Chapter 12

Luna led Spyro and his friends through the woods until they came to a lightly wooded area. A winding path went smoothly into the forest ahead of them disappearing into the twilight forest. Luna stopped and looked ahead, she breathed deep and sighed. So much beauty she had never known. She turned to the group and said in a low voice as if not to break the peace, "My home is through these woods following this path. Please be quite there are many wyverns who nest here." Spyro opened his mouth to ask why she had chosen such a dangerous place to call home when Ember wrapped her tail around his mouth clamping it shut. She hissed to him, "Don't be a fool. If you talk you might wake what ever is nearby so shut up." The look she gave him deterred him from retorting and he sank into a huffy silence. The group followed the slightly glowing figure of Luna as she walked swiftly and quietly down the path. They walked for about an hour before they heard the sounds of life nearby.

Spyro heard them first, they sounded like slow tranquil breathing. He didn't want to fight anything so he staved off the urge to check for the obvious. The others heard them too but like him they didn't dare look to see. The wyvern had an immensely powerful toxic poison in their tail that could easily incapacitate a dragon in a matter of seconds. Bianca did not have any antidote to Wyvern venom and in less than a minute a dragon could be permanently paralyzed and in no fewer than five, dead. Luna finally came to a stop and turned to her guests and said to them, "Through here is my home and in here we need not worry about being overheard I have put up many wards of protection." She was standing in front of a cliff face, it looked solid and old. Spyro looked at her questioningly and asked, "What do you mean 'through here'?"

She smiled and whispered something into her paw. It began to glow a brilliant silver white. She placed her glowing paw onto the cliff face. Silver runes appeared on its surface, silver light so bright that everyone except Luna covered their eyes. In one bright flash an arch appeared in the cliffs surface. Luna walked through and after a second of apprehension her guests followed. Spyro felt his jaw fall open; the cavern in which he had entered was easily a mile high and looked over four hundred yards in length and width. It was a huge construction that was lit as brightly as twilight. Her 'house' was little more than a miniature palace. It had four floors and what looked like a sun window in the roof. Luna walked forward, the beauty of the cave adding to her own. Ember was just as shocked as everyone else at her home but was also the only one who saw where the light came from. There were bright gems set in the distant ceiling above, all of which glowed with a white light.

She looked in awe at the ceiling as Luna turned to look at her guests. She laughed with a melodious laugh that made everyone think of something beautiful; she laughed at the shocked looks on their faces and beckoned them to continue to follow her. Spyro walked numbly forward, trying to take everything in but it was impossible. Luna led them towards the front gates of her garden. Everything looked impossibly well made, wrought iron gates of an extremely intricate design, white marble walls, Spyro and his friends couldn't believe their eyes. The gates opened of their own accord as Luna approached them and she walked over to the beautifully carved front door. Upon entering the main hall Spyro soon realized that Luna was obviously on ordinary dragon. The whole hall was made of white marble. Luna looked at her guests and said, "I would appreciate it if you would kindly remove your weapons and armor, don't worry I am not going to hurt you."

Spyro alone was hesitant, (with good reason), and after a moment removed his armor and sword placing them on the ground. After seeing this, the others followed suit. Luna smiled and clapped her paws together and out of nowhere ten servants walked out of the walls and gathered together the armor and weapons and carried them upstairs. She looked at them and motioned for them to follow her into the dinning hall. They followed and sat down at the long mahogany table. After a large meal ranging from spiced rack of lamb to roast ox, they all slumped against the table with audible groans of satisfied discomfort. Luna said cheerfully, "Well it certainly is nice to have company at meals; I haven't had anyone visit me in years." She suddenly became serious as her eyes fell on Spyro; she stood and said directly to him, "Spyro I am sorry for what I caused you to do. I had never sung my song to another dragon so I had no Idea what it would do. I thought that you were just in love with me, I apologize."

Spyro shook his head and said, "You don't have to apologize but if it makes you feel better about what happened then I accept your apology." She nodded and motioned for her new friends to follow her into the lounge through a door on the left side of the hall as more of the strange servants cleared the table. She sat down in a large hi backed chair; she motioned for her friends to sit in the chairs around her. They sat and she asked, "So why are you walking towards the Shadow Forest? What could drive you to do something like that?" Spyro looked at her and slowly began to tell her what had happened to his family but left out the parts about who had done it and why. She nodded slowly in an understanding way. She looked at Spyro in a quizzical way and then suddenly stood up in alarm. Spyro leapt to his feet and looked around expecting to see Lethek or one of minions walking into the room but there was nothing.

He looked back at her and was surprised to see that she had drawn a long sword out from behind the chair and was now pointing it at him. He looked at her surprised and asked, "What are you doing? I haven't done anything to warrant this." She poked him with the sword and said in an entirely different voice, "Sit Down, I see a Dark Scar on your soul. You have sampled the power of Evil have you not?" Spyro looked outraged at this and said quite clearly, "No I haven't! How dare you even get that notion in your head that I had." He felt anger growing inside him but something was wrong; he couldn't master himself, his self-control seemed to be failing him. He shook in anger and growled in a menacing way, "What would you know about me?" Quite suddenly he realized he was no longer himself for he continued in a deep dark voice that was not his own, "But I could easily show you, you voluptuous silver beauty." Everyone looked at him shocked into silence and suddenly afraid; his scales darkened in color his eyes became a dark glowing amethyst purple and he looked at her with a lustful look.

Ember stood up suddenly and walked over to smack Spyro but she froze as Luna walked over to him. The silver light around her grew brighter as she reached forward a paw and said in ringing tones, "Spyro this is not who you are the darkness of any enemy has been scarred on your soul. Remember your quest and the reasons for your being here." She placed her paw on his chest and he screamed as all the emotion of his loss and the determination he had gained flooded into his mind and soon Spyro came to remember who he was but the Dark fought to remain in control.

Luna's appearance began to change, the silver light around her doubled in intensity. Her eyes became a brilliant silver soft as moonlight but sharp as steel was her stare. Her tail grew longer by about eight feet and became lithe and flexible. She became powerful and agile in her appearance. Finally her wings became wider and larger. She floated of the ground and said to Spyro in a haunting echoing voice, "Spyro your Soul is scarred but that scar is not what you are, Fight it and return to who you are, you are not this creature of evil." Spyro yelled one last time and finally he was himself the darkness of his soul had been brought under control and he fell to the floor. She looked at him and said in her echoing voice, "Rest now, you are yourself again." He looked painfully at her, it was impossible to look at her because of the light. He looked away and asked before he gave into exhaustion, "Who are you?" She looked at him and said,
"I am Lunaris, Goddess of the Moon."
