Ch.4: The Anger of Alavar
After leaving the Chronicler's cave Sparx couldn't shake off the uneasy feeling of the white dragon's final words.
"Do not grow to close to him Sparx. For soon you and Spyro shall be enemies and it will be up to you to stop Malefor,"
The gold dragonfly shivered as those words pounded through his head as he followed Spyro outside. Only problem was that both Spyro and Sparx didn't know where the pillars to the Convexity could be.
"So where we go first?" asked Sparx.
" I don't know" Spyro admitted " but remember the first time when Cynder was evil?"
"How can I forget?" said Sparx " she nearly turned both of us into matchsticks,"
"Well I remember seeing some inscriptions on the walls of her old fortress" said Spyro " and I think that in order for the portal to work the last time see needed the Dragon Elder's energy because thier powers were closest to the powers of the Convexity,"
"Man you sound as bad as Volteer" said Sparx " in English please?"
"We have to go where the Dragon Elder's first learned of thier abilities" said Spyro " Cryil trained on Ice Dagger Ridge, let's go there first,"
"Alright walking thesaurus" said Sparx " lead the way,"
So Spyro did. The way to Ice Dagger Ridge would be long one from the White Isles, but all the duo had to do was take a shortcut through the Valley of Avalar and they would reach the icy region within a few hours.
Plans got complicated once they arrived in Avalar though. The whole valley was frozen. All the lush signs of fresh plant life had whithered and died because of Cyril's assualt. Sparx and Spyro's eyes widened in surprise when they witnessed this frozen tundra.
"Seems like Cyril's already been through here" said Spyro trying to shake off the horrifying sight " I wonder where General Prowlis and the others are,"
"Uh I don't know about you" said Sparx floating away in fear " but this place is giving me the creeps,"
A loud and angry growl suddenly split through the still air making both dragon and dragonfly jump in shock. But before they could turn around to see who had made the sound, two darts that appeared seemily from nowhere struck the duo making them fall to the ground unconious.
When Spyro and Sparx reawakened the gold dragonfly was trapped in a cage while Spyro had his wings bound and his body attached to a frozen pillar of ice. Within seconds Spyro and Sparx's attackers made themselves known. It was General Prowlis and the other citizens of Avalar. The human-sized cats did not look happy at the sight of thier intruders.
"For dragons who used to be our allies" said Prowlis " you have caused great destruction. You just didn't want Malefor to get in the way so your kind could take over the world themselves,"
" That's not true" said Spyro " Malefor infected the Dragon Elders with a virus that turned them into his slaves and kidnapped Cynder. You must let us go so that the Lunar Dragon can put a stop to this war,"
" I agree" came a voice making everyone turn to see it was Hunter " the Lunar Dragon must be informed. For if already both the Dragon Temple and Avalar have fallen there's no doubt the other islands will fall as well. Even you must admit that this is true General Prowlis,"
"Yes" said Prowlis " I admit that is true. Release them,"
Soon the prison's holding Sparx and Spyro were broken and the two of them were free, but Prowlis would not so easily give up without a fight.
" To make ammends to our Valley you must destroy the dragon who guards one of the pillars to the Covexity and restore the damage he has done" said Prowlis " I will show you the fastest way to Ice Dagger Ridge, but betray my trust and you shall pay the price,"
With that said the distrusting cat leader guided Spyro and Sparx up to Ice Dagger Ridge where the untold battle with Cyril was about to take place.
