Sorry guys about the long delay. My Internet hasn't been working much since I installed SWTOR on my laptop. It works on the game but it won't let me access it much unless I use google Chrome which for some reason won't let me log in. I have no idea with this technical. Well other then helping my little brother in SWTOR I've been developing or working on a mod of Star Wars Empire at War FOC which should be done around March if I can get it all working. I'm still working on this but the internet connection tends to be a problem unless if I am able to screw with to get it working. Anyway let's just continue.


Chapter 11 Unleashing The Terror

Spyro and Cynder sore over the wilderness with Ignitus on Cynder's back. Spyro looks through the forest as he follows a trail throught the woods with Cynder following behind him. There was no sign of the soldiers or of anyone or thing being there for the past couple of days. Spyro lands on the ground checking around for any other signs. He didn't wat to waste his time tracking Avarok on a a trade route. Cynder lands slowly and lets Ignitus off gently. Ignitus watches as his look for clues that suggest the Avarok and Demodius went through this way. If only hunter was here then this would take less time. Then Spyro noticed a footprint left by a Wolf soldir that suggest that Avarok was heading in the direction of Cynder's old palace. But there was no sign of Demodius or Remer from what he could find.

"Remer and Demodius aren't with Avarok." Spyro tells Cynder as he stated walking toward her.

"Well maybe they left to find supplies for the troops?" Cynder told Spyro.

"No." Spyro says taking a moment to analyze the ground. "Demodius wouldn't go out and get supplies for his troops." Spyro says noticing some dragon footprints in the dirt. They were old now but recent. "Demodius and Remer flew off somewhere."

"Where?" Cynder asks.

"I don't know but it can't be good." Spyro says flapping his wings as he planned to go up in the air and see if he can see where Remer and Demodius went.

"Spyro. Don't kill Remer. Demodius is still in there." Cynder reminds Spyro.

"I won't." Spyro says then looks at his son who was beside Cynder. "Cynder take Ignitus back to Warfang then get Val and head to your old fortress. You might be able to find some answers there." Spyro tells Cynder as he got into the air and flies straight up to see over the land.

"Be careful Spyro." Cynder says as she watches Spyro take off into the air. She then looks down to her son and lets him get on her back then take off through the air to go to Warfang.

As Cynder sores away with Ignitus on her back Spyro looks around trying to find clues on where Demodius and Remer have gone. He looks all around trying to find the trail until he looks towards Cynder old palace. He coul;dn't see the actual castle but he saw some dark ominous clouds brewing as if something dark and powerful was there. But from the ominous clouds came black lightning. Then he notices some mind flashes as he looked at the blackened cloud. He saw the eye again. That eye that same eye that has been haunting for the past couple of days. But this time it was different he was not afraid of it. He actaully sensed wisdom and justice from the eye and not darkness and destruction.

Spyro then looked around and noticed a shiny peice of metal in the forest. He sored down and plucked up the peice of metal to examine it more clearly. It was a shard of metal from a metal suit of armor. Most likely Remer's. Spyro sored back up into the sky snd saw a section in branches that were parted like a path in the branches like something very fast was soring over it. Like two full grown dragons Spyro thought. Spyro sored down and follows the parted path through the branches hopping that this would lead him to Remer and Demodius where ever they were.

Unknown to Spyro what awaited him.

He arrived at a mountian that just came out of the forest that strecthed until it almost touched the clouds. He sees the stone wall and nothing more. Looking around he sees Dragon footprints Demodius and Remer were her for certain but where did they go? Spyro looks around and countinuely discovers that the trail ends at the stone wall of the mountain. Spyro was curious by this until he saw a blade of grass sticking from the wall. Then it hit him. This was a wall like the one Zirra opened before they fought Dark God. But this was not designed by an Adalisk instead it seemed to be designed by a normal dragon.

Knowing this he eventually finds the way to open the door and does so. He enters the cave and the door shuts behind him. The sound of the door closing echoed through the cave it was loud and if Remer and Demodius were still in the cave they certainly heard him. He ran through the cave few but then suddenly the ground beneath him disappears and he drops into a large open area in the cave. He hits the ground that was over twelve twenty feet below where he entered. He gets to his feet and shakes to get the dirt off of him. He looks around feeling the same ominus presence that he felt when he first encountered the Golem. A matter of fact this place looked like where he fought that thing.

He walked around in a circle and there was nothing broken as far as he could. Now he tried to look around but the cave was so Dark that he couldn't see a thing not like at the mouth of the cave where there was still light from the sun. Where was Sparx when he needed him. Spyro thought to himself knowing know one else was around him. Then he heard footsteps coming towards him.

He then prepares to fire a bolt of fire to help light the room. It wouldn't make much light but it would give him enough light to see. When he fires the fire bolt he is shoked to Cynder weeping in front of him. She is holding what seemed like Ignintus's body in her arms. Spyro knew that this was only a vision like he's been having lately. But he was still drawn to this one and he felt in his gut that it was more than a vision. He reached out with his paw and was able touch her on the shoulder. It then hit Spyro that this was more than a vision that she was really there.

He examined the body that she was holding and it was indeed Ignitus's. He closes his eyes for a moment. When he opens his eyes he looks over to Cynder and her body changed. Her skin was pail and her body was covered in large gapping cut and stab wounds and from them was droplets of blood that led a trail as they came from her wound to the ground. her stomach was cut open as well like a wolf got to it or something like that. He was afraid to at her any longer and decided to close his eyes. But this time when he opened them he was looking at gory scene of Cynder's face right in front her face was covered in blood and her eyes were pure white like her soul was gone. She then shreiked at Spyro. The shreik knocked Spyro over and he bashed his head on a rock. It didn't harm him much but it hurt. He closed his eyes and looked towards where Cynder was and she was gone along with the body she was holding.

"What?" Spyro says not beleiving what just happened. This must of been some kind of ghost or something that wants to play mental games with him. He gathers himself together then sees a path leading further into the cavern. "Well if you want to play mental games then here I am." Spyro says then walked into the path that led further into the cavern. He continually fires little bolts of fire to keep the cavern lit enough so he could see where he was going. He then found a large rock blocking his path and climned over it and lands with a thud. He looks down and fires another fire bolt and the cavern ahead of him lit up. He was shocked when he looked down at beneath him. Beneath him he saw bloody footprints from a Dragon that led further down the cavern. Mayve whatever he saw earlier went that way.

Spyro continues onward not afraid of what would later come at least so he thought. As he walked he heard groaning coming from behind him like something was dying of hunger or dehidration. Spyro tunred to look behind and fired a fire bolt. There was nothing behind him as far as he could tell. But behind him he heard faint footsteps like someone or something was coming from behind him. Along with the footsteps was a light scratching that accompanied it. Spyro then knew something. He might not be that alone anymore.

Spyro continues further down the cavern passageway as it got closer to him. He had to fold his wings inward just to fit in the passageway now. Not only that but the ominous sound that continued to come from behind him sounded like it was getting closer and closer with every step he took. As Spyro continued onward e also noticed the air starting to get colder. He could see his breath now. Not only that but the muscles in his legs spazed to warm them up. It was colder at the floor of the cavern then higher up.

But then he felt the ground beneath him give way. He was falling now and the space that he was falling through was too thin for him to open his wings without serious injury. With that out of the question and nothing to grab Spyro just braced for impact with the ground which seemed like a lifetime to him before hit it a seconds later. Miraclously Spyro was able to get to his feet and shake the dirt off of him that collected on his body when he hit the ground. Looking up he noticed the hole he fell through seemed to be more then a couple stories upward. But that wasn't possible. He would have broken some bones if he really fell from that height.

Looking around he noticed mutiple passageways all around him each adjacent to the other and placed around him. He couldn't see much and he was running low on energy to fire more fire bolts. Now he was really wishing he brought Sparx or Cynder with him. He would even settle for Flame or Ember as long as they knew where they were going at this point because he really had no idea now. But one thing was good out of this. Whatever was following him couldn't get down here without stumbling down that hole he made through the floor.

Spyro continues on his way when he hears the sound again this time getting closer and closer like it was in the air or something. But there was something different this time. It felt like someone was making the sound now and not something like an animal. But whatever the thing was Spyro didn't waste time to find out. He continued along the way when he came to a corner. As he turned around it he bashes his head into a hard object. He slides to his belly and collapses as object fell on his back with a bone breaking crack.

He feels the object on his back and finds out that it was a large rock. But it couldn't have been just hanging in the pathway unless someone put it there. He is able to turn his body around so he could try to push the large rock off of him. The sounhd that seemed to be following him got closer and closer as he did so. This time it was a scrapping sound like a sword gettin drug across the floor of the cave.

Spyro is able to get the rock off of himself when he looked behind him and saw a shadow come around a corner. He then gained some speed to get away from the sound but then found himself at the end of the cavern. He was at a rock wall now there was no opening. There wasn't enough room for him to use fire without taking the oxygen away from the air around him. He thought for a moment as the sound got closer and closer behind him. Then it hit him. He turned around and charged at the object making the sound thinking that whatever it was would be startled by the dragon charging at him. But that wasn't how it played out.

He was stopped by whatever it was following him and the thin actually grabbed him by the throat and held on with such force that it was like trying to breathe through an ash cloud without inhailing ash. He opened his eyes to see a creature dressed in a full body grey cloak that covered it's face with a pitch black shadow. Spyro looked down and saw the demonic sword attached to the thing's hip. Spyro then noticed the black steel gauntlet that it wore over it's hand and lower arm. Spyro couldn't see the creature's face but he knew what ever it was seemed to be looking into his eyes. The creatures claw like fingures squeezed tighter and tighter around Spyro's neck until it suddenly released him in a single movement.

Spyro hits the ground rubbing his throat as it started to open again. He coughed for a little bit then he found himself looked at the steel boots of the creature that had just grabbed him. He looked up and saw the creature had the sword unsheathed and was pointing it down at him. Spyro could see the sword's blood colored edge and the black of the steel used to forge it. It wasn't like any sword he had ever seen. Just the sight of it made Spyro shiver.

"Get to your feet mortal." The thing said with a ghost like voice that didn't even echo in the cave. The voice was so light but yet was loud enough for Spyro to hear it.

Spyro did as the thing said and got to his feet. The creature still pointed the sword at Spyro's nose making a point that he was not to be messed with. Spyro looked at the creature's stance and it was standing in perfect form like a master of the technique.

"What are you?" Spyro said. That was the first thing he said sense he heard the sound behind him.

The creature remained silent only point the sword at Spyro keeping its arm perfectly still not even bending it once so ever.

"I said. What are you?" Spyro says again thinking the creature didn't hear hm the first time.

The creature didn't respond again it just stood there with nothin but the silence flowing through the air. But then the creature lowered its weapon and spoke with it's ghost like voice once more.

"Not yet." The creature says putting away his weapon.

"What are you talking about?" Spyro says not following what the thing was saying.

"Your time is not yet. The Dark Lord does not wish it." The thing says then turns around and walks back the way it came.

"Wait! I need to know who sent you!" Spyro says running to catch up with the thing.

Spyro turned the corner after the thing did but when he did so it was gone. There was nothing. Not even the sound that was following him was gone. Where did it come from? Spyro thought to himself finding an alternate route that led back out of the cave system. He exits the cave wondering what it was Remer and Demodius had come to the cave to find. But that was when he saw the smoke. It was coming where Cynder's fortress used to be.

The smoke was large like someone was burning the entirew forest down. The smoke blackened the clouds and all light in that area seemed to just be gone. It was like the darkness had come and swallowed it whole.

Meanwhile in the location where Cynder's fortress stood it was being changed by Avarok and his Wolves. The Crystals around it were being removed and used to make weapons and other items. The Spire that Cynder once used as a palace was being changed as well. The Wolves were making it taller than it once was and they were fortifying it making it more into a fortress then a palace by removing many of the furnishings had been removed to fuel the fires of the forges below.

On the ground the forges ran kicking up more and more smoke as the forgers made more and more materials to use in the construction of the Spire. Along the ground the Wolves were placing down Black crystals that pulsed full of dark energy not like when Malefor used them to power his war machines. Around these crystals the air was cold as winter and the Wolves could see their breath as they placed them on the ground. They were making some kind of arch with all of the black crystals.

On top of the Spire stood Avarok who was overlooking everything that was going on. He awaited for Remer and Demodious's return. They had been gone for a while now. Then he heard the flapping sound as Remer flew over his head with Demodius following him. Remer carried an unconsious orange Dragoness. He placed the Dragoness lightly on the ground then landed beside her. He landed just as Demodius did. Avarok and Demodius both looked at Remer like they had no idea what to do next.

"Get her locked up!" Remer yells at Avarok pointing at the Dragoness he just put on the ground.

Avarok then gets two the Wolf guards to take the Dragoness to a holding cell. Remer seemed more angered then ever now for an unknown reason. He walks over to the edge of the Spire to watch as the Wolves worked on improving the fortress for his purpose.

Remer disappeared in thought for a moment his mind was clouded with devious thoughts he stood looking at all the images that were around him and beside him was Nevilis who had been trapped inside of his twisted mind for some time.

"You don't need to do this. There's another way." Nevilis says trying to turn Remer's judgement.

"Silence worm. All that has transpired is necessary. I need to do this to please him." Remer tells Nevilis not even turning his head.

"But haven't we been through enough? I've seen what this Belitinog is capable of. Do you really want that?" Nevilis asks Remer.

"Fool you know nothing. The pain I've felt. What I've lost." Remer says looking at Nevilis for a breif moment then turns his attention back the images that were all around him. "This isn't my world. Not anymore."

"But it still is. We can stop him if you join with Spyro and the others. We can..." Nevilis says but is cut off by Remer.

"You are just a child. You cannot imagine the power of a god unless you've seen it for yourself."

"We can and we will. Lora will find a way. Just..."

"No. This will come as he seen it. This planet will belong to him and him alone."

"Your not a puppet Remer. Your a soul that's lost his way. Just let it all go and let me take over."

"Insolent boy. Your little girlfreind can't help you. There is no more Nevilis only Remer."

"Alright Remer I guess you are." Nevilis says then fades away back to the back of Remer's mind leaving him to look at all the images around him.

Then all of the images disappear and a lullaby starts playing. It was a lullaby you would sing to a child. Remer then remembered an old painful memory that didn't materialize in an image but only in his subconsious mind.

The memory was painful even though Remer didn't show it.

Remer then found himself overlooking the reconstruction of the Spire. He grinned as the Spire neared completion.
