Alright guys, I don't know about you but I've been looking forward to this chapter. The reason for this is because some questions will finally be answered, which ones you ask? Well time to find out.

I slowly opened my eyes as I did I immediately realized that that I couldn't see out of my right eye anymore. With that thought in mind I felt depressed, I had never thought that I would lose my vision and what's worse is that my right eye had been my good eye.

I sighed before bringing my head forward, what I saw shocked me. Krystal was laying down right next to me, mere inches, I felt my heart beat faster which resulted in me breathing harder.

Krystal must have felt my breath because a second later her eyes opened, eyes widened I now felt my heart beat faster.

She looked at me "Morning." Krystal said sweetly.

I blushed "Uh- morning..." I replied nervously almost feeling awkward.

Krystal looked at me confused "Are you feeling okay? Your face is red." Krystal asked.

Krystal started to move her paw towards my forehead, now I really felt red "Uh no, I'm fine." I answered turning over quickly only to fall off the bed.

*thud* I hit the floor landing on my side "Ugh..." I moaned in pain "Well that's de-je-vu from yesterday." I said to myself.

Krystal leaned over the bed "Haze you alright?" she asked me worried.

"Yeah," I answered slowly pushing myself off the ground getting up "Just sore." I added.

I started to turn around but then winced in pain "Careful you haven't fully recovered yet." Krystal explained to me getting of the bed.

I looked at her "Well after what happened yesterday I don't think I will ever be able to completely recover." I said implying my right eye.

I immediately looked at Krystal "What happened with Spyro and the others last night?" I asked wondering what happened to them after Krystal brought me back.

Krystal put her wing over me "Don't worry after you fell asleep I went out, found them and told them what happened, but before they went to sleep they came in just to check up on you." Krystal explained.

I felt my stomach grumble "Oh yeah, I forgot I haven't ate anything since the other day." I said walking towards the door.

Taking my first step I tripped over something only to be caught be Krystal "Hey you alright?" she asked concerned.

I looked at her then the ground, "Yeah, just really wish I could see out of both eyes." I said this time stepping over a pillow reaching the door.

I opened it and walked out of the room Krystal following "You're going to?" I asked.

Krystal just looked at me and smiled "Honestly, with how you are right now I think I should come with you" she replied walking passed me "coming?" she asked.

I started to walk following behind her and she continued forward.

Once inside the cafeteria I found Spyro and the others sitting at a table near the entrance, Krystal and I went over to sit.

I sat down slowly "You okay?" Cynder asked concerned.

I looked over at Cynder "Yeah just sore from yesterday" I replied.

"I don't blame you" Flame said understanding "You took so many direct hits yesterday".

I leaned forward over the table "Yeah" I said as if in question of it.

"Although I still can't believe you ran away forfeiting the match" Flame added.

I looked down towards the table "I mean why did you- OW!" Flame cried paws on top of his head.

Flame looked across at Ember "What was that for?" Flame asked ticked.

Ember looked at him disappointed "You don't know when to keep quiet do you?" said Ember in response.

I quietly laughed at that "At least you seem to be doing well now" Spyro said noticing me being amused.

Ember looked over towards Spyro "That reminds me Spyro, nice match you had yesterday" Ember said flirtatiously before looking over at Cynder "I'm just sorry that you had to lose to her" she added frowning.

I looked up at both Cynder and Spyro "You two sparred against each other yesterday?" I asked surprised.

Spyro looked at me "Well you see being that we're the only dragons who can control more than 1 element its only way to be fair, though I still have yet to fully recover all my abilities" Spyro explained.

I put my head back down "So is it true what Krystal said?" Archer said leaning over the table, I looked at him "Did Ghost really take out your right eye?" he asked.

I sighed "Believe me I wouldn't have said it if it weren't true" I answered bringing up my right paw going over the scarred scratch mark that had recently been added.

All of a sudden the entrance doors opened with a dragon running inside before falling on the ground "NO STOP PLEASE!" she begged.

I lifted my head up starring at the dragoness /what the hell? / I wondered as I stood up in my seat.

Spyro and Cynder rushed over to the dragoness, Flame and Ember followed slowly behind.

Cynder studied the dragoness "She was hit with a fear blast, Spyro." said Cynder now looking at Spyro as if for an answer.

I walked over to the dragoness looked at her then to the doors, to find outside Reaper and Ghost next to two other dragons on the ground "That son of a bitch." I said now disgusted.

I walked through the entrance doors to find the two standing over another dragon.

"Well, he's not it" said Ghost disappointed.

"Hey!" I yelled both now looking at me "What the hell are you guys doing?" I asked.

"Why am I not surprised to see your two here, especially in a situation like this." Spyro said walking as he walked up to my right side.

I turned around to find the others coming from behind me as well.

I turned back toward the two dragons "You won't be escaping from this one Ghost." I told him.

Ghost grinned "Who ever said I was going to escape? Reaper you know what to do." Ghost instructed.

Reaper just rolled his eyes before stepping forwards "Yeah, yeah." he said not sounding overly excited.

Reaper closed his eyes only to re-open them "Everyone quick, close your eyes!" Cynder yelled.

I looked over towards Cynder who closed her eyes then the others who also shut there's /I don't get it/ I thought as I looked back at Reaper who opened his mouth.

I saw red energy start to form in his mouth, knowing he was probably going to attack I moved only to find that I wasn't able to.

I looked at my feet "What the?!" I questioned as I looked back at Reaper who fired his fear blast.

I closed my eyes bracing for impact but felt nothing, I re-opened my eyes to find that Ghost and Reaper were no longer there, I turned around finding that Spyro and the others were gone as well.

I was alone, turning around once more I found Krystal just barely able to stand and she was covered in blood "Krystal?" I questioned now afraid.

Krystal looked at me "Haze help me- GAH!" I watch in horror as I saw her get stabbed by a dragon claw through a rift.

I walked over to Krystal to find her dead "No! Krystal!" I dropped to the ground, tears started to form "What's happened?" I asked out loud as tears started to drop from my face "Hahaha, you've failed."

I looked up to find Malefor looking at me through the rift "What have you done?!" I asked starting to get angry.

Malefor only laughed "I killed her, but before you start blaming me you should know that it was your own fault." Malefor said.

I slowly got up "What do you mean my fault?!" I angrily asked teeth gritted.

Malefor looked at me with pity "You weren't strong enough to save her from me and my how she called you for help." Malefor said now laughing.

I lowered my head in anger "Don't worry though I made sure to finish her off slowly, you should have heard her scream before." Malefor said now starting to really laugh amused.

XXX (GEN POV)

With every word Haze heard he grew even angrier and filled with hatred toward Malefor. Slowly both of Haze's eyes glowed blood red as shadow encircled him getting thicker and started burning.

XXX (Back in the real world)

"Everyone quick, close your eyes!" Cynder yelled.

Everyone did as instructed, except Haze who just turned from them to Reaper.

A moment later Cynder felt uneasy as did Spyro, they both opened their eyes to find Haze standing still, eyes glowing blood red as his shadow slowly started to circle around him burning everything.

"Cynder" Spyro said as if asking for answer.

Cynder looked at Haze scared "Reaper what have you done?..." Cynder questioned herself quietly.

As seconds went by the shadow around Haze grew taller and more intense, it burned like a fire towards the sky.

"Cynder what's going on?" Krystal asked confused /why am I sensing so much hatred and pain? / She wondered as she opened her eyes.

Opening her eyes what she saw scared her deeply "Haze! Oh the ancestors!" she cried.

With that comment Archer, Ember and Flame also open their eyes.

Flame looked from Haze to Reaper "Reaper what did you do to Haze?!" he asked angrily.

Reaper only smiled "Spyro!" Ember cried running behind Spyro.

"Cynder what's happening?" Archer asked figuring she would know what was going on due to her warning.

Cynder studied Haze "He must of got hit by Reapers fear blast, I can sense a lot of anger and pain coming from him which is probably the cause of this." Cynder explained looking over at the two dragons.

Reapers eyes stopped glowing and he began to turn away "Looks like we found him" Reaper said.

Ghost also started to turn and walk away "Yes this will please him." Ghost replied.

As the two dragons walked away the shadow flames around Haze got to the point where it now started burning over his face.

Cynder took a step towards Haze "Haze it's not real, whatever you're seeing is only an illusion" Cynder said trying to get through to Haze.

After seeing that words couldn't get through to him Cynder came up with an idea she took a few steps towards Haze until she was a few inches from him and then unleashed her own fear blast which began resonating with Hazes energy.

/Alright let's see what's going on/ Cynder thought as she closed her eyes allowing her mind to travel inside of Haze.

XXX (Hazes illusion)

Cynder opened her eyes and immediately saw Haze in front of her in the same position that he was in the real world.

She then looked past him seeing Krystal's dead body and walked up to it observing it "It's no wonder you're in so much pain" Cynder said looking back towards Haze "You thought you saw Krystal die right in front of you, but I wonder, if this is your fear then does that mean you?" Cynder questioned as she began to walk back up to Haze.

"Haze you need to listen to me, Krystal is not dead she's still alive" Cynder said only to be pushed back by a shockwave.

"Ugh" Cynder moaned as she looked back at Haze "Haze please you must listen" she pleaded getting up on all fours approaching him "This is all an illusion it's not real!"

Cynder watched as Hazes eyes grew even redder as well as the flames growing more intense "Haze!" she pleaded as she felt herself being pushed back.

XXX (Back in the real world)

The connection between Cynder and Haze had broken causing Cynder to fall backwards "Ah!" she yelled as she hit the ground.

"Cynder!" Spyro shouted worriedly as he rushed over towards her helping her up.

Spyro looked at Cynder "Cynder are you alright? Did you find out what's happening to Haze?" Spyro asked.

Cynder looked from Spyro to Haze "He thinks he saw Krystal die, that's why this is happening" Cynder explained.

Krystal started to approach Cynder "He thinks he saw me die?" Krystal asked now shocked and surprised.

Krystal now turned towards Haze feeling sorry that he was in pain because of a lie "Haze" Krystal said approaching the pained dragon.

As she got closer she could feel his pain increasing causing her to shiver a bit "Haze it's alright" she said now mere inches from the black flames.

As Krystal started to enter the black flames she could feel Hazes pain though she was not being damaged physically.

Once inside she reached the black dragon hugging him "Haze it's alright, I'm here" Krystal said trying to calm him down.

At first nothing happened then little by little Krystal felt Hazes pain drop and the others watched as the dark flames around him began to subside. After the flames had subsided past Hazes neck he began to collapse on Krystal who was now holding him.

XXX (Haze POV)

I blinked my eyes feeling a few tears come from them, I looked at Krystal "I'm sorry" I told Krystal honestly.

Krystal looked at me with sympathy "It's alright it's not your fault" she responded.

I put my gaze towards the ground tired and partially ashamed before quickly remembering something "Spyro!" I said now looking over at Spyro who now put his focus on me "I need to see Terrador".

Spyro looked at me concerned and confused "Why what's up?" he asked as he began to walk over to me.

I looked at him gravely "When I was in that state I saw Malefor" I explained to him.

Spyro immediately froze where he was "Malefor?!" Cynder questioned in partial fear.

"What do you mean you saw Malefor?" Flame asked walking up next to me.

I turned facing Flame "I mean I saw him in that state, he was feeding me anger, I think he was trying to corrupt me or something" I explained.

"Alright then" Spyro said standing a few inches away from me "We'll go see Terrador" said Spyro confirming the suggestion, I just nodded.

XXX (At Terradors office)

Opening the door I saw Terrador turn around "Hello Spyro good to see you, and I see you've brought company" Terrador exclaimed.

As we all approached Terrador I found that Spyro wasn't very enthusiastic about this visit, not that I could blame him.

"It's good to see you as well Terrador though sadly my reasons for visiting aren't as good." Spyro responded.

Terrador gave Spyro a concerned look "Why what seems to be the problem?" asked Terrador.

Spyro looked at me as if for approval, I simply nodded my head "Terrador just a few minutes ago Haze got caught in Reaper's fear element, outside of the arena." Spyro explained.

Terrador eyed Spyro "That's not why you came though is it?" Terrador questioned seriously.

Spyro shook his head "You see we came because of Hazes fear or rather what he saw within his fear." Spyro explained.

Now Terrador looked at me "I saw Malefor within my fear." I told Terrador.

Terrador's eyes went wide "In my fear he kept saying things which made me get angry." I explained.

"Terrador?" Spyro asked the guardian.

Terrador just looked from side to side with worry "Young ones please follow me immediately." he said as he began up the stairs us following.

Getting to the top of the stairs I saw Terrador open the next door as well as hold it open allowing us to step into the room, the room which contained the pool of visions.

I watched as Terrador made his way to the other side of the pool "Haze approach the pool of visions" Terrador said, I did as instructed.

Coming up to the pool I looked at Terrador then at everybody just about knowing what he was going to make me do "Terrador can you tell us what we're doing up here?" Spyro asked.

I watched as everybody else when and sat on the side "Spyro as you know the fear element is an element that makes you not only see your worst fear but also immobilizes you" Terrador answered.

Terrador walked around the table "If what Haze said is true then there is a possibility that Malefors power might be infecting him" Terrador further added.

"Hold on a minute, even if that was true how could it even happen in the first place? I mean we would have noticed" Ember said in disbelief.

I thought about it for a minute before I turned to Cynder eyes wide "That blast, we both heard Malefor in our minds saying that he would take you back, it was before anyone came back" I said turning back to Terrador putting the pieces together.

"That blast must have been meant to corrupt Cynder but I took her place" I added.

Terrador looked at me eye to eye "So I predicted right, Malefors presence is inside of you" Terrador said confirming our thoughts.

"So what do I do?" I asked.

Terrador looked at the pool of visions "The pool isn't just used for seeing the future, it also allows people to venture deep within their minds" Terrador now looked at me "Haze you must venture into your mind and defeat the corruption, it is the only way to get rid of it" Terrador explained.

I looked at the pool of visions "It's up to the rest of you whether you stay or not" Terrador told the others giving them a choice.

Flame smiled "I'll stay, the more support the better" said Flame.

Archer just leaned back "It's not like I have anything better to do" Archer said without a care.

Ember just smiled flirtatiously "If my Spyro boo stays than so will I".

Krystal stood up and walked over to the pool "You can count me in" she said smiling.

I turned over to Cynder who just nodded before facing the pool again /great / I thought as I approached the pillow by the pool.

Once at it I hopped up was about to lay down on it but I quickly looked at Terrador "Head has to lay back" he explained.

So with that I positioned myself so that I was belly up, I then sighed feeling a bit depressed "You'll be fine" Krystal said as she put her paw on my shoulder.

I looked at the paw then to her "It's not fighting the corruption that I'm worried about" I told her as I lay my head down over the pool.

At first nothing happened but after a few moments I felt my eyes start to close automatically.

XXX (Hazes mind)

I slowly opened my eyes, as I did I felt my body lying on the ground, I leaned forwards resting my arm on my knee /This is what I was worried about/ I thought as I began to look around.

Looking around I saw that there was rock all around me though it was hard to see since there was very little light, luckily though I noticed an opening in front of me which must have led outside so I headed that way.

XXX (Back in the pool room)

"What's going on?" asked Flame looking into the pool.

Ember leaned inwards "I don't understand is that supposed to be Haze?" Ember also asked.

Archer curiously looked at Hazes human body in the water "Why would Haze be a human in his mind?" Archer asked also not following the logic.

Spyro looked partially away as if in shame "It's because Haze wasn't originally a dragon" Spyro answered.

Everybody except Terrador and Cynder now put their attention on Spyro "What are you talking about?" Krystal asked not understanding Spyro's statement.

Spyro sighed "The truth is Haze isn't even from this world" Spyro began.

XXX (Hazes mind)

Going through the opening I ended up outside with a whole bunch of boulder and rocks in front of me. I looked to my left to see a man or to be more specific myself.

"Go figure" I said out loud not really surprised.

The man turned around proving what I said, he looked exactly like me except that his eyes were all black "Well looky here" the evil me said looking at his hand "Since you're here I take it that means you came here to destroy me?" it asked.

I tilted my head forward "I was going to say get rid of but that works to" I replied.

XXX (Pool Room)

Archer sighed "Well I don't appreciate that you lied about it but I understand" said Archer.

Krystal looked at Spyro "Spyro, you should know that we trust you so there wasn't a need to lie to us." Krystal explained honestly.

Flame looked down at the pool "Guys I think he found the corruption." Flame said.

XXX (Hazes mind)

The corruption opened its arms wide "I hate to break it you but you can't beat me" it said smiling, eyes now closed.

I took a step forward then saw it vanish "What the?!" I questioned "Agh!" I grunted in pain as I felt something strike me in the back launching me forwards.

I fell to the ground, quickly I turned around seeing the corruption behind me /oh shit/ I thought feeling impressed.

I slowly got up; as I did I watched as the corruption walked over to me, we just stared at each other "Hmph..." the corruption snickered as his eyes went wide.

All of a sudden I felt my body start lifting itself up off the ground "Give me a fucking break!" I complained while trying to maintain some sort of balance.

I watched as the corruption threw his arm forward and in turn I went flying backwards a few feet landing and sliding on my back "Ugh" I moaned.

/Really even in my mind I have to get my ass kicked? / I thought as I leaned forward looking at the corruption.

All of a sudden the corruption revealed a dagger in his hand "You know you really shouldn't have come here" corruption said "You see if I kill you here then you die in the real world" it said confidently.

I sighed and rolled my eyes "Great…" I said sarcastically getting up once more.

I stared at the corruption just thinking about my limited options, could attack directly, try throwing stones and hope it hits or give up.

The corruption just laughed as it saw me thinking "You know it really doesn't matter what you do, we're in your head not the real world, I can just about do anything here" the corruption gloated.

I lowered my head before face palming it "I don't know who's more fucking stupid me or you" I questioned looking back up at him.

The corruption gave me a confused look "You just said we were in my head not the real world, so basically real world laws don't apply here" I explained.

It still looked at me confused "Let me show you" I said looking down at my hand.

Looking down at my hand I imagined my shadow energy forming in it, as I did, I then started to feel my shadow element start to physically form around my hand making the shape of a claw.

With the move now formed I turned my attention back towards the corruption as I raised my hand "Yeah I think it's a fair fight now" I said confidently running over towards corruption.

As I ran towards corruption he also started to run towards me just as he was. As we both were about to be in striking range with each other I quickly fell to the ground sliding past him and his now forming punch.

Now past him I quickly turned around "Claw Spikes!" I shouted.

I watched my hand as one by one of the claw fingers shot towards the corruption striking him in the back.

As he was struck I watched as his body slowly fell but before he dropped to his knees his body turned into fog, I eyed this closely before quickly turning back around lifting my arm "Shadow shield!' I quickly said as I saw a dagger immediately touch the shield with the corruption holding it.

I panted heavily now feeling my heart beat, I felt my adrenaline starting to surface "What's the matter tired already?" asked the corrupter thinking he won.

I smiled "Not quite, just feeling a rush" I answered bringing my leg around tripping it.

Seeing that the corrupter was now on the ground I quickly got up "Shadow fist!" I yelled having shadow form around my newly formed fist.

As the shadow fist formed I quickly punched the corruption in the gut, seeing him bleed, his eyes widened as he frowned "This isn't over." said the corruption in pain as he slowly began to fade.

Seeing him fade I stood back up completely taking a breath "Looks it to me" I said as I watched him vanish.

Slowly but surely I calmed myself down so my body wouldn't be on edge, so my body could relax.

All of a sudden I felt a sharp pain in my chest, eyes widened I looked down to see a dagger push through my chest "Gah!" I moaned fiercely in pain.

As the blade was being pushed farther through I felt my body being lifted, I felt more pain surge fiercely throughout my body "What?! NOOOO!" I said in agony.

XXX (Pool Room)

Haze coughed; as he did he coughed up blood as well as having blood drip from the sides of his mouth "Haze!" Krystal cried rushing over to his side.

Flame looked at Haze then back down at the pool before gritting his teeth "He's losing" Flame said feeling helpless.

"There has to be something we can do…" Spyro questioned also feeling helpless.

Suddenly Krystal laid herself over Haze, Ember noticed this "KRYSTAL WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING!?" Ember asked now red.

All eyes were now on Krystal, Krystal gave Ember a grave look "Trying to save Haze" she responded as she put her head down next to Hazes over the pool closing her eyes.

XXX (Hazes Mind)

Krystal opened her eyes, as she did she noticed that she was in a dark place except for a screen in front of her which showed moving pictures.

Krystal looked closely at the screen "What is this?" the dragoness asked.

Suddenly more screens appeared around Krystal each showing different moving pictures, and they all showed someone's point of view.

XXX (Hazes Mind, battlefield)

I squirmed trying to get free from the dagger but to no avail "Now you die!" the corruption said quietly, quickly pulling out the dagger.

I dropped to the ground on my knees bent over, one arm pushing against the ground while the other one was pressed against my bleeding stomach.

I panted, feeling my life start to drain, I slowly turned around to face it "It's over you lost" the corruption said with a wicked smile on its face.

"Ice Beam!"

I looked behind my shoulder to see Krystal fly in while at the same releasing ice energy from her mouth. I turned around to see the corruption look into the air as he started to become frozen from the face down.

I slowly got one knee "Shadow ball" I said weakly.

Using what little energy I had left I formed a ball of shadow into my left hand only to release it shattering the ice into little pieces.

I heard something behind me running so I turned around to find Krystal jump at me almost knocking me down "Haze your alright!" she cried with joy.

I started to smile "Yeah thanks to you" I said appreciatively as I started to hug her closing my eyes.

I felt Krystal hug back; honestly we were both happy that I didn't die.

After a few moments I opened my eyes but what I saw made me freeze. Krystal noticed that I tensed up and looked at me only to look behind her to see a man a few feet away on one of the rocks. The man had on a black hoodie jacket with dark blue jeans.

Krystal turned herself in his direction "Who's that?" she asked not sure whether to be calm or worried.

I backed up slightly "Never mind let's go back." I said trying to avoid the subject.

"But who is he?" Krystal asked once more looking now directly at me.

I started to feel nervous, face showing "He's me, there's only me here that's the point now let's get back." I partially answered.

Krystal looked back at the man "But that doesn't make sense, in coming here I saw your memories, you never looked like that, Trent?" Krystal turning back towards me "How can there be two Trent's?" she asked.

I looked at her before shaking my head "I said he was me, I never said he was Trent." I told her.

Krystal only looked at me more confused "I don't understand." she replied honestly.

I put my hand over my head wiping off sweat "My name, my real name, it's like your name, the name that was given to you by your parent's. It's, it's like a contract that tells you who you are and what you should and shouldn't do" I turned back toward the man "He's the one who broke the contract." I explained.

I looked down in shame "He is my secret." I said regretfully.

"I did what I thought was necessary all those years ago." the man said.

I looked back up "I know." I replied understandingly.

"In the name of your safety and everyone else's." he added.

I looked at him now angry "But not in the name of Trent!" I pointed out before leaving motioning Krystal to follow.

XXX

As Trent and Krystal left, the man turned his head slightly revealing his red eyes before looking back outwards.

Alright guys I really hoped you enjoyed that chapter since for me it was really fun to write. In this chapter I tried to give Trent a little bit more of a personality (Hope you guys noticed) since he had to deal with some personal issues. Speaking of personal issues we finally know Trent's secret, and in case anyone has been lost with that there have been clues leading up to this that show that Trent was hiding something. So, now it is revealed that this man had something to do with Trent's troubled past, though for now what that is still remains unknown.
