Okay I don't have much to tell you right now so on with the chapter.
Chapter 5: Knowledge of the Past and Future
They have finally gotten into Starlight city, and Kedemonas leading them through showing them what everything was, a tour is what he called it.
"Excuse me Kedemonas," Spyro began.
"Yes" Kedemonas answered.
"Can you tell use what's going on."
"Yeah, you know with all this darkness and stuff." Azimuth added. Elpida threw him a nasty look.
"Of coarse," Kedemonas said, "Fallow me." He then led them to the center tower.
"This is our grand library." He said, as he led them through the door.
The inside of the tower looked a lot like the rest of the city, a lot of white, but it had a long black(it was probably black so you would be able to see it) staircase spiraling around the edge of the tower, connecting all the floor.
"This library contains all the knowledge recorded since the beginning of time." Kedemonas informed them."
"Wow, this place is beautiful." Cynder said in awe.
"Yeah, if you like books," Azimuth teased. Cynder then slapped him in the back of his head with her tail.
"Come on we need to get to the top." Kedemonas said as he started up the stairs.
"Aw, do we really have to walk all the way up there." Azimuth complained.
"Do you have a better way?" Cynder retorted. Azimuth hung his head slightly and began up the stairs as last in line.
"As you may know," Kedemonas started, "Malifore was imprisoned in a place called convexity."
"Yeah, so where are you going with this," Azimuth rushed. This resulted in Elpida slapping him in the back of the head.
Kedemonas ignored them and continued, "Well Malifore was not the only evil dragon the ancestors trapped in there, and Malifore was just the first to escape."
"Are you saying that there are more of them?" Spyro recapped.
"Yes Regis is another one from there."
"I'm sorry," Cynder said softly, "But who is Regis."
"You're from Warfang Aren't you." Kedemonas said.
"Yeah," Spyro said, "How did you know?"
"Warfang," Kedemonas began, "Is always the first to be attacked and the last to find out what is going on. Anyways, Regis is a power full dark dragon from long ago, the ancestors described him as 'The Stealer of Souls' do to his ability to create dark entities which-"
"Yeah we know what dark entities do they corrupt stuff and turn them evil." Azimuth interrupted, this time both Elpida and Cynder slapped in the back of his head.
By this time they had reached the top, which had a book pedestal in the center with a large old looking book on it, and there were many window between bookcases, but instead of being able to see outside there where stares in the windows.
"What's with the stars, it's not nighttime, is it?" Azimuth blurted out, Elpida slapped him again.
"Well," Kedemonas said mysteriously, ignoring Azimuth's rudeness, "Warfang uses prophe-"
"I didn't say I wanted a story." Azimuth interrupted, Cynder slapped him on the back of the head again this time it was harder, "Owe, what was that for." Cynder just shushed him.
"Warfang, as you know," Kedemonas started (again), "Uses prophecies written by the ancestors to predict the future. We people of Starlight city use stars and celestial alignments to write our prophecies."
"So why did you bring us here?" Spyro asked kindly.
"What why don't you, OWE," Azimuth started sounding confused, but then was cut of by Elpida slapping him again.
"I brought you up here because," Kedemonas began to explain, he paused and looked over at Azimuth to see if he was going to say anything, he didn't so Kedemonas continued, "The stars-"
"Okay enough with the, Owe" Azimuth began to interrupt, and Cynder slapped him again.
"The stars," Kedemonas began again, "Have been acting in a manner most unusually, so I thought that it must be time for a prophecy to be revealed regarding the Return of Regis. Then you four show up concerned about him, so I decided that I would allow you to come and here the prophecy." Kedemonas pause for a moment and then started to speak again, "I need all of you to move the glysums in front of the windows."
"The what?" Cynder asked quietly.
"The hourglasses," Elpida whispered.
They looked around and saw giant hour glasses sitting on one side of the room. The hourglasses, however, did not have any sand in them. Spyro, Cynder, Elpida, and Azimuth each took an hourglass and placed it directly in front of each window. Meanwhile, Kedemonas stood in front of the center book pedestal as if he were going to read from it, however, the pages in the book were blank.
Suddenly as the last hourglass beams of light shot from the windows, through the hourglasses and hit the center book, then words began to write themselves on the blank pages, and Kedemonas began to read (Cynder also rapped her tail around Azimuth's mouth so he couldn't talk.), "The Stealer of Souls has returned and the world is soon to be filled with despair, but four young dragons will kill him. However the Stealer of Souls will not fall alone, he will take a force of light away along with his darkness."
When Kedemonas finished reading the hourglasses somehow vanished and reappeared in the same spot the four dragons took them from. There was a long silence while they thought about what Kedemonas had just read. Elpida was the first to speak, "Is that saying I'm … that I'm going to …" she said sounding worried.
"I'm afraid so," Kedemonas unfortunately confirmed. Elpida just sat there and started crying.
After Cynder finally let him go, Azimuth walked over to try and comfort her.
"Don't worry, being doomed to die isn't all bad." He said.
"What is that suppose to mean," Elpida sobbed.
"I don't know, I just thought saying it would help," Azimuth said, "What I really wanted to say is that I'm not gonna let that happen, Okay. We are all going to get through this, and we will all come back alive." Elpida started to hug him and continued to cry into his shoulder.
