Chapter 7: Training
1st Person POV
"Well what now?" I ask Hunter after we waited for an hour for the arena to empty out.
"We go towards the center." He says as calm as anything.
I followed him as Spyro and Cynder headed towards the benches, I felt nervous as heck. In the way I take off my cloak and throw it to the ground.
"The normal dueling rules or customs are: we head towards the center and bow then we take out our weapons and duel at the word of the judge, in this case Cynder." Hunter said as he and I bowed and took out our swords, I had forgotten about it but luckily my cloak also hid my sword.
"Ready?" I heard Cynder shout from the benches.
I got ready as I steadied my sword and breathed a long breath in to steady my nerves, amazingly when I exhaled all of my nervousness vanished along with it.
"DUEL!" Just as those words left Cynder's lips Hunter lunged forward sword-first.
I deflected the blow with my sword and rolled out of the way before he could slash out again. I slashed and struck something when I look I saw that I had surprised him and he barely had time to block with his sword. I swirled and parried his sword. I pushed him off and swished my sword and actually slashed his arm a bit, I heard him hiss before leaping back.
"How do we win?" I ask Hunter now that were in a safe distance.
"Death Blow, we need to deal a blow which if we were not sparring would kill us, like a slash to the neck or a stab in the heart." He says still on guard.
I tense up at the idea of missing one of those attacks but push those thoughts to the back of my mind. I lunge and Hunter deflects my attack and swishes his sword I barely block. After having this attacks for a few minutes going back and forth I start getting desperate and I become easier to retaliate. I pant as I roll from another attack.
"No I won't lose not now!" I say and guided by some instinct swish my sword in mid-air and instead of just hitting air a thin arc of lighting bursts off of the sword and charges towards Hunter who eyes bulge as he is hit by the unexpected attack.
"Shit!" I scream as Hunter falls to the ground spassing like hell.
Spyro jumps from the benches and runs towards a cluster of red crystals and Cynder rushes over towards Hunter and me.
"I…I'm so sorry…I had no idea." I tell Cynder who's checking Hunter over as Spyro comes with some red Crystals.
Now while we were waiting for the stadium to empty out Spyro told me that the crystals had been tweaked to work on all species, so I didn't get surprised as the crystals dissolved on Hunter's skin I was also glad that if I accidently absorbed one I'd have a good excuse.
"What happened?" Cynder asked turning towards me.
"I…I just started getting desperate and I just got this urge and just… swung." I said lowly, scared that if I talked normally I would break and not be able to stop.
"I think we should go to the council." Spyro said after making sure Hunter was good.
I just nodded and after a few minutes Hunter woke up and after taking and wearing my cloak we headed towards the atrium. When we reached the atrium we head inside and towards the top floor. When we reach the top floor my legs are screaming in protest so I sit down to wait and take off my cloak.
"What are you doing?"Cynder asks smirking.
"Getting a breather." I say with a sigh.
"Well get up you're coming with us." Spyro says as he opens the doors and gestures me inside.
I sigh as I go inside the room once more to talk to all of the council…again.
"How do I end up in these shitty situations?" I ask Spyro who laughs lightly and goes to take his place in the atrium.
I inhaled and exhaled to calm my nerves and look up at the council with the odd sensation I had at the arena like when I exhaled all my nervousness goes with it. I waited a few minutes as Spyro and Cynder got the information to the elders and since my legs were screaming in agony folded my cloak and sat on the floor on top of it.
"We have been told about the situation and decided that you should elaborate in its details." The head elder whose name Spyro told me was Yarrow said.
Now before anything I should describe Yarrow and the others but the author would get finger cramps.
(Shut up and stick to the damn script)
Okay I'll describe Yarrow and the rest is for later, kay?
(Whatever)
Okay then, Yarrow was a huge dragon about 7 feet in height and 6 in length he had pale green scales and his wings were the color of fertile soil his belly was the same color and out of all the council members was the most lenient and kind one, seeing as he was the oldest he is the Grand High Elder meaning that his word is the one of most importance and he's also a life dragon.
"Well it started when Spyro and Cynder took me to the arena…" And I went on.
1 hour later after being questioned and even studied by the moles who also checked my sword, we were out of the damn place but not before the elders got to see the attack with their own eyes. I realized that desperation activated it.
"Ugh…my back feels like hell." I said cracking what seemed to be every single bone in my body.
"I'm heading to the park care to join?" I say to Spyro and Cynder turning around and heading towards the park.
"Hey where did you get the cloak?" Cynder asks me with her brow furrowed.
"You're box of miracles." I said catching the glances dragons, moles and cheetahs were throwing my way, fearful and hostile glances.
"Our what?" Spyro asked, brow furrowed.
"Fifth floor." I said with a wave of my hand.
The rest of the trip was left in silence. When we finally reached the park I saw that there weren't many dragons around but I did notice that there was a commotion in the middle of the park.
"We should check that out." Cynder said stepping forwards only to be stopped by my outstretched arm.
"I'll go you guys stay here." I said with a serious tone they never heard or expected from me.
"No were going to." Spyro said stepping forward as well until I sent both of them a glare which made them stay.
"You stay and I'll go." I said fixing my cloak and walking towards the mob of dragons.
When I closed in I saw that they were about the same age as Spyro and Cynder. But after swiftly making my way towards the middle I saw that the reason they were filed in a circle was a fight, an oddly unfair fight by the looks of it. It was a fire dragon against an earth dragon, now the fire dragon although pretty muscular didn't compare to the earth dragon. He was freaking huge for a dragon his age and muscular as hell, now I know that by default earth dragons are big but this was too much, what did his parents feed him steroids for dragons? I was snapped out of my thoughts when the fire dragon and earth dragon clashed in a flurry of limbs and claws. When the fire dragon took a nasty blow which left him a bit stunned I decided it was time to intervene.
"Alright that's enough." I said coming out of the crowd and towards the fire dragon.
"Who the hell are you?" The earth dragon said glaring at me as I leaned to check if the fire dragon was fine.
"Me? I'm no one." I said with a voice I made when I was mad.
The injuries weren't much but he was wasn't in the best shape I saw some red crys-tals sticking out of the ground and headed towards them. Now I'm not sure how to take them to him without absorbing them so I take out my sword at which the group retreats a bit, cautious of me. I smirk at how they act tough until someone meaner and tougher shows up. I slash the crystals and am pleased when not only they break in sizes that can be carried but that I don't absorb them since I'm carrying them with the sleeves of my cloak. I drop them next to the fire dragon and he absorbs them.
"You're quiet all of a sudden… that's odd." I say turning to the earth dragon my face concealed by my cloak just enough so that my smile is barely visible.
"I don't like your attitude maybe some respect will do you well." The earth dragon said smirking and taking an offensive stance.
I sighed taking the young dragon and putting him in the sidelines. Then I took out my sword.
"I didn't want to do this but you leave me no choice." I said and tested my theory.
My theory was that the elements responded to my emotions so since I was pissed I would slash fire.
'Let's test it then.' I thought as I prepared my sword.
I closed my eyes and blocked out any other thought and focused in my sword. I focused my anger of the situation, imagined it as a flow, and let all of it flow through my body towards my sword.
"Let's see how you get out of this!" I said opening my eyes which I assumed something happened to them since the dragon stepped back in fear.
But instead of slashing I felt the urge to plunge it into the ground, and plunge it I did. What happened amazed me to the point of speechlessness. Fire exploded in all directions from the point of the plunge but instead of searing heat all I felt was a warm breeze, same didn't go to the group of dragons. They were blown in all directions and fell to the ground with only the toughest still conscious. Unfortunately for me the cloak wasn't lucky and was burned to ashes. The reaction was immediate.
Everyone around me started screaming about an ape being here and that I was working for Malefor.
"Spyro, Cynder take the young dragon were leaving!" I shouted and moved just in time so that a rock went whizzing inches from his face.
I hissed at the near miss and started running off towards Spyro's and Cynder's. When I got there I knew I had to wait till Spyro and Cynder got there so I rounded hid between some nearby trees and waited. 5 minutes later Spyro and Cynder arrived with the dragon between them, unconscious. I sigh and stepped out of the trees.
"Well lets go in." I said, my eyes closed, voice heavy.
"I'm sorry Alex we-" Cynder stopped talking when I raised my hand.
"We'll talk tomorrow I need to sleep." I said opening my eyes and, after Spyro opened, stepped inside and went to my room.
I exhaled, put on some better clothes went to bed.
Sleep came after hours of tossing around, trying to push the faces of the citizens out of my mind.
