Spinebreaker: the rise of skullcrusher

Chapter 15: Xenon's interference

///This chapter is going to be the POV of Gigant as he and Spyro traverse the land of Fjordur\\\

Me and Spyro teleported to Fjordur from a nearby obelisk (as bosses cannot teleport to fjordur on there own).

We arrived there only to find a once beautiful Redwood forest now in flames and ruins, with dead dinos everywhere, there were dead rexes, dead skulldoms, and even some other creatures, which on closer inspection, I was shocked to find out they were Xenomorph corpses.

Well I should have expected these corpses here, Fjordur bordered Xenon, which was the empire of the xenomorphs. But to find some illegally inside our borders was completely unexpected. Were they defending their borders from the Skulldoms? Or even worse, trying to expand their borders and making use of the chaos?

Next to me Spyro frowned and said "This is not good, Xenon may have just broken our fragile 50 year long peace by sending these troops into our Kingdom. But they may have been trying to defend their borders."

I said "My lord, it may be best for us to find a hiding spot, me being a Giganotosaurus is going to be normal as this is one of our species natural biomes but it's not everyday a dragon walks through here, you would be easily spotted and captured, or even worse killed, not that your not capable of defending yourself my lord". Spyro chuckled at my concern and said "Do not worry Gigant, I can defend myself, however you are right, it is better to find a hiding spot, and I know of a cave nearby. Come, let us go".

And so we started to walk towards the cave, apparently it wasn't in the redwoods but was really well hidden.

After 5 minutes, we reached the edge of the redwoods, ahead of us were open plains filles with more dead bodies and fires, the beautiful river that flowed through the area was filles with blood. Next to me Spyro sighed and said "When will Skullcrusher learn that the more he takes, the less he has, this was once a beautiful area teeming with dinos and xenomorph immigrants, and now there is nothing but death here"

I said "Don't worry my lord, we will take our revenge". But to this Spyro said "Revenge is a vicious cycle I hope to avoid, you however, are too young to understand".

I was really confused by this so I just nodded in agreement and we carried on. We walked through the open plains and in 10 minutes reached the cave, it was massive with a little stream running through it, at the edge was a little ramp leading up to another area further behind where voices and wierd chittering could be heard.

Spyro said "Well Gigant, what do you thunk we should do?"

I knew Spyro was testing me so I thought well and hard until I got it, I said "I will go in first to check out the cave, if there are enemies than I will silently eliminate them but if there are allies or nothing at all than I will roar which will signal thag all is clear."

Spyro said "That is a sound plan my child, but one I can't follow, I will not let you risk your life for mine, we shall go in together".

I tried to argues but instead of listening, Spyro just started to walk towards the voices. After sighing and accepting defeat I just followed him, we climbed the ramp and saw another entrance to a massive cavern where there was a fire lit and shadows of wierd looking creatures could be seen, I counted to three than me and Spyro entered and oh boy, did we make an unexpected discovery.

There were 5 xenomorphs, among them 4 were drone xenomorphs (couldn't talk, are technically controlled by others) and one was a warrior xenomorph (usually the leader of a group of drones). The xenomorphs were divided into castes like these.

They looked at us and the 4 drones formed a defensive circle around the warrior, who started to growl at us.

I said "Who are you, state your names and why you are in our lands!"
