Chapter 5 Capture
Spyro and Cynder walked through the forest the sun warming their scales just as a large shadow came behind them catching them off guard but they surly recognised the shadow. "Cynder get out of here warn Leif." Spyro said to Cynder hastily as Cynder ran towards the Dread Gnome caves just as the creature landed. "Hello Spyro remember me?" A purple dragon said before pinning Spyro to the ground. "Malefor? How did you return?" Spyro asked trying to free himself from Malefor's grip. "That's for me to know and for you to find out." Malefor said before breathing a jet of fire at Spyro. Spyro quickly countered with his ice breath neutralizing Malefor's attack.
"Well you seem to have improved." Malefor said Spyro couldn't decide if it was a complement or an insult. "Now tell me where the Kin known as Prin is hiding." Malefor said "I am not telling you." Spyro said before a gold brown blur came from the sky and slashing Malefor with a gold sword embedded with emeralds on the hilt. Malefor winced in pain giving Spyro enough time to free himself before flying to the one who saved him. "Thanks Prin." Spyro said thankfully "So you are the one they call Prin the Shadow Lord would like to see you." Malefor said just before Cynder flew from the sky with Leif riding on her back "You touch her and I'll slice your thought out." Leif yelled.
Malefor only grinned as he knocked Leif and Cynder into a boolong tree before flying towards prin and freezing her in a shell of ice and flying off with her towards the Shadow Lands.
Leif woke in his room in the Dread Gnome caves with Spyro and Cynder by his side "Spyro were is Prin?" Leif asked "she was captured... by Malefor." Spyro responded "WHAT." Leif yelled getting to his feet and leaving the room "Leif where are you going?" Cynder asked "I'm going to save Prin." Leif said as he picked up his sword and left the caves.
Meanwhile
Prin woke in a cold cell wet and shivering from the melted ice as a shadow appeared in front of her. "I hope you are finding your room comforting...your highness." The shadow said before chuckling coldly. "Who are you? And what are you talking about?" Prin asked frightened. "Surly you know of the prophecy," the shadow replied before knocking Prin onto her back and bringing a dagger to her thought. "According to the prophecy the king of Del and a Kin of Dread mountain will mate and have a child that will have the power to destroy me and I can't have that happen can't I?" the shadow said "Your the Shadow Lord aren't you." Prin said astonished "yes I am and that child of yours will grow to be a powerful soldier." The shadow lord said "who or what are you?" Prin asked frightened. "You can call me Oestrus." Oestrus said before leaving the room with prin alone in the cell.
