The Legend of Fireburn: A Hero Rises
Chapter Four
Reunion
!5 years later.....
Volteer joins the other Guardians, Spyro, Cynder and Sparx at the Pool of Visions.
"What's this about, Volteer?" Spyro asked.
"I have a secret," Volteer answered.
"A secret?" Cynder asked. "What kind of secret?"
"I was keeping him hidden because I didn't know what you all would think, but," Volteer said avoiding eye contact and keeping his head low and voice just loud enough for them to hear him. "I think it's time to show you."
"Show us what?" Sparx asked. "A cookie? I could go for a cookie."
Spyro shot Sparx a mean look.
Volteer went out the door for a moment. Then he came back with a nervous red dragon the same age as Spyro.
"Who's this?" Cyril asked.
"This is Fireburn," Volteer answered.
"Fireburn..... not a bad name. I'm Terrador," Terrador said.
Cynder, Sparx, and Cyril all introduced themselves.
Except Spyro.
Spyro walked up to the new dragon carefully.
"I feel like I've seen you before.....," he said. "...... What's your name, again?"
"Fireburn," the nervous new-comer said.
"Fireburn," Spyro answered. "That sounds familiar..... I'm Spyro."
"SPYRO?!?!?!" Fireburn exclaimed. "I thought Gaul killed you! I'm so happy you're alive, brother!"
"WHAT?!?!" Cynder said, shocked. "BROTHER?!"
"I..... I.....," Spyro stammered. "Yeah..... yeah, I know! I remember! You are my brother! Fireburn!"
"Yeah! You remember!" Fireburn said excitedly. "Our brothers are Electricshock, Icefrost, and Earthtremble. Gaul killed Electricshock, Earthtremble killed Icefrost, and tried to kill me, but failed. Hey..... where's dad?"
"Dad?" Spyro asked. "I..... we...... have a dad?"
"Of course, silly!" Fireburn laughed. "His name's Malefor, remember?"
There was a long silence. Spyro's smile disappeared.
"What?" Fireburn asked nervously. "What did I say? I just said Malefor is mine and Spyro's dad, that's all!"
"Fireburn.....," Spyro said as comforting as he could. "Malefor..... dad..... was possessed."
".....No.....," Fireburn said crying. "No! No! No! NO!!!!!"
He ran out the door, tears streaking down his damp face.
"Fireburn! Wait!" Spyro yelled running after him. "Come back! I'm sorry!"
Fireburn heard the sound of metal clanking, and tripped.
He got up quickly. His leg was caught in a hunter's trap.
"NO! NO! NO!" Fireburn cried. "Let me go!"
Spyro just arrived when he saw a horrible sight.
A mysterious black snake slithered up Fireburn's leg...... on his back..... down his shoulder..... onto his chest..... and into his heart......
The chain vanished.
Fireburn turned black. His eyes glowed white.
He stared at Spyro.
And tail whipped him.
Then Spyro realized what happened.
His own brother, right before his eyes, was possessed.
