Pyro meets Spyro

Chapter 3: Pyro the king of the Dragon City

This chapter is one of my favorites it helps tell the story of who Pyro is and I'm glad I get to show all of you. One more thing I might not be posting for a week or two because I'm making a new story, "The legend of Spyro: The Hybrid Village". Please read and post reviews. Enjoy!

The Dragon Temple:

Pyro and the others were sitting in the temple where the pool of visions was located. While Pyro told his story everyone looked into the pool of visions so they had a visual aid. Pyro began to tell his story of where he came from and how he came to be in the Warfang.

Pyro began, "So what I'm basically saying is that Star and I from a dragon city in a different dimension. The dragon city where we are from is twice the size of this one. Also I am king of the city that I am from, and all who live there. Star is my mate she is queen of the city. Everyone in the room had their jaws dropped. They couldn't believe what this dragon was saying. They all felt kind of honored being in the presence of a real king, they also felt a little awkward because they had treated him so casually.

They all looked into the pool of visions and were astounded at what they saw. A city not much different from their own, but still different was right before their eyes. They saw that Pyro was right. The dragon city they saw in the pool of visions was twice the size of Warfang and was fully populated by dragons.

Terrador was the first to recover his composure and speak to the young king, "Please excuse our earlier behavior Pyro. We were unaware that were in the presence of a real royal." He then slightly bowed his head. Cyril and Voltere soon followed. Ember and Flame followed their example and finally Spyro and Cynder.

Pyro and Star shook their heads as they said, "That's not necessary." Pyro continued, "I appreciate the apology, but I'm the guest in your land. I should be thanking you for helping us."

Before he could continue Sparx flew up and said, "Hold on a second. How do we know you're not just saying you're a king? You're no older than Spyro so you should be a prince or something. I'm pretty sure your father's the real king, right?" Cyril then followed Sparx's statement, "I hate to admit it, but Sparx does have a point. You are a bit young to be a king my friend." The two were soon silenced when they saw the look on Pyro's face. It was look of pain, sorrow, and anger.

Pyro then responded to their question, "My father and my mother were taken from me, when I was a newborn hatchling. My father gave his life to protect my mother, and my mother gave herself up to protect me. I was raised by a foster family for 16 years before I figured out who I am and returned to my home. I found out about my father's death from the very man who did it. After a while I became strong enough I managed to save my mother.

Everyone felt the awkwardness in the room; especially the ones who caused it. Spyro was the first break the silence, "Sorry about that Pyro, my brother doesn't think before speaks. I'm sorry about what happened to your parents. I know what it feels like to lose someone like that. I lost my mentor Ignitus during the war. He gave his life so we could defeat Malefor together. He was the closest thing I had for a father."

Pyro gave Spyro a concerned look as he said, "I'm sorry Spyro, and it's okay. I kind of expected one of you to say something about my age when I told you. I've been in a few wars myself and I know what it feels like to lose someone you've grown close to." Flame decided he wanted to get in on the conversation. He stepped forward and said, "Well it's great to meet you Pyro. Finally I have another fire dragon to hang out with. Maybe you and me can have a sparring match some time." Ember spoke next, "Yeah I would love to see how a dragon from a different dimension fights."

Pyro and Star shared nervous glances. Pyro then said, "Sorry guys, but I don't think that's a good idea. You see I'm king of the dragon city for a reason. I'm the strongest dragon in the city and I've only been defeated by one dragon, my rival, Razor. I posses a power that no one else in the dragon city possesses, it's called Ancestral Energy." Spyro, Cynder, Flame, Ember, and the Guardians all dropped their jaws. Cynder then asked the question on everyone's mind, "What is this 'Ancestral Energy'?" Flame then remembered the golden beam he saw shoot out the stone wall. He then said, "Was it that golden beam you shot out from that burning building?" Pyro nodded answering his question. Flame then said, "It kind of looked like your convexity element, Spyro, except it was gold not purple." Spyro's eyes shot wide. He couldn't believe there was another dragon with power like that.

Pyro then said, "The Ancestral Energy belongs to my families' blood line alone. It has a lot more uses than battle. It can heal injuries, increase speed, and protects me from other attacks." The guardians and Spyro were very intrigued by Pyro's power. Cynder than spoke next, "Is that what makes you the strongest dragon in your city?" Pyro shook his head no. He then said, "As the king of the dragon city, as soon as you are old enough to fight and talk. Not only that the Kings, Queens, Prince, and Princesses are naturally gifted in combat."

Pyro then continued his tale, "Another reason I'm the most powerful dragon in the city is because I have this power called nova mode."Flame being a curious fire dragon was the first to ask, "What's 'Nova Mode'?" Pyro stood up and walked to a space away from the others. He then closed his eyes and began to concentrate. Everyone gasped as his body lit on fire. Everyone thought Pyro was being hurt but when they saw that Star was completely calm they too calmed down. Pyro opened his eyes and said, "THIS is nova mode. This mode increases my elemental and physical strength by at least five. I have different levels and each level increases my strength even more." Pyro turned off his nova mode and sat back down.

Everyone looked completely terrified at this young dragon's power. Flame swallowed and said, "You're quite the power house aren't you?" Star then interrupted by saying, "His power doesn't stop there either." Everyone turned to her and looked back at him to see if he was telling the truth. Pyro nodded and said, "She's right. I was given a great honor back home. I was named the new elemental master of fire." Ember was quick to say, "That sounds like you received the same title as a guardian." Pyro nodded and said, "It's a very similar process. When the time comes for the next elemental master to be chosen the previous master trains to use his element to its maximum potential."

Voltere was very intrigued by what Pyro was saying. He then asked, "So were you trained by your former master." Pyro nodded and said, "His name was Fernis and he was kind enough to pass the eternal power of the flame to me. As the name implies you become the complete master of whatever element you are."

Flame then asked, "Sooooo as an elemental master what can you do?" Spyro followed him up and asked, "Yeah what makes it special? I'm dying to know." Pyro decided to put an end to their suspense and said, "Well, first of all as the master of fire I can absorb heat from any heat source; I absorb energy from the sun at a constant rate during battle and can use to it replenish my energy or heal my wounds. Also when I transform into my elemental master mode I can even absorb the heat from other fire dragons' attacks. The best part, since it is obvious that there are other people who have become talented with their abilities and have made their own style of combat and created their own moves, I can instantly analyze, copy, and use their moves after only seeing it once.

Everyone's jaws dropped and this dragon's powers were off the scale. Voltere then stepped forward and said, "I think I just figured out why you are here." Pyro and the others had confused looks and asked, "WHY?" Voltere then said, "Have you ever heard of someone called the Chronicler?" Pyro then said, "Actually I think I have. It was in one of my father's old journals. He's the guy who keeps the history of all dragons. He also interferes with other dragons lives if there is ever a great danger in the future." Voltere nodded and said, "That is correct. I think the Chronicler brought you here because of you amazing fire abilities. I think a great evil is coming and he obviously thinks that we need your help. Also I think you could teach Flame your fire techniques since he is the fire guardian."

Pyro then turned to Star who nodded and then turned back to the guardians. He then said, "Well as long as we're here we'll do anything we can to help. I'll do whatever I can because whatever's going on involves all of us." Star and the others smiled at Pyro's answer. Terrador then said, "Well get some rest young dragon tomorrow Spyro, Cynder, Flame, and Ember will show you and Star around the city. Pyro and Star were shown to their room where they quickly fell asleep. Unknown to all them they were being watched by a friend and a foe.
