The next day Vengence would take to the skies to meet up with some of his old buddies from his fighting days as theres 4 other dragons one is silver and green his name is Tank another is blue with special markings whose name is Runic while the other 2 one is blood red and silver Azrael and the last one a female a yellow and black dragon her name is Serenity. While they fly over head they see multiple areas below loaded with smoke and destruction. As they land they can alot of dead dragons littering the streets when Serenity looks like shes about to be sick. This is horrible who would do such a horrible thing to these young dragons.
Runic looks at the carnage and then at Vengence. Whatever did this has no morrals or standards look at these corpses some are torn limb from limb while others are killed neatly with their heads missing but if you look closely what do you see about all of these dragons who were killed. Azrael looks at all of them seeing that none of the corpses were females when he looks back at the group. all these corpses were males there were no female corpses. Serenity shivers in fear. So whatever did this only wanted females but for what? Vengence looks at Serenity before speaking.
They were taken to be bred by the new Dark Master inorder to hatch a mass growing army that would die just for him to destroy the planet. Serenity looks at them. "Poor females being bred over and over just to give the Dark Master children who will fight for him. Thats just sickening he must be taken out before this happens to any more cities or villages". Vengence looks at Serenity."Thats why I came here to you all well be needing an army of our own to stop the dark masters forces heading towards the cities". The others nod as they all fly back to Mavros tower and land back into the meeting chambers as standing there is Flare as she speaks to them.
"Thank you all for coming. The pool of visions has showed me what has happened to 17 cities and villages across the land and by my eyes it is sickening seeing that as they have taken females of all ages and sizes to that monster just to be bred for his army. We'll need to brain storm ideas just to figure out a plan of attack to end this threat before the rest of the world dies leaving only enslaved females to that monster".
While they speak Cynder over hears them as she runs to the library as there sits Apocolytha and Excellion who are studying as she tells them what shes over heard as Excellion punches the table. The Chronicler wont be here for four weeks and Spyros forces are on the move gathering breedable females for his army. We must take this into our own claws and stop him otherwise we will be outnumbered. Excellion proclaims and slams shut the book as he exhales. " We need to train and grow stronger". They head to the training chambers as they begin to train for the 4 weeks.
While the trio begins to train Kataleena heads to the market to purchase some fresh ingrediants for the towers residance as she sniffs some of the ingrediants to make sure they're fresh enough to be healthy for them all to keep up their strength. While shes looking she sees some great chicken and hare meats and puchases them with added ingrediants garlic, onions, flour, and ginger with a few sticks of cinnimon. She smiles purchasing all that she needs and heads back to the tower to begin prepping meals. She writes down the weeks menu for the time being before starting to prep the food.
2/12 weeks later
Excellion looks at his brother and smiles knowing what hes about to do as he walks out of the bedroom shutting the door silently as he walks past Cynder's and his sister's room before heading to the front door. He takes off out of the tower heading for the well of souls to hopefully put a stop to the chaos thats been happening. While hes flying he passes over the destroyed cities Spyro's forces have hit seeing all the dead bodies and destroyed buildings littering the way. Excellion sighs " This is not good all those innocent civillians killed just for females". He shakes his head and flies faster his anger growing to the point that he is going to kill Spyro and throw the plan out the window.
Taking off to full speed he growls his eyes narrowed as he crash lands into the well of souls as a Dracolich charges straight at him. Excellion growls and charges as well as he spins his tail slices through the front two legs of the Dracolich and he charges straight for Spyro. Spyro growls and slams Excellion with his tail sending Excellion hurdling towards the wall as he crashes and falls slumped over as Spyro starts charging the convexity particles into a dark plasma breath he aims straight at Excellion when he fires it a blur of black and green gets in the way as the beam gets deflected sending it straight back at Spyro crashing him across the room as the smoke clears their stands Vengence as his scales are glowing with darkness as he speaks " Dark Nemesis" he roars as he stands protectively over Excellion.
Spyro roars back as the two clash going claw to fang as Excellion awakens watching the two clash as he looks around wanting to help his father but is scared he'll get in the way as he stood no chance against Spyro. While watching hoplessly between his father and spyro exchanging attacks. He sees blood splatter the floor as Spyros claws are dripping blood and Vengence looks at Spyro with eyes of pure hatred as one of his eyes has a slash going straight across it. Vengence roars he begins charging darkness as three skeletal dragons attack him from behind going for the wings. Spyro fires a dark particle beam straight at Vengence who is preocupied with the skeletal dragons blasting him out of the well of souls and to the bottom of the ravine Excellion screams seeing this happen to his father " NOOOOO! ".
He takes off out of the cave heading for the bottem of the ravine where his father landed with tears in his eyes he sees the once proud father of his unmoving at the bottem of the ravine as he starts nudging his father trying to awaken him as he sees his father isnt even breathing as he starts crying seeing his father has died. He sits there plucking off one scale from his father and flies off to notify his family of the events that has transpired. While hes flying the skies begin to darken blacking out the sun. The heavens roar with thunder and lightening streaks the sky as the heavens mourn causing the rain to fall. Excellion lands back at Mavros tower he runs straight for his Mother's chamber in the meeting room, he tells her what happened and hands her the scale a tradition passed among the Mavros family those that die will be remembered by their scale on the wall. She looks with tears in her eyes and rings a bell notifying every one to come to the sanctuary in the tower.
When every one meets they all stand as Flare speaks in a sad voice. "Everyone today we have suffered a great loss. My husband and the proud lord of Mavros tower has been slain by the Dark Master. He will be remembered in all of our hearts as we place his scale on the wall of memories to follow through with the past leaders who have fallen to protect those in need". Flare puts the scale on the wall and writes below it -Vengence K.I.A- as Apocolytha watches with tears in her eyes and hugging her younger brother Ragnarok. Excellion steps up to the pedestal and speaks in a voice full of sorrow and emptyness.
"Father we will miss you. You sacrificed your self to save me. I was stupid enough to try and challenge the Dark Master alone and you gave your life to save me ". He starts shedding tears one thing no one has ever seen him do. "Father your sacrifice will not be forgotten and we will remember all that you did to make us stronger and we will grow throughout the days in your name ". Flare releases a sad and mournfull roar as everyone follows suit as Flare uses her claws to write the date of birth and death upon the scale. While every one is dismissed Excellion heads to his room as Kataleena looks at Excellion then turns to head back to the kitchen as Apocolytha stops her and speaks. "Go talk to him he needs cheered up". Apocolytha heads to the library with Cynder. Kataleena slowly nods walks to Excellion's room, she knocks on his door and waits as he opens the door, she speaks in a soft kind voice." Are you ok Excellion..?"
Excellion looks at her and nods "I'm fine". Kataleena nods to him "I'm sorry for your loss he was a great leader and all we can do is hope the one who killed him is brought to justice". Excellion looks at her. "Your right thank you Kataleena". Kataleena smiles and looks at him. "All we can do now is keep moving forward with the memory of Vengence in our hearts and through that it will make us all stronger". Excellion looks and nods before standing up proudly " Your right, I can't just sit here moping around. I need to rise and grow stronger thank you so much Kataleena" he smiles and hugs her before taking off out of his room. Kataleena blushes a bit and heads back to the kitchen to make a memorial dinner for the fallen leader. Excellion heads to the training chambers to become stronger then ever. So the next time he faces Spyro he won't need someone to save him and so no more will die trying to protect him.
