Nowe was disappointed that Malefor escaped, and the battle with the heartless has only begun. Still there were some good things that came out of the battle, Nowe was able to try out his new combination, and he came up with this idea through Spyro, and his 4 elemental breaths. Spyro was able to use different elements and so could Nowe, but Nowe was limited to only using one at a time per Keyblade. So if he summoned multiple at a time he could use as many elements as he wanted but it drains mana. So Nowe need to get stronger to use that combination again.
Still his idea was a success, but next time he will be stronger to the point where he could summon more than 4 keyblades at time. Nowe was feeling really weak and could barely hold himself up. He used to much man, especially using final form with more than two keyblades, this puts so much stress on his body. Nowe looked at his kingdom key and thought about how far he came since the day he started his training. He made a lot of friends since then, but he still had a lot of training to do. But his keyblade is an amazing weapon but it has it faults, people with keyblades are hunted by the heartless, and the heartless will keep coming until they devour his heart and everyone else's.
Nowe was lost in thought as he forgot everyone else was still there, they all looked at Nowe with awe after his fight with Malefor. Terrador, and the other guardians were especially amazed after seeing Nowe using multiple elements. Nowe was like Malefor, and Spyro, not limited by one element, and after this performance they wonder what else Nowe could do. Nowe made his keyblade disappear, and as he did he began to feel a little dizzy and weak. He closed his eyes slowly trying to start wake but he couldn't he fell to the ground. Nowe just fainted in front of everyone. They all surrounded Nowe, and they notice the wound on his side from Malefor's attack.
Nowe was starting to bleed again, before it was patched but Malefor's attack was stopping him from healing. If Terrador didn't act so Nowe would bleed out. So he did the first thing to mind, he tried to cover the wound, but he need to get to a healer.
Nowe pushed himself to much, and the wound he has doesn't help. Nowe was slowly bleeding out, and the others had to do something before it was too late. As Terrador was about to fly off and find a healer in the city but then a huge ray of light appeared in front of them.
As the light died down, there stood Ignitus.
" Ignitus how…" Terrador didn't have the right words to say. His friend who died in the flame is here standing in front of them.
" I'm happy to see you too Terrador but this is not the time, here place Nowe on the ground" said Ignitus. Ignitus knew it was not his place to butt in because he was not allowed to interfere with what happens. But he had not choice if he didn't there wasn't going to be a future to record in the books.
" I'm happy to see you all but this isn't the time to get reacquainted, here lay Nowe down on the ground" said Ignitus. Ignitus knew it was not his place to change history, but this was a special circumstance.
Ignitus was the new Chronicler, and his job did not alway him to interfere with the making of history but he had no choice in the situation, as he was give his job, he could only interfere once, and only once, after that he was to stay in the library for the rest of eternity until it was time for Ignitus to chosen the new chronicler.
Ignitus was carrying an elixir , and he gave it to Nowe as it helped his mana and wounds but he was still unconscious. Ignitus had to craft one as fast as he could but it was all over now because they could all rest now.
Ignitus was truly happy that Nowe was ok, but as he turned around he saw Spyro with tear slowly falling down his face. Ignitus didn't know what to say to him, so much happened and he couldn't explain it all with the time he has. Mainly he was happy to see his son in front of him, even tho Spyro doesn't know that ignitus was his father. But this wasn't the time to tell him, but the time to tell him died a long time ago, and now it's too late. If he told Spyro then how could he just leave.
" Spyro, I'm sorry I can't sta…". Ignitus stopped when he found Spyro hugging him. Ignitus just stood there wrapping his arms around him. He knew that his death was hard for Spyro, and as he read through Spyro's book he found it hard not to cry. He stopped reading after he found out about his childhood. He wanted to finish the book but he couldn't it was too hard for him. Ignitus chose not to finish the book, but he still wrote in it.
Ignitus didn't have to read it because he already knew everything he need to know about his son. He knew it was his fault that he abandoned Spyro, and failed everyone. He already knew about Spyro's life as a firefly, and he was happy he had a nice family to take care of him. With Ignitus being the chronicler, he had a lot of time to think. At times when he sees Spyro's book, he couldn't help but let tears fall. He regret all the pain he cause him and he wish he could see him grow up. He thought about how he must Spyro's first words, or every moment they could of shared together but he threw it all away. He failed him and every egg that would have been hatched, he failed his duty as a guardian
In the distance, Nowe was starting to wake up, and as he did he found Spyro and Ignitus hugging. " Ah my head, what the heck happened". As he said it he opened his eyes and saw Ignitus and Spyro hugging. Also he was back into his human form again.
" Ok I'm pretty sure I'm dead now" said sarcastically Nowe.
" You're not dead Ignitus came here and saved you, and just in time too" said Terrador.
" Well thanks Ignitus, and Terrador I was just making a joke, well looks likes Spyro and Ignitus are finally reunited, It's nice Spyro gets to see his fat..." said Nowe as he was stopped with Terradow cover his mouth with his paw. As he dragged him off behind a tree to talk as Ignitus, and the others could catch up.
" What the heck Terrador, if you wanted me to stop talking you could've just said so, and what did I say wrong" said Nowe.
" You didn't say anything wrong yet, Spyro doesn't know that Ignitus is his father" said Terrador. Nowe was just finding this out now, and he has a feeling he need to talk to Ignitus real quick.
" Well I need to go have a talk with Ignitus" said Nowe before he walked away, and as he was talking to Spyro he grabbed him by his arms " Ignitus you and I are going to have a talk". As he said it, he sees that Spyro was still there. " Ahh Spyro you think I could borrow him really quick".
Spyro didn't know what to say, and he notice he was in his human form. He forgot how short Nowe really looked in his human form compared to him and the others. Spyro nodded and said " On one condition you owe Cynder and I some ice cream tomorrow deal".
Nowe laughed a little and agree as he dragged Ignitus to some random place where they couldn't hear them talk.
Terrador walked up to Cyril, and Volteer as they laughed as Nowe dragged him away.
" Well Nowe knows about Ignitus's secret, so how bad do you think this will end" said Terrador. He was about to help his friend but he thought it was more funny to see what would happen. Also he didn't want to get in the kids way because if he did he wasn't sure if he was going to survive the rage he has when he told him about the secret Ignitus was hiding.
" Well it looks like our friend isn't going to get out of this one, but Nowe hopefully isn't going to do anything drastic" said Cyril.
Nowe finally let go of Ignitus and was ready to start yell or worse.
" Ok Nowe before you do anything let me explain" said Ignitus. He wanted to be careful with what he said next.
" You got 2 mins to explain or else" said Nowe. Nowe wasn't going to hurt him, but he wanted to know how Spyro doesn't know.
( 2 mins later )
Ignitus explain the whole thing as fast as he could because other than being a little terrified about what his human friend would do next, but he wanted to talk to Spyro about things.
" Wait Spyro thought he was a dragonfly" said Nowe. Nowe was going to laugh but he keep it as long as he could before he died of laughter. " Ignitus thanks for telling me, but you are going to have to tell him soon". Nowe didn't have a choice in the matter it wasn't his decision to tell Spyro or not so all he could do was give him some time.
" Wait so you're telling me that Spyro thought he was a dragonfly" asked Nowe. he tried his best not to laugh about it and be a little serious but that's one of the most funniest things he has ever heard, like did he really ever question the size difference. " Well Ignitus thanks for telling me that but you should really tell him at some point, he has the right to know who his birth parents are". Nowe had to trust ignitus and give him time but Spyro did have the right to know because it's hard not knowing who your real parents are. Secretly Nowe has always wondered what happened to his father, and wish he knew where he was. This was one of the reasons he wanted to travel the worlds the chance to know who his birth father was.
Ignitus and Nowe started to walk back to others as he started to laugh. Nowe couldn't hold it in any longer it was a little funny now knowing that Spyro thought he was a dragonfly.
As they got back Spyro walked up to them and asked them what they talked about. Nowe just told him that they were talking about random thing that he wanted to know. It got Spyro to stop asking questions, well at least for now.
" Nowe I'm happy you're ok" said Spyro.
" Me too, Nowe if you died it would be much more boring around here" said Cynder.
" Well Malefor is going to be hard to defeat now but we have each other. Well anyway I'm going to tell the kid the good news about his village, I'm going to tell him the people of his village is fine" said Nowe.
" How are you going to get there without your wings" said Cyril.
" Well there is two ways I can get there but I rather get there fast so here is one way Keyblade wielders get to places" said Nowe.
Nowe summoned his keyblade and he threw into the air , and it changed into his glider. Everyone was amazed as Nowe ran and jumped on to his glider. He started to blast through the skies hoping to get to dragon city soon. He remember something, he wondered how Saber was doing it's been awhile since he summoned him. He remember their pact, but Nowe can't stop thinking about what he said before. Was he really the last of his world? Nowe just shook it off as he flew away on his glider.
He saw the kid sitting on the roof of the temple as he watches the stars. Nowe landed near him, as he jumped from his glider landing on the roof.
" Who the heck are you" said the kid.
" Wait you don't remember me, wait I'm human again, it's me Nowe. The Guy you yelled at to save your village form the heartless attack" said Nowe. The kid was surprised, but he was waiting for the answer of the fate of his village. " Relax The people of your village is fine, they are all traveling here right now, and they have you to thank for that".
He looked at Nowe with a confused look on his face. " What did I do?". Nowe was chuckled at his response.
" If it wasn't for you who warned us about it, then your village wouldn't be here so they have you to thanks". Nowe wanted to make him feel better, because being on the sidelines isn't funny, not in this situation. " Anyway I forgot to ask what is your name anyway".
" Well you and your friends did most of it, so they have you to thank too, and my name is Quake". Quake was a nice name, and Nowe liked it. Well the battle isn't over yet, but adleast he has a new friend. Quake had this smile on his face that Nowe didn't notice until now.
As time went on, Quake's village came to Dragon City the next day. They were very tired but they had a smile on their face as if they had a glimpse of hope in their eyes. Spyro and the others were with them, and so was Ignitus. Quake ran out of the temple door, and with the biggest smile on his face with tears falling down his face with relief. Two earth dragons ran through the crowd, and Quake jumped into their arms. The two parents held their child close as they were crying their eyes out knowing their son is ok.
Nowe watches the reunion, and he still saw Ignitus with the other. They never even noticed that Nowe was sitting on the roof of the temple watching, it was a little funny. Nowe drew his sword, and looked at it for a moment. If he master the combination technique from last night maybe he would be able to defeat Malefor again. But for today he was going to celebrate with everyone.
So he stood up to where people could see him and as he did someone of the village notice, and started pointing. Everyone's eyes were on Nowe as he took a step forward, and jumped down. He felted the wind in his face as he jumped, and when he landed on the ground he walked if like it was nothing because it was. He was use to jumping from high places, and his legs just got use to the feel each time he jumped off high places.
He was happy he did it too because the look on everyone's face was worth it. They were freaking out, and now they as amazed that he could jump off something that height without using wings or something.
When Spyro and Cynder saw Nowe they ran up to him and started to yell, but Ignitus stopped them in time.
" You're completely insane you know that right" said Cyril.
Nowe didn't care because he might as well be, he travels worlds, and fight evil monster that are trying to plunge the world in complete darkness. If he started to tell more people that they would think he should be locked up for his own safety.
" Yeah you could say that" said Nowe. " Anyway how was the trip anything interesting happen without me there". He was staring at Ignitus hoping he told Spyro yet.
" Nothing happened Nowe" Said Ignitus. He was going to tell Spyro when the time is right, because right now there is a war throughout the worlds. But he knew Nowe was right he did have to tell him eventually.
As Nowe and Ignitus were talking the leader of the village walked up to them. He was a Fire dragon, and he was old with holes in his wings like the other guardians. He got on his knee, and said " Thanks for saving our village, we are honored to be in the presence of the great Keyblade Master, and the Chronicler".
Then as he said it everyone from the village did the same then and got on their knees and bowed their heads to them. They said the same thing their leader said too.
Nowe and Ignitus didn't know how to react to this and Nowe was the first to move. He walked up to the leader, and grabbed his arm and pulled him up gently. " You don't have to thank us for anything we were just doing our jobs, and we don't deserve all the credit everyone helped". Nowe looked at the leader and he started laughing a little as Nowe was finish talking.
Ignitus watch Nowe, he knew that he was still 14. He didn't expect him to act so mature for his age, he was like Spyro when they met, they both are so young with a heavy burden they must carry around.
Nowe walked away and pulled Spyro, and Cynder to where he was standing. Then he grabbed Ignitus's arm and move him next to where the two were standing. They didn't understand the point of what Nowe was trying to do.
" Ignitus I need to ask you something the, night of Malefor's attack you thought you failed. I read up on something, and you have always blame yourself for what happened" said Nowe. He had a plan he wanted to make Ignitus hear this even if he didn't want to.
" Ignitus I think it's time for you to face the truth, I know about how you feel about the night of the attack on the temple years ago. I know you still blame yourself about it, and that it's been eating away at you, that's the main darkness that still holds your heart". He was going to make Ignitus face his darkness, because he need to hear it.
" Nowe what is the meaning of this" said Ignitus. Ignitus was about to walk away he didn't want to hear what he had to say, that was Ignitus greatest failure he didn't want to relive it.
" I'm sorry about this Ignitus but you have to hear this" said Nowe. He had to do this because he wanted Ignitus to forgiven himself, it's been too long since then, and he had blamed himself every since. " Ignitus look at them their fine. Both Spyro and Cynder are here because of you. Look around you Ignitus this place is here because of you".
Ignitus was done hearing this, as he walked off he was stopped by Volteer, and Terrador.
" Ignitus, it's time we are doing this for your own good. You need to finally forgive yourself. You're the leader of the guardians and you always will be, look around you Ignitus, you made all of this possible.
He walked up to Ignitus and looked him in the eyes, he knew what he was saying was hurting him, but he need to hear it. It's time for him to tell the truth. Spyro then walked up to him and started talking.
" Ignitus… " said Spyro. Spyro knew what Nowe was doing so he was going to help. " look at me, I'm here because of you, you help me believe I was more than what I thought I was. I never thought I could become a hero if it wasn't for you. Ignitus you were the first dragon I met, and you have done so much for me than anyone else. You helped me become who I am now, I'm alive because of you".
Ignitus looked at Spyro, he watch as he grew up and wished he had more time to spend with him.
" You have no idea how much it hurt from losing you, I still haven't forgave myself for letting you down in the wall of flames" said Spyro.
Ignitus knew how Spyro felt about it, and it was eating away at Spyro too. The failures they think they did have been hurting them both. " What happened that day wasn't your fault, that was my choice that day" said Ignitus.
" Yeah but I don't care, if I was stronger I could have done something" cried Spyro. It hurt him, he wanted to try and forget but he couldn't, he knew who Ignitus was really and it hurt. " Ignitus you blame yourself for failing me, and I blame myself for failing you. Ignitus if it wasn't for you I won't be here, or meet anyone I know today. You are the reason I was able to become who I am, you didn't fail, you saved us".
Ignitus looked at his son, and maybe it was time to forgive himself for the sake of his son. " Spyro I'll forgive myself if you chose to forgive yourself too". He want things to be done with because he wanted it to be over finally, and as he watched Spyro starting to cry a little, it hurt. His son was still hurting and wanted it to end.
Spyro looked at Ignitus, smiled, and was happy that it was over. Spyro knew about Ignitus's secret for a while now, he knew Ignitus was his birth father. He knew for a while now but didn't say anything.
( A while back )
He found out after he saved Cynder from Malefor, a few days later he overheard Terrador, and Ignitus talking. Spyro was walking to the training room, and Spyro saw both Terrador, and Ignitus talking. He heard his name when they were talking so he hid by the door to hear what they were saying.
" You can't keep this from him any longer, the longer you wait the more it could hurt him" said Terrador.
" Yes but he just got back from his fight, and he needs to rest, he don't need to know yet". said Ignitus.
Spyro was wondering what they were talking about, but he knew it was about him, and he wanted to know so he stood there listening.
" You will need to tell him, Spyro is your son" said Terrador.
Spyro was shocked, he didn't know what he was hearing. How was Ignitus his father it made no sense, he was his mentor, and someone he trust, but his father. Spyro was mad that he kept this from him but he was really happy too. Adleast he knows who his father was.
" Terrador keep it down, I know but how will he take it, what if he gets angry at me or" said Ignitus but he was stopped by Terrador.
" Ignitus, you're his mentor, and he already thinks highly of you but you must you can tell him later because there is no point trying to reason with you, you are so stubborn" said Terrador.
That was the last thing Spyro heard before running off.
It was a while but he didn't want to say anything because he wanted to hear it from Ignitus. There was a lot of tense but it was finally over for the time being.
Nowe then smack Ignitus on the back, and said " Ignitus it looks like you got this one, I have to head into town to sharpen my blade". He didn't even give Ignitus time to say anything before he jumped, and dived on the ground and activated flowmotion. He then blasted through everyone, and he jumped and casted aero to give more speed. As he was zooming throughout the skies but he stayed in his human form for the time being as he jumped from tree to tree until he got to the streets where he jumped from the roofs.
When he was a dragon, he was so happy that he had his own pair of wings where he was able to touch the skies and the wind in his face. It was just amazing, he loved the feeling maybe that was why he loved riding on Saber's back that day. So as he got to the shop and landed on the ground doing a barrel roll on the ground.
He saw into the shop hoping to see Aero but the shop was empty no one was there.
" Hey Aero you here, where are you" said Nowe. He tried screaming but no response. He wondered where he went , but he started the fire, and started spinning the thick stone wheel, and sharpened his blade. There were spark flying from it, and when he was done Avalon looked good as new again. But he still hasn't got the chance to try the gunblade mode. Nowe put in back in it's scabbard, and he was getting ready to go. Then he heard screaming, Nowe ran out of the shop, and seeing armor heartless attacking people. He drew his blade, and charged at the heartless.
Nowe used his sword skill and using his fire powers and ignited the Heartless that got in the way. He used flowmotion, and used kick dive to clear out some of the heartless. Nowe jumped onto the roof, and saw a storm rider. Nowe has only read about this type of heartless and never fought one. It was known their weakness is on back of their head, but it was going ot be hard to get back without any wind to ride.
Nowe charged the heartless as it was flying, there was only one way to defeat it and the beat way was to lead it out of the city. Nowe switched back to human form, and summoned his keyblade to call a special friend to help fight this creature. So Nowe jumped, and used his aero to reach the heartless. If he couldn't find the wind to ride he could make one so Nowe casted Aero and jumped all the way to the back of the Heartless. Nowe jabbed his blade into the back of his head, and it didn't like it. It screeched loudly, everyone in the city heard it.
The guardian come to see what was going on, and as everyone rushed outside seeing Nowe getting dragged around by a big creature. Spyro and Cynder saw it started to laugh a little because it was really funny. As they were about to help, they were stopped by Ignitus.
" Not yet, Nowe has to do this one on his own, and beside he has a plan, so our job is to make sure everyone is ok. Also the the remaining heartless is up to us" said Ignitus. Ignitus knew Nowe could handle this, and he only had a few days before he would disappear, and he wanted to use it and spend time with his son. Yet he wanted to see how everything has progressed throughout the city. His job was to write down what happens to the world and this is a special case because the world is Malefor wasn't suppose to return.
Nowe jabbed his sword deeper so he could hang on as he was hanging on, but he had to get this thing out of the city. The Storm Rider flew higher fast at the point where Nowe was losing his grip on his sword. As Nowe was about to fall off he pulled his sword out as he fell. He summoned his keyblade as he started to scream something. " This is a better time then anyway, SABER I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE!". His keyblade glew this gold aura as he shot a beam into the sky as a portal appear. Coming out was his friend Saber, as he flew to his rescue. He slammed the Storm rider out of the was as he rushed to catch Nowe.
Nowe was about to hit the ground but just in time he caught Nowe and descended back into the air.
" Took you long enough to summon, it was getting boring waiting for you" said Saber.
" Sorry about that I had my hands full with that thing" said Nowe.
" Yeah I can tell let's finish this fast so we could catch up a little" said Saber. Nowe agreed and he drew Avalon.
Let's finish this!
