Spyro's POV
The earth dragon climbed out of the pile of smashed pots. Growling he charged at us knocking everything out of the way as he lowered his head, horns pointed right at us. I jumped to the right to dodge the charge as Brian jumped onto the wall before using it to jump behind his opponent.
Using his wings to boost himself, Brian tackled the earth dragon from behind crashing through the door and into the hallway. Terrador and the others came running to find out who was fighting. Brian and the earth dragon fought trying to pin the other down. The earth dragon was heavier and stronger, But Brian put his military training and experience in battle against his untrained foe.
Eventually Brian gained the upper hand and pinned his opponent to the floor, but refused to go for the exposed neck. Sparing his attacker's life.
Brian's POV
The earth dragon started to thrash about trying to break free, In response I jabbed at his shoulder blade with my claw Not enough to cause injury but enough to cause a lot of pain. The pain necessary to cause the earth dragon to submit.
"Kill him, Kill him now. If you spare him his pathetic life he won't stop until you die." Malefor's voice spoke in my head. I saw a mental image of myself killing the earth dragon, then going for Spyro, Cynder, and the others. I know that Malefor is trying to influence my choice. Something I will not allow.
"Never," I replied, "I'll never kill someone for pleasure, mine, or anyone else's."
"Ah, But you do kill human." Malefor continued," I can see it in your memories. Hmm, Your memories are so clear of you killing your kind with such discipline, skill and oh!" he paused for a moment. "Satisfaction" Malefor finished.
"Your one to talk!" I snapped, I know he succeeded in what he set out to do, make me want to kill. Kill him that is. "Who is responsible for a thousand years of grief and fear? And who sent his minions to slaughter an entire city's worth of helpless eggs? Who raised himself from the dead and placed all of the realm on the edge of apocalypse? And why did you do all of this?
Lust, Your lust for power, lust for dominance, or maybe just all out lust for killing and torturing innocent lives.
You have no place to tell me how horrible I am for killing!" I shouted
"Brian! Please! Stop!" Cynder pleaded, I didn't know how I could calm down, I know that If I can't stop myself now I'm gonna kill somebody. So I launched myself at the wall headfirst. knocking myself out, and saving everyone's life.
Spyro's POV
"Brian!" Amber yelled as she ran over to his unconscious body. I don't know if Brian knew it or not but we heard every word of Malefor's argument. We were all worried about him, The dark master has entered his mind, and would of took over his body if he didn't knock himself out. Even if only to delay Malefor.
"Poor Brian," Dixon mumbled, "Why do you always try to take the bullet for the team?"
Brian's Subconsciousness
"MALEFOR!" I was going to kill him, but all I found was the empty void of my own mind. I cussed at myself, I don't know how he did it. But it was true.
Malefor has somehow escaped my mind. He was on the loose. And only I knew it.
What have I done?
Sorry that it's only 600 words internet was down and Ive had a busy week.
Agian, I'm Sorry
