Chapter 10

He couldn't scream, so much terror filled his body as his death came upon him. He had heard legend of a purple dragon and what happens when they are angered but believed them to be no more than old superstition. He could now feel the intense heat of the burning juggernaut on his scales as it drew closer. But by some sheer stroke of luck, a large earth blast collided with the fireball knocking it away from its target and disappear in a flurry of embers. Spyro snapped back to reality as the attack was cancelled, causing the black tendrils to disappear in black smoke.

Gaia dashed over to the scene, clearly she was the origin of the earth blast. "What's going on here?"

"And after we told her what happened we got sent back inside." Amethyst continued. "Then you came to pick us up, but…" She paused as her emotions began to get the better of her so Spyro continued, already knowing what was on her mind through their mental link.

"The looks everyone gave us… and the names…" Vile listened closely, slowly realizing what was wrong. It wasn't the fact that they discovered a new power, it was what that power did to them, making them outcasts in the entire school. Slowly wrapping her wings around them, she gathered them to her side where she nuzzled them in comfort.

It seemed to work as they finally were able to speak. "They called us freaks mama, some of them even called us evil, it hurt." They both began to tear up even further as they recalled the memory, the looks of their friends and all the other hatchlings flashed through their minds continuously, almost mocking them.

"Shh…" She gently hushed the distraught duo. "It's ok, shhh…" she repeated over and over until they finally were able to look up at her with tear filled eyes. "You know what, it doesn't matter what they think about you, do you believe your evil?" Her only answer was a shake of their heads, she smiled warmly at them. "Then it's not true is it?"

"But…"

"No buts," She interrupted gently. "Not another word young dragon." She wrapped her wings tighter around them. "You are not monsters nor are you evil. It doesn't matter what other people call you, as long as you believe that you will always remain good."

The little pep talk seemed to have brighten their mood a bit as a small smile appeared on their tear-stained faces. They snuggled in closer into their adoptive mother and curled up at her side. With her wing firmly wrapped around them she laid her head down for some much needed rest. The moon was high in the night sky indicating it to be around midnight and they had school in the morning.

"Mama…" Vile looked down to the small purple hatchlings as they looked up at her with bright eyes. She couldn't help but smile at the adorable look they gave her. "Will we always be together?"

"Of course my children.."

"Forever...?"

"Yes, forever and then some." Now reassured the two of them fell asleep rather quickly. The strain on their emotions adding to their fatigue. Vile's smile widened as she gave a loving lick to their heads as they cooed in their sleep. "Good night little ones…"

Vile was about to close her eyes again when the purple twins' story came to her mind. She has never heard of an element of that description, it seemed similar to darkness but not quite. Her brow furrowed in thought as she began to think of all the possibilities but in the end decided to check the grand library. Her eyes shifted to the hatchlings under her wing, sleeping rather peacefully. 'You two are something special. One day you will realize that.' And with that last thought Vile closed her eyes and fell into a blissful sleep.

"Are the preparations set?"

"Yes General Scar."

"Good, commence attack." The small ape bowed before rushing off to perform his duties. Scar looked into the night sky as the two moons shone luminously. 'Soon, we will find those two and Master's plans will be fulfilled.'

Hey all, Shadow here, sorry for the really late update but I've reached that stage of every teenagers life that they must live with or outgrow. Yes Im talking about laziness and procrastination. Well anyways, this chapter is one of my shorter ones for fillers and stuff like that so these are going to be pretty rare.

Also Christmas is coming up and so here is your Christmas gift. Don't worry I'll try and get the next chapter up real soon.

Peace out Home Dawgs.
