Okay I know it has been a long time and a lot of you think I stopped writing fanfics but is not true. You see I think someone hacked into my account or something and changed the password on me or it was my brother pulling something on me. So I tried resting it multiple times but nothing worked. But I was just able to reactivate my account since apparently it went to sleep. I've been up to a lot lately since I'm an official adult now. I'm going to college next week. Not really college just a week long event to see if i will enjoy being there. So I've been working a lot since last post so that's my other reason. Oh my I need to catch up. Okay this chapter introduces the villain from my Final War Novels General Nightmare. I'll get back into the groove again if anyone is still following or anything like that. What the heck after next week I'll be back in the groove since I'm using one of my favorite villains from my fiction. Truth be told unlike my other fictions blood will be spilled with General Nightmare there is no negotiating, no mercy, no remorce, and most importantly no sanity.

Chapter 13 Insanity

Spyro arrives back at the mysterious man's mansion in the clouds. The cloud was basically in the same place Spyro and Cynder originally found it. He walked inside the mansion and found that it was empty. He came to what seemed to be the center of the reception area of the mansion. It was like he remembered but there was something off. He felt the presence of the man but there was something different in the air.

"I'm surprised to see you here again Spyro." The man says coming up behind Spyro.

"Well I needed to speak to you about this Belitinog or whatever he is." Spyro says to the man.

The man had his arms behind him and stood there as Spyro looked at him. It was if he already knew was goinbg to ask before he said it.

"I've already told you what you need to know Spyro." The man says then walks past him to the stairs that lead upward.

"What about Zirra?" Spyro asks.

The man stops at the base of the stairs then tilts his head and sighs.

"It cannot be helped Spyro. She's lost in her own mind and she can be a threat to you. It's best if..." The man says but is cut off by Spyro.

"I need to know where she is. She's one of my friends and I need to know." Spyro tells the man.

"As you wish." The man says taking a step away from the stairs then walks over to Spyro and places a single hand on Spyro's head. Spyro looks to where the man's face should be and sees two blank white eyes that pulsed with pure light energy. Close your eyes and see eternity." The man says as Spyro suddenly closed his eyes and collapsed to the floor unconscious. Or at least so it seemed.

Spyro opens his eyes and finds himself in spirit form. This was different then the normal visions Spyro was used to. He looked down and realized he was levitating through the air moving faster then he has ever gone before. He looks in the direction he was heading and saw the familiar shape in the distance that once was Cynder's Spire. It was transformed now and stretched for what seemed to be forever. The Spire was also transformed into a smooth outer shelled wall with spikes running up the seems between walls. Lightning repeatedly struck the spikes as the came down from the storm clouds. The spikes must have been how the spire got all of its power without a huge facility somewhere. Spyro looked down and saw what he thought were Wolfs, Apes, and whatever else Avaroc found along his travels. But there was something else. There were portals constructed in a circle around the base of the spire ten in total. They were made entirely out of pitch black crystals that seemed to giving off a lot of dark energy. There were some type of creatures coming out of the portals that Spyro did not recognize. He looks up and realizes. He was about to hit the wall.

Spyro reflexes placing his paws in front of his face as h passed through the wall and started going up. He was inside the spire. Spyro looked around as he passed through the floor after until he stopped at one level and came to a door. He wasn't levitating anymore and could walk to the steel door. There was a window in the door that allowed him to peek in. It wasn't a large window but it allowed him to peak in. He looked inside and saw Zirra. She was on the ground but wasn't knocked out or even harmed for that matter. She was chanting something in the corner like she was praying or waiting for someone to enter the door. Spyro grinned a bit. He was wondering where she had ran off to and now he had his answer. But she didn't appear to have been in a fight. It was like she came here at her own will and not in chains or restraints. This made Spyro think for a while. Then suddenly he heard a voice cry out. It was a voice he recognized from one of his visions. It sounded selfish and scratchy and roled the Rs as he spoke.

"Do you think I honestly care about your men Avarok. The Dark Lord and I know of what's to happen here and no one else says otherwise." The voice says.

Spyro panics for a few seconds trying to think of what to do. Then he remembered he was like a ghost. He phases through the door to Zirra's cell and walked towards her. Zirra lifts her head as Spyro phases through the door. It was like she heard him or something like that. She turns her head until she was looking directly at Spyro.

"I know you're there Spyro." Zirra whispers.

"How did she know?" Spyro asks himself.

"It's part of me remember. I can sense spirits and ghost. Only you're not either." Zirra says grinning as she finished speaking.

"Not exactly. It's a long story." Spro says hearing the voice outside again this time with footsteps coming towards the door. They stopped directly outside the door.

"No need to worry Spyro. They can't see or hear you. Only I can." Zirra says.

Spyro sighs with relief. But that didn't answer why Zirra was here in this place.

"Zirra why..." Spyro started to say but got cut off by Zirra.

"Why did I come here. I sensed a great evil here and decided to come here to investigate. When I landed I was ambushed by a small army of these minions. There was so many not even I could fight them." Zirra tells Spyro.

"I see but why are you just sitting here and not fighting? Zirra I know you and this isn't you." Spyro says.

"That's not the half of it. Their new leader. He's a monster. A true monster. When I came here I saw him kill a child without even flinching. But there was also something else Spyro." Zirra says sighing.

"What Zirra?" Spyro asks.

"Your friend Volteer. He died this morning because of that thing. I saw the whole thing through that window. He just came up to Volteer and ran that sword of his through Volteer." Zirra says. Spyro felt heavy. Volteer was captured but the Guardians could not find him. He had no idea that Volteer was here. But who was Zirra talking about.

"Who did this." Spyro growls as tumblers turn in the door and it started to come open. Spyro turned to see something that was new to him.

The thing standing at the door had a human torso with two long arms and two long legs that curved like a dogs hind legs. The creature's body was nothing more then bone and muscle that held it together. The creature had the skull of a medium sized Dragon as a head. The creatures seemed to be constantly changing between different shades of creature's teeth resembled a crocadile and on top of it's head it had two long horns that pointed up like Cynder's. It grinned at Zirra as it came in the room and closed the door behind it.

The Door closed with a loud thud as the creature took a step towards Zirra. Unknown to him that Spyro's spirit was in the room watching the thing walk around with a sinister movement.

"Now my sweet how are you doing?" The creature asks. Zirra as it stood over her.

Zirra barely acknowledges the creatures presence and barely twitches her head and doesn't even bother to turn her head to look at him.

"I'm perfectly fine Nightmare." Zirra says giving the creature a name.

"Well that's fine to know." Nightmare says looking down at Zirra.

Zirra looks up with one eye and sees Nightmare giving her a stare that she did not like. Spyro analyzes Nightmare's stance and it seemed that he did not care for Zirra at all. Well that's what he could tell from how Nightmare was standing.

"If you're here to Woo me you'll be disappointed." Zirra says loud enough for the guards outsde the door to hear.

"What! Me interested in you. You're dumber then you look stupid lizard. But then again you..." Nightmare says but stops when he hears the two guards outside laugh a little. "Silence you two or you'll be next on my list!" Nightmare yells and the two guards silence their laughter instantly. "As for you Zirra I will not fall for your little tricks that easily. I got to admit of all your race I've encountered so far you are the smartest." Nightmare says to Zirra as she sat up and looked at him. Nightmare was sitting on a medium sized rock and was using a small stone to sharpen the blood stained sword that hung on his belt.

"Well I'm flattered. Get some flowers and we'll go on a date." Zirra says purposely trying to anger Nightmare who just growls and continue sharpening his weapon. "But why are you really here Nightmare?"' Zirra asks finally.

"Well Zirra that is a question I was waiting for you to say." Nightmare says as he placed his weapon back in its sheathe. "Has anyone ever told you the definition of the word Insanity? The definition is doing the same repetitive thing over and over again thinking that it might result in a different outcome." Nightmare says twirling his hand as he said over and over again.

"Yah that's beautiful and all but tell me why you're here." Zirra says looking a bit frustrated.

"The definition of insanity is. Well me Zirra. Most people call me crazy and others call me a psycho path. But that brings up the question. When you hear the definition you can't help but ask yourself am I insane." Nightmare says then leans closer to Zirra. "Now that is crazy. You know Zirra you and I have our similarities and our differences. You killed your adopted father all because he hit you and he was pushing you your entire life. You run around killing those branded for death by you. You lie to yourself telling yourself that you will be a Hero but yet you continue to kill. Why? I on the other hand am different. I was born a freak. Not even my own mother didn't love me. I went to bed every night crying telling myself that everything would be okay. But it never did." Nightmare says leaning back. "The one thing I learned at an early age was that no one would care for you that you need to care for yourself and leave people behind to survive. You know who taught me that. My father that's who... No joke. All my life he told me how I was pathetic that no matter that I would never amount to anything that I was weak and would die alone in my own little world... You know how he died. I killed him with the very knife he was going to kill me with. After that I took care of my mother then I ran outside and took care of a couple of the guards on my way out." Nightmare says running his tongue along his teeth as if his nonexistent lips were dry. Then he got up and left the room slamming the door behind him.

Spyro looked over at Zirra who just lied back down as if she was trying to sleep. Spyro didn't reveal it but this Nightmare scared him. Imagine what was going through that man's head as he spoke about his past. The scary thing was he smiled while talking about it. Not even a single ounce of remorse. Spyro had to get out of here. He needed to warn the others about what was going on. But there was only one problem. How?

"I see you." Spyro heard the deep demonic voice come from nowhere.

Suddenly everything around him went dark and nothing but the demonic eye could be seen. Spyro looks at the eye as it floated around him. The eye seemed to be examining him as it came around him again and again until Spyro built up the courage to speak.

"Who are you and what are you're men here for?" Spyro asks.

"What?" The eye says widening then thinning out as it spoke. "Has no one taught you history? Has no one told you about the gods? Have you never looked into the shadows and seen an eye looking back at you. I am the shadow that never ends. I am the Darkness that is all around you. I am the evil that lives within all live forms. I am Darkness. I am death. I am Sin. I... am... Belitinog." The eye says.

"So you're that dark lord. You just look like a floating eye to me. You aren't so tough." Spro says not intimidated by the eye that he now knew was Belitinog.

"This eye you see before you is my common form. This is how I am seen by most of you mortals. Do not underestimate your eyes mortal." Belitinog tells Spyro.

"Ya so never underestimate a floating eye that thinks he's an all powerful overlord." Spyro says sarcasticly.

"I like you hero. Even in the sight of the Dark God himself you still hold yourself high." Belitinog says as his eye stares at Spyro darkness pulsing from it as it came near.

"I've already taken down an Arkeyan. Taking you down shouldn't be as difficult." Spyro says wondering what the eye was thinking as he spoke.

"Kid you're cocky. You might be an adult but you have no idea who or what I am. The true gods will see my path true for the trail of the damned is lined in blood and tears. You will see all you hold dear taken as the shadow of the Underworld Alliance stretches across your world and we will unleash a power so great that your entire world will crumble as I return to me material form. The shadow is rising now and you will once more fear the name Belitinog." Belitinog says not even chuckling as he finished talking. Not like most villains Spyro has encountered over the years.

Then Spyro awoke back in his body. He blinked a couple times and saw the room dark with the only light source was the fireplace that the mysterious man was now sitting in front of. Spyro walked over to the man but stopped as the man spoke.

"No need to tell me Spyro what you've already seen because I've already seen it. I've seen it happen to world after world. Many worlds have perished under the shadow of the Underworld alliance."

"So what can we do? If Belitinog returns here we might not stand a chance. The Underworld Alliance seems to be stronger then we are and much larger then our armies. We can't..." Spyro said but was cut off by the man.

"Then you must consider other options which all other races that have fallen never considered because of their greed and lust for power."

"Like what? I don't know how we can gather anymore men. We already have all available soldiers at the ready."

"In truth there is but one unifying force in the cosmos dear Spyro. The emergence of a common enemy. You must bring all the people of your world together if you want to save it. That includes your enemy Malefor and his army."

"No there has to be another way. Malefor is corrupt and evil. If we make an alliance with him then he will just stab us in the back eventually. There has to be another way. Maybe if I tell all of the Dragons maybe we can destroy Cynder's fortress before Nightmare can spawn this demon army of his." Spyro says then leaves in a hurry leaving the man staring into the flames of the fireplace.

The man sighs as a beautiful red colored bird lands on his shoulder. It rubbed up against and squawked.

"Just like all the wrest. Too arrogant to listen to me. He cannot see what fate has in store for this world if he fails to listen."

Then a magical orb appears next to the man. In the orb was a picture of Spyro's world in flames as the world spins the symbol of the Underworld can be seen. This was truly the war to end all wars. The Final War against good and Evil.
