Disclaimers

Cynder: Silver does not own any Spyro characters or story line, but he does in fact own his own OCs and story.

Silver: And if you don't like the story than just don't read it.

Silvus' POV:

Islands, so many island. I was so thankful that all the islands I passed were under dragon control. If they weren't then I probably wouldn't have been able to make it to Dante's Freezer without being shot down.

Speaking of Dante's Freezer, it surely lives up to it's name. This place was colder than any of place I've been, but it is also the most desolate place I've ever been.

Everywhere was covered in snow and looking inland I saw just a wall of whiteness far off from me.

I was warned by Ignitus that Dante's Freezer was home to the fiercest blizzards in all of the Dragon Realms.

The beating of wings sounded behind me. I turned around to see my fire dragon companion.

"We best be moving on." He said as soon as we landed.

Estia and Anavo insisted that they send someone else with me. One of the fire dragons that escaped with us volunteered immediately. This drake was a least half of Ignitus' height and almost doubled mine. His horns are curved back almost exactly like Ignitus' horns. They were also orange along with his underbelly and he also had an orange crest along his sides.

He began to walk in front of me, right towards the huge blizzard.

"Whoa wait." I said aloud.

He stopped and turned his head to look at me.

"We're going that way?" I asked.

"This is the way to the village of Frieren and the Fortress of Eisen. I suggest you stay close to me." He said.

I did so. He stood still long enough for me walk beside him. His red scales began to glow slightly and heated up. I was close enough to feel the heat but far enough that our scales weren't touching.

Right as we walked through the wall of whiteness, all I could see was the faint red glow of the dragon next to me.

"What was your name again?" I asked over the wind. "Wasn't it Kat...no..wait it's Kafto!"

"Correct you are Silvus!" He yelled as he pulled me closer with his wing.

We continued walking, at one point we started to walk up a hill and the snow was getting deeper but thankfully our paws prevent us from sinking.

The wind was howling around but another howl cut through the air. One that didn't sound like the wind at all. It sounded unnatural.

"Drop!" Kafto yelled suddenly.

I dropped to the ground instantly. Kafto dropped beside me and covered me with a wing. He dropped the blanket of heat and the glow.

"What is it!" I whisper loudly.

"Quiet!" He whispered back and I shut my mouth.

Through the wind I could hear more howls and they were getting closer. So close I could start to hear footsteps, multiple footsteps. By the sound of it there was a whole pack of them.

I crawled forward ever so slightly and looked out from under Kafto's wing. All I saw were faint grey shapes only a few feet in front of us.

The only reason why they didn't come after us is because Kafto was covered in snow and he was covering me.

It was a full five minutes before the howls and footsteps finally faded away.

Kafto stood up and I followed. He reactivated his heat blanket and his glowing scales.

"What were those." I hissed in his ear.

"Those were Ghoul Hounds, one of three natives to Dante's Freezer." He said starting to walk forward once again.

"Who are the other two?" I asked.

Instead of yelling we walking closer so that our heads were right next to each other.

"Ice Snouts and Ghouls but they are also called Trolls, they are skeletal creatures that should not be trifled with." He said.

"Then why are their dragons here?" I asked as we trudged on.

"We have an alliance with them, we protect them from invasion and we get half control over the island." He responded. "Most of the dragons live inside of the village but most of the soldiers and the trolls live in the fortress. The Ice King has control over the Fortress and the Ice Guardian Cyril lives inside the village to represent the dragon control over this island and the islands going towards the mainland."

My six year old mind could barely process all this information, I couldn't even come up with a good response. So for the rest of the walk was in silence except for the howling wind.

After a good thirty minutes of continuous walking I finally got another question for Kafto.

"If dragons are allied with the trolls then why did we have to hide from the Ghoul Hounds?" I asked. "Wouldn't they be with the trolls?"

"Some of the Ghoul Hounds are tamed but most are wild and especially vicious during the blizzards, same goes for the Ices Snouts." He said.

"Oh….great." I responded with.

I would not want to live here. It's too cold and I wouldn't want to worry about this hounds on a day to day basis. The only reason I have for ever coming back here once I leave my message, is if I have another message to bring here.

Suddenly Kafto stopped me almost bumping right into his wing.

I was about to ask why we stopped when a voice cut through the air.

"Password!' A gruff voice asked.

"What is so high that a dragon can't even reach!" Kafto yelled back up.

"Password accepted!" The same voice answered back, followed by the groan of a door opening. "Welcome to Frieren!"

When we passed through the now visible gates the blizzard left us pretty much instantly. The color of both the gates and the outside walls was a light blue material.

The made street contained a row of houses that were made of stone brick and wood. At the end of the street was a large temple made out of the same material the walls were made out of. Instead of exploring the town we headed straight towards the temple, passing by several ice dragons along the way.

At the temple doors there were two dragons posted at either side, they both had light blue scales and armor to match.

"Halt!" They said blocking the door with their wings. "What business do you have here!"

"We come with a message for the Ice Guardian." Kafto said.

"Messenger eh? Find then you best be on your way, but I'll be escorting you." The guard said.

Kafto nodded.

We walked through the massive temple doors but not as big as the ones at Shimmering Shores.

Along the sides of the hall were all ice banners and the walls were made out of blue brick. At the end of the hall was another set of double doors, I half expected us to go through there but instead we went down a smaller half with several other doors. Probably rooms for dragons. We went up a set of stairs.

At the top was a small hallway and at the end of the hallway was a big blue door.

The guard went up to the door and knocked three times with a second after each knock.

"Enter." A voice full of nobility could be heard on the other side.

As the door opened a familiar looking Guardian can be seen on the other side.

Silver: Literally had no time this weekend to work on this chapter plus I had no ideas for it either.

Spyro: Excuses excuses.

Silver: You try writing!

Spyro: Haha can't type with my claws.

Silver: Whatever see everyone next time.

Spyro: Hehe see ya everyone.

Cynder: Bye!
