Chapter 3- the dark master no more?
"Oh, my head" groaned Spyro as he slowly opened his eyes, where was he? He saw that he was on the floor of a dark cavern that seemed to radiate pure malice; the last thing he remembered was sitting with on the balcony with Cynder.....
"Cynder!" he yelled
"Don't worry, she'll be along soon" said a husky voice, and Spyros head shot up, he knew that voice anywhere.
"Gaul", growled Spyro, well, as best he could through the iron bands around his muzzle. As he tried to stand, he noticed he was bound by his legs to 4 large stone blocks with half inch thick chains; they were obviously not taking any chances this time. And then a torch lit up next to him to reveal Gaul, who he killed not so long ago, standing not 5 feet from him, crystal eye shining in the dim light.
"How nice it is to see you again, Spyro, no, please don't get up" he said with a smug smile, obviously HE thought he was funny. And then a voice so evil that it could freeze the blood in your veins spoke, shaking the cavern around them.
"Bring in the prisoners, and don't speak to them Gaul, even they don't deserve such a torture".
A snarl formed on Gaul's face as he shouted orders to what seemed like no one, but soon 4 teams consisting of apes, shadows and a few trolls came out of the darkness to lift the stone blocks and chains so that Spyro could walk. Gaul led them through the darkness to a large ornately decorated door. It would have been beautiful when it was made but now the wood was chipped and the paint was cracked, and large scorch marks met with mould and moss near the top.
As Gaul opened the door a foul stench rushed out of the room, the smell of death. The skeletons of large beasts littered the floor of a cavern 300 square metres in diameter made up of blackened earth and small jutting stones, while the walls met the floor at uneven levels, they also rose at uneven speeds, but the top of the cavern was so far away that the torches lining the walls couldn't penetrate the darkness.
And in the middle of the cavern was the one thing that Spyro had hoped not to see, a large black dragon, known through out the land as the dark master. His pitch black scales did not shine or sparkle like Cynders, but rather sucked in the light and destroyed it, emanating pure darkness. When Spyro was but 25 metres from where he was lying he turned his head towards them.
"Stop there" he said, unusually quietly "Gaul, go stand guard".
After the 4 teams had stopped and placed the blocks on the ground, they quickly bowed to the dark master and hurriedly left, while Gaul, unhappy at having to leave stalked out darkly, and Spyro allowed himself a small smile, Gaul was definitely pissed off.
Just then Spyro noticed another door that was just like the one he had come through, on the wall to the left of him open, and Spyro saw Cynder enter in the same fashion Spyro had, led by a large troll, he was about 3 metres from head to foot and carried a large broad sword that was longer than he was tall, and was as wide as Spyros torso. His dark green Skin clad in heavy silver chain mail, and he had an eye made of a strange gem like Gaul did, only this trolls was pure black. As Cynder was set down next to him the troll spoke.
"I've brought you the traitor my lord" he said bowing deeply
"Spyro, Cynder, this is Garvog, he is my new General" said the dark master "Garvog, go stand guard outside".
Garvog saluted, and then he left. As soon as the door had closed behind him the dark master turned back to them and gave them a smile so evil that it could break diamonds with pure malice.
"Well haven't you grown" he said "so what have you two been up to?"
"How are you and Gaul still alive? And what do you want with us?" growled Cynder.
At her voice his face began to twist, the eyes darkened even more then the darkest dungeon, and his mouth into a savage snarl, he was the face of rage. Then he yelled at them with the force of an earth quake
"YOU TRAITOROUS BITCH! I GAVE YOU POWER, I SAVED YOU AS AN EGG AND I GAVE YOU POWER, AND YOU BETRAYED ME"
And then he hit her with so much force the chains actually snapped, Spyro yelled as she hit the far wall with a sickening thud.
"CYNDER!" he screamed, panic was already filling him but when she didn't move it simply pushed him over the edge. She's dead, he thought, she's dead, and I didn't do a thing to stop it, he killed her and I couldn't do a thing to stop him. No, it can't be, no, no,
"NO!" he yelled, and he started to cry, when the dark master saw his tears he smiled and stepped towards Spyro. He raised his paw above him to crush Spyro, but jumped back when he saw Spyros body Vibrate violently.
So many emotions swirled through his head, he was filled with grief for her and yet there was room for more, over flowing with panic, sadness and realization as he thought about her and he knew something that was completely true, he loved her, the only dragon he had ever loved was dead because of HIM, and with that one more emotion came into his head consuming all else, pure hatred.
Cynders head was swimming, she was in a lot of pain where he had hit her and where she had hit the wall but she was still alive, eventually she opened her eyes and looked towards Spyro to see him crying and vibrating.
As Spyro opened his eyes he looked directly into the dark masters, and the dark master saw something that he had seen in his own eyes once, but his was never this intense, he saw a hatred that cancelled out all else, and he was afraid.
"you killed her" Spyro said quietly, but then his face contorted to show what his eyes already did and yelled with such force that he actually caused the dark master to be blown back against the wall.
"YOU KILLED HER, YOU KILLED THE ONE THAT I LOVED, I WILL FUCKING DESTROY YOU!"
And with that Spyro snapped the chains holding him down off his wrists and flew up into the air, the earth beneath them started to shake and the room became very cold. The air became charged with energy and the rocks became red hot as all four elements gathered into the cavern, as Spyro drew in a deep breath it all seemed to disappear into his mouth, and for a moment there was a calm silence. Then Spyros mouth opened and released all the pent up emotions within him along with the four elements in a spiraling beam. And at the centre of it all was a thin beam of pure light, the second it hit the dark master he roared in pain and agony and he felt himself being vaporized. He knew he couldn't hold on any more, and a portal opened from nowhere and sucked him though, the resulting blast of energy caused a rip in the fabric of the dimensions and something that Cynder couldn't quite see slipped through before it closed itself, and Spyros beam stopped.
All this didn't go unnoticed as garvog, Gaul and the dark masters' entire army of shadows, apes and trolls rushed in seconds before the blast ended and they charged Spyro. Spyro turned around and, upon seeing Gaul and Garvog, unleashed a second blast that instantly destroyed them all except Gaul and garvog, they to were sucked into a portal that opened out of nowhere. When Spyro saw that they were all gone he let out a roar of grief and fell to the earth, physically tired and emotionally drained, though he still managed a flood of tears for his fallen companion.
"Wow" said Cynder as she shakily got up, she had seen and heard the whole thing.
"CYNDER!" shouted Spyro as he jumped up from where he was sitting "you're alive, but how, when he hit you and you didn't answer me I thought".
"I am a little sore but I'll live" She said" but what you did, that was just amazing!"
As she was about to go on when he wrapped her in a tight hug and said quietly "never do that to me again, Cynder, if I real had lost you I don't know what I'd do without you, Cynder, I love you".
"I don't know what you feel but I love you more than anything in the wall and I just want you to be safe, even if you don't love me I will always love yo..."
He was cut of by her as she pulled out from the hug and gave him a loving kiss that lasted a full 3 minutes before she stopped and looked into his eyes and smiled.
"I love you too Spyro" she said "I love you more than anything else in the world"
Before he could reply they heard a groan from where the dark master had been and started as the rubble shifted to show a semi purple dragon slowly getting up.
"Who are you?" asked Spyro cautiously
"Hi my name is Maverick" he replied "but, you might know me as the dark master".
"But how, Spyro killed you" said Cynder, she was shaking all over.
"Actually you just banished The Shadow from me, and I thank you" said Maverick smiling gently. "I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused you".
"Umm. Okay, tell us what's going on please" said Spyro, he and Cynder were quite confused
"perhaps we should leave here and go back to you're temple, I do not wish to stay here lest he try to take me over again, besides, stories are better in a comfortable surrounding".
"Well, okay" said Spyro.
And as they began to leave they heard another small groan and ran back to find underneath some fallen stone something that resembled a dragon, but also resembled one of their most mythical creatures, a ‘human'......
Lolz, I don't know wat you guys want to call it but I think that counts as a cliff hanger. ïŠ comments, suggestions, praise for my awesome skill at writing (just jokin).
