-Chapter Nine: Malefor's Ancestral Past-

Malefor descended from the beacon of light and landed with a thud. "I thought I killed you." Spyro snarled, spreading his wings. "Spyro, I'm not here to hurt you. I'm here to tell you something important." Malefor said calmly. Spyro folded his wings. "And," Spyro rushed, uneasily. Malefor sighed at Spyro's arrogance. "My son is in need of help. He has drained my powers shortly after my death." Malefor stated.

Spyro looked at him strangely. "So…" Spyro said, arrogantly. "Listen, I'm trying to help, please accept my fate and carry on now, I'll leave if you continue to act arrogantly." Malefor assured. Spyro sat down and looked at him. "Sorry," Spyro apologized. "As I was saying, my son, Destroyer, is well known for his name. Destroying things is in his nature, I need you to give him this, before my ancestor ensures his Dark powers for evil." Malefor said, handing Spyro a small tablet.

"You're ancestor?" Spyro asked. Malefor felt uneasy, explaining his dark past reveals many dark secrets. Malefor gave a heavy sigh. "Spyro, explaining won't help, just give this to him." Malefor said uneasily. "I…I want to know, Malefor, I-I barely know who you are...besides the Dark-" Before Spyro could finish his statement Malefor growled. "Please don't address me as that. That is not me…" Malefor said, closing his eyes. "Spyro, my ancestor is an evil omen, he corrupted me…and now he is after my son." Malefor stated. Spyro lowered his head, remembering his ancestor, Whitla.

Malefor looked away, "Fine, I'll tell you." Malefor huffed. Sitting next to Spyro, he closed his eyes…and his dark past revealed…

A young purple dragon ran happily across a meadow with butterflies and dragonflies following. The dragon stopped in his tracks and lies down on a small patch of flowers. "Oh…this is the life." The dragon said, panting from exhaustion. An adult red dragon caught up with him. "Malefor…you're to fast for me." The dragon complained. Malefor looked upward. "Ignitus, you need the exercise." Malefor kidded. "Not my age," Ignitus replied, huskily.

Ignitus punched Malefor's arm playfully. "Come on young one, we need to practice you're elements." Ignitus assured, walking the other direction Malefor was heading. "Can I stay out a little more?" Malefor asked. Ignitus nodded and flew away, disappearing from sight. Malefor pranced around the meadow. Malefor panted and figured he should head for the temple. He waltzes across the meadow, unaware of how far he's gone.

Malefor all of the sudden felt cold. A dark mist appeared in front of him. "Well hello there, young one." The mist greeted. "W-Who are you?" Malefor asked, unsure and scared. "I'm not here to harm you, young one. I just wanted to offer my greatest blessing." The mist lied. "Really?" Malefor asked, shocked. "Oh yes, you will receive infinite power, you might rule the world." The mist said, capturing the purple dragon's interest. "Wow! What must I do?!" Malefor asked, urgently.

The dark mist chuckled. "Answer this question: Do you know all the elemental powers?" the mist asked. "Yes, but I did not master them." Malefor replied. "Oh don't worry about mastering them, you just to know them." The mist replied. "Okay! So…how do I-" Before finishing his sentence the mist floated right inside his body. Malefor screamed in agony, the mist was doing something to him. Malefor's eyes glowed red and his body emitted a black aura. "Now…you have the power to rule the world with my power, understand now?" a voice asked huskily. "Yes master," Malefor replied, obediently.

Then Malefor felt strange. He began to grow into an adult, he felt like killing everything in sight. Malefor flew off, every time he flapped his wings ferociously, fear spread across the land. Ignitus looked into the pool of visions, sadly. "No…" he whispered.

"And that, Spyro, is my Tale of Woe." He said, sadly. Spyro stood up. He grabbed the amulet and spread his wings. "Where can I find Destroyer?" Spyro asked. "Firstly, find Lycia and Bronzo, that comes, I'll return for further instruction." Malefor stated, vanishing from Spyro's very sight. Spyro threw the amulet around his neck (it had a neck lace). He flew off, once again, in search of Lycia.

Kelai awoke, she glanced around. Remembering the small incident that happened the night before, she sighed and got up. Cynder noticed her appearance and ran to her. "Kelai… Sparx left. He told me to say he… uh…. loved you too. But he felt too embarrassed to admit it, so… find him before he gets caught." Cynder assured, nodding slightly. Kelai stood bewildered. She smiled, nodded and ran after to find her newly found.

Sudden A/N: I know, you're wondering why I did this suddenly. No? YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY I PAIRED THEM. Hey, the girl loves him, give it a shot. :P Now, I want you to know, that even they love each other, they can't ya know… so this paring is fluffy, not like lemon or something. Hugs and friendly kissing only occur… for them anyway.

Kelai rushed over to a small lake. She panted in exhaustion and her chest heaves as she breathes. She saw a small golden light hovering just over the center of the lake. "Sparx!" Kelai called out. The light hovered over to Kelai. "Hey… Kelai…" Sparx greeted, quietly. "Cynder told me… don't worry…" Kelai mentioned. Sparx froze. "Sparx its okay," Kelai said, letting her paw out. Sparx sat down on her paw. "So…" Sparx muttered. Kelai kissed his head. Sparx blushed. Kelai let Sparx sit on her horns and they both searched Cynder.

A/N: Gotta love weird romance. Hey, no flaming! I can't handle that –chuckles- I can, bit I LOVE to make plot twist. :P R&R. :D
