New Chapter (finally)

Chapter 18

Heather opened her eyes to find herself in the Dream World again.

"Hello young dragon." Ignitus's familar voice came.

"Ignitus, I know I'm supposed to save the world and all but still, something bothers me...that eclipse I mentioned awhile back...could you tell me more or how long untill it starts?"

"There is not just one eclipse that day...but two." Ignitus began.

"What?! TWO eclipses at once?!" Heather questioned in shock and confusion.

"Yes. A Lunar and a Solar eclipse. Once they reach their strongest stage they will last two full days, each day bringing evil and corrupted creatures to an unstoppable state."

"Do you know how long until this?"

"There is two weeks before its begining."

Heather was silent, only two weeks before the eclipse, before their downfall.

"We have lost five dragons in our group...as we travel we may encounter more battles with those monsters that are attacking, we may loose half of our group."

The scene before Heather began to fade before she could hear Ignitus's responce, returning her to reality.

~~~
"Heather wake up already." Aurora complained, nuddging the purple dragoness before her.

"Mmmph..." Heather groaned as her eyes oppened.

"It's time to go Heather. If we stay any longer we may bring danger to the Phoenixes."

Heather knew that Aurora was right and struggled to stand, eventually succeeding.


The remainders of the dragons had gathered, ready to take off.

With a final farewell they took to the sky, leaving the clan of Phoenixes behind.

------
Cynder had to endure the pain as a sharp weapon sliced through her scales.

News had come of the band of dragons, they had managed to wipe out half a group of humans with the help of the Phoenixes being attacked.

In other words, having children leading the said band of dragons meant torture for herself, Spyro, and Wave.

She turned her head as she passed a dragon, the pure agony in its eyes made her growl.

She reluctantly restrained herself from slashing at the nearest human in anger, Marie's first warning echoing in her mind.
------

Spyro panted as he lie in a small pool of his blood, he had been brutaly beaten and was covered in deep wounds; some would become scars.

"Marie?" He asked, pain in his voice as the aura dragoness healed him.

"Yes Spyro?"

"Do you ever have dreams that make you wake up crying?"

"Yes. But why do you ask? I can sense something is bothering you."

"Well I've been dreaming that everyone I know and care abouthas either died or been corrupted. Just the other night I had a dream that the world was in ruins. Not only that, but everything was dead, unmoving and greyscale, the celestialmoons were black like on The Night of Eturnal Darkness. When I wake up I see someone I saw as a father, Ignitus the former fire Guardian as the Chronicler. But Ignitus died trying to get Cynder and I across the Belt of Fire."

"Interesting. Never heard of a dream like that happening before."

"I see. I was hoping you could help me figure it out, its not like I can do anything untill later."

I hate lying to him but it's the only thing I can do. Tomorrow night we can reveal everything.


Hope you enjoyed that chapter dispite the boringness.

Spyro's dream just keeps getting more interesting.

Now that school calmed down a bit here's a new chapter

Chapter 19

Food had been plentiful in the mountains where the Phoenixes lived, the band of dragons had eaten their fill and were now airborne.

“So as alies we have the Cheatahs, Dragonbirds, and Phoenixes. Any others we should gather?” Hope asked.

Aurora was silent, deep in thought, “Uruagons.” She said, “Dragons that are known to shapeshift, the first Psychic dragons.

“Shapeshifters huh? That’d be a useful tactic in battle.” A teen fire dragoness replied bluntly.

“Only problem is, they’re far away from where we are now, about a two day travel.”

“Two days?!”

“Yes, and that’s why we should make haste.”

“Well then what are we just hovering here for? C’mon.”


As the band traveled Ian spoke, “you think those twolegs will be there?”

“Most likely not, they wouldn’t be able to cross over the mountains surrounding the Phoenixes without flight.”

“That means we won’t loose any more dragons?”

“Correct.”

“Do you really think we’ll succeed in freeing everyone?” A small wind dragon asked.

“If we strategize correctly, yes. Besides, if we free the captives first we have a higher chance of succeeding.”

-----
Spyro could only ponder as he was forced to work. What made Marie and Wave so angry when Kuro showed himself? What were his dreams telling him?

He felt pain in his back, snapping him out of his thoughts.

“Get back to work Dragon.” A nearby human said.

“Growling Spyro continued to do these monstrous creatures’ bidding.

He spotted Cynder not to far away, crimson blood seeping out of the wounds that covered her.

He wanted to help her but Marie’s advice echoed in his mind, trying to help Cynder would result in death.

-----
Wave pawed at the chain around his neck before speaking to Marie.

“I know you’re scared my love.” He said, “But you have no need to be.”

“I do have to worry, my energy will be low when it begins.”

“I’m the one who needs to be afraid Marie, and you know why.”

There was silence.

“Hey Aura Dragoness.” A small Psychic dragon asked from nearby, “Do you think that if we can’t take these things around us off…we can turn them off?”

Marie pondered for a moment. “Maybe…” she said, “there probably is some kind of power source…it’d be heavily guarded though, would have no way to get to it.”

“Aww, I thought it’d work.”

“It might, we won’t be able to reach it…but those who escaped can!” Wave responded.

“We mention this tonight and add on from there.”

-----
Night had fallen and the imprisoned dragons had been locked up.

“How would Heather and the others know to destroy what generates the power of these things?” Cynder questioned.

“I could inform them through telepathy when they get here, or if they come to save us we could tell them then.” Marie responded.

“That’d work, then once we’re free we can help drive the humans back where they came from.”

“Correct.”

There was silence until Wave spoke, “However, we still have Kuro to worry about. Out of all the humans here… he is the cleverest and probably will expect an attack.”

“That reminds me, why did you and Marie speak to him when you’re the ones that said to NOT interfere with humans?” Spyro asked

“He destroyed our home, murdered those we loved, and tried to kill our daughter. Not only that… but he plans to drain my ability to use aura, which is also my life force, and corrupt the auric energy with the shadow element which he will drain from Wave, thus creating a new element and irreversible power for himself that will corrupt whoever it hits.”

“Quite the clever one aren’t you?” a familiar voice came from afar.

Marie didn’t have to look to see who it was, she knew the owner of the voice too well.

“Did you expect anything less from me Kuro?” The aura dragoness replied cockily, standing up to face the heartless monster in front of the prison cell, the look of hatred returning her eyes like when she first talked to him.

Kuro wasn’t fazed and spoke, “cocky aren’t we Marie?” he questioned in a taunting, yet spiteful tone.

“What do you want this time you monster?!” Wave hissed, his red eyes glowing in the darkness.

“Nothing much, just to remind you what is going to start soon.”

Marie winced at his response, what the human mentioned obviously scared her.

“Oh no need to worry about it, you’ll be dead before it even reaches its full power.”

“You sicken me.” Wave growled, glaring daggers at Kuro.

Kuro just laughed, sending a chill down each dragons’ spine, “Like I said before, just fall into insanity Wave and my job will be much easier.”

With that Kuro turned to leave, not worrying about the duo of angry dragons glaring at him in hatred.

I just HATE Kuro, he's so mean

Why do I get the feeling Marie and Wave will need to reveal something now?

New chapter

Chapter 20

Kuro had left the dungeon that the dragons were imprisoned in, Marie had by now calmed down and sat next to wave.

The Aura Dragoness looked at the shadow dragon beside her, it was time.

“Marie?” Spyro began, “What Kuro said before leaving…what was it about?

Marie sighed and looked at the dragons around her, unable to hold the secret anymore.

“Everyone listen to me.” Marie began, “we have kept this secret for so long but now it’s time to tell you.”

“In one week a day were we will all perish will begin.” Wave continued.

“A day when we will perish?” Cynder questioned, “What do you mean?”

“On this day all that are evil or corrupted will gain power, this is the day Kuro mentioned before he left.”

“Is that even possible?” a fire dragon asked.

“Yes.” Wave replied, “This event will last three days, each one causing those who are corrupt or evil get closer to a state where they are unstoppable. It is an event worse than ‘The Night of Eternal Darkness’.”

“Does that mean that if we aren’t able to defeat the humans by the end of the third day… we won’t be able to stop them?” another dragon asked.

“I’m afraid not. The only ones strong enough to defeat them or any other evil after this event would be a light or silver dragon. But those won’t be born for six more years.”

“What is this day called?” someone else asked.

“It is called Eclissi. Also known as: The Night of the Double Eclipse.” Marie replied.

“Double Eclipse?” a psychic dragon questioned, “What does that mean?”

“Eclissi is when two eclipses happen at once. One Lunar, one Solar.”

“So we basically just murder ourselves after this ‘Eclissi’ happens?” Cynder asked.

“In a way, yes.” Wave said in reply, fear in his voice.

“One question for you Wave.” Spyro asked looking at the shadow dragon.

“Y-Yes?” Wave stammered, obviously knowing Spyro’s question.

“Why is it that when you are enraged your voice distorts?”

Wave was silent as he hung his head down, not wanting to make eye contact with the purple dragon before him.

“I’m corrupted.” He replied reluctantly, Eight years ago I was a pure water dragon. Because of curiosity I entered a cave full of crystals. Deep inside it was four shadow crystals, all stuck in the wall. I didn’t see them since my eyes were focused on the large blue gem in the back of the room…”

Wave began to shake, tears running down his eyes as he continued.

“I ran towards the blue gem but once I got in the center of the room… the dark crystals somehow released streams of shadow energy at me, like some kind of trap. The shadow energy caused pain as it began to sink into my scales; turning my blue and teal colors to what you see now and giving me the shadow element. The energy also began to mess with my mind, trying to corrupt it completely and turn me insane.”

“I managed to save him before he was turned completely insane and evil.” Marie finished, “That is why his voice distorts like that… and why Kuro said ‘fall into insanity, it’ll only make my job easier.’ to him. If Wave is insane his shadow element would be easy to drain as it would be his main element.”

“I thought Aura dragons could cleanse corruption.” Someone said from nearby.

“That is true.” Marie replied, “But I had been too late, Wave’s corruption was too much. I did what I could after freeing him from the crystals’ grasp; managing to make it so he has control of his insanity.”

“Does that mean that…?”

“Yes, during Eclissi he will become stronger and stronger… but because of the fact he is not completely insane or corrupted and has some sanity and a good heart… he will not become unstoppable like those who are pure evil and fully corrupted. Just go insane for awhile.”

“What about me?” Cynder questioned, “I was corrupted by…”

“You are no longer corrupted Cynder, Eclissi will have no negative effect on you.”

“That’s good to hear. I don’t want that to happen to me ever again.”

Spyro realized something and spoke, “Marie, in my nightmares there’s always two eclipses, you think it’s Eclisi?

“Most likely, no other day could cause two eclipses.”

“But why was Cynder corrupted in my dreams but won’t be corrupted in reality?”

“That I do not know Spyro. All I can say is that it’s your mind playing tricks on you.”

“I guess…”

“We should sleep, we need rest.” Wave suggested before lying down on the floor.

Following the shadow dragon’s advice the other prisoners followed, falling asleep.


Well, now you all know why Wave's voice distorts when he's angry, and we find out more about the secret the duo has kept.

Hope you all enjoyed

So Wave is corrupted, and how he became that way is interesting.

Eclissi... that's what is happening in your other story. Now I get why Heather remembered it in that.
