Yay, new chapter
I write because I love to but the reader's ideas about my stories are just as important to me
Hope you enjoy
The sun shone through the window to Ganet's room as he lazily opened his eyes to see what was happening. He found himself suddenly remembering the events of the previous day but something about the world seemed somehow different to him.
He fully opened his eyes and stretched the full length of his body out on the bed then quickly hopped off and looked around the room and found an odd looking note on a nightstand. He picked up the letter and smiled softly to it.
It was in fact an apology from the very same cheetahs that had tried to attack him twice. Once for a decent enough reason admittedly. The letter read:
"Dear Ganet
We humbly apologise for the misunderstanding between you and our kind, it was wrong of us to wrongly accuse you without even considering that you could have been controlled by a creature under Malefor's control.
We hope that you will accept this apology as one from all of those who doubted you, we must all realise that our one and only true enemy is Malefor and those that serve him willingly.
We do hope that you will forgive us and understand that we no longer see you as the enemy, Malefor has deceived us all.
I shall be leaving this city to help protect my home village from any attacks from Malefor and be as helpful as I can to them.
Our deepest apologies,
Captain Meadow".
Ganet placed the note back onto the nightstand and smiled. He hadn't thought he would ever be forgiven for the things he was made to do. He had scared so many creatures lives that he had felt bound as if locked in a cage of his own emotions.
Now he though, he felt as though it had all been taken off of his shoulders. He walked for the door only to find himself stumbling and falling flat on his snout. He had forgotten that he had been drained of energy.
At that moment the door opened, knocking his head to the side.
"Ow!" he yelped in pain.
Silvana peered round the edge of the door, thinking of leaving him alone but she had to tell him. She had been worried sick about him. She pulled herself together and attempted to speak.
"Ganet I…" Just as the words came out of her mouth Zapper came bursting into the room, knocking over Silvana and slamming the door once again into Ganet's snout. All Ganet was seeing now was Zapper and Silvana's faces rotating round his head.
"Ugh… if you wanted to know how I'm doing, why couldn't you just contain your excitement till after you entered the room?" Ganet said, trying to stand up on his feet. Silvana and Zapper got to their feet and helped him up.
"You shouldn't be up right now young dragon" a voice came from the doorway. Terrador stepped into the room. He continued "You need your rest".
Ganet stood proudly at the sentence "I'm fine, all I need is a little re-training…" The first step he took ended with his face on the floor once again.
Terrador, Zapper and Silvana chuckled.
"You are going nowhere young dragon, least of all into training. Though I commend you for your enthusiasm" he smiled at Ganet and exited through the doorway. "It seems you've been keeping secrets from us young dragon, Ignitus and the others wish to speak with you" Terrador told Ganet before he went downstairs.
Ganet smiled coyly at the fact that they had found out that much.
Silvana snickered. "You tell all your secrets in your sleep, Cyril practically keeled over" She said, laughing some more.
"It was pretty odd. He never seemed to recall having a child" Zapper said snickering.
Ganet suddenly remembered why he had gone to the mountain of Malefor. He felt a rush of disappointment within himself; he hadn't found the one that the Chronicler had spoken of. "Hunter" Ganet spoke.
Silvana and Ganet blinked at the odd statement that Ganet had made and looked worriedly at him and suddenly brightened up as they remembered something.
"Oh!" Silvana shouted excitedly. "There was a Cheetah by that name downstairs just now, if you're quick you'll be able to catch him" she told him, rushing out of the door.
The Chronicler must be losing his touch, Ganet thought as he rushed after Silvana. Zapper followed close behind them.
Ganet bolted down the stairs as fast as he could, when he reached the bottom he saw a cheetah about to collide with him. He tried to stop himself by hooking his tail on the stair railings, at that moment, wondering if the house had been made to suit all creatures, but his tail only served to swing him round and into the side of the stair case.
Hunter stared with mostly disbelief at what had just happened as Zapper, Silvana and Terrador looked over the railing at the top of the stairs.
Silvana spoke, concern in her voice. "Ganet! Are you okay?"
Ganet raised a paw and spoke in a muffled voice. "I… I'm fine… just broke… a few… bones". He grunted as he slid down from the indent he had made in the wall. He lay on the floor and just raised his head, afraid he may break more bones.
Later…
Ganet sat in the sitting room whilst Hunter explained to him and the others what his mission was and how he was to track down Spyro and Cynder.
"We've seen them already. They were in the mountain of Malefor but they've probably been taken by whatever creatures that serve Malefor now" Ganet told hunter in a bored tone.
"What is with you Ganet?" Zapper asked with a concerned look on his face.
Ganet replied with an expression of un-interest "I'm being me. Without the chance of losing my mind now I'm free to say and act how I want to".
Ganet got up from his sitting position and walked towards the door.
"Where are you going young dragon?" Ignitus asked him "I doubt very highly that your character can change so quickly, what is wrong?" Ignitus waited patiently for Ganet to answer.
" My dad is the problem…" Ganet replied before leaving through the door.
"Cyril?" Zapper said, a little confused by the situation.
"Well he may be onto something there. Cyril being of noble blood would mean that any offspring of his would be allowed to rule over Warfang" Ignitus replied to Zapper in an uncomfortable tone.
Zapper looked up at Ignitus, "Huh? Like a king? Why isn't Cyril king then?" he asked.
"I believe I can explain that…" he spoke in his usual 'Noble' tone of voice, "A guardian is positively not allowed to become king but I gave the position up to my brother, Avarice, before becoming a guardian. He hasn't been seen in years though, he is presumed dead".
Silvana stood up and made her way hastily towards the door.
"Where are you going Silvana?" Cyril asked, somewhat concerned.
"Ganet shouldn't be walking around, some people might still see him as their enemy and besides… he's still hurt" She replied, thinking of the many situations Ganet could get himself into.
Meanwhile…
Ganet walked through the streets of Warfang, pondering what he was going. He thought about it. I'm free… but what do I do with this new found freedom… it's as if I've lost my purpose, I… I don't even feel like fighting anymore… but… Malefor won't stop unless someone stops him and I don't know if the world can hold itself together if I don't help. Ganet sighed heavily, he didn't like what was going on but he could also see only one option.
Ganet raised his head, shook himself and looked on at the sky.
"Ancestors… if you will it… I'll stop Malefor, but only if you finally show me that you care about this world" He said, challenging the ancestors themselves to contribute to the protection of the world from being shrouded in darkness… but in that respect… Malefor wasn't even half the problem.
Ganet shook walked over to the city's main gates and looked up at them. He continued to stare for a while but his mind was wondering somewhere else, he kept on seeing Silvana, Zapper and the faces of everyone else he had met so recently. "I… I could make myself a life… but then what? I don't fit into the city lifestyle." He sighed heavily.
Just then he could hear a distant voice.
"Hm! Silvana!"
To Be Continued…
Eh, not as much as I was hoping to give but I'm way behind on college work.
Please forgive me, Hope you enjoyed it and please do review, I like reviews.
