A Not-So-Different Beginning

Chapter 14

A/N Hey guys here's the next chapter for you super fans. I want to say thanks to Shadow117 for saying what he said about Cynder, I made her more passive and less in your face because she hasn't grown up like normal. She's had a much more normal and probably happier childhood and has shaped her that way. So in conclusion I'll keep her the way she is but may make her step up later. Anyway thanks for understanding for the people who do and the others well screw you it's my story don't like it write your own. Also for Shadow117 if you make a profile you don't have to be a writer it also helps you favorite stories and follow them a bit easier. One more thing I'd like to address Kirks convexity is not a dark form; it's just that convexity form. I believe convexity is an element that easily conducts darkness like electricity and that's why you get corrupted easily while using it and why you use it when the darkness takes over. So as long as Kirk focuses he retains control. Thanks for your patience so let's go.

Kirk got up trembling from exhaustion andhis brother helped him up "You ok bro?" he asked and Kirk nodded and walked over to the tree to see Glacia was awake and looked terrified. "Hey come down, he's gone" he said soothingly but she shook her head in shock and he said "Glacia, it's me Kirk. Remember me from class, you know I wouldn't hurt you" he said and she loosened up a bit and said "Kirk?"

He nodded and she asked "Why are you black now?" he just noticed he was still in his convexity form and quickly focused and turned back to his normal blood red. She said "T-that's better" she loosened up more and Kirk said "Alright, Glacia I need you to come down I promise it's safe"

She slowly descended not because she was afraid of Kirk but because she was afraid of shadow forms or Spyro coming back and when she got close enough she lunged towards him and hugged him feeling safer that way but was still shivering. Kirk hugged her a bit too and patted her back and asked "You ok?" She said shaking "Y-ya"

Kirk said "Good, now you wanna go back to the temple?" he wanted to keep it slow so not to scare her any further and she nodded. They walked back with Cynder and Nick slowly and Glacia made sure to stay very close to Kirk. When they finally arrived Cynder had become more depressed again as the events started to make full sense in her head and Nick said "Bro, both of them are barely holding themselves together" Kirk nodded knowing and said "We'll drop Glacia at her room then tell the Guardians what happened"

They dropped Glacia back at her room of the temple but she almost didn't follow his directions but after a bit of calming and some reassuring words she agreed but only if they came by later to check on her. They agreed and left for the Guardians chambers and entered to find them practically waiting for them.

"What happened out there, we could see the shield from here?" Terrador asked in utter confusion. Kirk said "Spyro woke up… but it wasn't him, he… turned" Kirk said sorrowfully and his two friends lowered their heads. The Guardians gasped and Cyril asked "You don't mean" Kirk nodded "He turned, to the darkness. But it's not him; he told me how it's his evil self blinding his real self to everything" Terrador thought "This may work in our favor, maybe we can free him of his dark self, it's never happened before but we'd have to weaken him and suck it out of him but how?" Volteer said "I may be able to make a device using rare light gems?" he asked and Terrador said "That may be all we can do, it won't destroy the spirit but will forcefully expel it and weaken it. Then maybe Spyro could take it on in his mind and kill it but that's far fetch"

Cynder had some hope at this point and asked "So you're saying there may be a way to save him?" Terrador said but with a lot of sadness "I'm sorry Cynder but the chances of Spyros mind keeping itself together from having a piece of himself ripped from his body is low but we'll do all we can" Cynder said "Oh, ok" she lost her hope but was happy that there was a shred of hope.

Kirk asked "So when do you think this light crystal thing will be ready?" Volteer answered this question "I can't say, light crystals are not only rare but very unpredictable. We've done very few tests on them because of their rarity" Kirk said "Well please hurry, remember what he said. He'll be back and next time he'll have much more power"

The three Guardians nodded and asked them to leave while they started working to calm the city and get a hold on the light crystals. Nick decided it would be best if he kept Cynder company while Kirk left to check on Glacia like he promised.

He got back to the room and knocked on the door and it opened in a few seconds so reveal Glacia who looked much better than before and she released a sigh probably happy that it wasn't something else more dangerous "Hey Kirk, thanks for coming back I appreciate it"

Kirk nodded happy to oblige and said "So you feeling better then when we left?" She nodded "A little enough that I'm not gonna freeze up" He smiled happy with that answer and said "Well I'm glad you weren't hurt"

She smiled at the comment "Thanks, me too" Kirk chuckled "Obviously your happy. Why wouldn't you be?" he asked joking. She giggled and said "Well… maybe we'll see each other again… oh and thanks once again" she said almost forgetting what she wanted to say and Kirk nodded and let her go back inside and walked back so he could get some well needed rest.

When he got back he found Nick was still keeping Cynder company and she had calmed down completely but still looked worried, as he entered he heard his brother say "Don't worry Cynder, we'll do our best to get him back" Kirk said "I'll make sure of it" adding to Nick's comment. She smiled and said "Thank you, I don't know how this happened but I have to have him back"

Nick put his paw on her shoulder "We know you care about him a lot and we'll do whatever we need to stop him" She nodded and said thank you one more time before leaving. When she was gone Kirk said "I don't know if we can keep that promise, I was at my most powerful and I was still no match"

Nick nodded in agreement then asked "By the way how did you do that?" Kirk groaned and said "It's a long story"

Nick replied "We have a long time until we can do anything, go ahead" Kirk sighed but explained…

"I can use convexity because convexity is a combination of all four elements that are inside of me as you know. Even though I can do this it comes with a price, it attracts the darkness like a moth to glowstone. So I have to focus extremely hard to avoid being corrupted. If I get corrupted I would probably have much more power and possibly stand a much better chance to Spyro then before but I won't risk that" Kirk explained

Nick sighed and said "Well then your powers don't change the game much at all, that sucks" Kirk nodded in agreement and said "I don't know what we'll do if Volteers plan doesn't work. Ancestors help us"

Well another short one, I'm really sorry about that. I actually haven't done this story in so long I kinda forgot where I was going with it, I'll get it back soon though. Sorry once again for the HUGE wait for this to come back but I'll try to finish this. Thanks for your amazingly long support.
