Well, Purple Legacy Part 1 is actually about 6000+ words more than Broken Perceptions (without the A/Ns), so yay for longer stories! And shocker, Broken Perceptions is finally done! I will just quickly answer some reviews, and then on with the Epilogue.
To 'Derick Lindsey', this is the first story I've released to the public, but I've been writing since I was 11. I had a Skylanders fanfiction series that I was working on (they were crappy and I've completely lost them so they're gone in the ashes of forgotten fanfictions), but even before that, I used to draw Sonic the Hedgehog fan-comics back when I was 8, when I was learning to draw Sonic and co., and saying that I should really do some more Sonic fanart on my DeviantArt page. But Fazbear, the FNAF fanfiction series that I started writing when I was 14, was something that I was really happy with and I still am (sort of) to this day, which is why I want to start getting work done on it. I started Broken Perceptions last year (just before I turned 15), and it was the best piece of work I had ever done. Then I started writing Purple Legacy Part 1, and it far surpassed anything I've ever written, and I'm really looking forward to posting it. As for your inquiry about Ignitus, as I have stated before, he will make an appearance in Purple Legacy. His debut in the five-part series may happen in Part 1, or it may happen in Part 5, or somewhere in between. Not going to say any more than that.
To 'Endless Bladez', I actually thought you were serious, because there are actually some people who are unable to take scenes like this. If you're joking, sometimes you need to make it a little clear, because there's no obvious tone of voice in a string of text that shows if you're joking or not. But thanks for the review and the favourite anyway. The warning still stands, though, to you and everyone else, if it does get too intense, you can stop reading. I think it's probably one of the darkest, if not, the darkest Spyro fanfic on this site. Although, I'm sure there are darker fanfics of other games/movies/books/whatever else on FFnet, so I don't think I can claim the title of darkest fanfic.
To 'UNNES1000', for Aaron returning to this world, you'll find out what happens in this Epilogue (although I've written it very poorly even in the rewrite, gah) when you read it. I hope it satisfies you, but I don't think it will. Even after the rewrite the last half of the Epilogue so desperately needed, it's still crap, so if it doesn't sit well with you, I'm sorry. As for Aaron not telling the dragons/cheetahs more about himself, it was something that was kind of skimmed over. I didn't want to drag the fourteen months of that section on for too long, although I probably should have had that in there. Too late now, though. Also, it wasn't a rush to get Purple Legacy or Fazbear out that made me forget about it, it was my own ignorance and I just hadn't thought everything through properly. But I think it's still good without, so eh. Secondly, I removed your other two reviews because I don't really like self-promotion on my pages; it's just awkward and comes across as someone just posting their stuff on the comments page of someone else's work to get attention (although I know you weren't trying to do that). If you want to show me some of your work, you may want to get an account on FFnet and PM me so that it doesn't clutter up the reviews section, and I'll try to give it a go. You could even post your stuff on FFnet if possible because it is a pretty good way to get people to read your work. As for MLP, I'm definitely not into it; it's just not my thing. But it's good to see you're trying writing something, so keep up the work in it.
Well anyway, long junky stuff over, let's finish this off, shall we?
Pain. It filled his body quickly, and he couldn't understand why he was feeling it. He had been underwater for less than five seconds, and his lungs felt fine. That was when red particles floated across his vision, floating up towards the surface of the water. He looked down and saw his arm was opening up to reveal flesh and bone, huge amounts of blood being jettisoned from the wound. He felt the robes around his chest swell up, before blood burst from the neck hole, and his vision went red. Unable to take the pain any longer, the water stinging the wounds, he swam to the surface, taking in a large intake of air before letting out a scream, blood streaming down his body from old wounds.
Aaron opened his eyes slightly to see that he was in a park. Eyes had been turned towards him, and people shouted and cried out with terror at the sight that he was in. Dragons had done this to him, he remembered. Spyro had done this to him. Every wound he bore was given to him by Spyro's teeth and claws. Aaron let out another cry of pain as tears began to stream down his eyes. Aaron looked around to see countless people were on their phones, shouting frantically to the other end. The words 'ambulance' and 'come quickly' were heard, and Aaron knew that they were all calling the ambulance to come to his aid.
Frantic footsteps and shocked gasps came from his left. He turned his head and saw four faces he hadn't seen in fourteen months. The bullies. Not a day had passed on Earth since the fourteen months he had been in the Dragon Realms. They all screeched to a halt, terrified expressions on their faces.
"What the hell?!" the leader cried out, looking around at everyone on their phones.
Not even bothering to grab his phone to call the ambulance too, or to try and help Aaron, the bullies just turned and fled with fear and disgust, before they were gone from Aaron's sight.
Aaron only just heard the sound of wailing sirens as he fell unconscious, and he knew he'd be in good hands.
"Hey, welcome to the waking world."
Aaron opened his eyes. He was in a bright white room, in a bed. Rick, his only friend, sat in a chair next to his bed. "Rick? What are you doing here?" Aaron asked.
"I've been with you for a while. You've been out for three days." Rick said, sighing. "You've been in a very bad way. Bleeding and groaning, calling out random names."
Aaron groaned in acknowledgement. But something was wrong. He felt… odd in is left side. So, he turned around, only to gasp with shock. His left arm, the one Spyro had bitten, was… gone. "What happened?"
"They said that the wounds on your chest and back would heal, but the arm was so bad, it had to be amputated. There was no way it would survive. The other wounds would leave quite bad scars, however, but they'll close up eventually." Rick said, before adding, "I've been wondering, what the hell did this to you? Those wounds were unlike anything I've ever seen."
"You won't believe me if I told you." Aaron said.
"No matter what you say, your wounds are all proof. I don't care how farfetched it sounds." Rick insisted.
"Alright." Aaron said, taking a deep breath before saying, "A dragon did this to me."
"A dragon? Where in the actual hell…?"
"I was somehow transported to another world. I was there for fourteen months, surprisingly; time there seems to have no correlation to time here. But in the first few days, the dragons that lived in that world were very against me. I almost died several times."
"So… you… it…" Rick stammered before sinking back into his chair with a deep exhale. "Jeez, how the hell did this happen?!"
"I don't know. I have no explanation at all."
They were silent for a little longer. Rick broke the silence. "They're ordering a prosthetic for your arm. It looks pretty cool. Very advanced technology, as a matter of fact. I think you'd like it."
Aaron stifled a laugh. He merely smiled. "I like the sound of that."
"Also, the bullies? They turned and dispersed. Everybody thinks they had something to do with it, despite you being on the news with several witnesses saying you went into the lake perfectly intact, and when you came out, you were bleeding quite badly."
"So, the bullying's over?"
"From those guys, at least. But hey, they were the only real problem. Everyone else was kind of minor, and after what happened to those other guys, I think they're all a bit shocked and wary."
"Good."
"So, the dragons. What were they like?"
"It's a long story." Aaron said, before pausing and sighing.
Life was finally taking an upward curve for him. First, he had met his childhood heroes, despite the trials he had faced. Now, he was home again, and the bullying problem was finally at an end.
He was looking forward to what his life held for him now. Life in the Dragon Realms had made him stronger as a person, and he was optimistic to what his future was. He turned to his right and saw beside him on a table, was his bag, as well as his bow. The bow that Hunter had made for him. Aaron would treasure the bow forever.
Thank you everyone. Aaron silently prayed.
That was short and crappy, but with the Epilogue done, Broken Perceptions is now 100% complete! I want to thank every single one of you for your support and enthusiasm into my work, so thank you all so much.
Over the rest of the month, I will be working on getting the first few chapters of Fazbear Part 1: Bitten up and running. For those who want an early summary, Bitten takes place during 1983 and 1987, which are two massive dates in the Five Nights at Freddy's timeline, which involve animatronics biting people (a child in 1983, and the day guard in 1987), and I've taken my own little spin on both events, although the Bite of '83 carries closely to the official event in FNAF 4. It also goes through the events of Sister Location, going from Circus Baby 'scooping' Miss Afton, to the creation of Purple Guy through Ennard. For those who don't know your FNAF lore, none of this will probably make any sense to you, so read up if you're interested, so you can get hurtled into this new series.
If you're not interested in that, stick around for Purple Legacy Part 1. A more detailed sneak peek is up on my profile, so go read that if you're interested. The sneak peek will be removed when I start posting the full version of Purple Legacy Part 1, so any reviews you've left will be lost, and you will lose a favourited story, so make sure if you're interested that you follow/favourite Purple Legacy Part 1 when it comes out, and review as much as you can. It will be rated M for intense violence, blood and gore, as well as frequent character death. I've just finished writing a torture scene (literally separated by one chapter from another one so that was unintentional lol), which gets pretty intense. So, if you're not into violence, gore, or death, I probably wouldn't recommend Purple Legacy to you. Also, depending on how extreme I need to go to get some emotions out of some characters or to get some events rolling, I will also include a few minor suggestive themes (although, like it says, it's only suggestive, so all the content will be vague and implicit, so there's no mature romance from me sorry all you peeps who like that weird icky stuff). I will only use suggestive themes if there's no other way to release a certain emotion out of a character, or to get a certain event underway; I don't want to have to use suggestive themes if I don't need to. Most of them will be in later parts of Purple Legacy as well, mainly Parts 3 and 5, but there will still be some in Part 1 and 4. I have none planned for Part 2 yet, and there probably won't be any, unless I'm referring back to Part 1 (just felt I should get that out there just so you all know).
Anyway, another massive rant done (this Epilogue is mostly A/N so sorry lol), and my first fanfiction done! I will see you all when the Prologue of Bitten comes out. If not then, it'll be when the Prologue of Purple Legacy Part 1 comes out. If you want to talk to me before then, you can leave a review if you want, but if you want a response, you'll have to have an account so I can reply to you in a PM, so all you guests, better get an FFnet account (lol jk you don't have to).
See you later! :D
