Just a little FYI to anyone whose interested I extended chapter one so it's a little better.

No one cares they're reading chapter six now not chapter one.

Well just incase some one does.

Well just, on with the chapter.

That only works when I do it … On with the chapter.

Chapter 6

The Dragon of Despair

Elpida just kept crying on Azimuth's shoulder for what seemed like hours. When she finally stopped Kedemonas led them back down the stairs, about halfway down Azimuth said, "You guys keep going I, uh, think I forgot something."

"Very well, meet up with us outside." Kedemonas permitted.

"Okay, I will," Azimuth agreed as he started back up the stairs; however when Spyro, Cynder, Elpida, and Kedemonas got outside they noticed that Azimuth was already there waiting.

"What took you guys so long?" He asked rhetorically.

"How did you," Cynder began to ask but then thought better of it, "Ya know what, I don't want to know."

"I just-" Azimuth began.

"I Don't want to know." Cynder repeated.

"Fallow me." Kedemonas said, "We must head to the training grounds to pre pare you."

Just before they started moving, the ground started to shake.

"What's going on?" Cynder asked. Then there was a loud BANG. Then a small mole (coloration white like the rest of the City) came running up.

"Kedemonas, the city is under attack!" he said.

"Sound the alarm; let everyone know to prepare to defend the city." Kedemonas responded calmly, and then turned to the dragons "The four of you can come with me. We're going to see what's going on."

"Wait," Azimuth said, "What about training?"

"We don't train when the city is being attacked." Elpida informed him.

"What? Why not?" Azimuth asked.

Elpida just shook her head.

As they approached the main entrance, they saw outside there was a large black dragon.

"Is that… Regis?" Spyro said in awe of how terrifying the dragon was.

"Yes, that is Regis." Kedemonas answered. Then Regis began to speak his voice sound like it was a mash of different voices put to gather almost the same as Malifore's, "People of starlight city let down your walls our I will destroy your Pathetic city, and leave no remains."

"C'mon we can take 'im." Azimuth said eagerly.

"Azimuth are you crazy, we can fight that we'll be killed." Cynder argued.

"You must leave the city through here." Kedemonas said as he made a small hole in the wall just big enough for them to get out unnoticed.

"But the city needs our help." Azimuth protested.

"The city will be fine without you." Kedemonas assured him, they started to climb out through the hole, "After you've escaped, travel to White Isle, there the chronicler will be waiting for you."

The four of them got out and flew out a bit nothing noticed them because they were too busy attacking the city. Just before they were out of ear range they herd Kedemonas say, "May the ancestors look after you, may they look after us all."

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

After they had been flying for a few hours Spyro said, "The chronicler? The last time I saw him he told me to wait at White Isle while Gaul forced Cynder to free Malifore."

"Well that's wasn't very helpful." Azimuth chuckled.

"Well the last time I was there-" Elpida began. They all turned their heads to look at her in surprise, and Spyro said, "You were there?"

"Elpida, where haven't you been?" Azimuth asked rhetorically.

"I don't know I haven't been there yet." Elpida answered, "Well anyways, the last time I was there the chronicler told me that Spyro would be excited to see him again."

"I'm not sure that he understood what was going on the last time we spoke." Spyro said confused.

A little while later Cynder asked, "Azimuth, what made you think you could take on Regis like that?"

"I don't know, I guess I thought I could beat him 'cause I beat things bigger than him before."

"Like what, an overgrown bunny?" Cynder teased.

"No, actually-"

"I don't care," Cynder cut him off before Azimuth could finish his sentence. They spent the rest of their flight to White Isle in silence.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

When they finally got to White Isle they walked right in, and found themselves in the large room with the giant hourglass in the middle.

"That's weird," Spyro began, "The last time I was here-"

"Spyro I'm sure a lot has changed since you were last here." Elpida said. Then an old blue dragon walked in from the other side, and said, "Young dragons, I have been expecting you."

"IGNITUS," Spyro shouted excitedly tiers of joy starting to form in his eyes.

"Spyro, are you crying?" Azimuth asked, "Why are you crying, man"

Spyro paid no attention to Azimuth and said, "Ignitus, what happened, I thought you were dead?"

"So did I, but it turns out that the chronicler had other plans." Ignitus told Spyro.

"Wait," Elpida said, "You're not the chronicler?"

"AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW WHATS GOING ON RIGHT NOW," Azimuth blurted out.

Everyone just ignored him and Ignitus said, "I am, because after I guided Spyro and Cynder through the belt of fire the old chronicler took me here, and passed his job to me."

"Wow," Elpida said, "Azimuth, is there anything you want to say?"

"Yeah," Azimuth said quickly, "Why are we here?

"You are here," Ignitus started, "So you can be trained, so you will be ready to fight-"

"Elpida, you said we couldn't be trained while Starlight city was under attack." Azimuth said. Elpida just sighed and shook her head in disbelief. "What, what? What did I do?"

Ignitus then started talking again, "You will each be trained separately, but at the same time … we shall begin in the morning, but for now, we should all get some rest." Ignitus then led them to the rooms in which they would be sleeping in. They all went to sleep easily.

End Chapter

Okay after three hours of nonstop typing I finally finish.

It wasn't nonstop.

Well it would have been if no one distracted me. Anyways another little FYI the next four chapters will be all happening (story wise not real world publishing and stuff) simultaneously. I am not telling you the order that the training chapters are coming though.

I know it's-

Don't tell them they will have to find out themselves.

Just finish talking already.

Okay, have my next chapter up soon as I can, but till then…
