Chapter 9: Unexpected

Silver: And here we are with another chapter! Sorry it took so long to update, I've been quite busy with a few things.

Looks over at the sleeping forms of Spyro and Cynder.

Silver: Those two won't be joining us today. I'm updating pretty late.

Sees them snuggling together now. Silver takes out his phone and snaps a picture of the couple. Laughs to himself.

Silver: I'm so showing this to them when they wake up. (Just letting you guys know, Spyro and Cynder are only friends in my A.N. well...for now.) Well anyways, disclaimers!

Silver: I don't own any of the Spyro characters or story line, only my own OCs and story. And if you don't like it then just don't read it.

Silvus' POV:

So I woke up early this morning. Well, earlier than I usually get up. Maybe due to the fact that I went to bed pretty early. Hmm.. might as well head to the commissary for first meal. I wonder if Amelia knows if there is another name for first meal, well I'll have to ask her.

I should take walks in the morning, hopefully outside. Well after I change my color I guess I can go outside.

When I walked into the commissary there was only one dragon. Hadriel. His back was facing me, then he turned to face me.

"Ah Silvus, just the dragon I wanted to see." Hadriel said.

"What for Mister Hadriel?" I asked.

"Well young dragon, I would like to discuss your scale color." He replied.

"Yeah! I want to be green!" I said loudly.

"Interesting choice. Once we have gathered everyone then we will commence with the process." He said getting up from the table. "Wait here for your parents."

"Okay!" I chirped. I sat down at the table shortly after Hadriel left. I forgot to ask about first meal, well there's always later. Other dragon soon arrived. I waved to every single one that entered the room. They seemed to ignore me. I didn't know better so I thought that they didn't see me.

One dragon split away from the group of dragons coming in. He walked right up to me.

"Silvus, come with me." He said.

"You are a stranger." I replied. He gave me a very confused look.

"I'm Sev remember?" He said softly. Oh that guy.

"Okay! I come!" I said, following him out of the room. He led me to a place I've never been before in the Temple. "Where we are?" I asked.

"The place of meeting, Howl currently fetching your parents." He said. I tilted my head in confusion. He just ignored me after that. We just sat in silence, waiting for Hadriel and my parents to arrive.

I think I was making Sev nervous, probably because of huge grin that was plastered across my face. I continued to stare at him with a goofy grin, he breathed a sigh a relief as the others arrived in the room.

I turned towards the door to see Howl walking in, followed by my parents and Rose. Last came in Hadriel and Ameila.

"Why are there many dragons?" I questioned.

"We are the only dragons that know you by name Silvus." Answered Hadriel. "I don't want Howl and Sev confused about a green dragon showing up."

"You choose green?" Ameila said.

"Yep!" I chirped.

"Alright, everyone to the back of the room except for Silvus and Mason." Hadriel ordered.

Everyone followed his order and walked to the back. I looked back at them, mom gave me an encouraging smile, Amelia looked excited as always, and Rose just stared on.

"So what we do?" I asked.

"Mason I need you to stand across from Silvus." Hadriel said. Dad did what he asked and faced me. "Now raise your right paw." I unknowingly raised my left paw.

"Other one Silvus!" Amelia said. I put down my paw and raised the opposite.

"Now grasps each other's wrist." Hadriel ordered.

"What's a wrist?" I thought aloud. Dad tapped the base of his paw. We grabbed hold of esach other's wrist. Dad had to bend down a bit due to my size.

"Mikros Drakos." Hadriel said in a language I couldn't understand. He placed his paws on ours and spoke again. "Borei to chroma sas na reei mesa mou."

At those words, Hadriel began to glow slightly. It seemed to be a greyish color. Then I notice that I too was glowing, except I was glowing silver.

"Mechri na fygei." Hadriel said. I heard someone gasp, I looked down to see my color disappearing. It was a weird feeling, like water was flowing in my scales. "Kai ochi perissotero." Hadriel whispered softly. I gasped when I saw that my scales had absolutely no coloring to it. Even my green underbelly was gone. I looked expecting the same thing to be happening to my father, only it wasn't.

"Alla the echete kat pali chroma." Hadriel continued, his glow becoming brighter. Dad began to glow slightly at his strange words. "Chroma the reei apo to ena to allo." At that all three of us began to glow green.

"Etsi oste na boreite, neoi drakos, tha echoun to chroma mia fora agin." Once those last words were spoken, the glow began to glow so bright that all I could see was green. I felt the feeling of water following again, except this time it felt reversed.

When the glow finally died down my vision refocused, what I saw shocked me. In front of me was my dad except his normally green underbelly was completely white and so were his horns. I looked down at my own scales to find that they were completely green, including my underbelly. Solid green color. I looked at my claws and saw that they were no longer green but silver.

"Wow." Was all I could say before I collapsed on the ground, the room fading around me.

In this dreamless slumber, I began to hear voices as I fall back into the real world. These voices sound familiar but I just couldn't place it. Even though I was slightly awake, I couldn't bring myself open my eyes. So I did what I do best, eavesdrop.

"Will he be okay?" One of the voices asked.

"He will be fine Amelia, it only a spell." Said another voice.

"But why did he go unconscious?" The first voice said, which I guess was Amelia.

"He is young, though the spell was a success it still took a toll on his body." The second voice said. For a few moments the voices went silent. I was about to reveal myself but Amelia interrupted me.

"So dad." She started. So the second voice is Hadriel, wonder why I didn't figure that out sooner? "What do you think his element is?" Amelia asked, followed by silence.

"Hmm. Now that is the question." Hadriel said. "In theory, the spell I used to transfer part of Mason's scale color to Silvus', may or may not have had the side affect of transferring the element as well." I could have nature?

"Interesting theory, so you think he is a nature dragon?" Amelia asked.

"That is correct, what is your prediction?" Hadriel asked.

"Actually I already k-" She stopped. "How long have you been awake Silvus." She said. I snapped my eyes open in shock to see the two of them staring at me.

"I-" I started before I was interrupted by my dad entering the room. "Daddy!" I chirped happily, attempting to get up but failed.

"Be careful!" Amelia said. Moving to help me up. "Would you like to see what you look like?" She asked. I nodded my head quickly. Amelia helped me to my feet than led me over to a wall.

"Hadriel can you get Susan?" Dad asked.

"Of course Mason." Hadriel responded before walking out of the room.

"When can I see me?" I asked.

"As soon as your mother arrives." Amelia said.

"Why?" I asked.

"You'll see." She said.

"Why?"

"Because you have eyes."

"Why?"

"You were born with them."

"Why?"

"Because your parents h-" Amelia started.

"Susan I need you to active the reflector." Hadriel said walking into the room, interrupting Amelia. Following Hadriel was my mother.

"For what reason." She asked. Hadriel just gestured over to me. Mom smiled widely and walked over to me and hugged me. "I'm so glad you're okay."

"Why would I not?" I said. She let go of me and just smiled. Everyone else smiled in the room because of it.

"So." She started, ignoring my question. "You want to see what you look like?" She asked.

"Yes yes yes yes yes!" I said jumping up and down. She turned toward the closest wall. Confusion overcame me, I wondered what mom was going to do. I soon realized that there was a frame on the wall and next to it is a small hole. Mom walked over to it, and put her maw against the hole.

"Stand in front of the wall Silvus." My dad said. I obeyed. I looked to the right to see my mother spraying water into the hole. Suddenly I began to hear something that sounded like rushing water. I look back to the frame to see water trickling inside of the frame. Then the whole inside of the frame was filled with water. It somehow wasn't pouring out of the frame.

Slowly I began to see my reflection in the water. My eyes widened at the sight. My whole body was green, the same color as my dad. My little stubs on my head were my original color, along with my stubby claws. Something I never noticed was the color of my eyes; they were a deep amethyst color.

"I...I look..." I started. Out the corner of my eye I saw smiles begin to fade. I turned around, no one could rival my huge grin that was on my face. "AWESOME!" I finished

All their smiles reappear at once. I ran up to Hadriel. "Thank you! Thank you Mister Hadriel!" I said jumping in front of him. I ran to dad thanking him a bunch. Then I just ran around in circles in front of everyone. Eventually I became dizzy and fell over. I look up to see Hadriel approach me.

"Young dragon." He said as my vision cleared. "I need you to come with me." He said turning around and walking out of the room.

"Okay!" I said walking after him. I was oblivious to Rose following behind me.

Eventually we came into a wide room with the wind symbol carved into the floor. Hadriel turned to face me.

"Silvus, you are at the age were you have to make a choice." He started. "Your choice on how you should use your element."

"What are the options?" I asked twisting my head to the side.

"Using it for fighting, peace, or beauty." Hadriel said.

"I want to use it for fight!" I said happily. "What my element mister Hadriel." I asked.

"If you are to become my student, you are to call me Master Hadirel." He said.

"Okay Mis-Master Hadriel!" I said jumping around. "But what my element and Rose?" I asked.

"Rose will also train with you. As for your elements, you will discover them tomorrow." Hadriel said.

"Yay! I can't wait!" I yelled.

The morning was nothing special. Just me waking up early once again and exploring the places in the temple I haven't been to yet. Later I was to meet Hadriel at this training to discover my element. I haven't got a clue where it is though. Room after room I checked for Hadriel or at least someone that I knew.

Finally I spotted someone heading towards me. I soon came to realize that it was Amelia. I opened my mouth to say hello but she beat me to it.

"Come with me." She said walking right past me. I turned around and followed her.

"Wh-" I started.

"Training room." She said not allowing me to voice my question.

The rest of the walk was in complete silence. Probably because I overheard her and Hadriel talking when I woke up. I hear a grunt from Amelia proving my guess.

"We are here." She said opening the door. Inside waiting for me was Hadriel, Rose, my parents.

"Ah Silvus, we are about to begin." Hadriel greeting. I ran to Rose's side. In front of us was a green thingy.

"What is that Mister Hadriel." I asked. Instead of answering me, he gave me a stern gaze. I soon realized my mistake. "What is that Master Hadriel." I asked correcting myself.

"This here young dragon, is a spirit gem." Said Hadriel. "Only can be used by dragons. This specific spirit gem is used for restoring elemental energy or for this purpose, unlocking it." He finished.

"What we do then?" I asked.

"You place your paw on it." Hadriel said.

"You first Rose." I said. She reluctantly walked up to the spirit cluster and placed her paw on it. At first nothing happened, then a low noise was heard. It was very faint but it sounded like screaming. Instantly Rose stepped back from the gem and started to glow red. As quickly as it started, she stopped glowing.

"What was that?" She said. Voicing my own question. I looked over to see my parents faces, looking quite excited.

"That my young dragon, was the rare element of fear." Hadriel said. Rose looked down shamefully. "No need to feel down, this is an element not blessed upon many." At this she al least cracked a smile.

"My turn." I said, walking right up to the gem and place my paw on it.

For the first minute nothing happened, then I suddenly glowed bright silver for about five seconds before I started to glow light blue. The glow became brighter and brighter before I glowed silver once again. Then suddenly an auditable crack was heard. The crystal in front of me suddenly exploded and I was blasted backwards.

There were cries of fear coming from my parents as they ran over to me.

"Are you okay?" My mother asked frantically. Instead I smiled and laughed it off.

"What is my element." I asked. Instead of Hadriel asking, it was my father.

"My son, you are an ice dragon." Dad said with surprise.

Silver: BOOM didn't see that coming!

Spyro: Huh what? See what coming?

I looked over to see Spyro waking up.

Silver: Look at the last sentence.

His eyes widened in surprise.

Spyro: Whoa what! Silvus is an ice dragon!

Silver: Dude quiet down you're going to wake Cynder.

Spyro: Oh oops.

Silver: Anyways hoped you guys enjoyed the chapter, I'm sorry it took so long for me to update. School has been stressful lately so I haven't got much time to write these. Until next chapter!

Spyro: Shh!

Silver: Sorry!
