The Legend of Spyro:Twilight15

Chapter 15 – Conquering thy inner darkness


Sieg found himself within the white world that he’s in whenever he interacts with his darkness. Sieg was in his normal dragon slayer form. Sieg looked around cautiously since he didn’t see anyone with him.

“Looking for me” said dark Sieg as he appeared behind Sieg from the shadows. Dark Sieg grabbed Sieg’s arms from behind him and held on to them tight, restricting Sieg’s movement. Sieg struggled to free himself from his darkness’ grip.

“I am going to take control of your body for good now and let the world bow down to my power” said Dark Sieg.

“I won’t let you!” exclaimed Sieg as he lifted his legs off the ground and kicked Dark Sieg right in the face. The force exerted by the attack caused dark Sieg to release his grip from Sieg and be sent falling to the ground. Dark Sieg quickly recovered and began to take out his scythe in a flash of black light.

“Oh…this is going to fun” said Dark Sieg.

Dark Sieg rushed at Sieg. Sieg quickly took out his sword in a flash of golden light; his sword was again glowing with a golden glow. Dark Sieg slashed at Sieg with his scythe but Sieg managed to block his attacks. But then dark Sieg curved his scythe’s blade around Sieg’s blade and disarmed him by hitting his sword up in the air. Dark Sieg slashed at Sieg with his scythe but Sieg jumped on top of Dark Sieg’s scythe and then jumped off it and grabbed his sword as it was falling to the ground. Sieg landed on the ground with his back turned to dark Sieg. Sieg quickly turned around and readied himself once again.

“Stop resisting Sieg, I am your inner darkness! I am the one who gives you those powers! Do you not want to protect Sarah!” exclaimed dark Sieg as his voice started to become demonic with each sentence and his body began to be totally covered in darkness.

“Of course I do” said Sieg “And I will start by protecting her from you!”

“Go right ahead” said Sieg’s darkness as he began to take out a second scythe.
Sieg’s darkness rushed at Sieg slashing at him widely. Sieg tried to block his attacks but was soon over powered and got slashed many times before falling to the ground. Sieg quickly got back up and slashed at his darkness. But his darkness blocked Sieg’s attack with one of his scythes and then quickly counter attacked with the other. Sieg dodged the counter attack and then jumped over his darkness and then placed his left hand on his darkness’ body.

“Dark blast!” exclaimed Sieg. But nothing happened.

“What!?” said Sieg as he looked at his left hand in surprise. Sieg’s darkness attacked Sieg with his scythe while he was still dazed by not being able to use one of his powers.

“Ha ha ha, didn’t I tell you? Without me you have no powers, your strength, abilities, and speed all came from me. Without me you are nothing!” exclaimed Sieg’s darkness.

“No…” said Sieg.

“Oh yes” replied Sieg’s darkness “Now as soon as I defeat you we can become strong again, we can rule the world!”

“You say we but you are just referring to yourself” said Sieg as he got back on his feet.

“Yes, but I get to use your body so I guess it’s only fair” said Sieg’s darkness as he slashed Sieg back to the ground. “Don’t make this any harder then it has to be Sieg. I don’t like chasing after my prey all day.”

“Damn, what am I going to do?” thought Sieg. “I don’t have any of my powers anymore but I have to do something or else it’s all over.” Sieg’s darkness began to slash at Sieg. The attacked seemed to slow down as Sieg was on the ground.

“There has to be something” thought Sieg. Sieg’s darkness’ attacked edged closer to Sieg.

“Something…” thought Sieg. Then Sieg’s mind remembered images of past events; the power he unleashed against Chitina and what he said to Cynder while they were climbing up the mountain.

“A shadow is created in light; without light it has no power; you must first feel the light within you first before you surround yourself with darkness” echoed Sieg’s words from his memories.

“A shadow…” thought Sieg. Sieg’s darkness’ attack was about to hit Sieg when Sieg quickly dodged out of its way.

“Why you…” said Sieg’s darkness as he shot dark waves that moved in a circular force at Sieg. Sieg calmed his mind and focused all his thoughts into his blade. His blade began to glow even brighter as Sieg awaited the circular waves of dark energy. The dark waves hit Sieg’s blade but they were easily dispersed by Sieg’s energy.

“What!? Impossible!” exclaimed Sieg’s darkness.

“You were right about one thing” said Sieg “I am not as powerful without you. But you can be easily replaced.” Sieg started to surround himself with light creating a shadow behind him. “Come forth, my shadow!” Sieg’s shadow rose from the ground becoming an exact replica of Sieg except that his shadows clothes were all black.

“Yawn, man how long has it been since I last saw you?” Sieg’s shadow asked Sieg.

“Huh, wait a minute, we met before?” asked Sieg.

“What you knocked your head or something? Come on man it’s me! We went into battle together” said Sieg’s shadow. Sieg’s shadow looked towards dark Sieg.

“What the…Why is he still here!?” exclaimed Sieg’s shadow “I thought we defeated you a long time ago.”

“I have returned because Sieg’s spirit was reborn. And now I will finally get my revenge on both of you for crushing me before!” exclaimed Sieg’s darkness as he rushed at Sieg and his shadow. Sieg raised his sword up in fear from the attack.

“I don’t think so” said Sieg’s shadow as he raised his hand and then stopped Sieg’s darkness right in his tracks.

“What’s going on?” asked Sieg.

“I have more power then this pathetic darkness of yours” said Sieg’s shadow.

“YOU! HOW DARE YOU! LET ME GO SO I CAN RIP YOU TO SHREDS!” exclaimed Sieg’s darkness.

“Uh, I don’t think so” said Sieg’s shadow. Sieg’s shadow changed his attention to Sieg. “You may have lost your memories but I know there is someone that can help you” said Sieg’s shadow.

“Really!?” exclaimed Sieg. Sieg’s darkness broke free from Sieg’s shadow’s hold and was about to slashed at both of them. But Sieg and his shadow blocked his attack with their similar blades and threw Sieg’s darkness back.

“I think we should deal with him first though” said Sieg.

“I agree. Your connection with me is starting to return you should have all your powers back from before except that I gave you a little upgrade. Sieg felt an intense energy run through his body all of a sudden.

“Wow, this is incredible” said Sieg.

“Let’s take him down! Yeehaw!” exclaimed Sieg’s shadow as he rushed at Sieg’s darkness. Sieg stood still for a moment in confusion.

“Yeehaw?” said Sieg as he joined his shadow in battle. Sieg’s darkness slashed at both Sieg and his shadow with his twin scythes. Sieg and his shadow dodged his attacks and successfully countered attacked Sieg’s darkness.

“I…will…not…LOSE!” exclaimed Sieg’s darkness as he began to envelop the area with a darkness blast. Sieg and his shadow quickly backed far away from it but still noticed the attack closing in on them.

“Sieg, use the power of twilight and finish him off” said Sieg’s shadow.

“But I don’t know how” said Sieg.

“Then let me show you” said Sieg’s shadow as he merged with Sieg’s body. The dark blast edged closer and closer on Sieg’s positioned as Sieg’s darkness laughed at his own amusement. Sieg began to feel alternating feelings between hatred and love and then suddenly Sieg’s body began to glow white.

“Now release your power at your darkness” said Sieg’s shadow from within Sieg’s mind. Sieg raised his left hand at his darkness. Sieg noticed that his hand changed color from black to white and gold.

“Twilight blast!” exclaimed Sieg as gold colored energy charged at Sieg’s darkness. The power of the attack was so great that it caused the dark blast to shatter as it hit it. Sieg’s darkness was still laughing until he noticed the attack that was near him.

“Noooooooooooooooo!” screamed Sieg’s darkness as he was enveloped by its power. As the attacked disappeared from the world Sieg’s darkness’ presence disappeared from the world completely.
Sieg’s shadow unmerged with Sieg.

“Well that was pretty easy” said Sieg’s shadow.

“I wouldn’t say that” said Sieg.

“Ha ha ha you are still the same Sieg I have known all this time” laughed Sieg’s shadow.

“You said that you knew someone that could help restore my memory” said Sieg.

“Yep, I do!” exclaimed Sieg’s shadow. There was a long pause.

“Well aren’t you going to tell?” asked Sieg.

“Of course I am I just liked the suspense, don’t you?” asked Sieg’s shadow. Sieg had an annoyed look on his face.

“Just tell me who he is!” exclaimed Sieg.

“Okay, okay, man, you are defiantly the same old Sieg” said Sieg’s shadow.

“His name is Balmung, he was fused with your spirit for a time so you can save his soul but you soon felt sorry for Balmung and decided to make a place where he could live in peace. So you and your friends built a ruin and you sealed away Balmung’s soul there so he could eventually rise to the heavens and you sealed the graves entrance with your four friends’ elemental swords. So if you were to collect them you could see Balmung. I think he is still in this world, it takes awhile for a soul that was fused with a dragon slayer to finally rise to the heavens.”

“Wait you said elemental swords!?” exclaimed Sieg.

“Yeah, why?” said Sieg’s shadow.

“The dark forces have all four of them!” exclaimed Sieg.

“What!? If you don’t do something quick they might destroy Balmung’s spirit for good and you will never be able to remember your past!” exclaimed Sieg’s shadow.

“Then send me back to the real world as fast as you can. I will get to his tomb and stop the evil that is trying to destroy him” said Sieg.

“Okay, I will, Balmung’s tomb is located where the twin moons light shall shine over the earth” said Sieg’s shadow.

Sieg began to wake up in the real world. He was in his dragon form. Everyone was well again to walk and Sarah hugged him.

“Sieg, I was so worried” said Sarah. “You were tossing and turning in your sleep, I thought you were killing yourself.” Sarah began to cry as she hugged Sieg some more.

“Sieg, were you able to control your darkness” asked Ignitus. Sieg nodded.

“That is a relief” said Volteer.

“How did you manage to do it” said Terrador.

“I’m sorry there’s no time!” exclaimed Sieg.

“Sheesh, man you just went from being wacko to being knocked out and you still have energy to burn!?” exclaimed Sparx.

“What’s the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?” asked Ignitus.

“Because the only chance I have to recover my memories is about to be destroyed!” exclaimed Sieg “Quick I need to know where the place is where twin moons light shines down on the earth.”

“Well that would be in the center of the forest” said Cyril.

“Really!? Thank you!” exclaimed Sieg. Sieg began to rush out of the temple.

“Wait Sieg don’t go there alone!” exclaimed Sarah.

“Don’t worry we will go with him” said Spyro. Spyro, Cynder, Hunter, and Sparx began to follow Sieg.

“Oh, I almost forgot” said Sieg.

“What is it?” asked Cynder. Sieg ran back to Sarah, gave her a kiss and hugged her before he ran outside the temple.

“What just happened?” asked Spyro.

“Love Spyro…Love” said Cynder as she gave Spyro a kiss on his cheek as she ran off towards Sieg.

“I’m getting very confused now” said Sparx.

“Don’t worry Sparx, you won’t be someday” said Spyro as he ran off with Sieg and Cynder.

“Come on! We don’t want to be the last ones here” said Hunter as he ran off.

“Ugh, this is a weird day” said Sparx as he followed everyone else. Sarah blushed after seeing Sieg kiss her.

“You love him don’t you Sarah” said Ignitus.

“Yeah, ever since I met him all those years ago while I was a dragon slayer. My feelings toward him have never wavered ever since that day” said Sarah.
