Chapter 7: Tragedy
Silver: And here we are with another chapter!
Spyro: About time.
Silver: Yeah sorry, it took me a while to get this one up.
Spyro: Well I don't keep track of time in your world.
Silver: So you can't even keep track of when it's night and day.
Spyro: You do know I'm joking right?
Silver: Yep which is why you're doing disclaimers...alone.
Spyro: Whatever.
Looks over at Cynder who is sleeping on the desk.

Spyro: Oh and if you don't like his story then just don't read it!
Silvus' POV:
Then another wind dragon, at least I think it's a wind dragon, ran up to the adults who were gathered around talking. I ran up to them and listened to what he had to say.
"Sir something happened!" He said franticly. He ran up to Hadriel. "The temple that the eggs were located at was attacked last night!" What?
Hadriel glanced over at me and then back to his conversation. "Howl, tell me everything that happened." He said placing a paw on his shoulder.
"I don't know much about what happened, all I know is...that..." He looked down. My parents and I were listening intently.
"Go on." Hadriel said, like he knew what happened.
"All I know is that...all the eggs were smashed." My mom gasped at that. Oh no. A wave of sadness washed over me.
"By whom was the temple attacked?" Asked Hadriel. I looked into his eyes and all I saw was sadness. Who would attack a temple full of eggs! The next generation, especially a batch of eggs with the Legendary Purple Dragon's egg in it. I guess I'll never seen a Purple Dragon.
"No one knows." Howl said.
"What of the four Guardians." Hadriel said.
"Three of them disappeared. Volteer the Electric Guardian was the one that made it back. The rest either they died in the attack or were captured." Howl said. They can't be dead, I mean they are the Guardians of the four main elements.
"Was the temple searched fully?" Surprisingly it was my dad who asked this.
"No one has been to the temple, we only got our information from Volteer." Howl said.
"Is Volteer here?" Hadriel asked.
"No he went out to find the other Guardians." He said.
"Howl I need you to get a team out to the temple, see if there is anything left over." He then turns to Sev who is surprisingly still here. "Sev, gather a search team. Find the other Guardians...and whoever is responsible for the attack." Both Dragons nodded and ran off.
"I want to help at the temple." My dad said.
"You have my permission, Mason." Hadriel looked my dad into his eyes and padded him on the shoulder. Then my dad followed Howl. Then the Guardian looked over at me, then at my mother. "You may reside in the temple for now."
"Thank you." My mother said. "Come on Silvus, Rose!" Rose ran over to us, followed by Amelia.
"Amelia? Could you take our guests to their room." Hadriel said. "I've got some business to attend to." He walked off in the same direction as Howl and my dad.
"Okay come on you three." Amelia said. Leading us inside the temple.
"How old are you Amelia?" My mom asked curiously.
"I'm four!" She said actively.
"Man, older than me by one year. Darn it." I said. She laughed at that. "What's your element?"
"Don't you know already. Make a left here." She said. The temple wasn't too big but was still very hard to navigate.
"You mean telepathy is an element?" I asked. She laughed loudly at that. Ok...ay she is very...um...I don't know how to descried it.
"Your element is Psion?" My mom asked. We turned right and we made it to a hallway with a lot of doors.
"I've only discovered it recently though, all I can do is read minds." She said.
"That's an extremely rare element. Who is your mother?" At this Amelia stopped and turned to look at us.
"I never knew my mother..." I looked down at the floor. Then she said something I did not expect. "Or my father." What but I thought-.
"I thought Hadriel was your father." My mother said. Rose wasn't saying a word at this.
"He is...he found me." She said.
"Your adopted aren't you." My mom said. What does that mean?
"I...I am. Hadriel took me in. I see him as my real father. Anyways here's your room!" She said excitingly. Man her mode changed fast.
Our room was near the end of the hall. We opened the door and walked in. There were many wind element banners. There was three beds...though I've never seen any before in my life. All of them were lightish red.
"Mine is just a few doors down! Come see me if you need anything." She said leaving the room. When she was on the hall she turned to look at us. "Nice meeting you all."
"Especially you." She said in my head.
Then she walked down the hall. That was wired...I wonder why she's like that.
"Hey mom, what does adopted mean." Rose asked, making me jump a little bit. I almost forgot she was there.
"It means to take in a child even though they aren't your own. Amelia has no parents, which is called an orphan. Hadriel took her in, so basically Hadriel is her father." She said. Well that makes sense to me, but why all the banners.
"Hey mom?" I said.
"Yes sweetheart?" She responded.
"Why are there so many wind banners?" I asked.
"This village is mostly consisted of wind dragons by the looks of it." She answered.
"What is the name of the village." I said, asking another question.
"The name of this village is Windig." She said. Wow, I guess that's why there are so many wind dragons.
"I think I'm gonna sleep now." Rose said.
"Okay, have a nice sleep. Well find out your element tomorrow sweetheart." Mom said.
I want to find out about Amelia. I mean she is my new friend.
"Hey mom, I'm going to explore the temple if that's alright with you." I asked.
"Go ahead, just don't get lost." She said.
"Okay!" I said before leaving.
I walked down the hall and found a door with the name Amelia written on it. But it was also opened so I decided to peak in. It was mostly pink...well..everything was pink. The bed, the banners. I also spotted some shiny green things that were shaped weirdly. But the pink dragoness that I was looking for was nowhere to be found.
A tap on my shoulder scared me right out of my scales. "Oh my gosh!" I yelled quietly. I turned around to see Amelia laughing so hard I thought she was going to die. "Don't do that!" I said angrily.
"Ok-ok-ok." She said. Then she just starting bursting out laughing again. I just rolled my eyes.
"What's so funny." I said.
"You are a very strange dragon Silvus." She said, still laughing her butt off.
"I could say the same about you, Amelia." I fired back.
"Ooooo someone's sassy." She said. What?
"Okay. Can you show me around the temple." I asked. She chuckled, then motioned me out the door. "You act like such an adult!"
She looked at me strangely and then gave me a toothy grin. "I can read people's minds. My mind developed more quickly." She said.
"But you're four! Be a four year old!" I said,
"I do act like one." She countered.
"Do not!"
"Do to!"
"Do not!"
"Do to!"
"Told you so!" She said smirking. I just stuck my tongue out at her. Why do she always have a smirk on her face. Hmmm..I wonder where the food is? "It's this way!" Amelia said running off in a direction. I just trudged after her.
"Amelia!" I yelled. "Wait for me!" She stopped and waited for me to run up to her, then we continued down the hallway. "If you act like an adult, then why are you adopted?" I asked. She laughed at that. You are creepy.
"I'm still a hatchling! So I'm going to act like one. I mean come on, who has seen a four year old act like an adult. I mean that would be reeeeaaallllllly weird!" Amelia really quickly.
"Why do you talk so fast?" I asked.
"Why do you ask so many questions?" She said with a deep voice. Then she just laughed as we turned the corner into a large room. There were many...um...things that raised the floor on the floor. On some of them was food and at many others were dragons.
"Their called tables." She said. Oh. She lead me to one of the empty tables. Many of the dragons turned to say hello to Amelia, and when they looked at me their eyes widened then looked away. Amelia took me to a table and we sat down across from each other. "You want to change you scale color?"
"How did you know?" I asked.
"Mind reader, but why." She asked. Oh right.
"I don't like adults when they have weird looks." I said. Might as well ask if it's possible. "Can I change my scale color? Your dad can do it. Guardians can do anything."
"My dad might be able to do it, but you should talk with your parents first." She said.
"Yeah! Good idea! I'm gonna go find mom!" I said jumping up and running to where we came from. I didn't realize that I just left my guide behind, so I just continued running.
"Stop."A voice said in my head.
I instantly stopped and turned around to see Amelia running up to me. "Learn not to run off!" She said. "You're gonna get yourself lost in here." I just followed her until we reached my family's room.
"Bye!" I said walking through the door. "Mom!" My mom was looking out the window.
"Yes Silvus?" She said, without looking at me. I walked up to my bed and jumped on it.
"Can I change my scale color?" At the she looked at me with a puzzled look.
"Why on earth would you want to do that." She asked staring at me blankly.
"I'm tired of everyone saying that they've never seen a silver dragon before." I said. Mom walked over to me and put a paw on my shoulder.
"You're special, sweetheart, but let's wait for dad so we can have a family discussion about." She said.
"Okay but I don't think you'll change my mind." I heard a scoff from Rose at my comment. "Goodnight." I said.
"Goodnight Silvus." Mom said kissing my forehead. I laid my head down on the soft thing on the bed, and closed my eyes falling asleep.
Silver: There's the end of that one.
Spyro: You seriously took a long time with this chapter.
Silver: Yeah, sorry to everyone that actually reads this story! Also to those that do read this, I've been wondering if I should change this story from a first person point of view to a three person point of view. It would be great to get some opinions about this!"
A yawn interrupts Silver. Then Cynder flies up from the bed in the corner, to the desk at the other side of the room.
Cynder: What did I miss?
Spyro: The entire chapter.
Cynder: Oh well. See ya next chapter!
