Chapter 9: The Belief Of Another
"Master... are you ok?" The minion questioned
Malefor didn't answer he only turned to leave heading out. He was quite surprised that once in his life or um death that he wasn't totally angered by the world. He stepped outside the chronicler's cave and sat down. The gremlin Minion stood beside him, waiting for him to shout out an order, but nothing came out except this, "I believe, the world doesn't need me in it."
"But.. Master!" The Minion pleaded.
"No... Spyro... was right... I am not needed and power only brings war. This planet has too many inhabitants in it to be ruined by vicious evil like me." Malefor stated.
"What... are we to do?" The Minion stated.
"In ancient txt I only found one form of true immortality." Malefor stated.
"What would that be?" questioned the minion.
"Reincarnation? Isn't that only used for good guys or people who want to restart all over?" The Minion stated.
"Yes, you can either pass over or reincarnate yourself, I however am going to give myself a chance at good. I am going to Reincarnate myself. Hopefully the ancestors will take mercy on my new self." Sighed Malefor.
"I will reincarnate myself too, I will always be of service to my master." The Minion stated, "But... what do you think we will come back as?"
"Most txts are unintellectual but the only book I found to be moderately useful said that you will be reborn as a lesser being if you done evil such as a bug. Good will always become what they were or better. So we will probably half to work our way up from being a bug or a rodent." smiled Malefor
"If that's what it takes for master to smile, then so be it." The minion gave a smile also.
Malefor turned to see Volteer, Terrador, Ignitus, Cyril Kira, Cynder, and Spyro leave the cave. Malefor and his minion only listened as they talked.
"Ignitus before we go, what do you think happened to Malefor?" Terrador asked.
"He will stay in limbo until he passes over I believe." Ignitus stated, "Or... if he become good somehow."
"How would he do that?" Spyro astonishingly asked.
"He would half to selflessly do a good deed. At least something that would in self believing be doing the world good." Stated Ignitus.
"So theirs no risk of the Dark Master returning?" Cynder asked.
"Maybe not the Dark master but... Something different." Ignitus said calmly.
"Different as in worse?" questioned the curious Cynder.
"I think Ignitus meant... better." Spyro said with a smile.
The minion jumped to the side seeing that he had dodge a droplet of water. He looked up to see something totally unexpected. Malefor was crying. He wasn't whimpering or balling, but crying. The minion could easily see it wasn't sadness but hope. He had always hoped for his master's happiness either in being evil or otherwise, "Master, I think it's time."
"Yes, let's go." Malefor said looking to the sky before his minion's body and himself began to glow. Particles of light dispersing in light before being drifted off into the wind.
"Good bye Ignitus." Spyro said as he followed the rest as everyone said their good byes.
Cynder flew next to Spyro and a short shiver went through her as the wind passed by her body. She shivered and dropped from the air by a foot or so.
"You ok?" Spryo asked.
"Yea, guess a possum ran over my grave." Cynder joked.
Spyro laughed as he smiled at her. Cynder gladly smiled back as she said, "Come on, they're leaving us."
Cynder sped up to catch the three guardians and Kira.
One week later:
A young dragon had awoken, purple scales and a yellow underbelly. Young kind looking eyes that shimmered, and with his usual yellow eyes. He wasn't newly hatched but had no memories. He only knew one thing, the name Malefor. He looked up to the blue sky and his gaze lowered to the environment. He actually knew where he was. He was in the ruins of the well of souls. All that remained was a crumbled mountain full of rocks and debris. His eyes shot open however when he saw something. It looked like a small furry tail sticking up from behind a rock. He pushed himself up onto all fours and crouched low to the ground. He lowered his breathing as he saw the tail flicker and he jumped onto the rock and to his amazement saw a furry male tiger. He looked like he was seventeen or so in fur age and was clothed only with a loincloth. Malefor jumped as he saw the tiger come to life. Pushing himself to his feet. Malefor tried to step back but fell off the rock he was standing on. He fell with a thud onto his back, looking up at the tiger. Malefor swallowed as he saw the tiger reach out a paw, "are you ok?"
Malefor nodded taking his paw. The tiger pulled him to his feet and said, "My name is Landis."
"Mines Malefor"
(for the ones that don't get it, Landis is Malefor's former minion from before reincarnation.)
"How did we get here, I don't remember anything but my name." Landis stated.
"I don't know, I remember only my name also. I do know that we are in the well of souls." Malefor stated.
"Do you think we should find civilization?" Landis questioned.
"I suppose we should." Malefor replied.
Landis headed off into a random direction, and soon came to a forest of mushroom trees.
"How do you know if this is the right direction?" wondered Malefor
"I don't know, I just picked a direction."
Malefor didn't say anything but kept walking. Suddenly his stomach growled, "Hey you think we could get something to eat?"
"Yea, let's hunt something." Landis stated.
"hunt?"
"Have you ever hunted, Mal?"
"No..." Malefor stated.
"Ok, you just gather wood and start a fire, I'll be right back." Landis jumped into the woods.
Spyro groaned as his stomach growled, "Isn't it time for lunch?"
"I smell a fire, maybe we could drop in and say hello while we hunt." Kira stated.
"Yes let's, there is the smoke." Cyril pointed.
They all flew down landing in front of Malefor. Malefor jumped back not expecting the six dragons before him.
"We didn't mean to scare you young dragon." Volteer started.
"Your scales... are purple!" Cynder said astonished.
"Yea what of it?" Malefor stated.
Just then Landis came back with a deer carcass limped over his shoulder.
"Landis, your back!" Malefor smiled.
"Hello, I'm Landis." He introduced to the dragons, "And this is my friend Mal."
"You look awfully familiar." Spyro said with a puzzled look. His eyebrow raised and head tilted like he was trying to remember.
"I've never met you before." said Malefor cowering behind Landis.
"Why is your scales purple young one, can you use all the elements?" Terrador asked as kindly as he could.
"I don't know.... I.. don't remember." Malefor claimed getting almost angry with himself for not knowing.
"Hey! Leave him alone." Landis growled.
Malefor looked shocked seeing that Landis was standing up for him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to push." Terrador apologized.
"Don't mind them, men are always asking the wrong questions." Kira said with a giggle.
"If you don't mind, we are hungry but if it's ok with Mal then you can stay and eat." Landis stated.
Everyone looked to Mal and he gently nodded his head yes. Everyone made themselves comfortable and Landis started cooking the large deer on the fire. Soon the air around the area smelt strongly of food.
"Where did you learn to cook like this Landis?" Mal asked.
"I.. don't remember." Landis said looking to the fire.
Deep down Cynder could feel a dark feeling like when she was around the Dark Master. She knew he was dead but her gut was telling her he was near by. This feeling however was different. She wasn't scared or cautioned, more like calming like as if a friend was nearing to say hello. Cynder dismissed it and looked at Mal and Landis.
"Do you know anything about what purple dragon's can do Mal?" Spyro asked.
"Spyro don't be rude." Cynder tried to say quietly.
"What?" stated Spyro.
"No I don't, all I know is that I woke up this morning with no memory and the only thing I do remember is my name." Mal stated.
"I see...." Spyro said looking down to his claws. "I'm sorry for intruding."
"It's fine I suppose." Mal said looking bashfully away.
"Ok Mal, you first." Landis said pulling some meat from the cooked carcass and handing it to Mal.
Landis handed everyone a portion and then everyone started eating. The group seemed quiet and almost frightened of Mal. They didn't know where this feeling was coming from but the guardians knew this was no way to feel about a child. He should be given a chance, not to be feared.
"Mal, Landis, why don't you both come to the temple with us?" Terrador was the first to say.
Mal looked to Landis like he knew what was best.
"Why not go, it will be an opportunity to make friends." Landis stated.
Mal smiled and agreed and returned to eating his deer meat. Somehow though, their company seemed almost... discerning.
After dinner and the sun was gone. He prepared the fire to last a fairly long time by putting lots of wood on it. Mal stretched on the ground and tried to inch toward the fire to stay warm. But to no avail, it wasn't enough. His body started shivering and he pulled his tail between his legs hugging it for extra warmth. Landis finished with the fire and saw Mal in the fetal position shivering. Without thinking he laid down next to him, wrapping his arm around the cold dragon. Mal yelped lightly surprised at Landis's kindness but relaxed.
"Spyro?" Cynder whispered.
"What is it Cynder, something wrong?"
"I was just wondering..... if we could lay together?" Cynder curiously asked with a light blush on her face.
"Sure." Spyro said blushing raising his wing.
Cynder crawled under his wing wiggling her body closer to him. Spyro yawned laying his head down. He jumped slightly as to his surprise Cynder layed her head across the back of his neck. Spyro relaxed as he closed his eyes. A small smirk of happiness on his muzzle.
