Chapter 4

Electrics

I lied my butt down on a chair, grabbing a wooden glass of mixed grapes and apples. It felt really hot in here since I realized it was afternoon and I felt tired. Ignitus let me took a break for awhile until the conversation between me, Spyro, Sparx, Hunter, and the 4 dragon, include Ignitus, would be held.

"You are a brave knight who had been chosen. Do you have any power to defeat Malefor?" the purple dragon, Spyro, asked. He looked at me with his purple eye. Almost same as Judy has, and it matched with his purple skin and golden horns. His gesture, somehow, stated the disapproval with my presence.

"I have a night-vision for a real fox, and I can hustling." I drank the mixed grapes and apples which was made by the Moles with a black straw. It had a great taste, honestly. And maybe it would be good if they mixed blueberries inside.

"You don't have any power aside night-vision? Good, we're dead already." Sparx. the glowing yellow dragonfly, laughed at me. "I think night-vision is not good enough to defeat Malefor. Look, he has a dark power which is able to kill everyone. Even like the which who could attacked us to be blind for a while until Ignitus saved us."

I didn't know what it did mean, yet he wanted to scare me as I was the real and non-fantasy fox. Which was, for entirely, having no element power. But, I thought everyone here has same intelligence as I had. Lucky for me. "Ha! You think you can win om a kilometer marathon in the really-dark cave? I suggest you to have more glowing light in your body to win as I can see everything in darkness. Trust me, this eye has a good view, better than you."

"Well, funny to hear that," only what he said, drinking the mixed grapes and apples. His eyes was looking for an argument.

I smiled, showing my victory. "Having no more arguments, huh? A point for my victory."

"If you have no element power, then how would you defeat Malefor?"

"Do you think I was called to save this realism with full of power? No. First, Malefor attacked my realism. Second, he kidnapped what he call Pure Blood, but I call her Judy. Third, I have a gun, but it couldn't attack him. And last, I am trapped here without anything fantasy element power like you guys have. I don't know what to do anymore except save Judy and go out to this realism."

"Have you had any plan to rescue her?"

"Well, there might be some information before I prepare my plan."

"This is gonna be bad." Spyro shook his head as sighed quite deep. "How can I save Cynder?" he murmured.

I sustained my chin as looked at him who has same problem as me. Malefor had kidnapped Judy, and Bellweather abducted Cynder. It was like they had a contract for each other. And the abduction meant to call Iblis. What Iblis? I didn't know. It was a mystery thing that I had to know. What the purpose of the call? I thought it was for ruling the world. The realism. What should I do? Stop them. By what? I didn't know.

It seemed like nothing goals here couldn't be reached.

Except a hope.

A hope that maybe some of good people have a power more to attack them.

Or, maybe the magic of science could help.

I had read that everything is made by atoms which there are protons, neutrons, and electrons, either organic itself. In each atoms, electrons orbit the protons and neutrons to absence the magnetic field for every single time. The rotation is very quick until produce energy which is, if collected, able to form the energy that may very strong to make the electricity vibration.

In the proof that specific enough, nerve cells send the response, both reflexes and conscious, which make an electrical energy as its speed that ranges until million cells per second. By that speed, it proves that we should be able to make an electrical power from this body, each of us. But unfortunately, as we include as an insulator creature, then it was no possibilities for us to deliver an electrical energy itself out of body.

Moreover, the heart that stops beating can be revived by electrical energy with a defibrillator and the help of conduction gel, either liquid or solid, to reduce the burnt skin. The flow of electricity in the paddles is brought close to the heart to stop the fibrillation (the helpless vibrations a person's heart muscle performs during a heart attack). Within a few seconds, the heart will be beating again. In this context, it is proven that living things can also life with the energy of electric.

Yet, I thought it was still an absurd way that we consumes electric to get life like robot. What I thought was, the body change the energy from food to make us get the energy. And the energy can change to an electric with some power.

But, what power?

"Hey, Pal. You seem daydreaming."

"Don't remind me, Sparx." I realized that my drink had been empty. I shook the glass, hoping that I got more mixed grapes and apples again.

"Want more?" Sparx offered. "I can call the Mole for more mixed grapes and apples."

"And maybe blueberries, too."

"Okay." He flew away, leaving me and Hopeless-Spyro.

Spyro sat down and strawed his drink, telling his story of a remorse from a knight who made a silly promise that he even couldn't keep for a moment, "I was foolish to make a promise that I will always in her side, no matter what happened. But, the witch kidnapped her and I couldn't get her. It was the moment that makes me feel like a dreadfully traitor. I don't know if she will get mad at me or not, and still I can't look at her anymore. It was my fault that I can't protect the city and her. I don't know that I have to go with this mistake, or run toward everything and kill myself as a foolish and a traitor. I feel loneliness. Can you imagine it?"

Ah, my turn already. My stomach feel more hungry as digesting this conversation, by the way. I hope Sparx brought me the drink I wanted. "Sure I can. You feel really lonely, still you forget there are people around you. If you feel alone, you are really alone here without me, Sparx, Ignitus, and everybody here."

He expressed his face to show his disappointment. His muzzle's muscles lied down among the chin and his purple eye full filled with tears. "No, I-I don't mean about that. I mean, my heart, Nick."

"Then, I don't have a heart?" I gripped my heart, sticking my tongue. "Oh my God, I am dead!"

"I-I'm serious! Do you think it's a joke?"

I turned back to my position, saying, "Not at all. You are alone if there are nobody left. But you are here with someone, like me and Sparx, if he don't go right away. Unfortunately, you make yourself like you're not seeing anybody around you, so you feel alone. That's loneliness."

Spyro shook his head again, showing a misunderstood. "I still don't get it. Then what should I do to make me feel not loneliness anymore?"

I lifted his neck to eye him. "See around you and don't look down."

For a long moment, he showed his smile. "Thanks."

I leaned my body in this chair, looking at the white stone ceiling. "Looks like we have same problem. And we have to get them and cancel the sacrifice to call Iblis like I don't know. What the day of the sacrifice will be held?"

"No information yet. Ignitus will look forward for that."

"He don't know? I think Chronicler's power is same as knowing what future will be."

He strew his drink. That made me feel more thirsty as realizing my saliva produced too much instantly for a second. "I don't know. I never ask about that. Besides, It was the miracle that he appear as his job to change the Chronicler's position."

"He never go out?"

"Like Chronicler? He should do that. But, I guess, due to this important thing that might destroy our reality, he came to us and told what everything will be happened. Since every dragon temple now is full filled with peace, and only some problematic. I guess this one is a serious thing."

"Then what about the Chronicler itself? Where do he go?"

"I don't know either where he is. But I expected that he is going to take a rest, like long sleeping."

I interrupted, "You mean hibernate?"

He wrinkled his eyebrow to the top. "What is hibernate?"

I lifted my shoulders up. Perhaps hibernate word here was unknown. "Forget about that. What for he take a long sleep?"

"Power Restoring, I guess. I've only heard that one, never doing that for so long."

"But you have trapped yourself with Cynder and Sparx for three years. Remember that?"

"Well, three years is still short. I mean, the minimum of value on long sleeping is 100 years."

I realized my eyes wanted to go out. One hundred years? That was too long for me!

Sparx came suddenly while he was bringing 2 wooden glasses. I recognized I felt really thirsty since I looked the glass. I sipped my saliva that appeared again in my muzzle instantly, grabbing a glass after Sparx had given it to me. I strew the drinks until it was leaving half of the glass.

"What's happened. Sparx?"

"Nothing. I just wan to go fastly."

There was something different with the drink—I tasted more fruit than grapes and apples. It was blueberries. (Taste was excellent!) "Wait . . . where are blueberries?"

"Wait, you said with blueberries, so the drink have blueberries that mixed, right?"

I shook my head quickly. "No. It shall be blueberries. And the drink. Not mixed blueberries, grapes, and apples."

Sparx looked at Spyro. "Did he said that?"

"Of course I said that."

"Yes, He said that, Sparx."

I gave Sparx a smile. "One more point for my victory."

"Wait, we still play the game?"

"Indeed so. You loose 2 points."

"You cheat me!"

"I don't cheat you. I said, 'And maybe blueberries, too.' Not 'And maybe mixed with blueberries.'"

"Is that true?"

"Of course it's true."

"Yes, it's true, Sparx."

"Well, another point for my victory!"

"What shit to ya! I'll make you loose on your own games!"

"Sure if you—"

"Spyro, Nick!" Hunter called behind the door. He had a weight breath and a strong voice, indicating there would be a serious thing.

"Wait, I'm not mentioned? Then I'm not important?"

"Sparx!" Spyro eyed Sparx angrily for a while, then spoke to Hunter, "What's happened, Hunter?"

"Now it's time—Ignitus called us."

In the room that only had a shining aqua blue pool, I, Spyro, Sparx, Hunter, Ignitus, Volteer, Terrador, and Cyril stood up around the pool. They called the pool as Pool of Vision, as what like on the Dragon Temple before, yet only the color was aqua-blue.

Ignitus told me that I had a sleeping power within my body. It was an electrics. But he told me that the power would be awaken if I got a Blue Spirit Orb (I named it as BSO) which were in a place that I didn't know. Hunter would show the way to go with it. Unfortunately, we should look for the BSO before Malefor and Bellweather stole the things.

"But how?" I asked as I didn't know how to awaken my power within my body. "For surely, I know the power inside me that called as chakra, but it was so difficult even for myself as only a real fox who only have a night vision and hustling. Chakra can fully be my power as if I was a clean and clear-minded."

"It was like to have a power of, of . . . of flying?" Volteer asked. His eyes looked for good words to describe what he did mean. "I-I guess it can be reach only by, uh, by, by sit down and then, then, then, I-I guess the power inside will be grown if the ritual is, is, is fully held. I-I'm sure about it as, as . . . as it can be like . . . like, like you're flying."

"If you mean meditation, it's right. Yet, I don't have any wings to fly. And my mind is full filled by many business I have to do."

"Well, well, there are some kind of, of . . . of something that shall you do as, as, as you have to know about yourself. It is part of, of, of meditation itself."

"His mind is actually full filled by the confusion," Sparx whispered to me while Volteer was speaking, "and he still do the same thing while speaking."

"Yeah, I know what do you mean, Dragonfly."

"Volteer, enough," Cyril stopped him. "I know it is hard to do with even a meditation. Yet, Volteer is right. If you cannot clear your own mind, then you do not know about yourself yet."

"You mean you know me more than myself?" I asked.

"Who say I know you more than yourself?" He asked back.

"Then how do you know I do not know myself more?"

"Why do you think you cannot clear your own mind?"

"Then how I supposed to know myself more?"

"If you are unsure about yourself than cannot do the meditation, Nicholas, then what makes you afraid?"

"Listen. I gotta tell ya that I know myself better than you! And—"

"Nick, enough!" Spyro stopped me. I didn't know what would be happened if I was almost gotten by Cyril. He was such as student of Socrates—I was gotten by his questions.

"Wow, that should be the neverending question—they have good quality for politics," Sparx said.

"I don't know what's your problem, Young Brave Knight," Terrador said, "yet it's not the time to argument and stop trying. The destiny is in your hands now, so you shall do what it suppose to be. Have you had any plan to stop Malefor better than this plan?"

Wow, good. Another question. They completely got me in numb. I looked like a dumb.

Ignitus came over to me and knocked my heart by his finger. "Nicholas. You are the only hope with Spyro who can cancel the ritual to call Iblis. And there is a reason why you can do that. There is a huge power within your body that you've never known. The Blue Spirit Orb can helps you to wake the power up. It will creates a bridge between outside of your body to the inside of your secret power. There is nothing you can do to defeat Malefor, unless you have the control of your power and your fearful."

"Relax, Nick. I know what it feel. Like at first I knew that I was not a dragonfly, but a dragon."

"Yeah, I know that story. And, okay. I will try my best."[]
