Chapter 15: Beginning the Autumn Journeys
It was now peaceful in the Summer Forest as the banners of Ripto's was now removed from the Castle, and was given back the Avalar banners in their rightful places again. Much to the relief of Elora, as she led the Four Brave Dragons out of the Dungeon through some passages that lead to a ladder, and was now going through the forest to the Autumn Plains Castle that she was headed towards, now that one of Ripto's minions are gone, leaving only Gulp, and Ripto himself left.
At this rate, Ripto is going to be on the ropes, should he lose his two minions. And soon, Avalar would be saved from Ripto's attempted invasion. Something that had Elora smiling with glee as she walked with the Four Brave Dragons towards the Autumn Plains. Where they hope to either get there before Ripto is able to take it over, or to save it from him if he's able to take it from Avalar before they can get there.
For now though, they were on their way there, as Elora made conversations with Spyro and his friends.
"So, what else about you guys that you can tell me?" Elora asked, remembering Cynder's talk back in the dungeon.
The Quartet had to think about it for a moment as they walked along. "Remember when we told you about our worlds that we went through?" Spyro asked.
At Elora's nod, with her remembering what they told her about their journey when they first got to Summer Forest, Spyro continued. "What we may have forgotten to tell you, it's that all of us are natives to at least three of those worlds. Flame and I are Artisan dragons, while Cynder is a Magic Crafter, and Ember is a Dream Weaver dragon." He said.
"Really? So that makes Cynder a Wizardess dragon? As well as Ember?" Elora asked.
"You can say that about me." Ember said smiling.
"Oh. And yet Cynder has dark scales, and dark powers behind the telekinesis, yet she seemed to be so… reluctant to use them. Is there a reason why?"
Cynder looked at the grass under her feet as she kept on walking. Though slowing down a bit to make sure not to bump into a tree. "Magic Crafters like me are usually born with Colorful scales, which is supposed to give us like a color motif of how skilled at magic we are. As well as how magically strong we are, and what element that we're good at. Although skill and training is what also matters more in how skilled and strong you are in magic. But, I was born with these dark scales, and it's supposed to represent my dark power, and how strong I am in using dark magic. Which… is usually an element that associates with evil." Cynder said.
"It was because of that, that she was treated like an outcast by some of the other whelps of the Magic Crafters, because of their fear that she will become such a Sorceress in the future." Ember said sadly. "And her having lost her parents didn't really help."
Elora was shocked and quickly feeling sorry for Cynder at what Ember said about her. "Oh my! I'm sorry Cynder." Elora said.
"It's okay. I had help in recovering from my past, thanks to them." She said, referring to her three friends. "The reason why I didn't use my dark powers is because I was determined to prove to the others that I was also a hero. Even though my friends told me that even with my dark powers, I would remain a hero since darkness itself isn't evil. But I still didn't want to use it. Until now that is. But it was mainly out of desperation to ensure that none of you would end up getting hurt by Crush's trick." She said.
"And you're still reluctant to use the dark magic?" Elora asked.
"Kinda. But Now I feel more… willing to shed my fear, and merely use the dark power in me to do good. Which I suppose, is what I should've done back in our adventure to Gnasty, and in Ignitus's Castle during his teaching, but I feel that it slipped my mind too." She said nonchalantly on the last part. "And I feel that I proved myself in becoming a hero without the dark power, by defeating Gnasty Gnorc, so I know I succeeded. But now I feel that I might use the dark power to beat Ripto in this journey. And I don't think that I'd mind using it now." Cynder said.
"And I have confidence, that whatever you do to him or his forces, would be so cool to see. Plus, it's on him and partially on Hunter, that is the reason why we're here. So he deserves his punishment if Cynder is on the giving side." Spyro said, grinning alongside his friends.
"Ah. That's interesting. But… not to be rude, but what happened to your parents?" Elora politely asked.
Cynder did feel a little miffed at the question, but she feels that she might as well tell her to sate her curiosity. "They vanished. There was a certain book that they were using when they disappeared, when I was just a hatchling out of my egg, and sadly, it was also gone too, according to my replacement father. So my people and my other friends searched for them throughout my life of growing up in the Magic Crafters, where I was unaware of their disappearance until I actively searched for them."
"Which was where I learned the news from my replacement father." Cynder said sadly. "I was in a dark place at that moment. No pun intended. And I just wanted to find them, or that same book, in hopes that I may be with them again, and they'd be glad to see me, and they'd love me regardless of my black scales."
"But it was easier said than done. None of the dragons could find them, and that was with the dragons from the other worlds lending a hand." Spyro said somberly.
"Oh, by the stars." Elora said sadly. "And that was when you met them?" Elora asked hopefully.
"You betcha." Cynder then said, brightening up. "Spyro and his friends helped me out of my dark place. By making me their friend. They even told me that they didn't care about the color of my scales, even finding them cool looking. And you have no idea, how delighted I was to hear that, and to learn that it was genuine. Plus, Spyro and I relate in a way."
"Y-you mean, he was also an outcast?" Elora asked in horror.
"Nope. I got along well with my Artisan people, even the whelps of my age spoke fondly of me." Spyro said assuredly.
"That's right. It is mainly because he's also an orphan like me." Cynder said, a little somberly.
Elora was shocked and surprised at what she just learned. Not only was the black dragoness an orphan, but so was the purple dragon himself. Meaning, that there was two in the Quartet that had no parents to raise them. And that had Elora not only feeling bad for Cynder, but for Spyro as well.
"Before you say anything, I wanna let you know, that It's okay. I never even knew my parents. And I was only an egg when they vanished, leaving me in the Artisans world. I just don't know why I was left there. I always wondered if they're still out there, and if they're probably with my girlfriend's parents, but I wasn't that curious about myself." Spyro said.
"Oh." Elora said softly, processing what Spyro told her. While also wondering if he ever searched for them, before giving up and moving on, or if he never felt curious about who his parents are. "W-what about Flame?"
"I have my parents, they're still alive. Well… half of them are." He said sadly. "Mommy died in an accident at the Bakery in Stone Hill. Now I only have my daddy to raise me."
Elora was again, surprised, and then saddened at what she heard from Flame. As he too lost a parent. At least it was only one parent that he lost, and he still has his dad, but it still hurts to lose a mother or father, not to mention a sibling, that she feels could've been close to him. "I'm sorry Flame. I… see that you're able to move on though?"
Flame smiled at her. "My bro helped me move on from that, by reminding me that even with the loss of my parents, I still have my life to live to the very best, especially with friends around you, and once you become a hero as well, which should have her proud of me for doing so. And besides, my father is still around to help raise me too."
Elora was delighted to see that Flame at least had his father, and that they seem to be close. Now it just left Ember, whom had Elora making a wild guess. "Have you lost your parents?" She asked.
"Nope. They're still alive. And they raised me well as Princess of the Dream Weavers. My father is the High King after all." Ember said smiling. "It is such a shame that my boyfriend lost his mother. I'm sure that she was a good dragoness and mom. If it was possible, then I'd given my life to reunite her with Flame when it happened… but then my parents would lose me, and I would've never met Flame either." Ember said sadly. Not wanting to think about her parents outliving herself.
Let alone having themselves dying too early, before Ember would grow up.
Elora was relieved that Ember still had her parents. And she was happy to see that Ember was a kind dragon who would give even her life for her friends and others. Which made her far more different from the other bad rich people, (Particularly Moneybags.) and evil princesses that she read from some books when she was younger.
"What about you? If you don't mind me asking. Are your parents still around?" Flame asked.
"Sadly, no. I don't even know my parents either. All I know is that the Fracture Hill Fauns, and Satyrs, found me in a picnic basket near a forest. And they took me in as one of them. I know that I was born in Fracture Hills though." Elora said.
Now the dragons were surprised at what she said. They didn't expect that she too would be an orphan, like Spyro and Cynder was. And they felt pretty bad for her too. But they were sure that her life wasn't as bad as Cynder's or Flame's.
Nevertheless, they felt like apologizing to her for having lost her own parents. But Elora held up her palm. "If you plan to apologize, then don't. Because it's okay. Like I said, I don't know who my parents are, and I never really searched for answers since I did enjoy my life in Fracture Hills with the other Fauns and Satyrs. Regardless of feeling different from them. Besides, I wasn't even curious about my life." Elora said.
"Oh." Flame said. Then he ended up being curious. "Why aren't you in Fracture Hills by the way? Why are you here in Summer Forest?"
Elora had to ponder her answer, feeling uncertain about delving into what makes her different from the other Fauns of Fracture Hills and Magma Cone. Not to say that she doesn't get along with any of them.
"It's cause the Professor hired me to be his assistant, alongside Hunter. He usually has me studying in Summer Forest's Castle, alongside Hunter, whom also occasionally goes to Autumn Plains, while the Professor does some experimenting in Winter Tundra. It's a nice change of pace from all the wars in Avalar, that broke out. Especially between the Breeze builders-" Elora decided to respond.
"Wait! Wars!? There are wars in Avalar?!" They asked in unison out of shock. Interrupting Elora.
"You betcha. Let's just say… some of the natives of the worlds in Avalar, aren't the best of friends." Elora said, in the most polite way possible. (Which was an understatement of the century in the view of the other Avalari natives. In the Quartet's view though, not so much.) "Especially the Breeze Builders of Breeze Harbor, and the Land Blubbers of Zephyr. They don't see eye to eye, which is why we took the six Talismans we have now, and put them in Summer Forest too. It's just so no one would be able to take all fourteen of them, and use them for bad purposes. But don't worry, that fact won't impact our upcoming journeys through Autumn Plains." She quickly added on the last part.
"Why? Are they not going to be hostile to us?" Spyro asked. Feeling reminded of the former rivalry between the Magic Crafters and the Peace Keepers.
"They shouldn't be, considering that they seem to hate only each other, and nothing else. Besides, they usually stay in their own worlds, and won't try to steal the Talismans for themselves. Also, Ripto is the more notable threat. So they should be reminded of him, and why they should give you their Talismans. Sure they battled each other before, but Ripto's probably making it worse for us all with his magic and cunning. Hopefully, we'll put a stop to that, show them the worse of the two evils in Ripto, and put peace back in Avalar. Are you all with me?"
"You got it." The Quartet said in unison, surprised at what they heard, yet excited for their upcoming time in Autumn Plains as they continued onwards.
Little did they know though, they were being followed by Hunter. Who heard the whole thing during his time in tailing them so that he'd get to Autumn Plains as well, then continue his rivalry with them until he wins. Only to hear about their past. And he was still shocked at what he heard about from the Dragon Quartet. Particularly the fact that the purple dragon and black dragoness was orphans. And that the red dragon lost his mom.
Which he tearfully admits, he relates with Spyro, and Cynder, not to mention Elora, as he doesn't even know his parents either. He was just raised by some members of his clan, including his uncle, and a pair of female Non-Cheetahs that he looks at as his mothers, considering that they are members of his clan, regardless of their race. As well as some others that he sees as his sisters. And he hopes he'd make them proud of him too.
Especially his uncle, whom he feels, isn't fond of him due to his less serious attitude, and his tendency to be a goofball, even while fighting his enemies. Sure he is a klutz, but he does fight well with his skills in archery. And he feels confident that his skill in archery would be enough to show his uncle that what he lacks in sword skill, he makes up for in being a crack shot with his bow and arrow. (After all, who does the Avalari think taught Elora in how to be a good enough archer in her own right?)
And he thought that he would be able to win some brownie points if he ended up beating the dragons in some competitions, let alone Ripto in an actual fight, regardless of his supposed cowardice. He didn't think he'd end up hearing some tragedy from the dragons being orphans though. Especially from Cynder.
"Geez. They must've been utterly heartbroken back then. I almost feel sorry for those dragons. Especially the one with the black scales." Hunter thought.
Despite that though, he wasn't giving up on their rivalry for now. Instead, he was going to try to defeat them for the right to beat Ripto, show himself as a hero of Avalar, and make his clan proud. Even though, he was doing this only to show himself as a true hero.
All he needs to do though, is tail them, and wait for his opportunity to strike, and then grasp it hard. He just thought about what he can do once he gets to Autumn Plains as he continued to sneak his way behind them to Autumn Plains. Which is something that he is also good at, despite his clumsiness. He was confident that not even Elora would be able to notice him as he followed them onwards with a grin on his face for what he plans to do for the Quartet.
Meanwhile… in Autumn Plains
A certain rich bear was walking to the outside on the Manor's entrance over a balcony that has no rails, as he huffed in indignation, as well as relief.
"*Rrmph* *Hrmph* *Ahem* Thank goodness that Ripto is gone from Summer Forest. He has caused enough damage." Moneybags said.
He then took a long sigh of relief. Since Ripto's banners were removed, and Avalar's banners were flying on Summer Forest's Castle once again, the bear returned to one of his other beloved homes in Autumn Plains. Which is in one of the other Home Worlds in Avalar.
Which was a Manor that mainly belongs to the leaders of Avalar, with Elora being one of them. It looked like a beautiful Castle, with the green shingles, large grey bricks that held it up, and happened to have a pool that was right next to the Skelos Badlands portal.
"All his antics has cost me a fortune. If it wasn't for those dragons, I'd be bankrupt." He then said, happy that they were able to drive Ripto out of Summer Forest. Even though he was still on the loose with one of his other minions.
But Moneybags frowned at the fact, that he has yet to succeed in having them pay him in Gems throughout their journey in Summer Forest. Even though he still has opportunities to make them pay him here. He just hopes that the attempts will work here. But above all, he hopes that they are still going to be able to beat Ripto once his remaining minion, who looked like a strong monster, gets taken out.
He hates him too after all. It's mainly because of forcing him to pay in damages though.
He then had a quiet growl in his throat at the thought of Ripto. "Ooooh, if that dastardly warlock were here, I'd give him a piece of my mind." He then said pacing on the balcony.
Little did he know, the said 'dastardly warlock' was riding Gulp who was walking up behind him. And despite his size, he was still unnoticed by Moneybags. "In fact, I'd give him a lot more than that."
"Why I remember, I was a champion bantam-weight Boxer back in University, and I still know a few moves." He then said, dropping his bag on the floor before raising his fists. "How'd they go again? Oh yes, take that!" He said, punching forward. "And THAT!" He then said, making an uppercut to the open air behind him.
Only to end up hitting Gulp in the jaw. Whom no sold the punch as Moneybags felt like he struck a bronze statue. That was when he noticed a now grinning Gulp that was behind him. "Oh, uhh…" He said as he saw Gulp, then noticed who was on his head.
And he was smiling too as he looked Moneybags dead in the eyes. "Boo." Ripto then said.
"WHAAHH! WHY YOU… YOU…" Moneybags said while screaming like a girl, backing away, not knowing that he was backing up towards the edge of the balcony, and was going to fall. He also tripped over his dropped bag of Gems too, which ensured that he did fall, as he now tumbled over the edge to the courtyard that was under the balcony. With the bag following him down. "WHA-AAAAAHHHHH!" He screamed during his freefall, before landing with a loud noise at the bottom. "GYOW!"
Both Ripto and Gulp closed their eyes when they heard the impact. But their smiles were not erased as Ripto ended up cackling at that scene as Gulp continued to grin, trying not to laugh too.
After all, neither of them were as fond of Moneybags either. Especially since he tried to make them pay for the plumbing, that they used to drain Aquaria Towers, for the water for his waterpark in Sunny Beach. Something that they had no choice but to pay for, but was a horrible investment in their eyes, due to the Quartet and Faun, taking back Aquaria towers and Sunny Beach from his clutches. And giving the water back to the Former, while they were at it.
It was then, that the banners of Autumn Plain's Manor ended up switching from Avalar's, to Ripto's banners. Signaling his capture of the Manor of Autumn Plains.
Elora was not going to be happy when she gets there with the Quartet.
Meanwhile… Back in the Dragon Worlds
Pyra was walking through the Peace Keeper Realm of Cliff Town by herself while the dragons continued their search for the Quartet. She was currently alone since Ignitus and the rest of the Guardians were searching through the other Realms as well as the Flight Realms, feeling that they could be in there.
She wasn't nervous about being alone though, since she knew that she was in a safe place, which was in the stomping grounds of the Peace Keeper dragons. Which also doubled as a lounging Realm for the Peace Keepers that was on a break.
The reason why she was there though, was because she was headed towards another addition to the Cliff Town.
Which was a Cemetery.
It was built there even before Gnasty's attack, where the dragons would come to rest, whether they die in battle, suffer a terminal flu that none of the doctors are able to cure, or simply let old age take away their life. It was there for a while even before Spyro and his Quartet, as well as herself, was born.
Now though, it sadly had some more headstones inside the Cemetery due to Gnasty's attack against the dragons, including the Peace Keepers. And even though he eventually lost, he did kill some of the dragons before the Quartet took him out.
Which tragically, included Pyra's parents. Whom were among the dead in Gnasty's attack on the Peace Keepers, before the World and the dragons was saved by the Quartet.
After that, she was told the tragic news of what happened to them as she hid, before getting out when the Quartet left. And she didn't take it well as she went into reclusion in her cave where her parents and herself used to live in, out of grief for what happened. And later on, when the dragons were ready to counterattack Gnasty, she left the cave to meet up with the whelps and the staying dragons in the Peace Keepers, as they gave their last respects to her parents, alongside herself. And after that, she went back to her cave as the fight against Gnasty began.
After it ended when the Quartet killed him, Titan and the other Peace Keepers dragged her out of her home to prevent her from remaining a recluse, where he became her Guardian alongside the others, and raised her, regardless of her wanting to be alone. But she later on, accepted his help in helping her move on from her parents. And after that, during the Quartet's time apart due to their punishment, she was adopted by Ignitus.
And the rest is history.
Now she was in the Cemetery, as she came up to the headstones of her parents. Whom, were friends of Titan's and Terrador's. The latter of whom, she also sees as a father to her. And now she was shedding her tears for her parents as she kneeled at their graves.
"Hey Mom. Dad. I… just wanna say, that… I'm doing fine now. Ignitus has raised me, and helped me to move on. I… just hope that… you're both proud of me." She said trying not to cry.
She still misses them after all, and she felt that it was a miracle that she was able to move on, now that Ignitus, Titan, and Terrador helped her from her depression. And she is eternally grateful to them for the help.
She still sheds her tears for her parents though, since she loved them dearly. Since not only were they kind to her, not only were they strong dragons, and not only did they raise her well, but they ended up bringing out the best in her due to their kindness towards her, regardless of her meek personality and her timid traits.
In fact, they supported her, and helped her in learning how to fight, while not judging her for her shyness. Which as was mentioned, made her the black sheep of the Peace Keeper dragons because of it. In fact, some of the dragons resented her meekness, and wanted her to toughen up. But she was protected from them by her parents when they tried to make her.
Which had her remembering at least one moment, where she was stuck in a tree due to getting chased up there by some bullies. Whom were like rabid attack dogs when they tried to force her to jump. Only to get chased off by her parents, and Titan, who had his right hand dragons with him. Where they all helped her down via catching her when she jumped. She never forgot that moment, where despite his tough exterior, Titan had a caring side for her, and never even criticized her parents for her meekness. And that is regardless of also getting annoyed at her timid nature. But he didn't criticize her for it.
Now though, even the resenting dragons were leaving her alone as she grieved for her parents in the Cemetery. But she didn't end up crying as she just let her tears flow.
"Even though I'm sure, that I'm getting better, I still wish that you're both still here with me. I wish that this war never happened, and you'd both be protecting me." She said softly.
"So too does the others who suffer such times. But it is not for them to decide. What you should do now though, is decide what to do with the life you have now." A motherly feminine voice said, coming closer. Causing her to turn startled at who it was that came up to her. Showing her that it was a pair of dragonesses.
The dragoness had yellow scales that too had some leopardlike spots on her, and had some white hairlike spines that trailed down her back. She wore a rougelike shirt that was dark yellow, and trailed down to above her hips. And she had a holstered axe on her back.
The other one, had chartreuse green scales with some dark green streaks on her underbelly. She had orange hair that trailed down her head to her upper back. She wore a witch's robe, and hat on her head, and held a scepter in her hand, that had a snow globe on the top of it, with a snowman inside.
The first dragoness, was a recent mate of Titan's, who goes by the name, Valkyra, who was a good friend of Cosmos's, as well as Cosmos's own mate, and was the reason why Cosmos and Titan never fought each other due to Titan's love for her. She also was a friend of Lume's after Gnasty's death when they met for the first time. She was among the frozen Peace Keepers that the Quartet was able to free, where after that, she guarded the whelps of the Peace Keepers to ensure that the Gnorcs won't hurt them. It is too bad though, that she was unable to save her parents when she heard about their demise, and she blamed herself. But despite that though, she was among those that raised Pyra alongside Titan prior to her adoption. (She felt that she owed her parents a favor.)
The second one, was also a recent mate of Cosmos's, named Luna. She was a good friend of Valkyra, as well as Lume's. And she was among the other great wizardess dragons that was good at what they do, and happened to be quite cunning herself to where Cosmos started to fall in love with her. And she was a nice dragoness who was good at ice spells. Just don't steal her scepter.
And despite the Peace Keepers being more warriorlike and more hot blooded, and despite the Magic Crafters being more level-headed, and calmer, both Valkyra and Luna were the opposite of each other, since Valkyra was calmer and levelheaded, while Luna was more outgoing to the point of being energetic.
Though Valkyra does make up for her calm and quiet traits by being a great fighter that defended the young whelps after her freedom by the Quartet's hand, and fought among the army in the Gnorc worlds when the dragons counterattacked Gnasty, prior to his fake surrender. While Luna also was cunning as was just mentioned, and she does end up calming down and focusing when serious. But most of the time though, she was a bit loopy and energetic.
"After all, I'm sure that they're happy in the afterlife, now that you're still here. And living life well." Valkyra said, kneeling downwards to meet Pyra's gaze. "Especially since they'll be bound to know that saving you wasn't in vain."
"I understand Valkyra." Pyra said, smiling politely at her.
"And I have confidence, that they're proud that you're able to move on from your pain, and live as a fellow Peace Keeper that can breathe other elemental breaths, just like the Four Brave Dragons themselves." Luna said smiling back at her alongside Valkyra.
Pyra couldn't stop herself from smiling again, considering her similarity to the Quartet since she too can breathe the other elemental breaths. Which she ended up discovering after Titan became her new father before Ignitus adopted her. As well as before the Quartet reunited to go to Gnasty's loot.
Which she remembered hearing about from word on the road, about what they did there, and how they were rich after that. As well as later having their own headquarters that was in the Artisans World.
She just hoped that once they return, she may meet them, become their friends, and probably be invited to their headquarters to see how good it looked on the inside. She just couldn't wait for that to happen.
But that had to wait, as she continued to mourn her parents at their graves as both dragonesses left her to her devices, telling her to take her time. Then to resume her search once she's done.
She plans to, as she looked up at the sky, feeling that her parents could be smiling down on her from the afterlife. Which had her recalling a lyric from a song she heard.
"But drenched in the Realm's Twilight, I sit on the stone seats all night. Waist deep in thought because when I think of you, I don't feel so alone." She softly sang, feeling that the lyric applies to herself when she thinks about her parents. Especially after Ignitus's therapeutic dreams she had.
Which, is why she grew to love Ignitus like a father. Regardless of her Peace Keeper blood, and his Dream Weaver blood.
Soon she left the Cemetery, ready to return to searching for the Quartet when she saw something that shocked her.
A Gnorc with a single tooth that stuck out of his underbite, was trying to leave Cliff Town, while holding an egg in his arms.
Which usually, after Gnasty's demise, the Gnorcs also took the jobs as babysitters, raising the eggs to their days of hatching, and beyond it while the parents are away. And at first, that's what Pyra hoped it'd be.
But what the Gnorc said, caught her off guard. "You'll fetch a great price as an item for a thief to take. But maybe you'll make a great pet."
"STOP RIGHT THERE! Where are you taking that egg?!" Pyra yelled out. (Something that she doesn't do often.)
As startled as the Gnorc was, he didn't really look nervous when he laid eyes on Pyra. In fact, he just looked annoyed at her, showing that it isn't a friendly Gnorc that she stopped. "Oh look, you must be that Pyra girl." He said casually.
"I am. Who are you and what do you want with that egg?" She asked a little nervously.
He initially didn't want to answer her. But he did so anyway since he feels that she might be unable to do anything about it. Considering her meekness. "Who I am is not important. But what I plan to do with this egg, is to create our pet, among other pets that we'll get from the other eggs that we took. Who shall be the driving force behind our remnant forces, and our future war against you lot." He said.
Pyra was shocked at what she heard. "But that egg belongs to a Peace Keeper dragon! You're separating him/her from his/her parents!" She cried out.
The bad Gnorc was unphased however. "And I'm supposed to care, because…?" He said, much to Pyra's chagrin.
"That dragon in that egg, IS GOING TO BE AN ORPHAN LIKE I WAS!" She angrily shouted the last part. Making the Gnorc cover his ears. "Can't you imagine how it feels to lose a parent? Someone you loved due to how they treat you regardless of your black sheep status? I can! Because Gnasty's minions killed mine! Don't you have a care about how a dragon feels?"
"And again, I'm supposed to care, because…? Because let me tell you something, since those 'Four Brave Dragons' killed our leader, a majority of us just gave up like cowards. But us, the 'Gnasty's Teeth' have hid in his loot, and we had no choice but to watch those same dragons steal our master's treasure, thus rubbing salt on our wound. Now, we get to strike back, because we have a new master, who is going to help us with our revenge against you all. And with this, and the other eggs that we also took to our hideout, she's going to be pleased, once 'Gnasty's teeth', the remnant of his army, is able to deliver them to her." The Gnorc then explained. Thus telling Pyra, that he is definitely a bad Gnorc.
"Who is your new master?" She asked angrily, regardless of her nervousness at the thought.
"As if I'd tell you. Now, are you going to buzz off, or do I get to smoosh you too?" He said. Implying that he might've crushed an egg.
Which, at that moment, awakened a raging fire inside of Pyra. Which burned inside of her like a forest inferno, but she wasn't showing it to the Gnorc yet as she just kept a calm stance towards the Gnorc, yet had her icy glare focused on him that would've froze the Gnorc in place if it was possible.
"Or, I get to smoosh you. Better say your prayers, cause I'm a Peace Keeper too, and I would die for any egg like any mom or big sister would. NOW BRING IT ON!" She then yelled out as she charged at the Gnorc, who was ready to fight back.
Only to get clobbered by Pyra, as she also showed off just how much of a Peace Keeper dragon that she was too. Which impressed both Valkyra and Luna who saw the whole thing.
And they were proud of her for showing her protective side to them should an egg be in danger. Now they just needed to find where their hideout is, considering that there's other eggs that they just learned, they have also took. They hope that Pyra would let the Gnorc live for interrogating.
Meanwhile… Back in Summer Forest
A cloaked figure was walking through Summer Forest after jumping along the branches of the trees in the forest.
His cloak was red, as it hid his face, other than his lower half that was a little illuminated by the sun. If anybody were to look close, they'd see that it looked like a cheetah's face.
And he was in Summer Forest, and was on his way to the Castle, after hearing the news of its Castle's liberation by the hands of the heroes that defeated one of Ripto's minions. Whom was said to be a Quartet of dragons, and one of the leaders of Avalar, whom is a Faun.
He was there for a different reason however, as he was looking for someone. Someone who was quite close to him, and he knew that he was in Summer Forest as he walked. Though little did he know, the person he looked for was out of Summer Forest.
It was a little while, before he was able to make it to the Castle of Summer Forest, seeing Avalar's banners being displayed on the walls, showing him that Ripto no longer owns the Castle. Much to his relief, as it was where that someone he was looking for, should be. That is, if he's not staying in either Winter Tundra, or Autumn Plains.
"Those dragon heroes have done well. Our current leader has made a good choice in sending them here." He said to himself, feeling proud of that Faun and the Four Brave Dragons for their rescue of Summer Forest's Castle.
He however, ended up huffing in disappointment. "Now if only 'he' was that good enough to do it too. Hopefully he's accepting those dragon's help, regardless of his pride." He then said to himself, feeling disappointed in whom he refered to as his felllow clan member.
"Now I wonder where you are in there?" He then asked as he continued to walk.
After jumping over the gap of the bridge that was made by Ripto, he was now outside as he walked to the water where the entrance to the Castle was. Only to suddenly see some Seahorses and some Colossi was swimming around in the pond in front of the entrance of the Castle. Along with some turtles, as they were celebrating.
The figure decided to take out his hand, showing that it was yellow and white furred with spots, before slapping the surface a bit to grab their attention. Causing them to swim up to the surface.
Where the Colossi was taking off their breathing masks and the seahorses was looking at him with surprise in their eyes, as they recognized who it was under the cloak. "Oh! Hello there. I'm guessing you're here from the village? Have you heard that Summer Forest has been liberated from that dastardly warlock?" The seahorse asked.
"Yes. I have heard the news." The figure said under his hood. "It is a good day to learn that the Castle is no longer dangerous territory for us to enter, now that this tyrannical Sorcerer is gone, at least from this place. And it's all thanks to those heroes." He then said, referring to the dragons. "And I understand that one of the leaders is with them too?"
"Indeed." One of the Colossi said. "I've even learned that she's putting her training in Archery to use, as she was able to defeat the Gear Grinders with those arrows of hers, and she's pretty strong herself."
"Ah. Right." The figure said, reminding himself of a certain someone's class. "Considering 'who' her trainer is I am not surprised." He then said. "Speaking of whom, I'm looking for him. He should go by the name, Hunter." He then said. Saying the last part with a deadpan tone.
"Hunter?" The Colossi and Seahorse wondered. Then the Seahorse was surprised. "OH! You mean that Cheetah Archer that did some skateboarding in Colossus, and Manta racing in Aquaria Towers?"
"He what?!" The figure asked in surprise at what he heard.
"Yeah, he did some racing on a Manta Ray in Aquaria Towers. He was actually pretty good since he got first place on almost all of our race tracks. Regardless of his Ray's disobedience though." The Seahorse said.
"Not to mention some skateboarding back in Colossus, not to far from the ice rink. I never seen someone pull off those moves." The Colossi said.
As they conversated, the figure was inwardly facepalming at what he heard. After all, he did remember what is like to have known the archer.
And he happened to be different from himself, not only in looks, but also in behavior. Due to the fact that he's a joker, and a bit of a goofball. While the figure, who seems to know who he is, and whom is looking for him, is more serious and level headed.
And to hear what he was doing now, left him feeling disappointed.
"It is nice that he did those things, yes. But where is he now going?" The figure asked.
"Autumn Plains last I heard." The Colossi said.
"Thank you. Now I must take my leave as I go to that place." The figure then said, ready to leave.
"Aren't you going to stay a little bit? We were going to have a celebration party in the Castle for its freedom." The Seahorse said.
"I'm afraid I have no time, as nice as it is for me to partake in it with you folks. I just got to make sure that, that someone will be alright. And I'm also gonna have a word with him." He then thought the last part as he walked away till he was back in the Forest, where he walked to the direction of the Autumn Plains.
While he walked though, he took out his little scroll parchment that he proceeded to write on. "It seems that 'He' isn't in Summer Forest." He wrote before the ink faded into the parchment.
Then a new sentence was now drawn on the paper. "Then it seems that he wants to take the glory that he doesn't deserve anymore." It said before fading, telling the figure that he's being messaged back from whom he was writing to.
"I understand that what he did to bring that dark sorcerer here was the worst thing that his clumsiness has done. But I'm certain that removing his cowardice, and his pride for himself, would yield that tyrant's defeat." The figure wrote back to the parchment as the words faded.
"But even then, now that the dragons are here, he should put aside his pride, and let them be the heroes that Avalar needs. Knowing him however, he'd hog the glory from them, or at least try to. And that, is why we are all making a decision of what to do to him. I humbly apologize for what we're going to do." The writing responded, causing the figure to look down at the grass as his arms limped down. While still keeping a hold on the parchment. Almost as if he was saddened at what 'it' means by the decision.
"I understand that too. That is why I plan to make him swallow his pride. And offer his support to those heroes too. Otherwise, he truly has become disgraceful to us." He wrote back. "And I hope to let you know if he does turn himself around."
"If so, then he truly has surprises, and we've underestimated his honor. That is, if he's able to show it. But for now, don't lose him to that Tyrant, or his own undoing." The message responded.
"As you wish." He wrote back, before packing in his parchment, and continuing onwards through the Summer Forest, on route to Autumn Plains.
Which is where the Quartet and Elora was now arriving to the Autumn Plains, after they were in the grassy meadows outside of the forest, and was coming up to one of the mountains that was among the others, that Elora was smiling at as they were walking towards the foot of the mountain as she explained to the Quartet about the Autumn Plains, and how it was one of the Home Worlds of Avalar that she often stays in. Especially since it had a direct way to Fracture Hills via a Portal. And how it had a beautiful Castle-like Manor on the top of it that she mentioned was built and designed by the leaders.
Once she found the doorway in the mountain that she had to search for since it was hidden, she and the Quartet entered it to find an elevator, and a teleporter, both of which would send them to Autumn Plains. (Which is why the doorway to those transports were hidden.)
Once in Autumn Plains, she and the Quartet looked around at their surroundings. And they all had to say, it was the most beautiful thing they ever saw.
Especially with the familiar sight of the Manor of the Autumn Plains, as well as the pool that had a Portal to Skelos Badlands close to it, that they were transfixed by, before realizing that it was the same Castle that was on one of Nevin's paintings.
"Is that…!?" They thought in surprise as they all realized that what they were looking at, was what Nevin might've been to, to inspire him to paint that Manor. And it seems that the Manor that they were now close to, was the Autumn Plains Manor that Elora mentioned, was the most beautiful part of Avalar. And they found it impossible to disagree with her on that part.
It seems that they have plenty of things to tell Nevin about, once they return.
What was not beautiful however, was the banners of Ripto's that was on the Manor, showing them his ownership of it. And showing them that they were too late in preventing him from taking it. And Elora was both angered and saddened at that fact. She wished that she was there sooner, to see if they could stop Ripto from taking the Manor from Avalar.
At least they were now there to liberate it from Ripto's clutches. As they reminded Elora of that to stop her from silently crying. Which she appreciated as she kept on focusing on rescuing the Manor after a moment of brooding.
"Alright guys, we just need to find a way in, while we gain the Talismans, and then we must defeat Ripto to take back this place. Or die trying." She said, shivering a little at how cold it was as she escorted them through the Home World.
Which is what the Quartet also noticed as they felt the crisp cool air of the Autumn Plains on their scales, which was a contrast to the warm air of the Summer Forest. It wasn't a bad feeling though, as the air was only borderline a little too cold for them. Just right, to where it was an enjoyable kind of cold air on their scales.
Elora didn't mind the cold either.
"But first, how about we take a break here. After all, we did have a pretty long walk to this place." Elora said, sitting down on the grass.
As much as the Four Brave Dragons wanted to keep on going, they did end up agreeing with Elora, since they felt that a little break was appropriate for this moment, since they wanted to look around at their surroundings more, take in the sights, and relax a bit in the Autumn air.
So that's what they did as they sat down on the grass alongside Elora, close to the pool.
With the dragon couples of Spyro and Cynder, and Flame and Ember, close together as they laid on their fronts or backs, taking in the atmosphere of the Autumn Plains alongside Elora.
And she was looking at the scene, feeling inwardly coy at the scene in front of her, seeing both pairs of dragons together did have her feeling warm on the inside at seeing them together.
Even if a part of her did admit it, she did feel a little envious about the fact that Cynder was able to get Spyro as a boyfriend before she could. But she feels happy for her and Spyro as well. Even if she wanted to be with him too.
But she kept that to herself, not feeling ready enough for that yet.
With the Quartet, they all continued to admire the scenery of Autumn Plains. They just loved the sight of the Manor, the grass that was still green, and the falling golden leaves that loitered the grass around them. Not to mention the pool, that they were interested to swim around in, even though it could be cold for them to swim inside due to the air of the Autumn Plains.
Not only that, but there was the Castle-like walls that was around the open field of the Autumn Plains, that they guessed they could walk on, as well as some other sights of some floating islands that was not to far from the Autumn Plains, that they were interested in flying to, if they were able to that is.
They also noted the potential for dating in the Autumn Plains, considering the Gazebo that had a portal under it, that was connected to a spiral ramp that went upwards to an elevated patio. If they replaced the portal with a sort of table, then the scenery would work as the appropriate atmosphere for any dates to go on. Especially for both of the dragon couples.
They really had a lot to speak to Nevin about, should they meet him again back in the Dragon Worlds. And they were excited at the thought of that.
"Who designed this Manor by the way?" Spyro asked.
"Moneybags." Elora said bluntly. "I know, that cheapskate is good at designing this. But he doesn't own that place, as it's mainly the home of the leaders of Avalar, including me." She then said.
Which was a relief for the Quartet, since if it was his, then they'd probably be charged with plenty of Gems if they want to stay there for at least a day. And considering his seemingly greedy traits, they'd probably lose a lot of Gems during their impending journey through the Autumn Plains Manor. And that would be if the portals inside the Manor doesn't count. Which could include Fracture Hills.
Speaking of which… "What was it like to have been raised there?" Spyro asked.
"It was good actually. The Satyrs, and the other Fauns were nice, and the partying was pretty fun too. And like I said in Summer Forest, they could be a bit prissy, and sassy, but they're friendly. And I just know that they'll like you guys. Just watch out for the Earthshapers."
"Earthshapers?" The Four Dragons asked.
"They're basically large rock golems that, true to their name, they move the earth around to make some ground for us to walk on. But they also shape the ground to cause mischief for us, and they resent the music that the Satyrs play on their bagpipes. So they sometimes try to take Fracture hills, but they usually lose to us." Elora said.
"Wow. They must be dangerous." Ember said.
"As long as you don't get too close to them, then they shouldn't be too much. But they shouldn't be taken lightly since they're strong, despite being as… unintelligent as rocks." The Four Dragons chuckled at that, knowing the accuracy of that statement. "But with Ripto around, they might truly conquer Fracture Hills if they have help from him. So we must make sure to save that place if they're threatening to take it. It is my home after all."
The Quartet didn't need to be told twice. They were prepared to go to Fracture Hills, and save that place when given the opportunity. Which, since they can climb the ladders due to practice in climbing with Elora, back in Sunny Beach, and in the Summer Forest Castle to grab the Orb that was in the same room with the ladder, (And that was after they got another hidden Orb in Summer Forest when they swam underwater to it.) it seems that it was now the time to do so.
For now though, they were relaxing. And later, practicing more of their Dragon Kata with each other, in preparation of using it against their foes in Avalar while learning more of the basics from the book that they carried throughout the Home Worlds. (And feeling relieved that the water that they swam inside hadn't seeped in their bags, and ruined the pages.)
"What are those fighting moves by the way?" Elora asked, curious about the style of fighting that they used against the foes they fought against in Sunny Beach and Hurricos.
"It's called Dragon Kata. It's a fighting style of martial arts for us dragons to use against our enemy." Flame said during his spar with Spyro. "It looks like it'd be a fun style to master against our enemies."
"It looks so cool." Elora admitted. Having been impressed with their fighting skills in Hurricos.
"I know. It looks so fun to fight in this style. If only it wasn't so hard to master this style of fighting though." Spyro said. "But we'll master it. Even if it's gonna take awhile." He then said. Showing Elora how optimistic he was being.
Which had her delighted by that, feeling proud of Spyro for continuing to try to master the moves regardless of how difficult it was. (Same could be said for his friends too.)
"How long would it take to fully master that style?" Elora asked curiously.
"A couple years I'm afraid. Possibly up to twenty." Cynder said, feeling dismayed. "Which is a shame, but we're determined to master this style before that many years pass."
"And we hope that we'll be the best at using the style by the time we do." Spyro said determined.
Which Elora did hope that would happen, as she'd be proud of them if they do so. Which should make them quite special in her eyes. Which makes her even more glad that they're here in Avalar, to help save it from Ripto, as they continued to Spar with each other.
Before eventually cooling off in the pool of Autumn Plains, which wasn't too cold for them to take a dip in, but cold nonetheless. Which was when they took a look at the Portal that was quite close to the pool. "What's in there?" Spyro asked, focusing on the Portal to Skelos Badlands.
"I reckon that would be Skelos Badlands. It's a burning hot place, full of lava, fire spitting Catbats, and even fire wizards, and did I mention it has lava?" Elora responded. "It's why we put that Portal there. It's hot there that we'd need a quick dip in the pool to cool off."
The Quartet couldn't help but cringe at the mention of Lava. After all, they did know how scary lava could be, since it was said to be hotter than fire to where they'd melt inside. And they already had enough flashbacks to chasing Gnasty over such a hazard as it is.
But they didn't let it bother them too much, since they could be standing on more stable ground than the platforms that Gnasty, had them standing on in his Realm.
At least, they hoped it would.
They were now on the tallest point of the Autumn Plains Manor when they decided to explore more of the place, with the Quartet looking out on the tower at the sights of the Autumn Plains from above. And they were looking on at the sights with their mouths agape at how pretty the sight of Autumn Plains from the tower.
And Elora was still on the ground, flagging them to show where she is. Just so they wouldn't wonder where she would be when they return to the floor level of the Autumn Plains.
Right now though, they were speechless, and in awe of the sight in front of them, and below them, since it was the most prettiest sight of the Autumn Plains that they could ever think about as of now. And they could see why Elora was fighting for the World of Avalar, and the Realms inside, which includes this Realm.
Even though they also met up with a certain Bear that that seems to follow them around like a bad smell, and in this case, he was near a door way that lead to a castle in the distance, and they felt that they might have to pay him, as they had nothing to use to skip trying to pay the Bear, for a way to one of the Portals in a distant tower, known as Shady Oasis.
Which they remembered like it was just seconds ago. (Even though it was only a minute.)
They didn't pay him yet though, but they feel that should there be nothing they could do, then they may have no choice.
Which, seeing the tiny Castle from the Tower, that was in the distance from the room that they were once in, and noticing that the door was shut, and looked like it was a strong door that none of them would get through, it seemed to them that they may indeed have no chance to get there without paying that Greedy Bear. Which is much to their dismay.
Getting that thought out of their heads though, they reminded themselves that they're on the tower of the Manor of Autumn Plains, about to glide off of it back to the grounds of the Autumn Plains for the fun of it, once they're ready.
At least, until they saw something that was in the distance, that caught their interest.
It was a tall spire that happened to have a flat ground on top, and on that spire, there happened to be a pair of Gem baskets, and an Orb. Something that they were also looking for, alongside the Talismans.
So they all decided to change their plans a little, and was now ready to glide off of the tower to the Spire in the distance. As they proceeded to jump, and let the air help their wings glide them to the Spire.
It took close to half a minute as they descended to the Spire, much to Elora's surprise as she wondered where they were all gliding to. Then she noticed the Spire too, as it was high enough to be seen by her as well. How she didn't notice that Spire until now, she'll never know.
As nerve-wracking as it was to probably miss the tower, and fall to their doom, they ended up making it to the Spire without any trouble. All while it was also breathtaking to glide through the air of Autumn Plains, feeling the pleasant wind on their scales, and their wings. Even though not all of them landed at the same time, which caused them to tumble onto each other.
"OOF!" They all said as they now laid on the ground of the spire. Where the dragon couples were cuddling with each other on the spire, with Cynder on top of Spyro, and Ember on top of Flame. And all of them were close to the edge, little did they know.
They were blushing, but they didn't feel embarrassed, as they proceeded to nuzzle each other, not caring about the accident.
"I still love you Spyro/Flame." Cynder and Ember said, smiling.
After a beat, Spyro and Flame smiled back at them as they cuddled. "I love you too, Cynder/Ember."
All while Elora looked on at that scene. A part of her had to admit it to herself, she wished that she was either in Cynder's place, or better yet, cuddling with both Spyro and Cynder on the Spire.
But does she really want to cuddle with Spyro and Cynder? Even though they obviously have each other to love? She didn't know. But she didn't think about it too much, since she also saw them as merely friends. Nothing more.
Or so she thinks, for the latter.
Once they were done cuddling, they proceeded to break the baskets, get the Orb, and glide back to the wall, and onto the ground where she was when they saw that the Spire was high enough for them to reach the Castle wall.
"I'm guessing that there were Gems on the Spire?" Elora asked.
"Yep. And there was also an Orb on there too." Spyro said.
"Really?! Well, that's one way to hide that Orb from Ripto. Let alone make it hard for him to gain it." Elora said.
"So that is why there are Orbs all over the place! And it's to make sure that Ripto can't use them?" Cynder asked.
"You betcha. Who knows what Ripto would do, if he gets those Orbs back, and returns to his lair. He might come back with another scepter. He might get stronger." Elora said nervously. "Which is why, we should make sure that Ripto shall not get those orbs into his clutches. Can all of you do that for me?" Elora asked, bending down to meet their gazes.
"So be it then. We'll make sure that Ripto won't get his hands on those Orbs. We can promise you that." Spyro said, with his friends in agreement.
Elora smiled at them before hugging them. "I'm so glad that that we got lucky in having you four here in Avalar with us. I don't know how we've gotten lucky to have you here. But I'd rather not think about what would happen if we never had any of you here. I just hope, that Ripto wouldn't be too much for you."
"Don't worry Elora, we can handle him." Spyro said with the Quartet in agreement.
"Cause with us together, no foe of ours can win." Cynder said.
Elora was happy to hear that, and she felt confident that what they say is true. At this rate, Avalar is indeed safe.
Otherwise… moving out doesn't seem like a bad idea. She just hopes that she might be able to go to the Dragon Worlds with them, if it's possible.
Later…
Hunter was huffing as he got onto the grounds of the Autumn Plains. Even though he felt a bit tired from the mountain climbing up to the Autumn Plains, he was grinning at how he made it.
He planned on entering the Autumn Plains in the same way that Elora, and the Quartet did, having trailed them all the way to there, but the other way to Autumn Plains, via Elevator, was unfortunately broken due to some 'weight issues' that was caused by a certain Dinosaur.
So, he had to choose another way up, which is by mountain climbing. It wasn't a bad way, since he'd get in some exorcise, and test his physical capability. Sure it was tiring, but it was worth it as he was able to get to the top. Although, now that he's here, Elora and the Four Dragons were no where to be found, possibly because they were now in one of the Realms in Autumn Plains.
But he didn't think about that too much, as he was looking around, he smiled at the beauty of the Autumn Plains as he walked to the Manor, also feeling that it was a beautiful place to be. And he would be putting his all into saving and protecting it from Ripto's presence.
Speaking of which, he saw that there was his banners on the Manor. Which had him both annoyed, yet elated to see that, since he has his opportunity to prove himself to Elora, that despite his clumsiness, he is a hero that Avalar needs. Not those dragons that just came to their World, due to his reason why he didn't try to fight Ripto, back in Winter Tundra when he first arrived.
And he felt, that now, was his chance to prove himself as he planned on how he can defeat the dragons, and prove to Elora that he's the Cheetah for the job in beating Ripto.
Not noticing that someone else has just arrived in Autumn Plains before him.
"Now, how can I show Elora, and those dragons my stuff? Wait, I did hear that Metro Speedway's Mayor was getting robbed by some Cat burglers. How about I help him with that problem while showing her my performance? That could win her back to my side." He said quietly, fantasizing himself impressing some Fauns and Elora with his heroism in Metro Speedway, Fracture Hills, and even both Zephyr and Breeze Harbor.
Suddenly, he heard a sound. *Thnk*
Which sounded like a sword was being stabbed into the dirt behind him. Which startled him out of his fantasy as he looked behind him, suddenly seeing that there was a Sabre sword stabbed into the ground.
Which on inspection, looked like it was made in a familiar village, courtesy of the blacksmith, what with the spotted pattern on the hilt's crossguard, while having a curved pure white blade part of the sword that curved a bit inwards, almost like a Katana sword that Hunter remembers seeing some warriors wielding in Avalar.
Kind of like some familiar swords that he remembers seeing back in his village. Which at that thought, put a cold chill up his back at what that sword means.
"I see that you haven't put aside your pride, and that you're still trying to steal their thunder. I suppose I should've expected such a disappointing turn of events from you." A voice said to Hunter.
Causing him to turn to suddenly see that there was a familiar figure in the red cloak. Only he was now unhooded, showing his face to Hunter, which also looked like a cheetah. Also, his cloak was open, showing what looked like an archer's tunic that was a reddish-brown color, a pair of red arm bands on his wrists that reached his hands, and his elbows, while having a red strap that wrapped around his hand in between his index finger, and his middle one. While he also had red wrappings that covered his shins. What made him different from hunter, other than his clothing, was that he had ringlets on his body, while only having spots on his head.
And he also had a bow on his back, while having a quiver of arrows on his hip. But he also had a saber in its holster on his hip too, that he had his hand close to, and he was looking at Hunter with an unamused look on his face, like Hunter told a horrible joke, and was letting him know that.
All while Hunter looked back at him in shock and slight horror at what he was seeing, as he near instantly recognized who it was that was now walking towards him, like he was ready to duel.
"Surprised to see me, Nephew?" He then asked.
"UNCLE HUNTER?!" Hunter said in shock after getting out of his speechless state.
And done.
DUN-DUN-DUUUUUNNN! It seems that another cheetah is in Avalar, and he happens to be Hunter's uncle. And did he mention that he also has Hunter's name? And there's a village of them in Avalar? Stay tuned for the next chapter.
Also, yes. Cynder is pretty much shedding her fear of using her dark powers. As she is now using them for protecting herself and her friends, including Elora.
And is Elora, possibly going to gain a dragonfly of her own? Or is Spyro and Cynder going to share one of their own with her? Stay tuned for the next chapter.
And this time, shout out to shirkahn, for the idea of Hunter. As some of you might've saw from the review section.
Finally, one more thing.
