The Night went on as the two made their promise, that Nowe will return one day after completing his goal. The rest of the night they told each other stories of their past, and Spyro started to explain the Dragonfly thing. Nowe laugh and thought it was really cute that Spyro thought he was a really big dragonfly. Also that he had a brother named Sparx, and it turns out that he was back home to watch out for his family and his mate. As they were talking Spyro was wondering how his brother is right now.
" Well as we are on the topic, since your brother had a mate, who do you have your heart set on" said Nowe.
Spyro's cheeks turn bright red from the question he was just asked. He received Nowe laughing by his reaction. " Nowe let's change the topic".
Nowe laughed about how embarrassed Spyro got when he asked him that question. " Oh come on Spyro, I think most of us can tell you have a thing for Cyn.." said Nowe before getting stop by Spyro with a smack on his hand from Spyro's tail.
" Shut Up Nowe don't you bring her into this" said Spyro.
Nowe rubbed his hand but also still laughing from before because now Spyro's cheeks were even more red than before when he mentioned Cynder.
Eventually Nowe did change the topic just for Spyro's sake because if they kept talk Spyro would have turn as red as Ignitus in the end.
" So Nowe tell me, what do you think of our world so far" said Spyro.
" Well I like it here, it's warm and the people here are friendly adleast" replied Nowe.
When they finished talking they had to fly back to the temple fast because Spyro still had to meet Ignitus in his chambers later.
By the time they got back, Cyril started to yell at them for being gone so late. If they were gone any longer, they would have expected the worse. Well only Cyril thought that because the other knew that they could handle themselves if anymore heartless came by.
" Ok Cyril we get the point, we promise not to stay out late anymore, so can we go now" said Nowe.
Spyro did try to stop Nowe from saying something like that because if you talk back, Cyril would get started with how that we should respect our elder, and all the crap.
" Spyro really needs to go he promise to meet Ignitus after so could adleast let him go" asked Nowe.
" No because you need to learn some matter and not talk…" said Cyril before Nowe knock him out cold. All he did was press a nerve in his neck that would make him pass out, and he was out on the floor.
Then all eyes were on Nowe. " What, I'm sorry he was getting really annoy about all of that and Spyro has somewhere to be".
" No we were not going to say that, we were just going to ask if you could show us how to do that" said Terrador.
" Deal but Spyro get going you have to be there on time" said Nowe before Spyro started to run off.
Nowe then looked at Terrador, and then said " Well it looks like it's time for the truth to come out".
" Well you're right there young one, I just hope it goes Ignitus's way" said Volteer.
Nowe was caught off guard when he was called young, even tho he was, but he didn't like being called it.
" Volteer don't call me young, and not to be rude but I remember Spyro mentioning you talking fast and with bigger words" said Nowe.
Volteer, and Terrador laugh at him when he asked something like that. They haven't meet anyone who would ask such a question.
" What's so funny" asked Nowe.
Volteer was the first one to talk. " Well Nowe times are changing, and as Guardians we have to change too so we could keep up with our peaceful times. I guess after a while i got use to it, but at times it would be nice to talk the way i use too, especially now Ignitus was here".
" I never expected him too either especially Cyril, even tho Cyril seems unbearable sometime, he is very skilled in ice" said Terrador.
" Well whatever, I'm just going to spy on what the other two are talking about, well see ya later" said Nowe before walking away from the Volteer, Terrador, and a sleeping Cyril before they got the chance to stop him as he ran down the hallway.
Meanwhile Spyro is in Ignitus's room, and they began talking.
Ignitus has never been this nervous in his life except asking the dragoness of his life to become his mate forever.
" Ok Spyro I asked you here so we could talk about an important matter" said Ignitus.
Spyro was hoping it was time Ignitus told him who he really was. Spyro was really happy but was a little mad it took so long for him to tell him and explain everything.
" Spyro I'm… I'm... you see… it's just um…" Ignitus was having a hard time saying the words he wanted to say ever since the time they met. So he was just going to flat out and tell him. " Spyro have you ever wanted to know who your birth parents are".
Spyro nodded yes and he can't believe it's so hard for him just to say it.
" Well Spyro you're mother isn't with us anymore she past away along time ago, but your father is still around and…. your…. looking at him.." said Ignitus finally. Nowe stood there and watched closely on Spyro trying to see his reaction
Spyro was sad about his mother, but Ignitus has finally told him the truth. Spyro jumped toward Ignitus and hugged his father. Tears started to roll down Ignitus's face, he was so happy that everything turn out ok. He thought he would need time to process it but he hugged Spyro and held him close to him.
Nowe was started by the door looking through the crack of the door, and then started to run down the hall happy that Ignitus finally told him. He started to do flips across the halls and when he wa in far enough range and screamed Yes!.
The other guardians notice and they knew it turned out good. Well it was all good now because one part of his job was done and now all he had to do now was to handle Malefor and his heartless once and for all. So he went into the training and summoned some dummies to practice on. He had to get better at using his element because if he want to defeat Malefor he had to get better at using them. Nowe was already an expert at using fire but everything else was going to need a lot of work.
So he started with ice he was trying to use it without keyblade this time because if he was going fight Malefor, he was going to need to have an advantage. Nowe went through some of the magic books they had but if Cyril found him in there, he may be screwed. Well he found something called Time Dilation, it was a ice basic ability that can be use to increase movement. It takes skill to be able to use this attack, because first Nowe need to be able to create the seal to even use it. So he had a lot of time to himself tonight with the other guardian's on their patrol and Ignitus and Spyro still talking.
Nowe took the book and went into the training room, and got ready to practice. So as he read through the book that particular skill caught his interest. So first he was going to need to summon the seal, so Nowe had to focus on his power of ice. So he had to feel the ice inside him and release it. But first how, and two how to summon a seal. Ok Nowe was good at using his power best at random but using it to do something else more complicated is just worse.
Nowe was good at combinations, and figuring thing out faster but looking at this book is throwing him off. So Nowe took a deep breath, and relaxed himself and imagine what he wanted to do. So the seal he had to focus on the one he wanted. It sound easier than it really was, so drew Avalon and with his left hand, started to try and cast the spell. As he move his fingers flakes of ice and snow followed. The symbol started to appear but ever faint, and it appear on the ground, and it was a big circle with a layer of unknown symbols, and a big snowflake on the center. He tried to keep making it grow but in the end it just break and faded away. Nowe was happy that it he got it to appear but sad that it failed.
He tried for the rest of the night, and every attempt failed, He stayed up as long as he could just to perfect the spell, and he didn't care how many attempt he had to do, just to get it right. He may have been very skilled with magic with his keyblade he wasn't the best without it. Others weren't that hard but ice was hard to learn at times. As his 58 attempt, he heard Spyro screaming his name, and he stopped doing what he was doing. When Spyro and him finally meet up, he found out Malefor and forces had advanced inside the city.
" We have to hurry, the others are trying to hold them off, they need our help. Ignit.. Da., oh you know what I mean, went ahead of us" said Spyro. Spyro still need sometime before he could start called him his dad even tho he knew the whole time. It was hard to call him something he never called him before.
" Well what are we waiting for, let's go" said Nowe as Spyro and him sprinted out of the temple to the rest of the city.
As they got there they could see the swarm of Heartless chase and attack everyone. There was fire and panic, Nowe blamed himself for this because if he wasn't so occupied with perfecting some stupid skill.
Nowe and Spyro jumped into action as they split up to cover more ground. It was no time to be goofing around so he summoned his keyblade, and when at it. He took down as many as he could, and every time he did more would show up. So Nowe tried his power, Dragon Furies, so he felt the power grow inside him as he release a big amount of fire fly at once taking down all the heartless in the area he was covering but he burn up a lot of the house in the process. So he casted deep freeze to help put out the fire, but doing that depleted his mana.
He knew using a fury attack and casting a big attack like Deep Freeze would lower his mana by a lot. So he had to preserve the mana he had left. He ran off hoping to find the others soon. Thanks to the villages warrior help clear the damage and lead people to safe. But after all the home, and memories forged in their home would be burned away until there is nothing left. Nowe felt a boost of strength after what he thought of, he didn't want this to turn out like what happened to him home. He keep fight until he had no mana left, he knew if he kept it up he would out, and he would have to resource to Avalon.
As he clear out the rest of the heartless in his area, he found Malefor standing there holding a hatchling by the neck. Nowe saw this and something ignite in his heart, he used flowmotion and kick dive Malefor to the debris of one of the buildings destroyed by the heartless. In the process, Malefor let go of the hatchling as he was about fall Nowe was luck to slide and catch him in time. Nowe checked on the hatchling, he placed his blade his mouth to see if he was still breathing. Thanks the ancestors, he was still breathing, and you could tell by his figure. Nowe was so close to crying because as he watched the small child between life or death in his arms. But he was going to be ok, and Nowe had the big smile of relief after. But it soon end as Malefor stood up from the debris, he has changed so much from before. His eyes were now yellow, and his purple skin was now darker than before, as a dark shadow fog follows his every movement.
Nowe didn't have a choice he had to run, if he didn't for sure the child in his arms would not survive the battle that would of taken placed. Nowe took one last glimpse at that monsters, as he noticed something in his eyes. Nowe saw light, it was impossible, he could now feel a small light inside of what was left of Malefor. Then Malefor summoned more heartless, as Nowe ran away, it wasn't the best plan but it was the only thing he could do. If he stayed and fight he wasn't sure if he could keep him safe from the heartless, at some point Nowe could get reckless, and the heartless could go after him. Nowe ran as fast as he could hoping to find someone. Someone who could take this child, and get him far, far away from where he was now.
Up ahead he saw Spyro fighting off heartless, with Ignitus side by side. Even tho it was life or death situation, it was still nice seeing them spend some time together. Nowe ran over there and with his right hand, he casted chains of lightning. With it, a spark of lightning struck through every heartless that is close to Ignitus, and Spyro. It was a one of the first advance spells that Donald taught him, and it really comes in handy in situations like this.
" Nowe you're here and who's the kid" said Spyro. Ignitus walked up to him, and made sure the kid was ok even tho Nowe made sure already. Nowe handed the kid over the Ignitus, and before Ignitus could say anything, Nowe used his flowmotion and flew away. Nowe was going back to fight Malefor and hopefully it wasn't too late.
