to see the stars.
"Something on your mind" Spyro asked.
"Nothing I didn't take care of, I wish I had known you guys had talked to Ignitus a couple nights before though, it would've saved me a lot of grief." She muttered.
"I'm surprised Koryu didn't tell you." Spyro replied.
"I'm not, he probably figured I do it today, sorry he annoyed with the whole it's not real thing."
"It gets on your nerves?" Spyro asked.
"Yeah, he's always got to be right about everything and everything has to have a reason for being so but in a way I rely on that, it helps me see what's, what and he was right I am fighting in self-defense and he wasn't the right person to talk to about how I felt about it."
"Ignitus was perfect though." Spyro pointed out.
"Yes he was I think me and my brother balance each other." Solria stated curling up under the stars to go to sleep as Spyro left it was a warm night in the summer and it reminded her of the nights were she, Koryu and Bianca went outside to sleep.
"When we've rescued the final guardian, I'll ask Ignitus if he can see them, they must be worried, I'm sorry mom, dad, Bianca."
FAI FAI FAI
"So what are you saying exactly Ignitus?" Cyril asked as the sun rose in the sky with everyone gathered around the pool of visions.
"Yes your hypothesis is intriguing, but perplexing to the extreme." Volteer added.
"Huh?" Sparx asked.
"He said he doesn't know what Ignitus is talking about." Spyro explained.
"Dude I never know what he's saying." Sparx replied.
"We do." Koryu chirped.
"What I am saying is, is that Cynder and Raiciel are harnessing our power, trying to open a portal that must never be opened." Ignitus stated gravely.
"Why what's behind this portal?" Spyro asked,
"That doesn't concern you young dragons, what does concern you is getting to Munitions Forge and freeing Terrador before they can create another crystal from his power." Ignitus stated.
"And before the volcano, BOOOMFF blows its-"Volteer started before Ignitus cut him off.
"That's enough Volteer there's plenty of time, plenty of time." He stated in a way that sounded like he was trying to reassure himself.
"Plenty of time, what we need more time for horrible things to happen to us" Sparx asked in slight horror then sighed, "Oh why didn't we stay in Tall plains, I'm such a big deal there!"
"You never told me what a despot was." Solria said to Koryu,
"Quit complaining Sparx maybe there's a tribe on Munitions Forge you can save." Spyro told him as they left.
"Yeah but there's always something special about the first tribe you save ya know." Sparx replied nostalgically though the feat was only yesterday.
Cool fast update then again it is between levels so it's off to Munitions Forge to rescue Terrador while racing against the clock…then it's off to Karaoke
