Chapter 9: A New Beginning
So, I saw the reviews of last chapter… and I honestly expected at least one more review. Only one review? Really? I'm not mad, but after going to Brisbane for a week, (Yes, an entire week) I expected one more review by the time I got back. Oh well, guess I will play some Destiny The Taken King AND DOOM 2016. (I spell the new DOOM with all caps, to symbolise that it's not the original Doom from 1993) Anyway, I'm pretty sure everyone guessed what was going on with the last chapter at the end.
As we all know, Winter is in love with David/Drago, and there's no changing it. And what I meant with that TV show-ish thing was that I was going to do more chapters after the story wraps up, and do medium sized chapters while doing chapters for my other stories. I'm actually going to take a break from making chapters for this story, (the trilogy will be known as The Red Dragon's Trilogy. Private message me if you like the name or not) so I can do chapters for my other stories, cause as we can see, more than half of them are one chapter, and pretty much all of those are prologues. Also, really excited for Skylanders Immaginators. (I think that's how you spell it) I can create my own Skylanders! Also, my sister sketched my OC Winter for me, and its head is a little bit too big. Also kind of looks devilish, if you know what I mean. Once I can get it onto Deviantart, I will tell you all. Also, I want to know if your old Xbox 360/PS3 Destiny characters transfer to Xbox One/PS4 Destiny The Taken King. Don't tell in reviews, just PM me. I kind of get lonely without everyone asking me questions. And I still promise that once the next chapter comes out, you all can use my OC's. Just ask for my permission if you want to, unless it's a cameo. If it is, just tell me. If you're going to use any of my OC's for a story as a main character, ask me. If it's just for one chapter as a cameo, like I said, just tell me.
Oh, and before I get into disclaimers, if you're going to ask me how many OC's are going to be in the trilogy, there will be at least ten (ten-ish?) OC's in the story. Maybe more, if I'm lazy enough to even try doing more. But if so, it will have to be for a sequel to the third story in the trilogy. (If I decide to do one. If so, I may as well do it on Deviantart. No point doing a fourth story here)
Disclaimer. I don't own Spyro. If I did, it would be a Quadrilogy. And I know just the name for a sequel to Dawn of The Dragon. (Possible hints to a possible fanfic)
Oh yeah, and an eye out for a DOOM story I'm making that will be called DOOM: Hell's Janitor, where Doomguy (as he's called by fans) will turned into a demon and will be forced to be a demon, if I get the patience to make a chapter for the story. It will be cool, cause its a three parter, and it has Doomguy, and it will have the Cyberdemon, and it will be a DOOM story. What else is to say? Anyway, let's get into this story right now, shall we? I'm pretty sure you're already up to reading the chapter by the time it takes for me to go from my notepad on my iPhone4 to google to to add the chapter on my story files on my account to posting it onto the story. Actually, I think you may be finished reading this instead. Whatever.
(David's POV)
I woke up laying on a soft surface. I realised that I was back in Warfang. 'Wait, if I'm here, then-' I heard a knock on the door, snapping me out of my thoughts. I got out of bed and walked to the door and opened it, revealing who was knocking. The first thing I saw was pretty much everyone.
"Drago. I'm glad you're awake." Winter said.
"Winter…" I started to say, but Terrador interrupted.
"Well done, young Drago. I will admit I didn't think you had it in you. The only ones that we thought could defeat Malefor was Spyro and Cynder, but I guess we were wrong." Terrador said.
"At least not all of us were thinking this."
Everyone turned to see who had spoken, and became too shocked for words. Right there, in front of them all, was Ignitus.
"Surprised to see me again?" Ignitus asked.
"Ignitus!" Spyro exclaimed, before rushing over to his former mentor, hugging him. (We can all agree that Spyro considers Ignitus to be his father, despite him not being his father, but you get the picture)
"I-I thought I lost you. I'm so glad you're alive!" Spyro exclaimed, almost on the verge of crying.
I just stood there, watching their reunion. That was, until someone noticed what I was doing.
"Drago… did you know about this?" Winter asked. Everyone looked at me in curiosity.
"The day after I had first arrived here in Warfang, after I had gone to sleep Ignitus contacted me in a dream." I explained. "He knew what my real name was, even though I didn't know how, until quite recently."
The Guardians were at a loss for words, especially Volteer. Ignitus had something to say, though. "Yes, but it doesn't come as much of a surprise since I'm the new Chronicler." Ignitus said. "However, I'm pretty sure you have something to say, young Drago."
He was correct; I did have something to say. Looking towards Winter, she did the same thing. I knew what to say. "Winter." I started. She just waited for me to continue. "From the moment I met you, I didn't really think about this until now. But I know that I have to tell you this. I…" I couldn't find the words.
Winter placed her wing over me, making me look up. Looking into her eyes gave me the strength to continue.
"I think… you're the most beautiful thing I've ever known." I said. "And I love you." I finished.
She looked at me with what seemed to be curiosity, at least to my point of view, but that changed when she spoke.
"Drago… I thought for a long time that you didn't feel the same way towards me as I did, but I didn't care. I love you as well, more than anything else."
I looked at her with caring eyes, and we knew that we were destined to be together.
"Well, I didn't expect you two to develop your feelings towards each other in that way, but I guess you can't force others to do what you want them to do." Cyril said. "So, I guess congratulations, pat on the back, and all that other rubbish. But I would suggest that you would pick someone else, Winter?"
"Dad, you can stop now." Winter said. "And no, I'm not changing my decision. I love Drago, and that's not changing, ok?"
Cyril asked no questions.
"Well, I guess you belong in Warfang now. And also…" Terrador said to me, before turning to Ignitus. "It's good to see you're still alive, Ignitus. But I'm guessing you're in no position to be the Guardian of Fire again?"
"No. I'm the Chronicler now, so someone will have to take my old place. And I think I know who to pick." Ignitus said.
"Really? Well, who is it?" Flame asked.
"I'm only thinking about it, young Flame, so don't think I have made up my mind yet." Ignitus replied. "I would say a few months may be suitable for me to choose if it should be who I think it should be."
"Ok, and while we can, I think Drago needs a tour of Warfang. I mean, he didn't get to see when he first came here." Flame said.
"Thanks, but I'll pass. I already know much about it. Besides, I need time with Winter. Ahem, without your bickering, of course." I said.
"Hey! I don't bicker at all!" Flame said.
"Then what was that you said about me at the temple, Flame?" Winter asked. "When you called me an ice-brain?" Everyone who didn't know gasped, especially Cyril.
"Flame! How could you!?" Cyril said.
"It wasn't me! I swear!"
"I'd like to challenge that! Winter knows the truth, and I know as well. There's no hiding it." I said.
"Ok, ok, I did say that. But I was teasing you two for being, you know, in love." Flame said.
"Our relationship hadn't started properly until now, smart-aleck." I said.
"Drago, do you want to see Warfang?" Winter asked.
"Alright." I said. We walked to the balcony looked at Warfang. It was beautiful; besides all the destruction and ruin, it was a beauty to behold. Nothing from my world came close to being just as incredible as Warfang.
"Drago." Winter said.
"Yeah?" I asked, looking towards Winter before she kissed me. I couldn't believe what was happening. She was kissing me! Eventually we stopped, and gazed into each other's eyes. Her green eyes were beautiful, so full of life.
"I really wish we can stay together forever. I love you too much." Winter said.
"I know. I feel the exact same as you." I said. "Well, let's get going." I turned to the others.
"I hope that you truly care about Winter." Terrador said. "Cyril wouldn't be happy if…"
"Yeah, I get the idea." I replied, turning to Cyril. "Would you mind if I spent some time with your daughter, Cyril?" I asked him.
Cyril nodded. "After what you have managed to do in these past few days, it's honestly understandable that you would want some time to yourself. And with Winter, of course."
"Thanks." I replied, walking to the balcony with Winter.
'What did I just do? I'm not truly a dragon, and still I care about her like she's my sister… even though they are nothing alike.' I thought. Then it hit me. I haven't even thought about my family for two days! 'Some child I am.' (Tell me; would you have thought about your family a whole lot more if you were in a world full of dragons, as a dragon, making friends with dragons?)
"What's on your mind, Drago?" Winter asked.
"I just realised that I haven't thought of my family since the day we prepared to leave for the temple." I answered. "I can't believe I've been gone for four days, yet I never left my family back home. I'm not used to such things."
Winter put her wing over me as we walked. "I'm sure you will see them one day, Drago. I know you will." She said.
"Thank you, Winter." I said.
We arrived at the balcony and looked out over the entire city. It was massive when I had first arrived, but that was on the ground. Near the top of Warfang's temple, it was larger than I remembered it to be.
"You know, I always thought our world was the only one that existed. Now, I think there's much more that we still don't know that are out there." Winter said.
"Yeah." I said. "It's amazing how there's still so much out there, but still out of our reach." I paused. "…but at least we know there are two worlds out there. Although I get the feeling that we haven't seen the full picture yet. As if there's still a piece of a puzzle missing. Do you think that's what's missing?" I asked Winter.
"Yeah, but, no matter what, I will always be there for you, Drago." Winter answered.
I smiled. "Thank you, Winter."
"Anytime." She said.
I looked at her. She was, simply put, beautiful. Her green eyes were incredible, as did the rest of her.
"What are you looking at?"
"N-nothing, nothing. I was admiring the view." I stammered, blushing a little, despite my blush being basically invisible on my red scales.
"You know what, Drago?"
I turned to Winter. "Yeah?"
"Do you want to go back to the others, or just back to, you know, your room?" Winter asked.
"I think we should stay out here for a little longer, then go back to them." I answered her.
Winter smiled. "Yeah."
I smiled even more, knowing that my life has changed forever. And now… I couldn't be any more happier. I had finally met Spyro and Cynder, been accepted as a dragon by my new friends, and finally found the love of my life. And now that Ignitus is back, Spyro is probably more than happy now as well. While my family back home are obviously worried about me, everything about this world simply changed my life, and if they knew what has happened here, they would be proud of me. I know it.
I can't be even more happy than I already am.
/Author's Note. (The author's note at the start of the chapter was made at the start of July) Sad news; my Xbox One broke. Good news; getting a new Xbox One! More sad news; I'm probably going to lose my awesome gameplay recordings of Overwatch and Halo 5: Guardians "Super Fiesta" game mode. :(. I can't believe that my Xbox broke when I literally played it the night before my mother's birthday on the 29th, then on her birthday, in the morning I go to play the Xbox, and it doesn't work. R.I.P awesome Xbox One. And what's worse? It was $600! Plus Halo 5: Guardians; special edition, Agent Locke controller, and 1T hard drive. And my Rainbow Six Siege game was in it when it broke. (It broke internally)
Now, off of this matter, and to why I didn't add another chapter for so long. Destiny: The Taken King got me stuck for quite some time, and DOOM 2016 had me LOVING IT! Then Halo 5 got its Warzone Firefight game mode out, and me and my team almost took down Warden Eternal with me going from level 4 reqs to level 8 reqs in a round by simply using a Mantis. A default Mantis. (0_0) Round 3 and 4 were the same bull**** objective on Urban; Protect the Forerunner core. I had almost no faith in one firefight match, where my team WON barely. And my mother was watching. YAY! Now onto different matters. I get lonely at times, so I would like some advice/conversations with you randoms. I'd really like it, and not necessarily on , but also on Deviantart. Specifically on gaming advice or just questions on my stories. Oh yeah, ignore that question about Destiny. It does! I went from level 24 to 40 in less than a week. Super fast grind FTW! Also Taken King missions give insane amounts of XP. Wow. Just… wow.
Now another thing, if I haven't said this yet; go check out Dothurnax. Between chapter 8 and 9 being released, I asked about his plans for the story; The Legend of Spyro: A Different Path. I told him he could use my OC for his story, and I managed to INSPIRE HIM TO CONTINUE MAKING THE STORY AND HIS OTHER STORY; Fallen Worlds. I can't believe it! I like his stories very much, and they aren't half bad. And by half bad, I mean, THEY ARE AMAZING! They're really well made, and at least at this moment I can't see any spelling issues. I make a few every once in a while, so yeah.
Last thing. I left a little hint at the part where they were talking about who was going to be the next Fire Guardian, and another at the end of this chapter to what's going to happen in the next chapter. I did forget about my OC's family until I remembered while making this chapter. :P.
Anyway, I'm the Firesword Dragon, and I will see you guys next time! Until the epilogue comes out, see you later! Also, happy birthday to my mother. P.s. A lot of random awesome stuff happened this week. And does anyone notice that every awesome game is coming out late October/early November? And is anyone more excited about Titanfall 2 than me? NOPE! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!11111
