Chapter 13
Disaster strikes
Spyro looked ahead and saw Starlight city, but it wasn't the same shining city the saw the other day, it had been devoured by darkness. Elpida flew ahead in tears mumbling to herself, "No, this can't happen."
"Elpida, wait," Spyro shouted, as he and Cynder raced to catch up with her. Elpida was too fast for them, and as soon as she entered the city she was covered by darkness.
After they got in the city, Spyro asked Cynder, "Did you see where Elpida went?"
Cynder shook her head then said, "We should split up we can cover more ground that way."
Spyro nodded and then said, "We should meet up at the tower in 20 minutes."
"Okay," Cynder agreed then they both ran of in opposite directions.
Spyro walked around cautiously, he called out Elpida's name several time, he never herd a response suddenly a dark creature jumped out at him; he froze it with his ice breath. Spyro kept wondering around for about 10 minutes. Then he bumped into another creature, "Spyro?" It sounded.
"Elpida, is that you?" Spyro returned.
"Yeah," She answered, she paused and then she said in tears, "Spyro I can't find them."
"Who's 'them?'" Spyro asked.
"Anyone," Elpida said.
"Elpida, calm down," Spyro ordered, "Is there anywhere someone can go in case something like this happened?"
"Well, there is one place," Elpida said starting to assuage her fears.
Elpida lead Spyro to a large metal door. She walked up to it, and put her paw on it before saying, "It's locked." Everything was quiet for a moment then she began to speak again, "But I can unlock it."
"Hurry up and do it before something finds us," Spyro said.
"Too late, look!"
Spyro looked over to where Elpida had started pointing, and saw three of strange dark creatures running towards them. Spyro said, "Get to work on unlocking that door I'll cover you."
Elpida nodded then placed her paw back on the door and started unlocking it with her light energy, as she did that Spyro prepared himself for a fight. One creature started running toward Spyro, who intercepted the attack by head butting it, which caused it to fly back wards into another creature. Spyro turned to notice the last of the dark creatures about to strike Elpida, he reacted quickly and through a burst of flames at it this stopped it mid-attack and directed its attention to Spyro.
"Elpida, are you almost done?" Spyro shouted as he used his earth powers to travel under ground and jump up in back of the creature.
"I'm getting close," Elpida yelled back as Spyro drove his horns into the back of the creature leaving it dead on the floor.
Spyro looked up and a look of shock fell across his face, and he said, "Uh, Elpida you might want to hurry up with that lock there's a least 20 more of those thing heading for us."
"I'm almost done." Elpida informed him.
When the dark creatures got close Spyro let loose with his fire breath ability waving his head back and forth to create a wall of fire. Suddenly, there was a loud click as the previously looked door flung open.
"I did it," Elpida stated, "Let's go!" Spyro and Elpida both ran inside and closed the door so no dark creatures could follow them.
The room was a lot bigger on the inside it even extended into two other rooms. Elpida and Spyro searched the rooms for any sign of anyone.
"Did you find anything?" Elpida asked.
"I'm sorry, no," Spyro answered. Elpida's eyes started to tear up again, but her sadness quickly turned to anger. She started towards the door mumbling, "I'm gonna kill him,"
Spyro, realizing what she was thinking, got between her and the door.
"Get out of my way, Spyro," She demanded.
"No, Elpida, you're not thinking right," Spyro returned, "You can't just fight him on your own."
"You're just like everyone else," Elpida complained, "You think I'm weak, I can't handle anything by myself. Just leave me alone."
Spyro, not moving from his position, said, "Elpida, I don't think that. You're not weak, but it isn't smart for any one of use to fight someone like Regis alone, not even Azimuth."
Elpida thought about what Spyro had just said then she calmly said, as Spyro watched the anger fad from her eyes, "You're right, we need to find Cynder."
"She should be in the center tower," Spyro said remember back to earlier.
"What are we gong to do about those things out side?" Elpida asked reminding Spyro of what he had completely for gotten.
"I'll handle them," Spyro said confidently. The next few minutes were spent figuring out how to get out and then getting into position for it.
"Are you ready, Elpida?" Spyro asked.
"Ready,"
"Open the door,"
Elpida did as Spyro asked and opened the door. As soon as it did Spyro brought up a wall of earth and used it to push the dark creatures back just enough so that he and Elpida could escape.
They flew to the center tower where they expected to find Cynder. As soon as they opened to door, there was Cynder sitting to one side of the room with her nose in a book, oblivious to her surroundings. Spyro walked over calmly and gave her a kiss on the cheek. She looked up and said, "Hi, Spyro, I thought we were going to meet up after 20 minutes,"
"We kinda ran into a few dark things," Spyro said.
"Oh, okay," Cynder responded.
"Wow, Cynder, you sound like you're in a good mood," Spyro said surprised, "I don't think I've ever seen you like this"
"It was a, uh, good book," Cynder said nervously almost as if she were hiding something.
