'Sanity'

'Seth'

'Seth and Psychotic'

Chapter 26

Cynder watched as Seth pushed the guard out of the way and stormed down the hall.

'How did he manage to get out…?' She wondered in awe.

She then shook her head and came back to her senses.

'This is bad,' she thought. 'If we aren't able to calm him down then he might hurt someone.'

"Seth wait!" Cynder shouted and was about to go after Seth but was stopped by a paw.

Cynder looked to her right to see that that paw belonged to Ignitus.

"Let the boy go Cynder, he needs time to relieve his anger." Ignitus advised.

"But what if he hurts someone?" Cynder asked.

"I doubt the human wishes to bring harm to anyone, but I do not want to interfere with him. Especially when he is agitated." Ignitus explained.

"I say we send our troops to dispose of the creature." Terrador spoke up from behind Cynder and Ignitus.

Ignitus turned his head to look at Terrador. "You have seen what the human is capable of when it is enraged Terrador, I do not wish to put our troops lives at risk." Ignitus pointed out.

Cynder heard Terrador sigh but no further argument came from the earth dragon.

"What if we send someone to monitor Seth?" Spyro suggested. "To keep him from harming anyone."

"That creature has been difficult to keep track of… I presume it has more abilities of stealth and deception that we do not know about." Ignitus explained. "But I shall warn the beings of this temple not to cross paths with the human." He then turned to Hunter who was talking with Chief Prowlus a little ways away. "Hunter."

Hunter turned his head towards Ignitus and excused himself from his conversation with the Chief.

"Yes Ignitus?" He asked as he walked up to the group.

"Since you are the swiftest of us all I wish for you to hurry to the left wing of the temple where most of the messenger dragonflies are." Ignitus advised. "Tell them to inform everyone in the temple to avoid contact with the creature we brought here."

Hunter bowed his head and quickly rushed towards the left wing of the temple.

"I could gather a few other ice dragons and try to capture the creature again." Cyril suggested.

"As I have said before the human is too dangerous to cross paths with." Ignitus replied.

Ignitus then scanned the area, as if searching for someone.

"Where has Volteer gone?"

POV Switch Seth

I trudged down the hall seething with rage.

'Those bastards think I wanted this! They think I'm some type of abomination who kills for the fun of it!' I thought bitterly as I continued down the hall. 'I'm not a monster or a weapon! I'm just the poor bastard who got caught up in all this shit!' I then saw a door at the end of the hallway that I assumed led to some type of exit. 'I'm done with these damn dragons!'

I swung the door open when I reached it to see that it led to some type of courtyard, with a garden, fountain and a few large rocks scattered around the place.

"Damn it!" I shouted.

I then clenched my teeth and bawled up my fists. 'Why couldn't this have been a f****** exit!?' I thought.

I had built up so much rage and now the fact that simple things such as failing to find an exit would make me even more enraged.

"I see you are having trouble finding your way out of this temple." I heard a voice say behind me.

I turned my head back to see that Volteer was a couple feet behind me.

"What do you want?" I asked, venom in my words.

Volteer simply smiled a bit. "I simply wish to ask if you would like me to show you the way out of this temple." He replied.

I turned around to face him. I then glared and said. "I don't need your help…"

"I think you do…" Volteer replied. "For if you do not accept my help you shall be lost in this temple, and possibly not find an exit for quite some time." He pointed out.

My glare intensified. "If I can't find an exit than I'll make and exit." I stated.

"Brute force isn't the solution to everything… for sometimes it may bring more harm than good." Volteer warned.

'He's trying to manipulate you…' Psy spoke in my head. 'Do not let him get inside our head.'

I shook my head and smiled. "You think your petty mind games will be able to stop me?" I asked. "I am not as foolish as you think…"

"I do not think you are foolish young one… I just think you are misguided." Volteer replied.

I chuckled. "Misguided am I?" I asked. "Please do enlighten me…"

"Your thoughts are clouded and corrupted by your anger… it makes you do things that you never wished to do in the first place." Volteer explained.

I laughed at that and my smile grew. "What makes you think I didn't want to do these things?" I asked. "I could be a psychotic murder for all you know…"

"I know because I have seen your true self." Volteer replied. "I have seen a young being… who is in no way a murder… but merely a frightened being who has lost his way."

I glared at him and frowned. "Are you claiming me to be weak?" I asked, anger in my voice.

"No… you are far from weak." Volteer explained. "But the being I see in front of me now has less power than the one I saw before."

My eye twitched a bitas the anger grew. I then shook my head. 'He will not manipulate us.' I thought.

"You are a daft one aren't you?" I asked. "I am much more powerful than I ever been in my life."

"Maybe so… but you could be much more powerful if you learn to let go of your anger… anger and hate only cloud your mind, causing you to become reckless." Volteer pointed out.

I chuckled and my grin started to grow. "Anger is all I have…" I replied. "And it has made me one of the most powerful beings on this planet."

"If you are so powerful… than may I ask what you wish to do with that power?" Volteer asked.

My grin faltered for a minute and I remained silent. 'What would I do with this power?' I thought as I lifted up my hands and observed them. "You would use it to destroy our enemies… and anything that wishes to stand in our way to get home." Psy replied. 'But… would it be worth killing that many beings to get home?' I thought. 'Of course it would, we have had enough happen to us in our lives, so now it is time to take our lives under our control...' Psy explained. I grinned. 'I do like that idea…'

"I do what I wish with this power." I replied.

Volteer raised an eyebrow. "But what if this power is not enough to satisfy your wishes?" He asked.

I paused at that and my smile faltered again. I then held my head. 'No… I will not allow him to confuse me any further.' I thought.

I looked up at him and glared. "I am done talking to you! You only wish to delay me as your dragons prepare to attack me." I accused.

"I am doing no such thing." Volteer replied. "I am merely trying to help you."

I gritted my teeth. "Everyone wants to help me don't they?" I asked. "I never ask for help but people offer it anyways, but I don't need help!" I shouted.

"And why is that?" Volteer questioned.

"Because no one can help me!" I shouted.

"I recall you saying that the first time we met…" Volteer recalled. "My I ask why you think no one is able to help you?"

I laughed and said. "Look at me." I then gestured to myself, my grey skin and demonic eyes still showing. "Do you really think a murderer with a mind as f***** up as mine would be able to get help?"

Aw, I just thought of the perfect intro by using pokemon… um… well you guys don't really care so uh… lets just continue.

Volteer was silent for a bit before he chuckled and I raised an eyebrow.

"What's so funny?" I asked.

"Oh, I just find the fact that the only reason you cannot be helped is because you won't let anyone help you." He explained.

It was my turn to chuckle. "Oh yes… I see you still have the same delusions as the last time we spoke." I replied.

"I do not think I am the delusional one here…" Volteer claimed.

I glared at him. "You dare mock me?"

"I only speak the truth." Volteer stated. "And the truth is that you are succumbing to your anger, and that is something that will only lead to your downfall." He claimed. "For if you use your power out of rage… you will only make things worse for yourself, and others."

I was getting really tick off right then. 'I'm tired of this bastard has a smart mouth!' I thought with rage.

"You make bold statements for such a pathetic creature…" I remarked.

"And you are irresponsible for a being with such power." Volteer shot back.

That struck a nerve. "Not using the skills I gave you would only be irresponsible son." I recalled my father's words. 'I never wanted those skills in the first place…' I thought. 'I never wanted these powers in the first place!' I thought, the rage building once again. 'And I'll be dammed if start letting others make my decisions for me again!'

"I think its time for me to show how much power I really have." I said menacingly, my hands bawling up into fists.

Four tentacles then slid out of my back and my eye twitched. Though I had a scowl on my face rather than a twisted grin.

Volteer on the other hand still kept his calm expression. "I do not think it would be wise to do so."

"Well I don't give a damn what you think! I make my own decisions, no one else does!" I bellowed.

I could have sworn I saw Volteer smile a bit but it quickly vanished.

"Then you make the decision." Volteer replied, empathizing the word you.

I then advanced forward towards Volteer and raised my fist, prepared to strike Volteer down. When I was a foot in front of him I heard Psy say.

'Kill him.' Psy commanded. I was about to bring my fist down upon Volteer when I paused. "Then you make the decision." I remembered Volteers words. I looked down. 'Am I the one in control here?' I thought. 'Of course you are! Now kill him!' Psy shouted. 'But… I don't want to…' I thought, my mind starting to become clear again. 'Of course you do! He has been trying to distract you from your goal!'

Volteer still had his calm expression and he spoke.

"Don't let your anger control you…"

I hesitated. 'Kill him! He's trying to manipulate you!' Psy said. 'No…' I thought. 'Kill him!' He shouted again. 'No!' I replied and my head started to hurt like hell. 'KILL HIM!'

I screamed in rage and turned towards a wall. I then shot my fist forward and went straight through it, making a decent sized hole. I then ripped my arm out of the wall and used my other arm to assault the wall again, my fist going straight through the wall yet again. Breathing heavily I knelt down, processing what had just happened. I then placed my head up against the wall and leaned on it.

'Damn it…' I thought, tears starting to form in my eyes. 'I almost did it again… for the third time in a damn day!' I thought. 'Why am I stuck with this burden!? Why am I stuck in this world!'

I jerked my arm back and removed my fist from the wall. I then placed my back against the wall and held my head in my hand. 'I hate my life…'

"I understand how you must feel in the situation that you are in." Volteer spoke up.

I snorted. "I doubt that…" I then looked up at him. "Have you ever been stripped from your world… given powers you can't control… and be the only one of your kind in a world you are not familiar with?" I asked.

Volteer was silent for a moment before replying. "I don't suppose I have no…"

I then stood up. "I didn't think so." I said in a somewhat hostile tone. I then brought my head down to my hand again.

"But I do know this…" Volteer spoke up again and I looked back up to him. "The matter you find yourself in is not one that can be dealt with if you do not aquire help." He pointed out.

I snorted. "Yeah well this is something that isn't easily dealt with either way." I replied. "Besides… this is my problem, and if I ask for help than the person- er "being" will expect something in return, and I don't want to be in anyone's debt."

Volteer sighed. "You sound like an old student of mine…" He commented. "Neither of you understand that some beings will help others out of goodwill and will not expect anything in return."

"Well I don't see any of those beings here…" I replied. "Most of the beings in this temple either want me dead, cast out, or to be used as a weapon." I pointed out.

Volteer was silent for a moment, until he decided to walk over and sit down next to me.

"I will not lie to you, there are many here who do wish doom upon you." He spoke.

'Thanks for the pep talk…' I thought sarcastically.

"But there are a few here who would do so much for you… and if you are blind to who those beings are than you truly are a fool." He explained.

"Well I don't think I'm going to stick around for too long in order to find out." I replied.

"If you leave, you may not be able to reach your goal." Volteer pointed out.

"Well what the hell do you want me to do?" I asked.

"Stay, if not for too long than at least a day or two." Volteer asked.

"I think that would cause more harm than good, I'm not exactly "sociable"." I explained.

"I understand… but I only wish for you to try, if you are not satisfied here than you may move on." Volteer pleaded.

I looked down and thought about it for a moment, until I looked back up at Volteer.

"How do I know I can trust you to let me leave?" I asked, eyeing him suspiciously.

"Truthfully, no you cannot." He replied. "But for what its worth… I give you my word that I shall ensure that you are able to leave if you wish."

'Do not trust him, we must leave because we cannot risk the chance that we will become close to anyone here. It will only make us weak.' Psy warned. 'Don't listen to Psy, you need help whether you like it or not, and he is offering you a chance here.' Sane pointed out. I looked down in thought. 'I could either leave and not risk befriending and or hurting a being here… or I could stay and it would make it easier to get translations and be out of this world…' I then sighed.

"Fine… but I have your word on this, and I expect you to honor it." I spoke as I looked up at Volteer.

I saw a warm smile appear on his face. "Of course." He assured.

I sighed and stood up. "You mind showing me back to my room?" I asked.

Volteer nodded and stood up. He then turned around and motioned for me to follow.

"Right this way." He advised.

He then started to walk down the hallway and I followed.

'I hope I don't regret this…'

About five or ten minutes later…

We had made it to the room I had escaped from to see that there were no guards posted outside. Volteer walked over to the door and stood beside it.

"Here we are." He announced, he then looked over to me. "I shall have a guard posted outside your room, should you happen to need anything do not hesitate to ask the guard." He explained.

I simply nodded and opened the door. I was about to walk into the room when the sound of Volteer's voice stopped me.

"And Seth." He spoke.

I looked over at him with a questioning gaze.

"I appreciate your trust in me." He stated as he smiled.

"Yeah well… don't make me regret it." I replied in a somewhat hostile tone.

'Way to be an asshole...' Sane remarked. 'Oh shut it...'

His smile faltered a bit and he bowed his head a bit in response.

"Goodnight young one…" He said.

Normally I would be a bit insulted for being called young one, but for some reason… I didn't feel that much hostility towards Volteer.

"Night…" I responded as I walked into the room and shut the door.

'You are a fool for trusting him and staying here…' Psy spoke up. I was about to argue until I realized how tired I was. 'Psy, shut up… I'm too tired to hear your shit…' I replied as I walked over to the bed and slumped down on it. 'For once I agree with you...' Sane commented. I then took my IPod out and scrolled through the songs I found "Krwlng by linkin park" and selected it.

For some reason I could always fall asleep to music, and my fatigued mind was too fogged up to realize that this might attract attention.

But as the song went on my eyelids became heavy and I drifted off to sleep.

POV Switch Volteer

Volteer walked into the central room of the temple. In the center of said room was a small pool where the fire guardian Ignitus sat at the edge of. Ignitus' eyes were shut in a deep concentration as Volteer walked up to him.

"Ignitus." Volteer spoke.

Ignitus opened his eyes and looked over to Volteer.

"I am sorry to interrupt your meditation but I must inform you that I found Seth and convinced him to stay." Volteer explained.

Ignitus stood up and turned to face Volteer.

"This news is somewhat surprising but is good news at the least." Ignitus said. "Though I do not approve of you risking your life approaching the human when he was… unstable." Ignitus stated. "But now that I have heard this news I must arrange a few things."

Ignitus then started to walk towards the exit of the room but Volteer stopped him.

"Ignitus, I have earned the boy's trust." Volteer stated. "And I do not intend to break the vow I gave him." Volteer then narrowed his eyes a bit. "So you will let the boy leave if he wishes… and do not force him to do anything that he does not wish to do… or I will no longer call you friend nor my leader." He warned.

Ignitus seemed to be a bit taken aback by his sternness but quickly recovered.

"If you feel this strongly about the matter then I shall comply…" Igniuts replied.

Ignitus then walked out of the room leaving Volteer alone with his thoughts.

Volteer chuckled a bit.

'It appears I've grown a soft spot for this human…'

Meanwhile on the floating temple above the huge ass volcano…

What? That's practically what it is.

Two large yellow eyes opened from a deep concentration. I deep chuckle echoed around the temple.

"It appears everything is going according to plan…" A demonic voice spoke. "And now it is time for the next step…" The yellow eyes then looked to a purple crystal that was next to the throne. "Venor, I require your presence at once."

A second later a portal opened in front of the throne and a figure stepped through. When the figure full emerged from the vortex it disappeared.

What now stood in front of the throne was a very large cheetah with black and grey fur, the cheetah wore armor that was pure black and he carried a scythe in his right paw. He also had a large bow strapped around him that seemed to glow with a dark aura.

The cheetah bowed before the throne. "Greetings my lord, what is it that you require?" The cheetah asked.

"Venor, you are my strongest warrior and your loyalty has lasted since the beginning. I entrust you with a mission that will ensure our victory in this war." The voice spoke. "You must not fail."

Venor's red eyes looked up at the figure in the throne. "Have I ever failed you before?" He asked as he gestured to a scar over his right eye.

The demonic chuckle echoed through the temple again.

"I suppose not… but you shall regret it if you fail this time…" The voice warned. "Now… are you prepared for your task?"

Venor bowed his head. "Your wish is my command…" He replied.

"This is what I wish for you too do…"
