Chapter 8: Journey
1st Person POV
It's been two days since the park incident, the council has decided that I will learn with the rest of the dragons but that I was lucky since the anniversary for Malefors defeat was the was the next day and that meant I was going to have one week before classes started.
"This sucks." I sigh as we walk around the park.
"Well look at the bright side, you're going to take your classes with us." Cynder says, a bit too cheerful.
"Yea were going to take all of our classes together." Spyro says same mood as Cynder.
"That's not what I mean." I say as I lean against a tree.
"Then what?" Cynder asks.
"Why is the council giving a greeting for me?" I whimper dreading the idea.
"Well…" Spyro says but stops not knowing what to say.
"It's at the beginning of the ceremony right?" I ask sliding down the tree to sit against it.
"Yea, I wonder who's organizing it?" Spyro wonders.
"It pains me that my own brother doesn't know what I'm up to." A voice sounds from behind Spyro and Cynder.
"Who?" I ask before seeing a dragonfly hovering a feet away from Spyros face.
"Sparx?" Spyro ask with a puzzled look.
"What are you doing here?" Cynder asks glaring death towards the dragonfly.
'Whoa what did I miss?' I think looking between Spyro, Cynder and the dragonfly.
"What's going on?" I ask clearly not knowing what's happening.
"Oh, Alex meet Sparx my surrogate brother." Spyro says pointing at the dragonfly with a paw.
After a good 3 minutes of staring with my mouth open, and Sparx laughing like a maniac, I'm able to get my bearings again and pick my mouth closed.
"Okay…." I say the only semi coherent word I can.
"Uh… Sparx did you need anything?" Spyro asks Sparx.
"You hurt me Spyro." Sparx says putting a hand to the chest.
"Well tell us the reason." I say already annoyed by the dragonfly.
"I'm the one organizing the festival!" Sparx shouts huffing.
"You?" Cynder asks with a questioning look.
"Yes me!" Sparx shouts crossing his arms.
"Come on Spyro help me out." Sparx says going between Spyros horns.
"I don't know Sparx is it really true?" Spyro said glancing upwards.
"Well if it is true then tell us the complete schedule of the main events throughout the week." I said to stop the useless bickering.
"Well tomorrow we start with the opening ceremony and the Guardians do a little speech for the ones that died and there's the registration for the tournament." Sparx said.
"Tournament?" I said already excited.
"Yep there's going to be a tournament and anyone can compete." Sparx said smirking.
"You guys going to enter?" I ask Spyro and Cynder.
"I don't know…are you?" Cynder says and asks.
"Yep." I said.
"Sparx what am I supposed to do to enter the tournament?" I asked Sparx.
"Easy, head to the arena and in the entrance there's going to be a bunch of persons registering for the tournament, they give you a sheet of paper and you write your name, species and weapon if any." Sparx said hovering literally 3 inches from my face.
My smile was gone immediately since I had to put my name and species.
"Can one not put the species?" I ask Sparx.
"No… why?" Sparx asks me.
"I may be confused with the wrong species." I state with no emotion.
"What are you?" Sparx asks.
"Sparx that's enough." Spyro tells the dragonfly.
"We'll tell you when we get home alright?" Spyro says shoving Sparx away with his snout.
"Well fine but I want all the details!" Sparx says flying away.
"Thanks." I say sighing.
"My brother can be like that sometimes." Spyro says smiling apologetically.
"Its fine." I tell him with a dismissive wave of my hand.
"Well what now?" I ask looking around the park.
"Well I'm not sure." Cynder says.
"Let's go then." I say standing up and smoothing my cloak.
"Where?" Cynder asks also standing up.
"I don't know anywhere." I say choosing a direction and starting to walk.
"Let's go to your house I'm sleeping early today." I say yawning and stretching.
"Yeah I thinks that's good." Cynder said yawning as well.
"Intoxicating, right?" Spyro says also yawning.
We all laugh and reach the house in peaceful silence, we bid our goodbyes and go to our respective rooms to sleep. The last sound I heard was Spyro and Cynder talking with the annoying dragonfly and someone much younger.
Dream Realm
I blink twice as my eyes get used to the dark and I look around to see I'm in the now familiar library.
"Ignitus?" I ask looking around for the old dragon.
"Ah we meet again." Ignitus says coming from nowhere.
'How does he do that?' I question myself but don't say out loud.
"Hey, anything new?" I ask casually, too casually.
Ignitus stares at me like I got two heads which makes me fell strange.
"Yes as a matter of fact another human has found his way to the realms." Ignitus said making a book hover over to him as I almost choke on my own air.
"What?!" I practically ask/shout at him from the top of my lungs.
"Well someone's shocked." Ignitus says amused.
"Well no shit!" I say exasperated.
"Where is he?" I ask as Ignitus opens the book.
"Well… according to this he's in Twilight falls and he'll be unconscious for 1 more day." Ignitus said eyeing the book.
"Hmmm… I can speak with the council and be off in 2 days more or less." I said staring into space as I thought of how to tell the council.
"Yes but now it is time to wake up." Ignitus said smiling down at me.
"Tomorrow?" I ask as my vision starts to fade.
"Sure." Ignitus says and that's the last thing I hear.
Real World
I awake in a strange position but I'm used to that. I yawn and head to the bathrooms to wash and change into some clothes and choose another cloak, I told Cynder to bring me some new ones to wear.
As I descended the stairs the scent of meat hit my nostrils and I couldn't help but smile.
'What do they have with meat?' I thought to myself.
I mean I get their dragons but, really? Always? Not that I complain though.
"Well how is everyone this fine morning?" I ask cheerfully while I sat down to eat.
"Well your cheerful today." Cynder says biting into her food.
"Well… The Chronicler told me that there was another human and I always feel like this in the mornings." I said shrugging and taking a bite off my decent sized steak.
"Well tha… wait what!" Screamed Spyro.
"Oh one more thing can you guys organize a small search party to Twilight falls?" I said highly amused by their reaction.
"How are you taking this so well?" Cynder asked after she managed to pick up her jaw.
"The Chronicler already told me and by being shocked I'm not doing anything." I said shrugging again and continued eating.
"Well we can talk with the council... or organize a private team." Spyro said with a mischievous grin.
"Oh?" Cynder questioned.
"Purple boy wants to break the rules?" I said smiling.
"Well I have before and I have the best team for the occasion." Spyro said finishing his meal and standing up.
"Hmm… fine lets go." I said also finishing and standing up.
"You coming?" I asked Cynder as I headed to the door fixing my cloak.
"No I need to do some things around the house and Warfang." Cynder said with an apologetic smile.
"Its ok." I said opening the door and going outside.
Spyro joined me a few minutes later.
"Well where do we go to?" I asked looking around.
"They should all be at the arena." He said as we started to walk.
We took a few minutes to get to the arena and in the way I heard the rumors about the incident in the park. It was altered but pretty close to the truth, as most rumors.
When we finally reached the arena and entered it I was overwhelmed.
There were tons of people training left and right.
"Why is there so many persons around here?" I asked picking up my jaw.
"It's the beginning of the festival so everyone is here practicing for the tournament." Spyro stated looking around.
"There!" He exclaims.
I follow his stare and see that he's looking at a young fire dragon fighting two more dragons.
"Who is he?" I ask Spyro seeing the brawl begin.
"He's a very good friend of mine and the son of the captain of the guard." Spyro said heading over to the dragon.
I continue watching from the sidelines as the fire dragon starts getting over powered by the 2 dragons. But Spyro swiftly gets in to help in the fight. The only person to actually analyze that Spyro was fighting was the fire dragon the other 2 dragons just saw another opponent. The match ended swiftly as Spyro's agility and experience and the fire dragons brute force defeated the two dragons whose elements were earth and ice. I walked over to the 2 of them.
"Well that ended quickly." I said as I approached them.
"Who the heck are you?" The fire dragon asked me.
"Well I'll let Spyro make the introductions since I'm not in the mood to talk a lot." I said turning to Spyro who sighed and started speaking.
"Drake this is Flame, Flame this is Drake." Spyro said swinging his paw between the both of us.
"Drake?" I said to Spyro wondering about the nickname he gave me.
"Well it's a pleasure to meet you Flame." I said with a small bow.
"Oh please no need to be so formal." Flame said shaking his head.
I just shrugged.
"Well Flame can you go get Ember?" Spyro asked him.
"Sure but why and where?" Flame asked.
"Well I can't say why but I can say where and that's in the park in a hour." Spyro told him.
"Aw your no fun but ok park in a hour." Flame said and turned to leave.
After he had left I tuned to Spyro.
"Now where are we off to?" I asked cracking my back bones.
"To look for the last 2 in our team lets go." Spyro said going towards the nearest exit with me behind him.
For some reason I knew that this journey wasn't going to be completely peaceful, but I knew that along the way I put upon myself quite some weight.
This journey is my first step.
