Leonis opened his eyes slowly and looked straight ahead from within his building. The eyes of the original purple dragon were wet with growing tears. Leonis blinked once and whispered. " Caprica. I'm so sorry. I'm so so sorry."
Reach landed hard outside the building he last saw Leonis. Rage filled him to the brim as he stormed through the doors and shouted. " LEONIS!" Leonis sat facing the wall away from Reach and cracked one eye open but closed it again, as if he new Reach was coming. Reach stalked through the doors and kept his eyes on Leonis as he walked around to look at his face. " They took her."
" I know." Said Leonis without the slightest hint of sadness or guilt.
Reach's eyes widened as he stood now glaring at Leonis. " You … you what"
Leonis opened his eyes but did not move. He stayed seated and drifted his head lazily to Reach. " I know she was taken."
" What do you mean you know she was taken?" Bellowed Reach.
" Simple, I know nearly everything-"
" I don't believe that for a second. Now you held back last time when telling me about the purple dragons didn't you?" Reach waited but Leonis didn't reply. Reach continued. " I want you to tell me who that was right now and DON'T! Say you don't know."
Leonis continued looking at Reach. His age showing. Leonis turned back to the wall and closed his eyes. " That was Aerilon, as i'm sure you know. He told you his age?"
" Yes."
" Well it will come as no surprise for you to find out that he is a purple dragon. One of six actually. Including me. Reach, all of the purple dragons are alive and working with Spyro-"
" Wait wait wait wait … you mean to say you sent me out their with my sister knowing full well that there were four purple dragons out there. Not counting Spyro?"
" Yes."
Reach felt the heat in him begin to bubble over and rage build. Reach spat through clenched teeth. " Tell me. Who are they and were they are."
Leonis opened an eye but closed it again and nodded. " Very well. There are six of us in total. You know me and Spyro and that fool Malefor. That leaves three left. You just met Aerilon in the village and he is the predecessor of Malefor. The ones you haven't met are Gemenon and Virgon. Gemenon being over one thousand and the purple dragon before Aerilon. While Virgon is turning two thousand and one within the week and is the purple dragon after me. The second one."
Reach let this new information churn around in his head. He didn't like the sounds of five fully powered purple dragon working against him. " So how do you expect me to face them. I'll need-"
" I can't." Interrupted Leonis.
" You didn't here what I was going to ask."
" Clearly. But the fact that you were about to ask me that you need my powers says otherwise."
Reach stared in astonishment. " But you promised."
" I said no such thing. I told you I would give my power but I did not promise. An issue has arisen and I cannot give you my powers."
" WHAT!" Screamed Reach at the top of his lungs. Reach stood shaking with anger and words were failing him. Reach gouged his eyes into the dragon before him with pure hatred for him. " Why!" Whispered Reach in an effort to keep his voice contained.
Leonis finally opened his eyes but Reach saw that they were different. " I'm sorry Reach. I am … terribly sorry."
" That's it-"
" Reach. I sent you to that village. I sent you their knowing who would go with you. I sent you their … knowing the outcome."
Reach, having forgotten all about gaining Leonis' powers gave a startled yelp. " You new. You new they would take Caprica."
Leonis rose from his sitting position and it was the first time Reach noticed how tall and fierce he could look. Leonis stared into the eyes of Reach. " A necessary loss."
Reach stopped. The three words hitting him like a nothing he had ever felt. " What."
" I had to let Spyro take someone that was connected to a dragon I can confer with. If that said dragon is to say, be killed by Spyro or harmed. I will be set free from this prison and will be able to destroy all five of my descendants once and for all."
Reach didn't want to here and turned to walk away. Leonis didn't follow him but only stared at the wall and said after him. " I'm doing this for the realms. I'm better doing this."
Reach turned his head half around and looked at Leonis with hurt. " You're no better than Spyro himself." Reach turned around and flew out without looking back. Leonis stared at the wall for a moment then slowly sat down and faced back at the wall. He looked up for a moment and had tears in his eyes.
" Then I shall not leave. If you want to save her so much you may save her. But I will never leave this building. I wish you the best with fighting the darkness Reach. for this is the last day you will see me. Perhaps you will find a way. I will forever be sorry. You must know that. This is goodbye."
Leonis then spoke only one word. Vanish. The building in which he was in then disappeared
A/N: Short one today. but still a chapter done. I'm not going to say anything but i'm sure the chapter speaks for itself.
No Leonis... T_T
