A War against another Kind

Chapter 16

A/N Hey guys what's up. So the last chapter as I said was an intro to Demodius so this next one will probably be a little longer hopefully, remember I write mostly on the spot. To anyone who is reading all the way up to this point I thank you. Here we go.

Chapter 16: Escape! Sort of

Glacia was so sad that her tears were actually changing ice as they fell. "No-No-No this can't be I thought Cynder could protect him"! Glacia was almost ready to curl into a ball, Spyro was doing his best to comfort her but he was also completely in tears too. "I know how you feel; my Cynder is with him too". Glacia stopped crying for a moment and said "We need to do something, we can't just sit here a let them die". Spyro looked at her and said "remember what the Guardians said Glacia".

Half an hour earlier…

"Glacia, Spyro … we have some terrible news" Terrador said to Glacia. The Guardians had called Spyro and Glacia after the letter came. The two younger dragons both were silent, they moth seemed to know what the Guardians were about to say. "It seems that Kirk and Cynder have both been captured by a dragon named… Demodius". Volteer began. Glacia started to tear up, but Spyro started to get angry. "Guardians saw this pulled out a light crystal to stop him from going out of control. The crystal seemed to hurt him for a moment, and then he loosened up and changed back to normal.

Spyro shivered for a second and said "Sorry… go on". Still with very apparent anger in his voice. Terrador shuffled a moment and continued "Demodius was one of Malefors other project like Cynder, except he never had to be corrupted. He naturally wanted to be evil". Spyro just listened ready to kill him when this was over, while Glacia listened with bigger and bigger tears appearing from her eyes.

"Normally we wouldn't worry about Cynder and Kirk being captured but Demodius is especially dangerous. He revels in others misery, his powers are the perfect torture weapons, he even cut off his own tail to put a tear shaped blade at the end to show everyone how much he loves others misery". Glacia just got worse upon these words and ran away crying, Spyro got even angrier and started to walk away "You are not allowed to leave and we have Warfangs army ready to stop you if you try". Spyro didn't stop but went to Glacia room to help her.

Present time

Glacia was still sniffing and an occasional tear dripped from her face, Spyro was pacing back and forth "I can't believe they won't let us leave even when there's a possibility we could save them". Glacia was trying to write in her book but was constantly messing up from her trembling.

The rest of the day went on like this, Spyro and Glacia waiting for nothing in particular until they finally were going to sleep. Spyro was about to leave when he said "If you need me remember I'm just next door. Glacia didn't respond, she only nodded and went to sleep. It took her awhile but she was finally able to cry her elf to sleep.

The morning after Kirk and Cynder were captured

Kirk was screaming in terror as his hallucinations haunted him all night, Cynder felt terrible she couldn't due to the screaming and the fact she couldn't even help her friend. From the outside he looked fine except for green around his pupils. All night he bled from the two cuts Demodius had given him, by now they were basically healed but the three claw marks on his face were infected from the poison. If they didn't get help soon the scratch at the very least would scar.

Finally after the entire night of screaming Kirks eyes started to turn normal again. He looked exhausted from his constant movement, "Oh ancestors please tell me that's the real Cynder" Kirk pleaded. Cynder sighed from relief and replied "Yes your finally back in the real world, are you ok". Kirk was breathing and said between breaths "Ya… I think… gonna… be fine".

Suddenly Demodius walked into the tent and said "Well you stopped screaming, whatever it was getting boring not being the one causing the pain". He started walking around Kirk thinking of what he could do next. "Stop! Why are you only hurting him"? Demodius seemed pleased "Well I don't need to hurt you because you're hurting because you can't even help him". Cynder started to struggle out of her bonds and when she failed she tried to shoot acid at him and once again failed.

"Ha-ha! Don't even try, there's an enchantment placed on those bonds, you won't be able to do anything while you're still in them". Cynder was still pissed but sat down and said "Where were you when Malefor died"? Demodius scuffed and said "He sent me to kill as many towns with a portion of his army before his final plan was enacted, Oh I loved it there was this one village it was so small it burned like a torch, and then there was that one village that thought it could hide in that pitiful forest, oh and then…". Demodius was ranting when Kirk interrupted. "It was you who attacked and killed everyone I knew, you who killed my parent you're gonna pay for that"!

Demodius paused and for a second Kirk thought he didn't hear him when Demodius said "So someone did survive". He went right up to Kirk face and said "Isn't this ironic the one survivor of my attacks found his way back to ME"! He slid his claw acrossKirks chin and said "This will be fun, but later the suspense will make it so much better".

He turned to Cynder and started to ask "So how is your boy toy now probably happy you're gone, how could anyone love a murderer like you". He taunted but before Cynder could reply back he said "Too bad you didn't stick with me, I would have treated you right". Cynder was really angry now "You know as well as I do that we had nothing it was only because Malefor told us to". This was the first thing that actually got Demodius angry, he back handed Cynder and said "You are a liar, yes we were told to but we had a flame until that purple bastard stole you from me"!

Kirk was using this opportunity to see if he could do anything to escape. He noticed his claw could reach the key hole on his left paw; he started to pick it to try and escape before Demodius went too far. (If you know what I mean)

Demodius was still trying to convince Cynder "Come on you got to remember that one night, you know the night a few days Spyro stole you". He said in a more sensual voice. "You know that I wasn't interested in you"! Cynder was desperately trying to stop his advances. "Come on just one kiss and I'm sure you'll remember". He was about to kiss her when a claw poked his shoulder, he turned and saw a green fist heading straight for his face.

He flew out of the tent and Kirk said "She said no". He grabbed the key on the table and was able to unlock one cuff before Demodius came through to tent hole and tackled him through the other side. They both slid a few meters from the tent, when they stopped Demodius growled and said "You shouldn't have done that, now I'm going to make this extra painful". His tail wrapped around Kirk next and he stared to squeeze, the pressure around his neck was so strong he could feel his neck starting break but somehow every time he squeeze harder he kept it from breaking. Kirk was about to black out when his tail loosened and Demodius started to scream in pain; he took this to kick him away.

He saw Demodius land in between him and Cynder who was just outside the tent. There was a green liquid dripping from his back but it didn't seem to hurt him too much. As he got up he started to laugh "Cynder you know I've learned a few things since you left". Everything went completely dark as a cloud of shadow formed around all three of them. Cynder yelled from the other side "Don't think I can't see you in there I'm a shadow dragon too"! Demodius said back "Well then come get me"! He challenged.

Kirk then felt a punch to the face, then a dragon slither around him very fast and put him in a rear choke hold and suddenly he heard a slicing sound.

The darkness started to dissipate and when it cleared Demodius was behind Kirk holding him in a choke hold, Cynder was standing in front of Kirk. Kirk looked down as he felt a warm liquid going down his stomach, he was shocked to see a blade in his gut and the owner of the blade was Cynder. "Oh that's just too perfect friends attacking friends; I'll see you two later". He puffed into smoke and he was gone.

Kirk was trembling and starting to lose his balance, Cynder stood in shock as she finally realized that her tail had cut into Kirk instead. A tear broke from her eye "Oh no even when I'm good I still hurt innocent people" she thought.

Finally Kirk fell over on his back as blood really started to ooze from us stomach. Cynder had no idea what to do; she only started to cry over Kirks body. "What have I done"? Cynder said to herself.

Ya cliff hanger and *gasp* Kirk was skewered by Cynder; well you'll just have to wait for the next chapter. Once again send in those reviews, I especially want to know what you think of Demodius (Special thanks from Zach the Dragon for allowing me to use him). Well until next time.
