Chapter 3: Spyro and the Thunder Dragon
As Rikira started shooting electricity towards Spyro, Spyro avoided each blast, which started to get on the nerves of Rikira.
"Stay still you..." Rikira muttered, sending blasts of electricity to kill Spyro were his original plan, but now he had to change them for Spyro was dodging them too easily. He lowered his horn (yes only one horn) and charged with all his might towards Spyro. This made Spyro think of a plan, since Rikira tends to charge straight and continue running. This causes him to have to look around for his opponent. Making use of that, Spyro got ready when his chance came. Just as Rikira was about to check his surroundings, Spyro took the opportunity to ram the grey dragon with his horns. This worked as Rikira was caught completely off guard. But as all dragons from his family, Rikira doesn't give up that easily. He recovered quickly and let out a lightning blasts but Spyro dodged that as well. The battle dragged on until the sun started to set. That was when both Spyro and Rikira were running out of energy. Rikira was in a worse shape since he had to BOTH charge and blast electricity at Spyro who conserved his energy by just attempting to ram and run off.
Finally, Rikira grew tired and breathless and Spyro came charging at him the moment he came to a stop, and that worked fine. Rikira went flying to wards a tree nearby and the impact caused the fruits of the tree to come crashing down on him. Rikira was to breathless to say anything when he dug his way out of the fruit around him, but he gave Spyro a nasty look which meant "I'll come back, you watch out next time!". With that he ran off to nurse his wounds before Spyro could react.
Spyro snapped back to reality and remembered the errand he was on. He went into the portal and found Hugara next to a campfire.
"What took you? You took nearly half the day to get through the portal!" Hugara asked
After Spyro told Hugara of the mysterious dragon named Rikira, Hugara explained to Spyro," The Thundaro dragon family are well known for their combat skills, especially their famous (or infamous as some would say) lightning attacks. This Rikira was probably sill quite young, so he probably hasn't mastered fully some of his attacks, other than his lightning breath of course. The Thudaro dragons are loyal and well respected, but for one to attack suddenly is truly confusing. You said that he wanted to take revenge for his father who was killed. Perhaps someone mislead him into thinking you were the one who killed his father."
There was a pause as Hugara pondered deep in thought. Finally he broke the silence" The only people I can guess who wants to stop us are your enemies, Spyro, this may be Ripto or the sorceress, both of whom know magic up their every sleeves. Its too late to go look for the herb, darkness has settled in, so lets turn in early and look for the herb tomorrow."
As Spyro settled down to sleep, Hugara took some bottles out from his bag, "But first, lets heal those wounds shall we?" he smiled. Later the Dark forest was echoing with Spyro's screams and Huagara yelling at him to shut up.
As Rikira sat in a cave, he began to ponder over things while tending to his wounds. His journey had begun one night, when he witnessed the death of his father in cold blood. He had been on the trail of the murderer for the past one and a half years, He had finally came to a land he did not know and met a short person, who had told him he knew the details of the murder. He had been inside his castle with two other people whom he cannot remember. He had journeyed to the Artisans World where he had tried to find his two targets. He managed to find them and decided to find a time where he can take them on one at a time. He got his wish and had a fought with Spyro. Darkness covered him as he lay on the cave's floor to rest.
