A War against another kind
Chapter 10
A/N Ok this is the chapter where I'm gonna explain the darkness and how it's effecting everyone and I'll work on relationships I'll try to get a bit of romance but don't get mad at me if it sucks cause this is gonna be my first real try at it. Once again send in the suggestions for Kirk stuff because I feel like just anger and calm for ice in kinda useless.
Chapter 10: There's two things in the air
Kirk and Glacia followed Volteer to his lab, nobody talked they were too anxious to find out what was up with the darkness. The only interaction anyone had during the walk was Glacia looked worried and Kirk gave her a reassuring glance, this gave her enough courage to go in. The trio got to Volteers lab and entered.
The first thing Kirk saw when he entered was Spyro and Cynder, to the left of the door waiting for them to come. The next thing was Terrador and Cyril farther in the room to the right. Spyro and Cynder both nodded toward Kirk and he nodded back and sat beside him then Glacia beside himself. Volteer turned around beside his work bench and said "As I said before, I've made an amazing discovery about the darkness". Volteer finished then grabbed a beaker full of some fluid and drank it; he suddenly looked more energetic and nowhere near as tired. "Sorry I've been up all night trying to figure this out". Volteer apologized. Terrador said "That's ok Volteer; just continue before you drop dead from exhaustion".
Volteer nodded and continued "The darkness has evolved somehow and is attacking your mind differently than before, unlike before where the darkness singularly attacks you they have now grown some sort of hive mind. They are attacking you as a team, that's why the small portion in Kirks blood corrupted him so easily." Spyro was the first to ask "That still doesn't explain how the darkness even entered his body". Volteer gulped and said "That's the disturbing part; the darkness has been tampered with to an extent that it is in the air". Everyone gasped. Cynder asked "How is that possible, the darkness must be physically injected or at best can corrupt from a short range" Volteer was unfazed "Yes I know but as I said it's turned airborne and so everyone is infected, but I have spent all night taking blood samples from my patients who have come to see me, and discovered that no one has a higher level of darkness, a certain amount enters your body and it just sits there waiting until your emotions allow it to affect you".
Nobody said a word; it was silent for awhile until Terrador finally broke the silence "Now that we understand that we need to talk about your vision last night" Spyro decided that he was gonna be the one who would explain it, so he began. He started with Ignitus which pleased the Guardians to know he was still alive, he then continued with telling them about this other dragon race that was supposedly coming back. The last thing he said was that whatever this new darkness was effecting there leader and were coming to destroy them all.
The Guardians all realized what the other race was, they all looked at each other and Cyril said "The other race is the Flightless Dragons; they were strange at least in the way they thought. Back before Malefor became evil the flightless dragons thought that normal dragons resented them for being different and even went so far to live in their own villages. In real life we didn't think them any different towards them. This might be why the leader was able to be corrupted so easily and the reason why his entire race is following him" The four younger dragons didn't seem to be worried and it was apparent when Kirk said "Why do we need to worry about them they can't fly, we have a huge advantage over them"
The Guardians expected this and Terrador was the one to answer "Yes that may be true, but they are for more technologically advanced then us, they created ways for them to fly they had zeppelins. They were also the architects of the cannons on the walls of Warfang and accidentally were the ones who created the blue prints for the war machines that attacked us a few days ago, but Malefor added a few touches to make them worse. But there most valuable advantage over us isn't technology, but there natural abilities. Yes they can't fly but to compensate their bodies have become much faster because the weight of their wings are gone, and their powers are naturally better than ours". Terrador finally finished and this time it all sunk in to the young dragons.
"So we got another big war on our hands because of Malefor, will he ever just go away" Spyro said with just a little anger in his voice. Cynder looked at him pulled his head to face her "it's ok we'll pull through this" after saying this Cynder leaned onto his shoulder and nuzzled him a little. "Thanks Cynder once again you know how to put me at ease". They both returned their attention to the Guardians and saw smiles on their faces "Ignitus always said you were the perfect pair" Terrador said. Spyro and Cynder both smiled Terrador grew more serious again then said "We need to meditate on this and figure out what were going to do, for now the day is free to four so enjoy yourselfs". The bowed and thanked them for the day off and left.
The four left the lab and stopped a little way from the door. "So now that we have the day off what do you want to do"? Cynder asked. Spyro said "Hey why don't we grab some food and have a picnic, it will also allow us to see how the world is changing since we came back". Everyone agreed, they all decided the best place to meet was at the front gate of the temple. Once again Spyro was chosen to get the food but Cynder tagged along, Kirk and Glacia said they would wait for them at the gate.
Kirk and Glacia walked down the hall, an awkward silence between them so Kirk tried to start a conversation "So what do you think about all of this"? Glacia kinda woke up like she zoned out and said "I don't know, like it's terrible but I've been thinking. What do I have to do with any of this why did the Chronicler call upon me too"? Kirk shrugged having no idea why himself. He changed the subject and thought it was a terrible one but it was all he could think of "So how you holding up, you know since the attack"? She stopped and looked like she zoned out again staring at the ground. Kirk saw this and regretted bringing it up but said "Glacia are you ok"? After he said that he saw a tear drop to the floor he really hated himself now; he got closer and gently took her chin and raised it.
She looked terrible and he couldn't bear seeing her like this, he wiped a tear away from her eye and said "I'm sorry for bringing it up, just please stop crying I don't want to see you hurt anymore. I know how hard it is to know that your family and friends die I was there too, but there is a silver lining to this you still have me. She was looking directly at him now and stopped crying, they were both staring into each other's eyes for a moment until they both moved closer to each other and kissed.
It was like time stopped and the whole mess going on in the world didn't exist, there was no tongue but it still felt amazing, they held the kiss until they needed to breathe. "Now Glacia remember I'll always be here for you I promise". Glacia nodded then laughed a little and pointed at Kirk and said "Haha you turned blush red"! she continued to laugh and Kirk looked at his paw and saw that he was in fact not his normal blood red but a light red blush colour. "Well that's interesting my colour can change depending on my emotion" he thought to himself. He focused on turning normal and he was back to blood red in a second.
Glacia finally stopped laughing and said "Oh man that was really funny but we got to go if we want to meet Spyro and Cynder in time" She started to walk and was so happy she lost focus and tripped over herself. Now it was Kirk's turn to laugh. Glacia said "Ok I deserved that". Kirk quickly stopped laughing and helped her up. She thanked him and they continued down the hall with their tail intertwined.
Ok there I finally got them together, I hate it when two characters that are obviously in love take so long to get together.(Except Ember and Spyro since most of the time Spyro is repulsed by Ember insaness) Also there was one trait that I was still trying to introduce for Glacia and I finally got it in she kinda a cluts don't ask me ask WeskerSlayer99 she was the mind behind this character I asked her to make one, I thought it added a bit of extra personality to her. So keep sending those reviews and suggestions and I'll read and consider them all. If you haven't guessed why the title is what it is it's because the darkness is in the air and love.
