Hey guys! I know it's been a while since I last updated this story *dodges thrown flat screen then looks at it* Why would you… never mind, anyway guys really sorry about the delay but first year in college isn't being nice so far and work is driving me crazy. Also want to let you know that after I get out one more chapter for this story I will be putting this story on hiatus until I get my other 2 stories updated.
I started to feel slight nudging on my shoulder "Haze, Haze!"
My eyes shot open "What?!" I rolled over to my left falling off the bed, landing on my front stomach and face.
"Well that hurt..." I said in a pain filled as well as tired filled voice.
"Sorry about that Haze, are you alright?" Cynder asked as she jumped on top of the bed to check on me.
I slowly picked myself up "Yeah, I'm fine." I said voice still hinting of some pain.
"Are you sure?" Cynder asked me not really convinced.
I turned towards her "Yeah I'm sure, so what's up? You don't usually wake me." I asked curiously.
Cynder just hopped off the bed and moved towards the door "Well Krystal said that you would be at sparring practice today and I thought that we might as well go together along with Spyro" Cynder explained.
I yawned and stretched "Do we have to go right now?" I asked Cynder not really feeling up to sparring at the current moment.
Cynder looked at me with a grin "To be honest; you're already late." she said.
I looked at her confused "What do you mean I'm late?" I asked her not understanding what she meant.
"Sparring practice began a half hour ago."
My eyes went wide as I looked at my dragon paw, I then put it back down /oh yeah, forgot that my watch disappeared/ I thought to myself as I looked back towards Cynder.
"Let's go." Cynder said to me as she opened the door waiting for me to follow which I did.
Leaving her room I let out another yawn "What time do you go to bed?" Cynder asked me.
"Late," I answered "Became a habit over the past year." I explained.
Cynder closed the door "If you ask me that's not a good habit to have." Cynder told me being honest in her opinion.
We started to walk "Perhaps but things do change as you get older" I replied.
"I guess" Cynder said not knowing what else to think of it.
Walking past the cafeteria I could see Cynder looking at me "Don't you want to grab a bite before we get there?" Cynder asked.
"Nah I'll just grab something later." I replied not even being hungry at the moment.
As we walked out the doors of the building I sighed feeling relaxed "So tell me, have you had other things change as you got older?" Cynder asked.
"School, interests, fears, and enemies, the usual" I said almost hesitating on the last 2.
"I think the biggest change in my life was having people actually accept me" Cynder said stating her own change.
"I don't doubt that it was" I responded as we reached the middle of the grounds "Alright now where to?" I asked.
Cynder took the lead "This way" she answered as she took the path to our right which led to a building that looked like a coliseum.
/impressive building/ I thought as we both entered.
Upon entering the building I heard a lot of loud explosions and other noises that I couldn't even really describe. Looking around I found that there was nothing except a door in front of us and a stair case that went up and to the left.
"Come on, this way" Cynder instructed as she went up the staircase, I followed.
It took a few moments but we made it to the next floor, I was awe struck. The building we were in really was like a coliseum, there was a walk way that went all around the building, a giant circle. I looked up to see that the ceiling was damaged, probably by the multiple spars that went on here. There were huge gaps in the walls and not really any roof. I could see that around the room every dragon that was at the temple was here.
"Spyro!" Cynder called out.
I looked back towards Cynder as she ran over to Spyro "Morning Cynder!" Spyro said with joy as Cynder got to him.
I looked at the two with a bit of envy before I saw Spyro look over at me "Hey Haze!" Spyro nearly shouted towards me "How you been? Haven't seen you at all yesterday" Spyro asked.
I closed my eyes and looked down only to put on a grin and look up once more "I've been alright" I replied as I walked over to him.
"Ice Blizzard!"
I looked down to my right to see Krystal fighting another dragoness, a dragon who looked similar to flame except she had purple highlights. All of a sudden a whole bunch of ice shards and snow surround Krystal before flying over towards the other dragoness.
"What do you think?" Spyro asked as he could tell I never saw something like this.
"Incredible" I replied still staring at the two below me.
"I don't think so Krystal, Fire shield!" the dragoness called out.
The dragoness opened her mouth which held a small flame which had expanded outward before starting to surround her front. The ice shards and snow instantly melted on contact leaving nothing but steam.
"Holy shit that's insane!" I said with excitement leaning against the small fence that prevented us from falling in.
"Amy is one of the most powerful fire users at the temple" Spyro said "And Krystal is one of the most powerful ice users, should be an interesting match".
"Yeah, I'll say."
I turned around to find Archer standing behind me before walking up next to me to also watch the match "You know since I never saw you fight I can't wait to see you spar and I'm not the only one" Archer said.
I looked at him "Hope I don't disappoint." I said with a grin.
"Ice Amour."
I looked back towards the arena to see ice start to build up around Krystal, her legs, head and wings were being covered in a thin layer of ice.
Krystal charged straight towards Amy "That ice amour won't be able to break through my shield." Amy said as she launched the shield towards Krystal.
"It's not supposed to." Krystal responded as she jumped through the shield having the ice around her melt away.
After Krystal came out of the shield she had slight burn marks but nothing that could faze her "Doesn't matter I can get you with this."
"Fire-"
"Ice beam!" Krystal quickly said as a ball of white energy formed in her mouth which then sent a white beam over to Amy freezing her legs.
Amy looked at her legs then at Krystal in shock "Fang?" Amy said finishing her moves name.
I could see for a split second that fire was surrounding her teeth but quickly vanished "So that was the point of your ice amour, to get passed my shield so you could be at close range to restrict my movement" Amy said realizing Krystal's plan.
"Great match as always Krystal!" Amy complemented as she used her fire ability to heat up her body slowly melting the ice.
"Thanks you too." Krystal said also showing gratitude for the good match.
"So I'm guessing Krystal wins?" I asked turning towards Archer.
"Correct, with the temples sparring matches, if you disable your opponent's movement you win." Archer explained answering the question.
Turning back towards the arena I saw the both dragons started to leave the arena "I guess it's my turn to go" Archer said as he walked towards the staircase.
"Hey Haze." Spyro said.
I looked over at Spyro "Yeah what's up?" I asked.
"Ever since you met her I've noticed how you been looking at Krystal, do you like her?" Spyro asked.
I blushed and turned my head "What's it to you?" I replied blushing harder "Besides I don't pry with you".
I could see Spyro just slightly smiled, probably seeing that I was shy about it.
As Archer approached the staircase I saw Krystal coming from the staircase "Good luck Archer." Krystal said as he passed her.
Krystal then looked at me with a smile "Haze! Glad you could make it" Krystal said as she joined us.
I smiled back towards her "I'm glad I was able to make it as well, that match you just had was awesome!" I told Krystal honestly.
Krystal blushed a bit "Thanks Haze." she replied.
Her blush went away though after she saw my face so red "Hey are you okay?" Krystal asked.
"Huh? Oh, hahaha, it's nothing, just remembered a funny joke from a long time ago" I said nervously trying to get my mind off of Spyros comment.
"Hey love dragons keep down, Archers about to start!" Flame told us sounding annoyed.
I gave him a death glare which made him back off slowly.
Having that in mind though I went back to the edge to find Archer stepping into the arena as well as Reaper /Reaper huh? This should be interesting/ I thought.
I looked at Spyro "You said Reaper had the Fear ability right? If that's the case then if Archer gets hits once, it's over. He'll be stunned" I said to Spyro trying to confirm my suspicion.
Spyro just smiled "True but let's not count Archer out just yet, after all while Reaper has a powerful move you also have to remember that there is no real variation to it" Spyro replied showing the con of the Fear ability.
I turned back to the arena "You ready Reaper?" Archer asked.
Reaper just rolled his eyes "Yeah yeah yeah, let's just get this over with" Reaper said.
Archer just closed his eyes and smiled "Very well then" opening his eyes back up "Frenzy Plant!"
My eyes widened as I saw the arena floor start to crack and huge green vines started coming out of them engulfing the entire arena /damn…/ I thought impressed.
Reaper looked at the ground surprised as he struggled to maintain his balance on the shaking vine which lifted him in the air
Reaper jumped of the vine and started flying in the air "Fine if you want the ground I'll just take to the sky, Fear blast!" Reaper said as he started shooting fear from his mouth.
"!" Archer dodged rolled to his left avoiding the attack and hid under the vine "You can run Archer but you can't hide, I'll find you eventually!" Reaper threatened.
"Earth Arrow" a rock type of spear shot out of the vines aiming for Reaper who easily dodged it.
"You have to do better than that!" Reaper said confidently as he shot a fear blast down into the area where the arrow had come from.
All of a sudden more rock type arrows came shooting out of the vines, which forced Reaper to started dodging in the air.
/Archers got a good defense, now I know what Spyro meant/ I thought to myself.
Once more Reaper shot another fear blast towards the vines but it was in vain for the arrows kept coming. I saw the desperation in Reapers eyes as he struggled not to be hit with the arrows.
Ember sighed "Well this match is over, I mean Reaper can only dodge for so long and besides the fact that Archer has cover for Reapers only move" Ember said explaining her thoughts.
I looked over at Cynder "Hey Cynder" I said.
Cynder looked back at me "Yeah what's Haze?" she asked.
"Well you have the ability of Fear right? Is there any way Reaper could manipulate it that would give him the advantage?" I asked?
Cynder looked at me semi surprised" No not that I can think of" Cynder replied.
"Why do you ask?" Krystal asked me.
I turned toward Krystal then towards Reaper who was still dodging arrows "Because I know that when your desperate you willing to try anything crazy" I said answering Krystal's question.
Reaper just continued to struggle as he dodged the oncoming arrows which all of a sudden stopped "Just forfeit Reaper you can't win" Archer said from underneath the vines.
With that Reaper just got mad "You think you're so tough with your petty vines but you're not Archer!" Reaper shouted angrily as he started to fly up.
"What's he doing?" Flame asked.
/I knew it, people who usually appear to be weaker will sometimes have at least one trick up there sleeve/ I thought to myself as I watch Reaper continue to fly in the air.
After a few moments Reaper stopped and looked down towards the arena "Let's see your plants protect you from this!" Reaper said as he flew straight down towards the ground.
"What is he?!" Spyro asked.
"Yeah he's insane" Ember said a little disappointed in what she thought would be a match ender cause of a dumb move.
As Reaper flew towards the ground I saw him build up the fear energy in his mouth, and right before he hit the0 ground he unleash the energy which spread forcing the vines to go to the sides of the arena exposing Archer..
I didn't need to look to see that everyone was surprised, Reaper landed "So much for your great defense." Reaper said as he charged Archer who also started to charge at Reaper.
The two met head to head on clash of what now seem to be a battle of strength, using their wings pushing against each other as their heads crossed the other's shoulders trying to push the other back.
As I saw this I found Reaper grin /Why is he grinning?/ I wondered as I saw his lips partially move.
I continued to watch for a moment more before everything started to get brighter, and when it kept getting brighter I closed my eyes since they were starting to hurt /what now?/ I thought to myself as I slowly opened my eyes once more.
XXX
Opening my eyes I found that I was back in the library where I met John except I immediately noticed that I was transparent "John are you absolutely sure?"
I turned around to find Ignitus walking towards me followed by John "What's going on?" I asked.
I watched as Ignitus continued to walk towards me "I wouldn't tell you if it wasn't true." John replied.
Seeing that I was about to be trampled by a dragon I quickly got out of Ignitus's way but not fast enough as I saw part of his wing pass right through me "Is this a dream?" I asked myself.
I moved my focus back to them thinking that I may be getting answers; Ignitus sighed "Are you sure that we can't call for Spyro?" Ignitus asked as he approached the circular table
"It's as I told you before Ignitus, Spyro isn't back to full strength yet and so we must call for outside help" John gravely said.
Ignitus sighed down at the table "You know I trust your judgment John, I just still can't believe it's come to this" turning towards John "Do you even know anything about him" Ignitus asked.
John crossed his arms "I've been observing him from quite some while Ignitus, he has the potential to control 4 elements" John said.
Ignitus started away from the table "I truly hope your right John because once we do this there is no turning back" Ignitus said still not sure of their decision.
After Ignitus walked away John turned around and leaned against the table and seemed to be looking at me "What you don't know Ignitus is that Malefor is only the first step of what is to come, the beginning of the end" John explained indirectly to me.
All of a sudden everything started to go white again, I closed my eyes then after a moment I re-opened them to find myself back in the arena.
XXX
Spyro looked at me concerned "Hey Haze you alright?" Spyro asked.
I looked at him "Uh yeah, just zoned out" I answered.
Spyro nodded before turning back to the fight /what was that? Some kind of vision?/ I questioned in thought.
I returned my focus back to the arena to see that Archer and Reaper were still at it, then suddenly Reaper jumped away backing off "I'm done here" he said as he turned around and walked away.
"Did Reaper just forfeit?" Cynder asked unsure of what just happened.
"Looks like it" I said answering the disbelieving Cynder.
I watched Archer leave the arena "So who's up next?" I asked looking over at Spyro, Cynder, Flame, and Ember.
Flame looked at me "As far as I know just about everybody here has already sparred, if you want you can go down and see if anyone hasn't sparred yet" Flame replied answering the question.
I tilted my head towards the arena "Might as well, what have I got to lose?" I said as I walked over to the staircase to find Archer coming up.
Archer smiled "Good luck, I'll be rooting for you" Archer said as he passed me "I'll try to put on a show" I replied looking back towards him as I went down the stairs.
Reaching the bottom of the stair case I saw the entrance to the arena on the left and made my way to it. I walked through, as I did a gate came down from behind me and the two doors in front of me opened.
I took a few steps outward stepping into the arena, and as soon as I did I saw the two doors across from me open.
As they opened I saw Ghost step into the arena grinning "You have got to be fucking kidding me…" I said in disbelief.
Ghost walked out to the middle of the arena "What's the matter scared?" Ghost asked me sounding confident.
I started to walk towards him "Not really, in fact quite the opposite" I replied.
I stopped only a few feet away from him "Tell you what, I'll be nice and let you have the first move" Ghost said.
I looked at him skeptically "Alright fine" I said as I backed up a few steps before lifting my head in the air "Shadow"
"Shadow Wing!" Ghost said without hesitation, both his wings had dark energy form around them as he ran towards me.
"!?" I was cut off from my move as Ghost cut my legs with his wings, I stood stunned for a minute before dropping down on my knees or whatever dragons call them.
I turned toward Ghost who was looking at me "Did you really think I was going to give you the first move?" He asked as if surprised.
I glared at him for only a moment before opening my mouth which then released a dark fog surrounding Ghost and the nearby area, I immediately jumped backwards away from the fog.
"No but hey, you never know." I said out loud answering Ghosts question.
I watched as the fog all of a sudden disappeared, unveiling Ghost from within, he had blown it away with his wings.
"Hmph," Ghost grunted "Amazing what you will do to try and defend yourself." Ghost said snickering.
/To be honest I didn't even know that would happen/ I thought as I opened my mouth once more to form the shadow element.
Ghost began to run towards me "If you can't even move while using your elements then you're a dead dragon walking." Ghost said to me sternly.
Seeing Ghost run at me I also started to run towards him, still charging the Shadow Revolver /Come on just a little bit closer…/ I thought to myself as I was about to be face to face.
Ghost started to charge his wings once more /I don't think so/ I thought as I dropped to the ground sliding under Ghost him still running.
Once passed him I quickly got up "Shadow Revolver!" I shouted as I turned my head around to face Ghost, I opened my mouth releasing the preformed energy firing it as Ghost.
Ghost who just turned around after going passed me saw the blast that was coming and immediately flew in the air.
The blast collided with the ground leaving only a bit of fog and soot as a remnant.
/so close/ I thought as I looked up towards Ghost who was still hovering in the air.
Ghost looked at the mark that was now on the ground then towards me, he grinned "I have to admit, that moves not bad," he said now putting on a grin "Let's see though how well I can pull it off."
My eyes widened "No way..." I said softly.
I gritted my teeth as I knew what was about to happen, I slowly started to put energy into my dragon claws, while doing so I watched as Ghost formed a ball of energy in his mouth.
/I know I haven't really tested this move but I don't think I have a choice/ I thought to myself as I let the energy start to form around my paws.
I looked back toward Ghost who almost finished forming the move /this move is not ready yet but… If I wait too long he will blast me with my own move/ "I won't let that happen" I said turning to my right starting to run.
As I began to run I felt the move starting to take effect, I found the energy had completely formed around my paws giving me better traction to the ground.
/this should do it/ I thought as I suddenly jumped at the wall from the ground sticking to it.
I looked at Ghost who looked at me curiously, I then felt the move start to fade, I looked at my paws /just a little longer!/ I thought as I pushed off the wall towards Ghost using my wings as a boost.
Once in the air I aimed my paws at Ghost "Shadow Grippers!" I stated as I neared towards Ghost.
Feeling that I was close enough started to draw back my paw so I could swing a damaging blow against Ghost who was right now shocked, but bringing my paw back forwards I saw that my move completely faded.
/no, not now! / I thought as I missed Ghost with my paw only to fall to the ground rolling a bit.
Once on the ground I smashed my paw into the ground as if punching it "Dammit!" I angrily said as well as disappointed.
"Nice try" I looked up towards Ghost who slowly hovered downwards "My turn" he said as he opened his mouth.
"Shadow Revolver!"Ghost said as he released the energy from his mouth, using my paws I pushed off the ground moving to the right dodging the attack.
After dodging it, I looked up to find Ghost charging up another Shadow Revolver.
Seeing this I went to get up but as soon as I attempted to do so Ghost looked at me /ah shit…/ I thought to myself as I once again found him firing at me.
Since I didn't really have a good way to escape or counter at the moment my only option was to dodge roll. Using my paws I once more pushed off of the ground evading to the right dodging the attack, landing right side up though I immediately saw Ghost firing another shot at me which in turn left me dodging again to my right. As Ghost kept firing the energy blasts I kept rolling to the right evading, barley dodging.
After dodging two of the shots though I felt the shockwave of the third one which pushed my body a little farther to the right, I was now on my side.
I quickly looked up to see what Ghost was doing "BOOM!"
"GAH!" I shouted in pain after getting hit directly.
I felt my body being slightly lifted into the air; I closed my eyes due to the pain only to open them once more because I felt my back touch something.
CRACK!
I turned my head slightly to the left and right to see that I had been blasted into the wall; I felt my body start to grow numb as I felt my eyes start to close halfway. It was only after a moment later that I felt gravity once more take control of me as my body slowly fell away from the wall; I landed on the ground closing my eyes in the process.
I opened my eyes partially, as I did everything seemed to be blurred except for one thing in front of me that quickly came into focus, it was Ghost who was using the shadow revolver for the third time "No, I can't die" I weakly said trying to force myself to get up.
I looked toward the ground and panted before looking back up at Ghost where I saw a black ball of energy coming towards me.
XXX
Haze's eyes quickly turned red.
BOOM!
Ghost smiled at the sight of nothing but dust and fog that was in front of him.
"Oh by the ancestors, Trent!" Cynder said horrified of what she just saw.
Flame who was in rage put both of his front legs on the observers edge "Ghost what do you think you're doing? You obviously won so why did you have to do that?" Flame questioned in anger.
Ghost just looked up at Flame and smiled before looking back towards the dust cloud and walking away.
Spyro clenched his teeth in disbelief watching Ghost as he started to walk /Ghost…/ Spyro questioned in his mind.
"GHOST!" came a voice from the fog, Ghost turned towards the fog confused smile gone.
Suddenly all the fog dispersed revealing Haze who stood up in a battling stance, wings up, eyes blood red.
Ghost turned his body so it was facing Haze "What, you haven't had enough yet?" Ghost questioned as he slowly walked over to Haze.
For a moment Haze just looked at Ghost coldly as if void of emotion, and then he started to bow, wings still upward. Haze jumped forward flapping his wings.
Whoosh!
"UGH!" Ghost grunted as he felt Haze fly into him punching him making Ghost fly backwards.
Ghost quickly regained his composure and landed on the ground only to slide a few feet blood starting to trickle from his mouth. He stared at Haze as if looking at a different dragon.
While he did this Haze started to walk towards Ghost "What you think your tough now Haze?" Ghost questioned seriously.
Haze didn't respond he did nothing but continue to walk towards Ghost.
"Shadow Wing!" Ghost said as he poured shadow energy into his wing giving them a cloak.
Ghost grinned "While I admit that was a good punch this match is now over!" Ghost yelled as he flew over to Haze.
As Ghost was about to make contact Haze grabbed Ghost's neck forcing him to the ground belly up.
"What the hell?" Ghost said trying to process what just happened.
Haze began to slowly raise his paw only to stop in the process, it had started to shake.
XXX
I felt my paw start to shake so I looked at it then down at Ghost, eyes widened.
FlashBack
I looked at the kid in lying in front of me that had blood covered all over him, I then looked at my hand which also was covered in blood.
FlashBack Over
I blinked my eyes a few times before backing up away from Ghost "No!" I said to myself horrified by what I just did.
I turned away from Ghost and looked at my paw which was now shaking, realizing what I had almost done, I then turned towards Spyro and the others who had on a confused look, I turned my head in shame before running out of the arena.
/No, no, no!/ I thought to myself as I ran toward the middle of the temple grounds.
I turned towards the forest that I went to the other day and proceeded towards it /this is all his fault/ I thought to myself as I neared the forest.
Entering the forest I went back to the same area where the little stream of water was, I looked into it and what I saw angered me deeply.
"Son of a bitch!" I said in anger.
I looked to my left finding a tree only a few feet away, I walked over to it. Reaching the tree I slammed my head into the wall over and over again about 3 times before just leaning my head against it.
"If it wasn't for you I…" I started but couldn't finish.
I lifted my tail so that its blade was over the top of my neck and began to put pressure on the scales. I did this until I felt a little blood coming out before slowly putting my tail back down, I had no intention of killing myself but I just needed some way to relieve stress.
I start to lie down on all four and leaned against the tree before closing my eyes to rest.
"Hey Ghost look who I found."
I opened my eyes as well as turned my head around to find Reaper coming my way with Ghost.
I stood up and looked at Ghost as he passed Reaper "What are you doing here?" I asked seriously not wanting anymore trouble at the moment.
Ghost looked at me as if trying to see through me "I'm here because I feel like it." Ghost replied without hesitation.
Ghost started walking to the side "I think the real question right now has to do with what happened with you in the arena." Ghost said wanting answers.
I looked at Ghost curiously but cautiously "Why does that matter?" I asked.
Ghost turned and started to walk towards me "Because I get the feeling that you were purposely holding back in our fight." Ghost explained.
I turned my head slightly "I hate to break it to you but I wasn't holding anything back." I replied honestly.
Ghost looked at me in complete disbelief "Bullshit, if that really was your best then you wouldn't have been able to stand up after that last Shadow Revolver let alone been able to do what you did after words" Ghost said trying to prove his point.
I stared into Ghosts eyes which told me he wasn't going to leave without an answer "You can believe what you want but I'm not lying when I say that I wasn't holding anything back." I stated turning around and walking away.
In doing this I could tell Ghost was angry "Alright fine then prove it!" Ghost said starting to walk forwards.
I turned my head around only the end of Ghosts tail hit my face "Ah!" I yelled in pain closing my eyes in reflex as I stumbled backwards.
I started to feel a sharp pain in my right eye, opening both my eyes I noticed that I couldn't see anything out of my right eye just my left which saw blooding dripping to the ground.
"Come on!" I turned towards Ghost who rammed me with his head knocking me to the ground "Fight me as you did after that last Shadow Revolver, I know you're holding back!" Ghost demanded.
I slowly got up and looked over at Ghost "I'm not fighting you, I don't have to prove anything." I replied meaning what I said.
I turned once more and started to walk away "Then it looks like I will have to force you." Ghost declared.
I slowly turned my head around to find myself being hit with a ball of shadow energy, I felt myself getting flung into the air before landing on my side.
Ghost walked up to me and stared at me "Maybe I am wasting my time" Ghost said disappointed has he started to walk away, Reaper following grinning before he went.
Lying on ground I felt my body cringe every few seconds as blood trickled down passed my face.
I started close my eyes wanting to rest "Haze!" said a voice and if I was correct they were behind me.
"Krystal…" I said quietly, too weak to move "Haze? Haze!" Krystal shouted twice more as she found me.
I heard her run over towards me "Haze what happened?!" She asked concerned and worried.
"Ghost happened, AH!" I said cringing in pain.
I felt Krystal's paw on me "Alright, I need to go find the others just hold on" Krystal said withdrawing her paw.
"No!" I quickly said "Haze I need to get you help" Krystal insisted.
"I know" I said horse "Help me up, that way we can find the others and possibly get closer to the edge of the forest" I explained.
Krystal sighed "Alright, then just hang on" Krystal said as she moved into position to help me get up.
I looked around with my left eye "Krystal it will be easier to pick me up if you're on my right side" I told her.
It went silent for a second "Haze I'm already on your right side…" Krystal said concerned by that suggestion.
For a moment more it was silent "Haze what happened to your right eye?" Krystal asked sounding very concerned.
I sighed "It was cut by Ghost's tail, I can't see out of it anymore" I explained to her.
Once more I felt Krystal's paw on me except this time it was on my face wiping away the blood. Call it weird but while she did that it made me feel better.
Again she took back her paw and started to move, I heard her walk to the other side of me. After that I felt something push against my back allowing me to slowly lie on my stomach, I took a guess that it was her.
Being on my stomach I slowly pushed away from the ground to try and get up but to no avail, once again I my something push me this time from underneath allowing me to stand.
Once I was able to stand the support withdrew herself "Lean to your right." Krystal said.
I obeyed and leaned against her, through my left eye I saw her take a step then I took one step, we did that for what seemed like 5min before coming out of the forest.
Stepping out of the forest I looked up seeing that it was practically night time "Alright will you be okay if I leave you here to go find the others?" Krystal asked.
I felt my legs start to shake "I think we should keep moving, the more stress I put on my legs the worse they will get over time" I replied to her honestly.
"Alright then just hold on for a bit" Krystal said as we both started moving again.
"Where are we going?" I grunted in pain as we walked past the center of the grounds.
"We're going to my room I have some spare life crystals that will heal you." Krystal explained.
XXX
It had taken us a couple of minutes but we eventually reached her room. Once inside Krystal carefully placed me on her bed so my body could rest, as I lay on the bed I heard her opening up multiple draws before walking back over to me.
"This will help you feel better" Krystal said as she put the crystal on the ground and smashed it with her tail.
After I heard it getting smashed I felt a rejuvenating mist cover my body, within seconds most of the pain went away.
Krystal walked up to me "Did that help?" she asked seriously "Yeah… thanks" I said before closing my eyes letting darkness consume me.
XXX
Location- East of the of the dragon temple, forbidden cave.
A dragon walked into the cave reaching the core "I got your message father what did you want? I also brought him like you asked" the dragon said.
The second dragon entered core "Been a while, Malefor." the dragon said with a grin.
All of a sudden Malefors spirit appeared through the rock, though only half way "Thank you son, the reason I called you here is because I have a favor to ask of you" Malefor said.
Malefors son looked at his father curiously "What do you need father?" he asked.
Malefor looked upwards as if looking right through the rock above him "A few days ago I sent out the last of my energy to corrupt Cynder, the blast was supposed to corrupt her and magnify her power. She was supposed to then free me using every last bit of power she had but there was another." Malefor explained.
Malefors son eyed his father closely "What do you mean father?" he asked.
Malefor looked at his son "I mean the blast didn't hit Cynder but another, another who isn't being corrupted darkness although their power did magnify. Just like him all those years ago" Malefor told his son.
The son stood up loyally to Malefor "What would you have me do?" he asked.
Malefor chucked "Go and reap fear among the dragons, he who has my power will burn with shadow all around him when being exposed to fear" Malefor instructed.

This chapter was actually a little longer than I expected… but it doesn't matter. Sorry if it seemed to get a bit sloppy after the second fight between Haze and Ghost but I needed to change what I originally planned that way it would fit and sound better for things in future chapters. Now before I go just want to let you guys know that the next two chapters will be ones that you guys have probably been waiting to see, also:
-Huge thanks to Airchi for beta(ing)
