The Guardians.
Volteer, Cyril and Terrador…the Guardians.
Ignitus was once a guardian, but he is dead now. Only three of the four remain, and they are Volteer, the Guardian of Electricity, Cyril, the Guardian of Ice, and Terrador, the Guardian of Earth.
I saved each one during Cynder's reign. I found Volteer in a desolate, arctic area known as Dante's Freezer. The yellow dragon was extremely grateful for my help…and words could not describe his gratitude. He was always extremely chatty, though kind towards me, and for his kindness I have yet to repay him.
Cyril was more cynical towards me, though he was a friend. I saved him on Tall Plains, as I saved a tribe of llamas known as the Atlawa tribe, and, though I could tell it was so, he hid his thanks with a carefully constructed mask of aloofness. He and Ignitus constantly bickered, as the Ice dragon thought that it was he who should be the leader of the Guardians, but I suppose his intention was good. He did like, however, that I was a purple dragon and was capable of easily mastering his element. He always liked to be the best of the best, but he was, as I said before, a friend.
…Other than Ignitus, my bond with Terrador has been closer than the others. The green Earth dragon judged people on not their species, looks or personality, but on how well they fight. And to have defeated Cynder, saved the Manwersmalls and rescued him, in his eyes, was a massive achievement. Yet sometimes I felt as if Terrador did not like me for who I was, but because I was a purple dragon and therefore a magnificent fighter, which was initially why I much preferred Ignitus. When I was all but a hatchling he sent me off to defeat Cynder and rescue Ignitus…and if the old Fire dragon had been there, he would never have let me go with such little experience.
Like all of my other friends, they are gone, trapped forever on the other side of the world…and the pain seems greater, for it is not one friend I have lost, but three. These dragons trained me to fight and harness the elements, and without them I wouldn't have defeated the Dark Master, as well as all my other triumphs.
And these are even more reasons for dying.
