Chapter 2
When unknown meets the purple dragon
Spyro's point of view
Me and Sparx are playing around as usual, but, as always, Sparx has the advantage because I can't fly. So I still ran to keep up with him, we kept going forward, a small distance farther away from home, up to the point when we got to a head of a giant snake, luckily it was dead.
"Hey!" I yelled. "That's cheating, we're not allowed in there!"
"Pfft!" Sparx replied. "Excuses, excuses! Catch up or give up chunky!"
I'm not giving up but I don't want to loose him either, so I decided to follow him into the skeleton, but we have no idea that we were followed.
Luminous's point of view
I followed the dragon into the mouth as I walked deeper and deeper into the snake, my body glowed softly so I can see where I'm going, especially when your fear is the dark like my fear is. I heard a voice echoed through the snake.
"Have anyone seen a giant purple thing, it seems like I've lost mine!" The voice said.
I followed until I made it towards the end, I saw that the dragon found his brother, I saw someone above them who jumped down and snatched the dragon fly.
"SPARX!" He cried.
"I thought all you guys are gone." He said.
"You miserable coward, let me go!" Sparx the dragonfly told him.
"Don't let them get away!" He commanded.
Fuck, I'm caught now... I can't believe that I'm fighting a villain as well, even though I was suppose to be one, thanks for that one Master Eon or Nightshade. Finally I can feel my power restoring so I better start using it before it goes out of whack, I summoned a crystal to take care of two of the apes while the dragon took care of a few himself. Then I formed an orb of light and threw it at the ape overhead, he collapsed face first onto the ground. I flew over to the ape and the dragon fly who was still trapped in the cage, I grabbed the ape and lifted him up for questioning.
"Who are you?" I demanded. "What do you want with this dragon here?"
"Cynder have sent me an my group to kill him." He answered.
"Go to hell." I growled.
I slammed him into the ground and I summoned a crystal down on him that finished him, I flew to the cage to get the dragonfly out as he as shocked about what I've done.
"You should be afraid of me." I told him.
"I know I should but I'm surprised about what happened, including my brother, Spyro." He replied.
"You're welcome." I said. "Maybe a thanks would be heard from you."
"We need to explain this to mom and dad about what happened." The dragon told his brother.
"Mind if I come along?" I asked. "I'm not where I should be, but I need to find answers about getting back home."
"Uh, sure." He answered.
We made our way to their home where there is more dragonflies, I guess there's no one else from his species that is here for right now. I was led to a pink and blue dragonfly couple, they hugged the yellow dragonfly first before moving towards the dragon to hug him.
"Thank goodness that you both are okay." She told them. "One of the others spotted and over heard you before you both went into that snake head."
"Who is this?" the blue dragonfly asked. "We never seen a traveler who is here in the swamplands."
"I am Luminous." I introduced myself to them. "I helped these two get out of trouble, I assume you're both of their parents."
"We are." She replied. "I am Nina, this is my husband Flash, and our sons Spyro and Sparx."
"It's a pleasure to meet all of you," I said.
"Tell us where are you from," Nina told me, "we want to know why you've traveled to here during war."
"Wait... there's a war going on?" I asked.
"I thought you knew." She answered.
"I'm not from this world." I told them. "But let me explain, because the only war that happened the past century but has finally stopped is the Arkeyan war. I was still in prison at that point, I'm trying to get back to Skylands before Cloudcracker prison puts a bounty on me, including an enemy of mine named Knight Light. Me and Knight Light were friends at some point, but since I've lost my little sister and my mother to my father and my older sister, things changed. I only wanted an artifact called the Starlight to stop them from wrecking havoc, but he thought I wanted it for myself, and we fought for days until he won. I was casted out into the shadows, the only thing that started my fear, and now I can't make up for my mistakes. I'm not even going to hurt any innocents from this world, so once I got answers for getting back home, I won't be in anyone's way here. I know that I don't know any locations in this world, but if there is a map of the world and books about it, I'll take my research and make a way back. My armor is missing when the portal opened in my cell, but I can sense the rest of my power that is in my helmet as long as I have enough source of light to feel for it."
"A villain lost in this world, we'll get you a map of this world and you'll get started tomorrow, you need to rest." Nina told me.
I nodded as my senses picked up something suspicious, I formed a crystal before an ape jumped down from above. We looked to see that we're surrounded by another horde of apes, but this time, they carried battle axes. It looked like an invasion, I summoned my sword and moved in front of them.
"Guys, get them out of here!" I yelled. "They're only after Spyro!"
"Well, it looks like a scout is right." The commander of this group said. "A threat coming to make trouble in our plans."
"I, Luminous, Guardian of the Shrine of Light and overlord of the light element will not allow you to hurt anymore innocents." I told them.
I took my sword and I slashed the commander right in half as I engaged in battle, I can see that Flash, Nina, and several others were evacuating their village. Once I was done with a group, a few apes surrounds Spyro and Sparx, not even a few seconds later, Spyro set the small group on fire. The rest of the apes fled in fear as the battle was ending, during the evacuation, a few dragonflies were injured, including Nina, but no deaths occurred. I put my sword away as I saw a few dragonfly eggs were destroyed, I gently picked up one of the smashed eggs but what was inside nearly survived it being smashed.
"Where are its parents?" I asked Flash.
"The parents to this one died while they escaped their village from a raid." He answered. "No one wanted to take care of her after her egg was brought up to us by one survivor."
"She's a survivor alright." I told him. "Once all of this is over, I need to explain this to Master Eon about what happened. But I don't know about this kid's fate, hers could go in a good way or in a bad way. I'll have things figured out once I'm out of prison, which is after I'm done serving my time there. But something is telling me that I'll come back for this little dragonfly and continuing to help Spyro."
"If that's possible then we'll see." He replied.
