(Dante's freezer)
"ACHOO!!"
The icy cold was not treating the black furred wolf well, Ruka's fur doing little to shield him from the fierce winds as he maintained a steady pace behind the large red and black dragoness, rubbing his fur clean of the now fresh and cold snot that covered his nose. "Do you even know where your going? We've been walking for so long my paws are gonna fall off!" He griped with a slight snarl, to which Itami replied with a snort before she responded verbally. "Keep complaining and I'll burn you alive, maybe you'll be warm then. But if your quite done, were actually here." She said causing the wolf to quirk a brow as he now comprehended the large stone cliff face in their path. Before he could question the dragoness however, a rumbling sound could be heard, before the stone wall seemed to shift and slide open like a door for them to pass. Stepping inside after the dragoness who wasted no time entering, he quickly found himself within a lengthy tunnel littered with glowing mana Crystal's, Suddenly the small wolf was faced with a purple eyed glare from the larger creature. "Wait here, I will be back shortly." She ordered, her tone speaking like that of a master to their pet, causing the former pack leader to growl under his breath.
Stalking deeper into the dark depths of the cave, Itami quickly vanished from the wolf's sight, before going down several different cave passages, soon finding herself in a large cavern that was shrouded in complete darkness. Lifting her tail to her face, she clamped her teeth down on the rows of spines before sliding the sharp plates across her fangs and out of her mouth, her tail seeming to spark and erupt in dim purple hued flames. As she continued on her path through the darkness for a few minutes, seemingly knowing exactly where she was going even when she could only see darkness outside her small sphere of vision. Stopping abruptly and casting her purple eyed sight downward to her paws, she was met with the sight of a faint asortment of indents carved into the ground. A large grin began to form on her maw as she brought her tail about to hover above the strange marks. "Alok Dii Zeymah Ahrk Briinah Ahrk Fin Lein Fent Koraav Fin Suleyk Do Fin Zos" The dragoness spoke in a gravelly sounding voice, the word's flowing from her maw like water on a ducks down, but sounding rougher than sandpaper on dragon scales.
For a moment all was still and quiet save for the sound of the raging winds outside the cave walls but in an instant the purple flames seated upon Itami's tailbalde leaped onto the ground and as if made from fluid began to spread through the cracks on the floor reaching all the way to the immensely wide cave wall's, briefly bathing the cavern in violet light as the many indecipherable markings along the wall's glowed reaching all the way to the cavern entrance where a stealthy pair of eye's watched on in curiosity and slight confusion, before it subsided almost as quickly as it appeared. The silence returning for a moment before it was ruined by an immeasurably loud boom as several different colored light's appeared in the darkness. Upon closer inspection however the light's were revealed to be in the vague shape of seven pair's of eye's, each a different hue.
A voice echoed out amongst the darkness, distant and echoing but strong and prideful, it was emanating from a solid glowing purple pair of eye's that had no indication as to what or who they belonged to and no mouth like the other's, just two empty violet voids narrowed in some unknown emotion. "Itami? Your...free?" It asked, the warble in the back of it's disembodied voice sounded as if there were many creatures speaking the same word's all at once. With a sultry smirk the red dragoness sat in the center of the cavern, eye's gazing at her from all directions. "As a birdKenkyo, when the rift closed I was the only one to slip through, though only my spirit made it. I had to find a host several time's, these mortals die so easily. I must say that this latest one is perfect in many ways, it won't age, it doesn't really need to eat or drink, and it has been contaminated by excess levels of aether, which are the reason I was able to possess this body in the first place on account of it being a corpse." She finished the sentence with a smirk seemingly pleased with that final fact. "QUIT BRAGGING AND FOCUS ON GETTING US OUT OF HERE YOU HORNY BRAT!!!" another male voice shouted, this one not having the same strange warble to it but had a somewhat echoing and scratchy sounding voice, as if it's owner had a terrible cough, coming from a pair of crimson red eye's that were narrowed in obvious annoyance.
"Come now brother, if not for her assistance right now our soul's would still be lost to limbo. We owe her that much gratitude." A distinctly feminine voice responded, it's tone quiet and calm, the owner being a pair of light mint green eye's which appeared to convey a sense of boredom at the thought of being confined to a formless existence. The next voice to speak was a pair of dark mossy green eye's which were tilted upwards to convey discomfort. "Hrmm, Itami? When can you get us out of here? There's nothing to eat here, and I'm starving." The voice griped childishly to which the red dragoness replied with a frown. "That depends on how long it takes me to get the whelp who used to be the dark master alone, once that happens I will show that child the true meaning of pain and loss, with his power I will open the path for you all so that we may accomplish the second part of our mission and become the new God's of this world."
The pair of cyan blue eye's was next to make it's ethereal voice known, a distinctly feminine voice at that, speaking in an analytical tone. "That depends on if our plan works and if we even get out of here, but if we can pull it off..." The tone of voice changed to that of what sounded like a gleeful teen. "We'll live like kings for eternity!! Nothing will be out of our reach!!"
Itami smirked before she turned her purple gaze toward the other pair of violet eye's in the cavern. "I only came here to awaken you all in preparation for the next phase, now I must return to Warfang. Once there I will retrieve the failed vessel, and with his aether, you will soon know freedom." "Let it be done then..." It spoke in it's many voices before it took on a foreboding tone. "Do not fail." It ordered.
As the dragoness departed a male and monotonous voice spoke up as a glowing set of bright yellows seemed to float up next to the purple glow. "Did she have to wake us up so soon, I had the most pleasant dream..." It began to moan before the many voices responded with a rumbling growl of irritation. "Be silent my indolent brother, I wish to think in peace."
(Warfang)
As the legendary trio departed after wishing farewell to their friend's, Ventus and Flame returning to their home's while Crystal returned to the arena to complete her remaining duties for the day, Spyro turned to his fellow purple dragon, a few questions plauging his mind. "Hey Mal?" He said as he pulled to the experienced dragon's left side as Cynder mimicked the position on Malefor's right. The purple dragon quirked a brow in response to his nickname being used. "Mal...?" He inquired. "Oh sorry It's just a nickname I guess. If you don't like it I can stop..." Spyro nervously muttered before he was cut off by a slight chuckle coming from the former dark lord. "No no, it's quite alright. It's just..." He began to look back to the horizon past the city, past the valley and beyond the mountain's, his eye's wistful. "...that's the name Terrador calls me, him and...Anise both called me that, It's fine if you want to as well. I don't mind." The older purple dragon spoke with a small smile to the friend he had found in his former adversary.
"You said you had questions?" He reminded the young hero, causing Spyro to nod in response. "Yeah, two actaully. First one, that was Convexity you used back there wasn't it? In the arena?" He asked to which Malefor nodded his own facial features displaying his lingering concern toward the use of the dangerous power they had been born with. "Yes it was, and I know what your thinking. It was risky to use it, but the strange thing is to me Convexity always felt so...so-" "Alien?" Spyro finished for him, receiving a nod in response. "Yes, it used to feel foreign and cold. As if it was not meant to be in my body...In my soul. It felt vile. But this was different, this use of it was not only something I never knew it was capable of but it didn't feel...wrong. It felt warm and...and for the first time ever it brought me a feeling other than sorrow. I don't know what was different this time, but it seem's I can now use Convexity without the threat of corruption." He explained as best he could what it felt like to use the signature power of the purple dragon once again.
As they soon found themselves walking down the legnthy hall of the dragon temple toward Malefor's room, Spyro decided to ask his second question. "Okay, so question number two. That awesome electric tornado? Can you please teach me how to do that one of these day's?" The young hero asked, his purple eye's sparkling with interest. Malefor let out a chuckle and responded with a smile. "Of course, we just need to unlock your wind element first." Before a frown found it's way to his muzzle. "that is if we could ever get the time to do anything without someone making things more complicated..." he muutered sarcastically. As they approached his room his eye's suddenly narrowed before becoming wide with surprise as well as confusion. His bedroom door was cracked open, and last he left it, it was shut and locked. Stopping in his tracks before the door, he cast a quick glance at the equally tense expressions of his companions, before raising a talon to gently push the door open.
As the light of the torch lit hall filtered into the darkened room, the trio were greeted by the shocking sight of the former dark master's utterly trashed residence. Blankets and pillows had either been shredded or were outright missing, a cabinet was tipped onto it's face, it's contents strewn about the floor while there were several drawers ripped from his desk table cast aside on the ground. What caught the purple dragon's eye most as he entered the tarnished room, was the cracked picture frame upon the floor. Though Malefor did not remember having this photo, he knew the time it was taken from, for it showed himself along side his two oldest friend's from the day's when their lives had been so much simpler. Gently picking up the damaged frame, Malefor slipped the photo from it's remains, his claws gingerly carresing the wrinkled surface. "What...How...did this Happen?" Cynder asked, appalled by the wreckage, stepping up next to the saddened purple dragon, being careful where she walked so as not to crush anything under her talons.
"I left the door locked...someone must have broken in." Malefor muttered in response, before something in the picture caught his eye. As he gazed at the photo, his eye's were drawn to the friendly face of the fire dragoness within as another memory began to surface within his mind, having previously been drowned out by the shadows of the past. A memory of the last day's he had spent being a normal dragon, before he heard the prophecy.
Malefor was spending the night up in one of the unused watch tower's near the inner area of the city, having made somewhat of a hideout for himself for when he wished to get away. Complete with several set's of pillows and blankets for makeshift bedding should him or his friends spend the night up there, a few book's and he had even been able to acquire a telescope so he could enjoy the star's from his vantage point high above all the other buildings in the city. As he gazed up at the star's and admired the night sky from the edge of the circular balcony, he was briefly startled by the sound of footsteps hitting the stone floor behind him. Turning to face his unannounced guest, he was met with the familiar and friendly face of Anise, the fire dragoness beaming at the sight of the purple dragon. "Hey Mal!" She exclaimed with a smile, stepping over to the quiet male.
"I thought I might find you up here, when you weren't in your room or with Terra, I got a little worried." She said as she seated herself down beside Malefor, the purple dragon chuckling slightly at the comment as he turned to look back toward the sky. "Worried, what for? I'm fi-" he was cut off almost immediately by the fire dragoness. "Please don't lie to me and say your fine, Mal. Because your clearly not." Anise's smile had disapeared in an instant, being replaced by a frown. "You only ever come up here when your trying to get away from someone." Her tone became sensitive and quiet. "Was it that jerk from fire lesson's again, has he been talking?" The purple dragon's hasty facade quickly cracked before her eye's. "W-what... N-no no, it's not th-" he attempted to dissuade the fire dragoness but as his own stuttering gave him away he realized it was pointless and simply came clean, letting out a sigh he cast a sideways glance at his close friend. "Am I really that predictable?" He muttered his voice ringing with hollowed out emotions.
"I just know you that well Mal, also I found it weird that you were trying so hard to keep your right paw hidden. Now come on show me the damage." She said waving her own talon in a circular motion, silently urging the purple dragon to hurry up. Hesitantly lifting his claw to the impatient dragoness, he was met with a brief gasp of shock and a sudden hold on his right arm tugging him closer to the red scaled female. "MALEFOR, WHAT HAPPENED?! Your paw is all swollen and bruised, IS THAT DRIED BLOOD!?" The dragoness began to ask him several questions such as "are you okay?" And making statements along the lines of "tell me who did this I'll turn him into a roast turkey!" The purple dragon's right paw was normally a very vibrant purple, however now the scales seemed to be shaded a darker hue, seemingly covered in what appeared to be dry blood seeping from below the scales. "It's not as bad as it looks, Xyras just squeezed my paw a bit too hard in practice today, it's nothi-" one glare from the visibly distraught dragoness was all that it took to shut him up. Upon seeing that his wrist wasn't broken or anything, just scratched and bruised, Anise sighed and let go of the violet hued talon. It seemed as if neither of the young teen's spoke for minute's, hour's perhaphs.
That changed when Anise whispered in a confused tone, her eye's threatening to water at the thought and sight of her dear friend being wounded. "Mal... Why don't you just tell the guardian's about this? He shouldn't be allowed to do this to you because of your scales. Your different Mal, special. That's not a bad thing but some people will disagree because they either don't understand or they are just jealous of what you do have." The purple dragon didn't respond right away, seemingly trying to grasp an answer in his head as his facial features visibly twisted in thought. "I... I just don't want to cause trouble, if I tell the guardian's then... It's my word against a future guardian candidates. There would be no contest." The fire dragoness visibly frowned at this response before she began to think of a retort, iddly pawing at the black colored metal bracers adorning her front wrists.
"Mal your voice and thoughts matter, You matter. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, you aren't alone you know? You have Terrador, who looks at you like a brother, he always want's to be here and with you but can't always make time because of his training. And... You have me Mal, I care about you because your..." She hesitated to speak for but a millisecond. "...my friend. I don't want you to think you can't count on us." Thinking on her word's briefly she had an idea, before her talons took the purple dragon's uninjured left wrist in her paws, startling Malefor in the process who almost pulled his claw away but ultimately decided against it. "I have... A gift for you Mal. It's something that my dad gave me, now I want to give it to you." She said before placing one of her now undone bracers in the purple dragon's open paw. "Anise, I can't possibly take this, it's a family heirloom. They used to belong to-" his word's were swiftly silenced by the red dragoness shoving the piece of metal closer in his talon and pushing that same claw closer to his chest.
"My mom... Yeah I know, but it's fine." Lifting up her right paw she wiggled it in front of her friend's face to showcase the matching bracer still adorning her wrist. "I'll still have one of them!" She said a large grin on her face before that grin became a small soothing smile. "And look at it this way Mal, whenever you feel like things aren't going your way, when me or Terra can't be there to help pick you up when you fall. I want you to look at this on your wrist and know that wherever you are, whatever is causing you trouble or pain, I will always be cheering you on, and reaching out to help you. So long as you wear it, we'll always be connected and I'll be right by your side."
The purple dragon sat there remembering that night, as he gazed down at the photo in his grasp, dual colored eye's locked on the image of the bracers adoring his and Anise's wrists. Squinting in thought, his eye's widened suddenly before he rushed over to the desk in his room, a few drawers having not been pulled from their hinges. He practically threw open one of them, praying in his mind that whoever had ransacked his room hadn't found what was inside. The drawer had been yanked fully out of it's space by his strength, the quick motions startling the two dragon's standing in the doorway. Malefor was completely silent as he stared down at the empty wooden compartment in his talons, as Spyro took a tentative step forward, his voice filled with concern for the older purple dragon. "Mal? What's wrong? What was in there?" As the purple dragon's claws trembled against the wood, the trio was alerted to a new presence among them in the hall, revealed by the sound of approaching footsteps.
Turning to face the newcomer they were greeted by a concerned ice dragoness staring back at them, it was Crystal and she had a small pouch dangling from a strap around her shoulder. "What happened here?" she asked looking to the black dragoness for answers. "Someone trashed his room, while we were out, Mal hasn't told us what it was but something was taken..." Stepping closer to the purple dragon who had been silently gripping the empty drawer, Crystal gently pat the drake on the back in an attempt to get his attention, in response Malefor seemed to visibly flinch at the contact. However there was something that none of the dragon's in the room could see due to the dark scaled dragon facing away from them, for a moment his purple eye had begun to flicker and change color, the purple hue having been replaced for an eerie yellow, untill the white claw of the ice dragoness caused him to jolt as his eye returned to normal.
Turning his gaze to face Crystal, the purple dragon quirked a brow. Removing the pouch from her neck she offered it to him, holding the bag by the leather strap. "You left this at the arena, I figured you'd want it back..." Turning her blue eye's to the empty drawer she askwd him a question. "What was in there?" She asked hesitantly, not wishing to upset the powerful and sensitive male. Glancing back at the empty piece of wood in his claws he snorted, before within a single moment his palms began to glow bright red before the wood began to smoke as it burst into flames, the purple dragon dropping it to the floor where it was quickly reduced to ash. "It WAS a gift from someone in my past...someone who isn't here anymore..." He spoke softly, the quiet tone doing nothing to mask the fury bubbling beneath his scales. Turning away from the now snuffed fire, he faced the other dragon's in the room, extending a paw to accept the offered bag before placing around his own neck. "And I am going to find whoever took it, and I am taking back what's mine."
Spyro was the one to respond. "We'll do whatever we can to help find whatever was taken, just tell us what to look for." Crystal made her vocie heard as well. "I can help too, I'm done with work for today and I don't have a shift tomorrow." Malefor nodded in response to the ice dragoness before turning to the other two dragon's in the room. "Crystal and I can Look around, in the meantime if it's not too much trouble, could you guy's tell Terrador about this? After this little issue, I might have to look into moving into a different room in the temple, at the very least so I don't get robbed again." Cynder nodded her head in agreement as she turned to head down the hall in search of the earth guardian. "Me and Spyro will handle it." She aasured the purple dragon. "And if you see someone wearing a platinum bracer, black and with a small red crystal embedded in it, that's what was taken." He shouted after the duo as they departed.
As Malefor turned to walk out the doorway himself with an ice dragoness following close at his side, Crystal spoke to him. "So do you have amy idea where to search first?" She asked, causing the purple dragon to frown and stop in his tracks. "Well...I kinda didn't think that far ahead..." He muttered causing her to sigh in exasperation before she began to think, placing a talon to her chin in deep thought. "Well, you said it was made of platinum, so if they were going to sell it, they would likely be heading for the market. We can try there?" She suggested to which Malefor gave a brief nod before they set off toward the front temple entrance, taking flight once they had exited the building.
Upon arriving in the crowded area, the amount of stares that the purple dragon could feel burning through him intensified but he did his best to ignore the sensation of being watched and judged as while they would all cast their glares his way, none would dare attack him. Paying the many onlookers no attention the duo began searching each stall they walked past, until eventually everyone seemed to return to what they were there for and payed the former dark master no immediate attention. Passing by several small jewelry filled counters, Crystal noticing the rather tense frown on the purple male's face, decided to try and ease the tension with some conversation. "Sooo..." She began, hoping her drawn out beginning would catch the warrior's attention. When she saw him glance at her and quirk a brow in response she continued. "...what makes this brace so special, if you don't mind me asking, did it belong to a friend of yours, sibling...parent?" She curiously questioned.
At this the purple dragon's expression became an odd mixture of emotions, his eye's spoke of much sorrow and yet his maw was twisted in a small smile. "It's from an old friend of mine, I didn't have many people I was close to at the time and I never knew who my parent's were, nor any siblings to speak of." He went silent for a moment seemingly in thought before he continued. "Do you want to hear about her?" He asked the ice dragoness hesitantly, pleasantly suprised when she gave a firm nod in response. "Hear about one of the great dark master's friend's? Absolutely." She joked with a chuckle and a teasing smile. For a moment Malefor was suprised by the use of his former title before he allowed a small smile to cross his maw. As he began to speak of the unrelenting kindness the fire dragoness would show everyone she met, of how she had been his first true friend when all others shunned and ignored him. She was the first to hold her paw out to him in friendship, she had been the one to pull him from his emotional shell.
On the other side of the market there was a large yellow dragon carrying a satchel full of fresh and newly purchased fruits and an assortment of rolled up parchments. Midas was on his way home now that he had found his fruits which served as an occasional snack for him when he didn't have time to eat a large slab of meat. As he walked he thought about the event's of earlier that day, when he lost his first fight in quite some time. "Guess I was wrong to underestimate him, my mistake I guess, he is the dark master and a purple dragon after all, tricky bastards... But, not a bad fighter, next time I'll be the one to win though." He thought to himself. A small grin wormed it's way across his muzzle at the thought of facing the purple scaled male in combat again. As he contiued his leisurely pace toward his abode, he heard a conversation from two dragon's off to the side. "Dude I'm telling you this was not a good idea!!" One earth dragon whispered angrily at his companion, an ice dragon holding something in his claws out of reach of the green and brown male. "So what? It's not like the purple prick can find us, how's he gonna know it was me who took it??" The ice dragon retorted before his friend responded with a sigh of exasperation. "Look man, if you get into trouble your on your own, remember who told you it was a stupid idea to mess with a purple dragon..." However as soon as the words left his maw he quickly backed up by a few steps with an expression of what seemed to be suprise. Now noticing the sensation of a larger creature breathing down his neck and a larger shadow covering his own form, the white scaled male slowly craned his head to look behind him only to be met with an overly large grin from Midas and an aggressive arm bring wrapped around his shoulder. "Hey there little buddy! I couldn't help but overhear you got your claws on something from a purple dragon, is that right?" The electric champion asked with a strangely friendly tone, "How about you and me have a little chat?" He asked the smaller ice wielder, the broad smile bringing nothing but unease to the younger dragon's.
Meanwhile back with Malefor and Crystal, the duo had found little to no luck tracking down the purple dragon's possesion. Begrudgingly the two of them made their way back to the temple empty handed. Crystal cast a quick glance at the crestfallen male, before she placed a gentle claw on his shoulder. Malefor having been lost in thought, jolted at the cold touch before he realised it was the ice dragoness who was beside him. Halting their stride to a standstill they stood before the entrance to the temple "I'm...sorry we couldn't find it Malefor. From what you told me, Anise sounded like a really good friend. I know that it's not anything tangible like her bracer but...at least you'll always have your memories." The saddened male nodded in response before with a sigh he spoke. "Yeah...yeah she was..." He muttered quietly before his eye's clenched and his talons trembled in apparent anger. "I'm such an idiot, I should have kept it with me, I thought it would be safe in there." He snarled out his talons beginning to crack the stone beneath his feet. "No that's not true, I just forgot the thing existed, what kind of friend am I..." He spoke in a whisper now, his body shaking as he fought the urge to yell at someone, anyone, even though the only one he felt he could blame for this was himself.
Just as Crystal was going to attempt to console the purple dragon, a shout was heard from above. "HEY HOLD UP DOWN THERE!! Turning their eye's to the now dark and star filled sky above, the duo was met with the surprising sight of a familiar yellow dragon swooping down through the air with two large blue and green scaled lumps grasped in his talons. As Midas was but a few feet from the ground his large blue membranes spread out to hold him aloft as he carelessly tossed the two smaller and clearly younger dragon's to the ground with a light thud, their rough landing causing a miniature cloud of dust to form as Midas landed on his feet behind them. Malefor was about to ask why Midas was here and who he had brought with him when his dual colored eye's were transfixed by the black metal object on the ice dragon's left wrist. His purple and yellow eye's were briefly widened before they narrowed in what could only be described as silent rage. "I was on my way home when I just so happened to overhear these two talking about blue boy's little trinket here." Midas spoke as he gestured to the bracer on the prone ice dragon's arm, the young duo were both paralyzed with an immense feeling of fear as they found themselves being tossed to the hounds or in this case dragon's.
"Wait Malefor is that-" Before Crystal could finish her sentence the purple dragon had snatched the thief up by the wrist wearing the bracer, and holding him at up in an awkward angle where his back legs were splayed on the ground as he forced the smaller dragon up to meet his furious eye's. "I want you to tell me something..." He said lifting another talon to the pluck the stolen property from the frightened male's wrist before holding it before the dragon's blue eye's as with a deep snarl the purple dragon brought his own muzzle into direct contact with the ice dragon's own scaled nose. With his teeth bared and his eye's full of rage Malefor continued. "Give me one good reason you had for stealing this before I show you why it is I was so feared!"
"Did it work?"
Malek asked the former guardian, his shadows moving like wisps of fire, red eye's narrowed in thought. "Yes, the girl had a brief vision of the past, if the dreams continue her memories may yet return, though I am uncertain as to if and when they will." The fire dragon responded to the keeper of souls. "All that matters is we have an ace in the hole, if it comes down to it, I pray she will remember." Malek assured the chronicler, while also attempting to convince himself thing's would work out. "In the meantime, we should be ready for visitor's, I was able to catch a glance at Itami and it appears she has departed from Dante's freezer and is closing in on Warfang, the coming confrontation is unavoidable, but if all goes according to plan, Malefor will rise to the approaching challenge..." The physical mass of darkness let out a sigh before he continued, his crimson eye's staring at the book Ignitus was examining, more specifically the name on it's cover.
"Phaarae"
"I only hope they can best her without the need for more pain..."
Meanwhile atop one of the many hillsides overlooking the valley outside of Warfang a familiar red scaled dragoness and a black furred wolf had their eye's set on the dragon city, and as Itami began to think of her next course of action she couldn't help but admire the little bit of jewelry her vessel was adorned with, specifically the way the moonlight glinted and reflected off of her black wristguard. "Be seeing you soon Mal..."
