Chapter 12: Gabriel
Silver: Well this chapter may or may not be as eventful as last chapter.
Spyro: You never know.
Silver: Anyways let's do the disclaimers.
Silver: I do not own any of the Spyro characters or story, only my own OCs and story line.
Spyro: And if you don't like the story then just don't read it.
Silvus' POV:
My senses came back to me as I felt the sun's warmth on my scales. I opened my eyes but closed them immediately and blinked a couple times to get rid of my drowsiness. I got up slowly and took a look around at where I was.
I seemed to be on a beach with waves coming from the ocean every now and then. Towards the land many trees were around but they weren't normal trees. Instead of the leaves being green they were pure white.
I turned back around towards the ocean to see the remnants of my iceberg. Memories of the black dragon attacking the village.
"Cynder..." I said the name bitterly. "I will have my revenge."
I looked up at the sky and noticed that the sun was not in the, but instead the moon was in the sky. It was as bright as day out yet the sun wasn't in the sky. Wait, looking inland there was a mountain and at the very top was a bright light. I then decided to move towards the mountain.
As I continued on the island kept on getting weirder and weirder. The grass was white, the trees are white, the rocks seemed that they were made of marble. I looked down at my feet and noticed that I happened to be walking on a path made of marble, headed straight for the mountain of light.
When I reached the base of the mountain and looked up. It was so tall, nearly a mile tall.
The one thing I didn't notice before was the huge entrance to the mountain. It looked a lot like the entrance to the temple at Windig.
Walking through it was pretty enchanting. Inside was a huge hallway leading through the center of the mountain. On either side there were statues of dragons wearing armor. Each had a different color as well as their own unique design and symbol. It appears there was sixteen statues...one for each element.
At the end of the hallway there was a statue wearing purple armor and on either side of there was a dragon with black armor and one with white armor. I walked up to it. It had much detail of a dragon that I did not recognize.
"How did you get here!" An old voice suddenly sounded.
I whirled around to see a pure white dragon. Everything was white up to his scales, wings, claws, horns...his horns were pointed straight back. He also had a small horn like thing at the bottom of his maw. His eyes were a bright yellow and bright like the sun, but staring disapprovingly at me.
"Well?" He asked forcefully.
"I...uh...floated here?" I said. He looked at me suspiciously.
"One does not simply float here." He said.
"Um..." I said, looking from left to right.
One my left was a statue with light blue armor and on my right was dark blue. An image of my mother being killed flashed through my mind. I looked down at the floor with sadness.
"No dragon but me and the other fourteen can find this island." He said, I looked up at him with tears in my eyes. "How did a nature dragon find this place?" He asked with little sympathy.
"I-I'm not a nature dragon." I said.
"Hmpf you aren't very good at lying." He said. "Leave...however you came here." He said turning back to where he came from.
"W-wait." I said, he turn and gave me a stern look. "Please I have nowhere to go, my home was destroyed."
"Liar!" He ran up to me. "No one is capable of doing such thing."
"Why won't you believe me." I said.
"Why won't you leave!" He yelled in my face.
I sudden broke down, tears were streaming down my face in front of the white dragon. The trauma of this and yesterday was too much for me.
"I-uh.." He said. I felt a paw on m shoulder, I looked up to see yellow eyes looking at me. "Forgive me for not believing you I was worried when someone that wasn't a Guardian arrived here." I wiped the tears from my face.
"I-it's okay I forgive you." I said.
"Now." He said standing up straight and looking down at me. "How did you get here?" He asked again.
"I floated here." I said. "After my village was destroyed." Looking down at the ground again.
"What village did you...live at." He asked.
"W-Windig." I said. His eyes widened slightly.
"Hadriel." He said under his breath. "Were there any survivors?" He asked.
"I don't know my mom sent me away on an iceberg before I saw her...her.." I said before I began to cry again I saw him open his mouth to speak before I interrupted. "The Wind Guardian Hadriel survived, he called to a Guardian assembly at Warfang." I said.
"What!" He yelled. "Why wasn't I informed of this!" He said walking around in circles. I tilted my head in confusion. "Forgive my manners little dragon, I am Gabriel the Guardian of Light." My jaw dropped in amazement. "And you are?" He asked.
"I am Silvus and my element is not nature but ice." I said.
"Strange." He said. "Tell me? Who attacked the village of wind?"
"I don't know." I said. "They were these creatures standing on two legs and there leader was a dragon."
"What kind of dragon?" He asked.
"A black dragon named Cynder with multiple elements...she killed my mother." I said close to crying once again. "I have no home and I guess I'll leave now." Turning around to leave.
"Wait." He said sighing. "You can stay here under one condition." I turned around. "You are to be my messenger."
"Why do you need a messenger?" I asked confused.
"I am prohibited from leaving this island for a reason I will explain in due time." He said. "But for now, this is your new home." He said.
I ran over to him and hugged his leg crying.
"Thank you Gabriel." I said.
He patted my back with his paw.
"Come." He said. "I will show you to your room." He said leading me away to a door at the end of the hall near the purple armored statue.
I looked around in awe from the vastness of this place. Then again it is inside a mountain. It was full of banners of a symbol, the symbol for light. Every now and then there were different elemental banners. Near the end of the hall was an ice banner.
"Here we are." He said. Next to the banner something shimmered, a doorway.
Gabriel pushed it open to let me inside. On the inside the walls were painted light blue just like the banner outside. Shelves of books was along the left wall and the right was cushions for beds. Each of the walls had ice banners and at the end wall was a huge window overlooking the island.
"How high are we." I asked.
"Very high." He said. "Get acquainted with your new home, I will seek you shortly to explain your conditions on staying." He said turning around and leaving to whatever place they went to.
I went to the bookshelf and took out one of the books and recognized it as the history of ice book I had back at Windig. I looked at the other book titles as well.
"Advance Moves, Ice Tactics, History of the Ice Guardians, Dante's Freezer, that's a lot of books." I said aloud.
Down farther was a white book called, History of the Shimmering Shores. Shimmering Shores, I wonder if that's the name of the island.
Looking out over the island from the window, I just now noticed that the whole island was white as snow and brighter than any light I've seen. I wonder what's providing all the light. Guess I'll just ask Gabriel.
Silver: Sorry for the short chapter, this was pretty much a filler from last chapter.
Spyro: Next chapter is going to be focusing on the Guardians.
Silver: Yep and certain other things too.
Cynder: Like?
Silver: Oh you'll see.
