Chapter 15: Boyzitbig

Silver: Here I am again bringing you another chapter!

Silver: I apologize for the short chapter and the late update. My weekend was full of stuff and I didn't have any time to write a long chapter on the exact day I wanted this one out.

Akward Silence.

Silver: Yeah…...I'm alone right now. Spyro and Cynder went for a flight. (Mutters under his breath) Definitely making them do disclaimers for sixteen. Speaking of disclaimers.

Disclaimer

Silver: I don't not own any of the Spyro characters nor do I own the story, I do however own my OCs and storyline.

Silver: If you don't like the story then just don't read it.

Silver: Now on with the chapter.

Silvus' POV:

Gabriel allowed me to rest before I explained what I found. And boy oh boy it was a good one. No nightmares no nothing, just a nice rest. My nice bed of cushions was so much better than the hard stone of the temple.

But now I've been awakened from my slumber and currently explaining what occurred at the temple.

"Along both rows, eggs were shattered." I said quietly. "How many eggs were brought to the temple."

"I could not tell you that." Gabriel said. "For I do not know. Were there any surviving eggs?"

"There was." I started with a smile. "The purple dragon lives on." I said.

Gabriel couldn't help but crack a grin at that.

"Any others?" He asked.

My smile disappeared and I looked down at my paws. Just noticing the burn marks on them.

"I see." He started. "Now you hav-"

He stopped mid sentence and stared at my burnt paws.

"Fire does not make that kind of mark." He said and I looked up at him. "Only electricity."

He took my burnt hands in his paws and covered my right paw; the paw with the burn. He placed his right paw on top of the burn, causing me to wince slightly. When he retrieved his paw, the burn was completely healed.

"How-" I began but I cut myself off after he fixed me with an untrusting gaze.

"Another dragon survived the temple raid." He gasped quietly. "When I recognized the name I tried to tear out the page." I said looking down.

"Show me." He said.

I walked over to the corner to where my satchel lays. I took out the book and flipped to the one other page that does not have a tear in it. I winced half expecting me to have flashbacks again, but luckily I did not.

"Cynder..." He muttered. "The dragon that attacked your village."

He walked over to a shelf and returned the book to his place.

"Tell me Silvus." He started. "How big was Cynder?"

"Same size as you." I said meeting his eyes.

He raised his brow at that.

"If this is in fact the very same Cynder as the one in the book." He said. "The dragon eggs were due to hatch the very next day of the raid."

My eyes widened in realization.

"But that would mean-." I said.

"Yes, Cynder is three years old." He finished for me.

"But that isn't possible." I exclaimed.

"Young dragon, do not doubt the impossible." He said. "For what is impossible can be possible, but not in the right ways."

"But that would mean, that she is still a hatchling." I said with little sympathy in my voice. "A hatchling killed my mother!" I said with venom in my voice.

The old Guardian looked at me with sadness. Then he turned away.

"Now then." He said turning to face me. "You have completed your first mission. I have another for you but first you need a bit of training."

"What kind of training?" I asked slowly.

"You are an ice dragon yes?"

I nodded, still confused.

"You need to learn how to keep your body temperature low." He said.

"When do we start?" I said with excitement.

"Down the hall from your room is a training room." He said. "Meet me there shortly."

"Yes Master." I said bowing slightly.

"Good dragon."

As I watch the white statue of a dragon rise up from the floor I think about what my new mission is. Apparently I have to go report to the Guardian of fire, who is also the caretaker of the island Boyzitbig. An island that has a volcano that won't erupt for as long as a fire dragon is taking care of it.

The Fire Guardian is the leader of the Guardians. I got to report to him about the surviving eggs and I got to tell him that Gabriel has made me his new messenger.

Now we are going up to the outlook for me to learn about the Fire Guardian.

"He is a wise one." Gabriel started as I sat down opposite of him. "Likely the wisest of our order."

"His compassion and care for others is unending. This Guardian is one that knows what it means to be a leader."

"Strong, knowledgeable, caring. Brings peace for when there is chaos between other Guardians."

"Training to be a Guardian is not easy. There is much you have to let go of in order to become one. Ignitus, that is his name, gave up more than others." At this point his tone changed. "I knew Ignitus as a hatchling. His parents were both fire dragons and they best dragons I knew at the time. Ignitus never dreamed of being a Guardian growing up, he always wanted to start a family."

He stopped for a second to consider his next words.

"As a Guardian you cannot have a mate." Gabriel started. "He never consider becoming a Guardian until his best friend, who did want to become the Fire Guardian, died. His last wish was for him to fulfill his dream. Ignitus kept his word."

He stood up. "That about all you need to know about him, the rest you have to discover on your own. Unlike the dragon temple, Boyzitbig is a long flight. I will pack you more frouta before you leave. Now rest up young dragon, you have a long way to go."

He nudged me out the door.

"To gain my trust." He said under his breath, without me hearing.

When Gabriel said that Boyzitbig was a long flight, he wasn't lying. I had to fly over miles of forest and plains, then another few miles of flying over ocean. But I finally made it to the desolate island of Boyzitbig. And when I say desolate I mean it.

From where I was, no dragons were in site. When I flew around to the other side of the island, what I found was something I did not expect. An army of creatures I recognized as the same ones that destroyed my village and I saw a certain black dragoness flying away in the distance.

Silver: And there we have it the end of the chapter coming through with a cliffhanger. Once again I apologize for the slow updating and the shaky plot, I will stride to put more work into it. Anyways see ya next chapter, Spyro and Cynder will be back by then.
