Ferveras Reaches his destination without trouble. He finds that the outskirts Valendrral, the cesspit of violence and despair of the world, the place where sick muderers and other holed up, looks as if it never existed. Even though the the city of Valendrall has changed and the records of the old city has been destroyed, a feeling of pain, rage, and dread still hung over the city like a guillotine. Through it all he notices a building placed off to the side. To Ferveras it looks out of place, yet feels familiar.
Reaching the building, Ferveras notices that the only entrances to the building are at atleast thirty stories up. This poses no problem as the age of the buiilding creates many cracks and crevices for him to climb. Reaching the the entrance, he notices six voices speaking. they speak of one's victory of the entity of malefor, they speak of what they must do to prevent apocalypse, and one in particular speaks of regret. that one voice speaks of how it must leave to find it's place in the world.
Ferveras peers to the floor and what he finds shocks him, for he finds not only dragons, but dragons capable of sentient thoughts and emotions. Four of the six dragons seemed to represent the alchemical elements, one dragon was purple an was held in high esteem, and the last one was black, quiet and deeply troubled by previous actions unknown.The purple and black dragons leave the tower.
The red dragon calls out to Ferveras, "Come down child, we are aware of your presence." "Yes, Yes! Please come down. We mean you no harm." the yellow one also beckons. " I shall come down. This will be an interesting oppurtunity to find out what makes you tick." Ferveras responds as he leaps down. "Just one thing?" he asks, " You spoke in a way that told me that you were aware of my presence long before my intrusion in the city. Would you mind explaining." "Sure, but let me introduce myself." The red dragon replied. " I am Ignitus, Draconic master of fire and mentor to spyro. These are my associates, Cyril, Terrador, and Volteer. They are the masters of Ice, Earth, and lightning respectively. As for knowing who you are, The well of souls tells all."
"So that's how you found me" Ferveras replies " The well of souls still stands. If you knew how it was created, you may have second thoughts about leaving it standing. Well let me tell you. The well of souls is much more than a tool of divination, it is a relic that can single handedly bring about apocalypse. Back, during the time of men, A powerful warlord had a dream. The dream showed how to damn souls to an eternity of pain, and how he could harness those souls to fuel his body, turning him invincible. The effects of just one soul was temporary. Needless to say, the warlord would never be satisfied with temporary benefits.
Posing as a Benevolent ruler, he created a giant basin and invited the entire city of Valendrral to a 'special' party. When every one got there, he asked everyone to stand in the basin. The citezens did so without knowing of their imminent demise. It was then That he ordered his armies fire arrows upon the the citizens. The the death count was in the millions. The blood of that many innocents bagan emit a white energy, all one could hear was the distraught cries of the dead and damned. Eventually the energy filled the basin. the warlord had what he wanted. He had a power that reached an almost omnipotent level. He eventually made enough enemies for one virtous man undergo equally dark rituals."
The other dragons stand silent at this revelation. The original freindly atmosphere has died, like the smiles from ignitus' and volteer's faces. The atmosphere remains unchanged as the purple dragon returns to the tower.
