XXI-Who I am hates who I've been
Raiciel watched shivering wide-eyed with sheer terror every ounce of blood in his body had turned to ice he wanted to scream but couldn't find his voice all he could do was stare into the now frozen cold and ruthless eyes of a Dragon that had once been like him.
"You're turn." Red stated sending him flying to the center of the room where he was chained up the same way as he was a minute ago Raiciel looked at the other Dragon for help but she merely smiled cruelly the energy surged through again and electricity surged around him as he screamed a blood curdling scream.
"NO!" Raiciel shouted waking up he looked around and sighed, "Just a nightmare….just a nightmare…." He told himself the sun was setting it was time to go he had to travel at night because it was Lucifer's desert many travelers had described it as 'Hot as hell' he took off and flew where the air would be a little warmer.
"I wonder where the town at the end of this desert is there's supposed to be one in the valley and that ended up being further away than I thought." Raiciel sighed. It was a couple of hours later that he saw the valley and landed it was there he saw a light in a nearby cave. "What is that?"
Raiciel climbed up the rocks slipping a little but he caught himself and pulled himself up eventually getting up onto the ledge where he was greated with a blast of ice magic. Standing there eyes narrowed wearing a pair of shorts with a tie off skirt hanging to the side with a sleeveless top in a fleece cloak was Bianca Solria and Koryu's sister.
"Bianca?" Raiciel asked,
"Raiciel…." She growled before trying to blast him again Raiciel dodged but he had little ledge to work with he had to hover before getting a good footing,
"How do you know who I am….I never told my name to….just anyone." Raiciel stated gulping horrible things happened to people who learnt his name Solria and Exhumor were the only ones to keep their lives after hearing it.
"I know I've heard you as for your name from the Ice and Electric Guardians when they were learning about the Ape King." She growled,
"Cyril and Volteer were here?" Raiciel asked. before bowing his head, "I know I've done horrible things…the only explanation I have the truth is that I was corrupted and stripped of my own will…..but that doesn't excuse what I've done, I only wanted to see what was up here….I'm sorry…" he replied turning to leave.
"Wait how, do you know my name?!" Bianca stated,
"I've….met….Solria and Koryu they along with Spyro the Purple Dragon defeated me and Cynder fortunately." Raiciel sighed,
"Fortunately why are you happy about that?" Bianca asked,
"Because I never wanted to be that monster I hate who I was all I want now is to find a place where I can just live out the rest of my life alone where I won't bother anyone." Raiciel replied before taking off to fly.
"Wait!" Bianca shouted rushing out of the cave she found that the air had gotten warmer she decided now would be a good time to make her way towards the town where she could see if anyone had seen Solria or Koryu or maybe find one of the Guardians maybe they knew they must have.
She jumped down the cliff onto the path and headed forward the sun rose when she saw the town in sights she also saw a dot land near the town she walked up to see it was Raiciel,
"What are you doing here?" she asked the question didn't have malice or suspicion or even anger just curiosity.
"I don't know actually I'm not sure where I'm going I'm only making pit stops in towns I didn't wreck I know that." Raiciel replied,
The town began to awaken as people opened shop for the day, Raiciel had scurried away from all the bustle and excitement Bianca on the other hand had been drawn to the local bakery she ordered a couple of breakfast sandwiches and went to find Raiciel who was sniff garbage before recoiling in the alley way.
"here." She replied holding it out to him,
"For me?" Raiciel asked as he took it and ate it gratefully, "Thank you, you didn't have to-"
"You don't seem like the stories say so I was that thing about the Dark Master controlling you and making you evil is it true?" Bianca asked,
"Yes, the same is true for Cynder I know it doesn't excuse us for our actions." Raiciel replied as he finished the sandwich and accepted a loaf of bread from her.
"No but it does point out you and Cynder were victims too" Bianca replied before Racieil dropped the bread and began to cry,
"Y-You shouldn't sniff be so kind to me- I, I, I, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" Raiciel sobbed,
"For what?" Bianca stated surprised by the sudden tears.
"I….When I was evil, I threatened…..you and your home….I made…sniff Solria feel so bad I made her feel like a killer I was going to kill her and Koryu…I don't deserve your kindness, I'm sorry Bianca I'M SORRY!" he shouted before wailing,
Bianca was stunned she didn't know what to think she merely turned trying to process the information "I got that bread for you I want to have and I definitely believe you now the Raiciel that served those Monsters wouldn't feel so bad."
"Solria and Koryu are alive as I said before they beat me before Cynder drained all of the dark power out of me that's how I got cured and Cynder Spyro unleashed some kind of purple colored fury on her that's what Solria told me." Raiciel replied having been calmed by Bianca's response,
"Listen I have to go I have things to do and this a lot to process." Bianca replied leaving,
"I don't blame you." Raiciel muttered as he ate the bread silently.
It was a few hours before Raiciel came out again he crept through the town in hopes that no one would see him,
"You shouldn't have given her anything do you know who she gave some of the food too!" a villager snarled,
"How was I to know she'd give it to that beast the Dark Storm!?" the other voice a women spat,
"We're running low on food I swear if I see that scaly lizard I'm going to make him suffer!" another villager called,
Raiciel backed up quickly in fear he backed into something making him scream, "AHHH!" he stated looking up it was Bianca, "Oh I'm sorry." He stated going to take off he had only made it a few feet in the air when she called for him,
"Wait!" she called "I need your help you can still use your weather powers right?" she asked,
"They're still there but I don't know if I still have control over them." Raiciel replied landing, "I think I know what happened to this town but we have to hurry and get out of here before the villagers mount a man hunt." She replied,
"Sounds good to me." Raiciel replied as they rushed out of the town as the townsfolk collected to search the town the two made it out where the desert stretched to several large hills some of which began to be vaguely familiar to Raiciel, "I know this place." He muttered,
Coming out at them however were a bunch of Pirates, slobbering mangy scavengers, "What are they doing out here!?" Bianca stated,
"You know what those are?" Raiciel asked,
"They're Scavenger Pirates they steal anything they can find a use for but what they really do is capture creatures and people and make them fight in their arena." Bianca explained,
"That's horrible!" Raiciel stated,
"Don't think about that now fight!" she stated blasting one with a fire spell that set it ablaze Raiciel dodged out of a blow from one and shot an electric arc at him which sent him up into the air where Raiciel air meleed him, he then used electric stream to zap another and throw it into the one that Bianca was fighting then saw somewhere they could hide,
"This way!" he shouted running forward as Bianca followed they slipped into the hole and waited till they disappeared,
"Thank you Raiciel that was good thinking." Bianca replied,
"You're welcome but what do they want out here?" he asked,
"Probably looking for fighters but there's not much out here to begin with." Bianca replied,
"Nothing, but the village; Why did you want me to come with you out here anyway?" Raiciel asked
"My father told us about how the usual monthly rain hadn't come and that he saw-"
"A Dark Storm Cloud that had no rain only Lightning Oh no…I have been here before I'm the reason they're running low on food and water and now those Pirates are gonna raid the village of what's left!" Raiciel stated, "This is why I have to disappear!" he shouted hanging his head,
"Raiciel, you're not that person anymore, Did Solria forgive you what about Koryu those two can hold grudges for weeks on end for different reasons." Bianca asked,
"Well I accidently hit Solria with an attack so Koryu hates me for that but yeah they both forgave me at least that's what they keep telling me." Raiciel replied,
"They've lied in the past I won't deny that." Bianca replied thinking about a couple of incidents "But that's one thing they never lie about now you're free you need to stop beating yourself up and show the world the real you!" Bianca stated,
"Show them the real me…" Raiciel muttered, "Not the me that the Dark Master controlled!" he stated getting it,
"It will take time but soon you will be forgiven I have to admit that sounds much better then living your life alone." Bianca replied,
"Let's start with the Village and lets hurry before those Pirates try anything what do I have to do!?" he asked,
"Follow me." Bianca stated as they rushed out headed towards a Hill in the east eventually getting to the top where Racieil saw it completely,
"This is where I did it I altered the weather so they couldn't get anymore water." He sighed sadly,
"And now you can fix it." Bianca pointed out,
Raiciel nodded, "Right I'll do my best I need you to get to lower ground I don't want you getting struck."
"Alright." Bianca replied heading to a low point in the hill.
He took a breath as he flew up "I hope I remember how to do this." he muttered to himself.
Taking off he hit the air and focused "Make it rain, make it rain bring the water back and let it stay go back to the way it wasI'm sorry I took it, bring it back, bring it back, BRING IT BACK! BRING IT BACK BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS!" he shouted lighting up in a bright blue his eyes and Tattoos glew as the sky darkened Lighting struck and wind blew Bianca suddenly felt it cool as with a crack of Lighting water poured from the sky. The Pirates had just approached the town when they were attacked by a giant wave of water washing them back out into the desert.
"I did it I fixed the weather!" Raiciel cheered doing loop-de-loops in the air he heard a scream, "Gasp Bianca!" he called soaring down to see a large Pirate and Bianca knocked to the ground.
"The Sorceress Prodigy from Silverlake village We hoped to find you here." Scratch stated,
"Leave her alone!" Raiciel called growling and getting in front of her, "Bianca can you move?"
"Yes." She replied getting up,
"Where are the other pirates?" Raiciel asked,
"They got washed out south of here." She replied as they suddenly massive cheering for the Rain's return,
"Then run I'll hold him off now go!" he stated,
"But-"
"Now Bianca!" Raiciel stated she nodded and took off,
"Stop Right there fool!" Sniff shouted as Skabb began to give chase only for several lightning bolts to appear Raiciel now snarling and his wings Tattoos and eyes their dangerous electric blue glared them down.
"Leave. Her. BE!" he growled,
"The Dark Storm your smaller in person." Scratch replied,
"Yeah what of it Skabb's an idiot in person." Raiciel snarled,
"YELK!" Skabb agreed nodding,
"Don't agree with him fool fire the cannon!" Sniff shouted Raiciel merely dodged a few blows but a sudden attack from behind from another Pirate sent him into the ground breaking his concentration where he was quickly tied up mouth tied shut and legs bound to a stick. But this didn't stop him from glaring.
"You cost us one of our fighters now you're gonna take his place." Scratch replied as Skabb struck Raiciel in the head knocking him out.
FAI FAI FAI
Raiciel awoke in a cell a few hours later he stood up groaning rubbing his head, "Ouch he did that for the sake of doing it I swear."
"Raiciel?" came a voice Raiciel trotted over to the cage to see Cynder looking at him,
"Cynder they got you too huh?" he asked,
"Yeah saving a bear family." She replied,
"Saving Koryu and Solria's foster sister at least I was able to fix the desert village." Raiciel sighed,
"You mean the Village where you altered the climate?" she asked he nodded, "Weren't you afraid if they saw you?" Cynder asked.
"They were forming an angry mob before we left but I hope with the climate fixed they'll someday forgive me." He replied before going into deep thought, "On Bianca's advice I've decided to fight and work for redemption I want to show the world that I'm not that monster that that monster wasn't the real me…I think you should too." He replied Cynder nodded before going into deep thought about it.
"I can tell you this…those idiots can't keep us locked up forever we made a good team in the past I'm pretty sure we can do it again." She replied.
"Right." Raiciel replied with a small smile.
Now we will catch up with Spyro and Co. and conclude hopefully in one chapter the Fellmuth arena see you then!
