Chapter 7: The Truth Behind Elora's Past.
The gang walked quietly and steady through the forest in search for a rest stop. Finally, they found the perfect one, with lots of room for everyone to make and sit around a campfire and lay down for the night. Elora and Bianca started to set everyone's sleeping bags, except for Nazza's, since he didn't bring one, so he had to share one with Spyro. And the Guys went out to find firewood for the fire. Once they were all set, Spyro ignited the fire and everyone sat around the warm and relaxed heat, especially Nazza, "Ahhh, now this is much better. I feel my strength coming back to me." Hunter rolled his eyes.
As he was about to say something, his stomach began to grumble, "Oh. It's been a long time since I ate and I haven't noticed how hungry and thirsty I was, especially with all that running." All of the travelers agreed as well, Elora threw a stick inside of the fire. "Very well then, Who will go and hunt for meat?" Both Hunter and Nazza raised their hands. Elora gave a sigh, "When will I ever learn to stop asking who will do what. Nazza and Hunter will only argue." Suddenly her thoughts were interrupted from the arguing of 'who's a better Hunter' coming from none other then the dynamic-dual themselves. "What are you talking about? You can't even Hunt in your sleep!" Nazza said giving a snarl. Hunter gave a look of disgust to Nazza, "What do you mean I can't Hunt?! My name is Hunter!"
"Names doesn't mean everything, Einstein!"
"OKAY!..." Elora said interrupting their argument. "Look here Twiddle-Dumb and Twiddle-Dumber; there is no reason to fight. You can both go and hunt." Nazza and Hunter exchanged glances, "Fine with me. What about you NA-ZZA." Hunter said spitting out his name. "It's okay with me." Elora crossed her arms; "Okay then...What are you waiting for? GO!" At the minute she said go the two ran into the forest. Elora went back to the campfire and sat next to Bianca, "I bet twenty gems that neither one of them with bring back anything." Spyro said to the two girls. Bianca and Elora smiled at him; "You have our vote." They said as a union.
Hunter had his bow and arrow drawn and walked slowly through the calm woods. Instantly he heard a rustling in the bush a few feet away from him. He slowly tiptoed and peeked over the bush and saw his prey, a warthog grazing on the grass. Hunter could have just shot his arrow towards the pig and killed it in an instant, but instead he wanted to be a show off, "It'll be to easy to kill him that way... I'll do it with style." Hunter saw that there was a tree beside the hog and he got the most stupidest idea in the history of stupid ideas. The Cheetah slowly walked around the pig without alerting him and climbed the tree; soon he was above the warthog. "Okay, this will be a piece of cake. I'll just jump on the pig and wrestle him 'til he's tired and then I'll kill him. I'll have the most exciting story in hunting throughout the history of hunting. That'll show that blueberry..." Hunter took his position for pouncing. "Okay, on the count of three...1...2...3!" At the minute he said three, he jumped on the pigs back. However instead of wrestling and pinning him to the ground the warthog began to go haywire and started to charge, run, jump and kick all at the same time with Hunter holding on for dear life, "HOW DO YOU STOP THIS CRAZY THING!?!"
Nazza was creeping slowly through the forest trying not to make the faintest sounds. Then all of a sudden he heard a snort coming from behind a tree a few yards away from him. He slowly crept behind the tree and saw that it was his prey; a helpless warthog eating some berries from a nearby bush (what a coincidence.) Nazza could have just crept up behind the helpless creature without alarming him and slit his throat with his sharp claws and suffocated him. Instead he wanted to be a show off just like Hunter, " It'll be to easy to kill him that way... I'll just do it with style." Nazza looked up in the tree and saw a vine dangling down and got the most ridiculous idea in the history of ridiculous ideas.
The blue wolf slowly pulled the vine, walked a few steps back until is was standing on top of a rock, "Okay this will be a snap. I'll just swing across, jump on the pig, wrestle him to the ground and then I'll kill him. I'll have the most exciting story throughout the history of hunting. That'll show that pussycat..." Nazza gripped on the vine and prepared himself for the ride of his life. "Okay on the count of three...1...2...3!" At the minute he said three; Nazza leaped onto the vine and swung across to the hogs back. However instead of wrestling him and trying to get him on the floor as he had planed, the pig started to go crazy and began to charge, run, jump and kick all at the same time with Nazza holding for dear life, "HEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!"
Hunter was still hanging onto the warthog like Nazza was. Abruptly the pig with Hunter on it started to run towards Nazza, and the pig with Nazza started to run towards Hunter. Since the two pigs saw that they were about to collide with each other, they abruptly stopped sending Nazza and Hunter flying into each other with the warthogs scurrying off. Hunter and Nazza both sat up and gave each other a venomous look, "What did you think you were doing?! I was doing great until you came along!" Nazza said throwing his hands up in the air. Hunter crossed his arms over his chest and raised an eyebrow, "Well it didn't look like it to me from my point of view. It looked as if you were holding on for dear life. I would say you looked like a joke."
"A joke! A JOKE! If you want to see a real joke, pal why don't you look in the mirror!" Nazza said pointing his finger at the Cheetah's chest. Hunter now started to get really mad, "THAT'S IT! From now on we're not talking!"
"Well good! Because I don't want to hear your sorry tone of voice anyway!" the angry wolf hissed. After all that discussion, the dual walked back to camp not talking, looking or even walking close to each other. Once they came back they stopped and were standing there speechless and bewildered. The two saw a dead warthog hanging over the fire with Spyro, Elora and Bianca having a feast. Not only that, they also had jugs made from coconut shells filled with water. Hunter and Nazza walked closer to them still puzzled, "What happened here?" Nazza questioned.
Elora looked up, "Oh, hi you two, Spyro went out into the forest and hunted a warthog for dinner and we found a river with the purest water in all of Avalar to drink. Since we knew you would either get into a fight, give up or not catch anything at all." Elora looked around them and saw that they caught nothing, "And my prediction was correct." Hunter gave a mean look, crossed his arms and faced the opposite direction were Nazza was. "Well if this guy right behind me didn't cross my boundaries I would have caught something!" Nazza gave a sharp look to Hunter and did the same, "Will someone please tell this fellow that I'm not talking to him! And it was all his fault."
"Well can someone please tell him that him that he was the one who knocked me down!" Nazza turned around and stared at him. "Can some one please-"
"OKAY, WE GET THE PICTURE!" Bianca yelled making the two stop. "I was meaning to ask you two a question, now what was it?" Bianca began to think of the question. "Ah! Here we go... What started the arguing in the first place? Before we started this journey you two were the best of friends."
"'Were!' that's past tense!" Nazza said. Bianca rolled her eyes, "Okay forget about the 'were' and lest get on with the program, What started this whole argument?" Hunter looked at Bianca, "It's to horrible for other people to hear."
"You know what, I don't care if its to horrible, heart breaking or embarrassing! I just want to know what happened with the both of you...and if neither of you tell me, I'll just have use my secret weapon." Bianca said giving a sly smile. Hunter and Nazza looked at each other, "Oh yeah what if we refuse to tell." Hunter said. Bianca looked at Spyro and nodded. Spyro walked back to the rabbit's bag and brought out a silver box with the words Don't Open!, Danger!, and Be Careful! written all over it and handed it to her. Bianca had one hand on the bottom and on hand on the top of the lid and slowly walked up to the curious cheetah and wolf. "Now will you tell me or do I have to put my secret weapon into action?" Hunter and Nazza were both nervous with the tone of voice that Bianca had and what kind of thing was inside the box, Hunter and Nazza knew that Bianca could whip up the most hideous, dangerous creature and do other stuff with her magic. And if that was in the box they didn't want to find out. Finally the two broke out and fell on their knees. "Okay, Okay, we'll tell!"
"Good. Who will go first?" Bianca said taking her hand off the lid. "Why don't you go first, Nazza." Hunter insisted. "No you." Nazza said. "No, I insist." Bianca rolled her eyes, "Enough! Somebody has to tell or I'll open the box!" Bianca said putting her hand on the box one more time. "Okay! I'll tell!" Hunter said pleading, "Well, go on." Bianca said. Hunter gave a sigh, "Well, we were in the artisan's world and..." Hunter stopped and stood up, "Actually... I really don't remember what started the fight, do you remember, Nazza?" Nazza thought for a moment and shook his head.
Bianca's, Elora's and Spyro's jaws went flying open, "Hold on stinkin' minute..." Spyro said walking up to them. "What do you mean you don't remember?" Nazza looked at Spyro "I guess we argued so much that we didn't even know what started the fight. I guess we forgot." Bianca gave a smile at the two, "See how a stupid argument can tare apart your friendship. Now you two are friends, right?" The two nodded. "Good." And she walked back to her bag and put the box inside, "Now wait!" Hunter called out. Bianca looked back at him with a confused expression, "What in the world was in the box?" Bianca looked at the box in her hands. "Oh this? Why don't you open it and find out?" she said handing it to Nazza. Hunter walked behind Nazza to see what was inside, but they were still a little worried about opening it. You never know what kind of spell, potion or creature might be inside a box, especially if Bianca hands it to you, "Are you sure it's safe." Nazza said nervously. "I promise, cross my heart." Bianca said.
The two put their hands on the lid, "Okay, on the count of three...1...2...3!" At the minute he said three they both lifted up the lid and out came flying rubber snakes, startling and making Hunter and Nazza fall down on the ground. Bianca, Spyro and Elora also fell to the ground laughing their hearts out. "Oh! You to should have seen your faces when those things popped out!" Spyro said whipping a tear off his face. Elora sat up, "Yeah, you two were so worried about what was inside the box." Hunter and Nazza both glared at the laughing dragon, faun, and rabbit then to each other, "Well, I wasn't that scared, maybe Nazza over here, but not me." Hunter said crossing his arms. Nazza gave a look to Hunter; "Well you know what-!" Nazza and Hunter both looked at their friends and saw them giving a 'don't start arguing' look.
The canine and the feline dropped their heads, "Okay, from now on, no more arguing, agreed?" Hunter said putting out his hand towards Nazza so he can shake it. Nazza looked at his hand then at Hunter, "Agreed." And shook his hand. "Finally!" A voice came from behind them. The two looked back and saw Elora kneeling down with her hands up in the air, "Finally! The war is over!" Hunter and Nazza walked over by the fire and for the first time from the moment the journey started 'til now they were sitting together and not arguing. Hunter and Nazza got a piece of the cooked meat that Spyro brought and took a bite, "Wow, this is good. Speaking about the blue rune-."
"Who's speaking about the blue rune?" Hunter interrupted Nazza. "No one, but now that you mentioned it, a question has been on my for a long time and I was wondering... how did Elora defeated the Phoenix if Spyro didn't give her permission yet? Didn't the Professor say that the owner has to give permission first before the rune can judge if the person who's holding it will abuse or use the rune for evil?" Everyone started to agree with Nazza; how could Elora defeat the bird without Spyro's permission to use the blue stone. "I guess it was something I said when all of us were still inside the underwater cave..." Spyro began to think harder to remember what he said to give Elora permission. Then instantly he remembered, "I remember now! It was right after the Professor told us about the power within the stone. After that, I said 'If the rune is going to be used by someone else it's going to be my friends.'"
"I didn't hear you say that." Bianca said. "I know, that's because I said it to myself, not out loud. I guess it even works if you even think it." Once everybody was situated, a conversation started with Bianca, Elora, Nazza, and Hunter; Spyro just kept gazing at Elora without her knowing and kept observing her. He noticed that every time no one was looking at her she kept looking at a piece of paper inside her bag, secretly. " I wonder why Elora has been so secretly lately. It's like... she's isolated from all of us. I wonder what she's looking at anyway." Before Spyro can ask her everyone heard a rustling in the bushes behind them making them all jump, "W-What was that?" Elora said hiding what ever it was in her hand inside her bag. "It's probably just a warthog." Bianca said looking around. The noise kept getting louder and the entire group knew that whatever it was, wasn't a warthog and was getting closer. Everyone came closer together towards the middle of the camp, "If this is the end, I'm sorry I called you a pussy-cat." Nazza said huddling closer to Hunter. "And I'm sorry I called you a half paint with drains for brains and mentally challenged and a retard and-."
"Okay! All right! I get it!" Nazza stopped and thought for a moment, "Wait, you never called me those names." Nazza said. Hunter smiled a cheesy grin, "I know, but I was thinking it." Elora already had enough of this, "Okay, can you to just be quiet? You were better off when the both of you were arguing." Everyone got quiet and it looked as if the sound was all around them, "Whoever is out there, we're not afraid of you!" Nazza called out. "What if it's Ripto?" Hunter whispered. "Well, then we panic." Hunter gave a look to Nazza. Spyro and Elora walked out of the group huddle and had their runes out stretched just incase someone tried to attack them. Without warning an old, crippled female red dragon in her late 70's with a blue cape and shriveled up wings, slowly limped out of the shrubs with only a broken tree branch that she was holding supported her weight.
The group slowly let out a sigh and gave a low giggle at the silly startle. The old dragon came closer to the group; " Oh travelers!" she said in a low trembling voice, "Do any of you young people have any food to spear for an old dragon?" Everyone looked back at their plate and saw that everyone ate everything and all that was left was the pigs skeleton. Nazza scanned the plates and saw that there was a small piece of meat on his plate not even fit for a mouse. Nazza walked back to his plate, picked it up and brought it to the old women. "Here you go, it's not much, but I hope it'll help." The dragon gave a small smile and took it from his hands, "Thank you young wolf. This kindness will reward you greatly in the future." And with that she disappeared into the forest with the plate in her hands. Nazza was confused at the statement, but when he ran after her to see if she needed some help he saw that she had vanished into thin air.
Nazza turned around and was very perplexed about the situation. "Okay I had enough weird things happen to me in one day, let's get some shut-eye." Spyro said turning around towards his sleeping bag. Everyone went back to their bags and went straight to sleep, except for Elora; she kept looking at the stars and thinking about her past, "To bad for Mell. She had to whind up in Ripto's quarters... Did I do the right thing? Well, it serves her right to be with a low life, especially if she's one. If I wasn't so nice she would have been dead by now... but she did let me go and didn't capture me. I don't know... I'll just think about it more tomorrow." And she went to sleep.
The next day everyone gathered up their stuff and headed out in search of the green rune with the map that The Professor gave guiding them. Spyro was reading everyone the direction, but Elora wasn't really paying any attention. She was in her own world thinking of her past, again. "Okay we passed around the geyser, a small hill and now we have to go through a village called..." Spyro looked closer at the pronunciation of the next word, " the Ca...Cam...Camabila Tribe."Once he said 'Camabila' Elora's thoughts went away and turned her attention to Spyro with a really nervous attitude, "D-Did you say Camabila? A Tribe called Camabila?" Elora said a little worried.
Spyro looked down at the map to see if he was correct, "Yes. Why? Is something the matter?" Elora started to look around her still a little jumpy, "How far is it from here?" Spyro was now beginning to worry, "What's the matter? Why all the questions? You're worse than Bianca." Spyro said joking. Bianca gave a look at Spyro, "Hey! At least I had my suspicions." Spyro smiled. "I know, I know I already said-"
"I mean it guys! How far are we from Camabila?" Elora said interrupting Spyro. Spyro was now more worried than ever about Elora's jumpiness, " Okay Elora, tell us what's going on."
"What do you mean?" She said innocently taking a step back from her friends. "You know what I'm talking about, The picture inside your bag, isolating yourself from the rest of us, what's going on?" All of the heads turned to Elora's direction. The faun felt small and just wanted to bury herself under a rock; will she tell her secret? Will she tell who she really was? Will she tell them about her past? Elora took a deep breath, "Well, there's no reason hiding from them now." Elora thought. "You see," Elora started, "In my past-" but before she can finish Hunter stopped her from pressing on, "Hey! Listen..." Hunter said putting his hand on his ear. Everyone did the same, but didn't hear anything. "I don't hear anything, Hunter." Nazza said still straining to listen. "That's right! Don't you see that it's quiet...too quiet. Especially since we're inside of a forest. Spyro scanned their perimeter; everything grew strangely quiet, not like a Forest should act with all the animals rumbling in the bushes and the bird's chirp echoing through the woods. The only sounds heard were from their own breathing.
The gang didn't like this at all, especially from the shark attack, which almost ended Hunters life, "Something is about to happen, I can feel it." Spyro thought.Suddenly, a spear jotted from a tree above landing inches away from Nazza's paws. Then unexpectedly a group of fauns with black and some with Brown fur jumped out from the trees with razor sharp spears making everyone huddle into a circle just like last night. Spyro tried to fight back by charging and flaming. He found his target and began to charge lowering his sharp horns, as he was about to do so he felt someone garbing him by the tail. He looked back and saw to his surprise that it was Elora holding him back, "ELORA, WHAT I THE WORLD DO YOU THINK YOU'RE-" but before he had a chance to say anything else the dragon felt a blow on his neck then all went black. The last things he saw were the fauns tying everyone to long stakes including him.
Once Spyro awoke he felt a massive pain on the back of his head. As he tried to reach for his head he saw that he was all tied up. Spyro looked around and saw that they were in a village with huts surrounding them everywhere, "Where are we?" He thought. Spyro looked at his right and saw Hunter and Bianca he looked at his left and saw Nazza and Elora and they were all tied to stakes. Elora had her head down, Spyro thought she was still unconscious and started to call her name, "Elora... Elora! Are you awake?" The faun lifted her head up and looked at Spyro with a sad expression in her face. "I'm sorry I had to hold you back Spyro." The dragon recalled the moment before he blacked out, "Why did you hold me back? If you didn't held me we wouldn't have been in this mess!" Spyro said annoyed. Elora gave a sigh, "I know Spyro, but it was for good cause. You won't understand."
"Try Me." he said. All of a sudden Spyro heard a noise toward his right, "How did we end up here?" Spyro turned his head and saw Hunter and Bianca wide awake. "We're in a village, probably filled with cannibals, thanks to-" He turned his head back to Elora and saw that she was gone, the stake and her. Instantly, he saw a male faun carrying her towards a hut. "What are they gonna do with her?" A little while later he saw a guy carrying a sword towards the same hut that Elora was in and he saw the faun sharpening the sword just outside of the entrance to the Hut, and he started to fear the worse. "I got to get out of here!" he yelled. Spyro tried with all his might to escape, but he couldn't. Instantly, he got an idea and he leaned his head 'til he can see Bianca across from Hunter, "Bianca do you have a potion that can get a guy out of a mess like the one we're in?" Bianca thought, "Yes I do, but I don't know where my bag is?" she said looking around. "They probably took it while we were unconscious."
"I have to get out of here and save Elora! One of the Camabites took Elora and a sword to that hut over there..." Spyro said pointing to the nearby hut with his foot. "And I have to go save her. And I don't want to think what they're going to do with that sword." Spyro said scrumming a little. Finally he got his hands out from the not and he started to work on the rope that tied his whole body around the stake. Finally he got himself free and began to run towards the hut. A few Camabilians saw the prisoner escaping and began to run towards him, but Spyro dodged through all of them. Once he got in the small house his eyes couldn't believe what he saw, Elora was alive! Not only that she was sitting on a throne with a crown of flowers over her head, with the inhabitants bowing and giving fruits for her to eat.
All at once Elora saw him and a grin came across her face. As Spyro was about to walk inside two Faun worriers caught him by the arm and began to drag him back to the stake; Spyro was so confused, baffled and speechless that he didn't know what was happening. Elora jumped from her throne and ran up to them and stopped the two fauns in a language that Spyro never heard of. Suddenly, the Faun's let go of his arms, walked away and Elora helped Spyro to his feet. "Sorry this had happened. I can explain everything." Spyro looked at her, "You better explain everything 'Cuz I'm all ears." He said.
Once Elora got the whole gang off the stakes she led them to another Hut. Once inside Elora sat on the bed while her friends sat on the floor. "Okay, Elora we're listening." Bianca said. "Yeah, what's with the princess stuff?" Nazza said. "Or that language that you spook, how did you know their language?" Spyro added. Elora took a deep breath, "The reason I knew their language and the reason why I was pronounced princess was because... my father; Rickasha, was the prince of all of the Camabila tribe." Everyone gasped. Hunter was shocked, "So your really a-a-"
"A Princess." Elora said kind of sad finishing of his sentence. "I'll tell you the whole story."
(FLASHBACK)
My mom; Aurora, was an archeologist and she was walking down through the same forest that we walked through, The Forbidden Forest. She was doing research on old plant fossils found in the forest, until four Camabilan worriers took her and tied her to stakes like you all were and was brought to the village. The people don't like strangers to close to their territory. As they were taking mom for questioning my dad, Rickasha (but most people prefer to call him Rick for short) the prince came out of his Hut, when he came out he was struck by cupid's arrow by my mom's beauty. He saw that she was scared, was trying to get free. My dad quickly walked up to the worriers and told them to untie her, so following his command they did as they were told.
Once my Mom was settled she also fell in love with the Camabite prince. She had to leave the next day, but she didn't want to leave her true love behind, so she had to make the most difficult decision in her life; live here with the tribe or go back where she came from. Finally, she made her decision and lived with the tribe. My Mom, Aurora, began to know him better after that they began to date, and soon they both got married with my mom being Queen of Camabila and my dad finally being King. My mom learned their language and my dad learned English. A few a years passed since they got married and my mom found out that she was pregnant. She knew that a tribe in the middle of the forest was no place to raise a child, so she talked with my dad and told him that they need to go back to where she came from if they want to have the child.
My dad wanted to have the baby, but he still didn't want to leave his hometown and he still wanted the best for the baby, so finally he said 'yes'. A week after the decision was made he told the whole village and gave them a new king; his brother and my uncle; Tucakum. After that they both traveled to my mom's home world-"
(FLASHBACK INTERRUPTED)
"Avalar!" Hunter interrupted. Elora looked up at Hunter, "No. It's a place you never heard of and it probably doesn't even exists anymore, the place is called, Byoura." Elora once again started the story.
(FLASHBACK CONTINUED)
"Anyway, once they got settled in a house my dad looked all over the environment for a job so he could support his wife and the baby. Suddenly my dad saw that there was a job ad in the paper and he took it not know what kind of trouble he'd get himself in. A few months passed and my mom finally had me, but for some reason my dad left in a hurry out of the hospital. She didn't know that the job that he got was in a burglary ring. So one day when I was three years old, she was doing some spring cleaning around the house and I was playing in the back yard.
While she was cleaning his closet she found a bag full of gems in it. My mom started to panic, once my dad came back from work she showed him the bag and started to ask questions, my mom didn't notice but I was just outside the door listening to their conversation. I heard some stuff, but most of it I didn't understand. Finally, my dad broke out and told her the truth of what he was doing, but he admitted that the gems that were in his room weren't his, but of his partner's and he was just holding it for him. My mom didn't know who to trust since she was shocked and heart broken. That night my dad came into my room, I still remember it 'til this day. He came up to me and kissed me and said ' I love you, Lory' and walked out. My mom saw him walk out, put me in her neighbors house and began to follow him on foot. She saw him brake into a house and began to steel valuables. A tear began to form in her eyes, but then she saw him drop the bag on the floor and began to talk to himself, 'What am I doing?' he began, 'I love Aurora and my little Lory I don't want her to remember me like this. I'm going to stop this once and for all!' And he quietly stepped out of the house putting all the valuables back where he found them and walking to a run-down building with my mom still following him.
My mom peeked through the window; she could see my dad and what looks to be the head of the burglary gang, but she didn't see his face because he was in the shadow of the building. She saw my dad talking to the person saying that he didn't want to do this anymore. My mom's heart filled with joy hearing these words, but all of that shattered. She saw that the person in the shadow was getting madder and madder by the minute..." Elora took a deep breath, closed her eyes making a tear fall. " And without warning a fireball shot from were the stranger was standing toward my dad, killing him that instant. My mom began to run towards our house crying out. Once she got me from the neighbor's house, thanked them and came back to our house.
Once we came in she sat down and began to cry some more. I crawled up to her lap and began to ask her questions, 'mommy where's daddy?' I asked. My mom looked at me whipping a tear from her red swollen eyes and gave me a hug, 'He's on a big long business trip and he won't come back for a long time.' That was the only thing she said. Two weeks after the incident happened we moved out of the country into Avalar since the place was filled with to many memories. We moved into a small house in summer forest and that's where we lived since. A few years passed and I was turning eight in just a few weeks when I was cleaning the den I found a picture of my dad my mom and me in Byoura..." Elora pulled out a picture that she had and showed everyone.
The group saw that the male faun on the picture resembled somewhat of Elora with darker fur, green sharp eyes and darker skin color. "Questions started to flood in my head of where my dad was, so I began to ask my mom questions, finally she broke out and told me the entire story. The same story that I told you guys." Elora closed her eyes. "Now you know the secret of my past, the reason why I know the language of the Camabilans and why I was pronounced princess. Just once I would like to see my dad, I never really had a chance too."
(FLASHBACK END)
Elora opened her eyes and saw Hunter and Nazza both crying on each other's shoulders from the story and Spyro and Bianca both with eyes widen and jaws dropped, "Now I get it!" Spyro called out breaking the silence. "The reason you held me back was because you didn't want me to hurt your people." Elora nodded. "But why didn't you tell us in the first place?" Spyro asked, Elora gave a frown. "Because since you know now that I have royal blood you might treat me different." Spyro gave a confused expression, "You know we'd never do that." Elora gave a smile. "Really?"
"Really. But one thing still bothers me, Why did you isolate your self from the rest of us?" Elora's smile went away. "Oh, that...well...you see, when I was taken captive by Ripto after the mime explosion I heard him say something about my father." Everyone gasped, "What kind of things?" Bianca asked. "Well he said 'your very helpful, just like your father.'" Elora shook all over remembering the statement. "And that got me thinking; did Ripto really knew my father, What did he do, or was he the one who murdered him?" Spyro widen his eyes, "So if this rumor is true and Ripto really did kill you dad along with what the story said then that means..."Spyro stopped and looked at Elora, "Then that means your dad was working for Ripto!" Elora's head went down in shame and Spyro took a step back, "That's why I so scared if that's the truth." Elora said
