Chapter Text
It's been a month since he got turned into a vampire and he's still not used to it, being both a vampire and dragon was hard to manage because of the urges and sudden thirst for blood.
Sure, there's Wind Archer to make sure he's not gonna attack an innocent cookie, also adding Millienal Tree also who's helping him to find a way to reverse to it, Fire spirit felt happy from all the help he's getting.
Now, back at the Dragon’s Valley, Fire Spirit leaned onto the rock for support, clutching his head as he tried to ignore the voices.
( Feed. You're hungry aren't you? Those animal jams aren't enough and you know that.
It wouldn't hurt to harm an innocent cookie for their jam, you know~?
Afterall, you're just a vampire needing to feed, no harm done!
Shut up shut up shut UP—
Now now, flame. No need to be so mad, If you do, you might accidentally attack someone~ )
Fire Spirit his teeth as he proceeds to make fireballs and blasted away rocks around him. (Why won't the voices just shut up and leave him be?!)
His tail lashing violently as he gripped on his staff, he sighed deeply as he tried to calm down, he was about to fly off and head to the forest when some cookie suddenly pressed a gem against his chest.
He suddenly felt a surge of dark magic around his body as the gem slowly fused with the dragon’s bead.
( Stop stop stop stop stop stop—
It hurts, it fcking hurts— )
He felt himself getting more powerful in the most painful way possible, the said cookie who pressed the gem onto his chest is now gone, leaving him.
Before he knew it, darkness took over him, controlling his body as his own consciousness was locked and chained down at the back of his mind.

Wind Archer was patrolling around the forest as usual, then after that, he'd head to Dragon’s Valley to check on Fire Spirit on how his fellow guardian is doing after all that happened last month.
He was about to finish his patrol when he saw smoke rising from a part of the forest, wasting no time, he quickly made his way there.
His eyes widened as he's met with such destruction, there were dead animals everywhere, all bearing the same bite marks of that vampire. There stood in the center, Fire Spirit cookie holding Churro cookie in a choke-hold. Wind Archer could also see Habanero and Peperoncino cookie lying unconscious by his feet.
Before anything else, Wind Archer quickly grabbed an arrow from his quiver and aimed it at Fire Spirit, hoping he would drop the temple guardian.
Fire Spirit’s ear twitched when he heard a sound of a bow, turning his head to the sound, he suddenly dropped Churro Cookie as the arrow impaled his arm, he hissed in pain as he yanked it out harshly.
He glared at Wind Archer, tail lashing violently as he jumped the guardian, Wind Archer dodged Fire Spirit and proceeded to pin him on the ground.
“ Fire Spirit, why are you— huh?! “ a familiar dark magic suddenly emerged from Fire Spirit, making the archer suddenly jump away from him.
This made Wind Archer cautious, from what he can remember, darkness hasn't touched Dragon’s Valley yet, he didn't feel any presence of Dark Enchantress Cookie’s minions or hound cakes, so how come Fire Spirit is corrupted by it..?
He snapped out of his thoughts when Fire Spirit threw a fireball at him. ‘ I need to somehow immobilize him so I could purify the darkness.. ‘
Grabbing an arrow from his quiver, he aimed it at Fire Spirit, before he could even do anything. Tree roots suddenly surrounded the fire guardian, trapping him.
“ Churro Cookie wait! That won't wo— “ the said tree roots were engulfed in fire as Fire Spirit broke free. He proceeds to charge at the temple guardian, grabbing him by the neck and slamming him on the ground, creating a small crater beneath.
Wind Archer aimed his arrow at Fire Spirit to get him off Churro Cookie, in which the fire guardian did to dodge the arrow. Wind Archer quickly went to Churro cookie and helped him get up, the fire guardian was about to throw a fireball at them when a hammer suddenly hit him fair and square on the stomach, making him drop to the ground and clutch it in pain
Habanero was about to hit him again when Wind archer stopped him.
“ Wait! He's not in control of himself! “ This made the cookie look at him in confusion,
“ What do you mean?! He literally attacked me and my dad when we were visiting him! Mind you, he almost killed us! “ Habanero complained.
“ Yes, but it's not him! He's being controlled by s— watch out! “ Tree roots emerged from the ground, binding down Fire Spirit before he could harm Habanero Cookie.
Churro cookie grunted as he clutched his abdomen, the fire elemental did a number on him. “ Get out of there! Now! “
Habanero quickly grabbed his hammer and ran to them, “ what do you mean he's controlled?! “ he demanded.
“ Back there while you were unconscious, dark magic suddenly emerged from Fire Spirit while I was confronting him. It seems that something or someone did something to him, making him suddenly attack everyone he sees and bring destruction. “ Wind Archer explained.
“ But how? He's the Fire Spirit, the embodiment of eternal flame himself! “
“ Yes, but Dark Enchantress can influence and corrupt us, thankfully I can purify the corruption, usually it would be easier but since Fire Spirit keeps fighting back.. we need to take his staff away to render him useless. “ Wind Archer explained to Habanero, the said cookie smirked.
“ Alright! Leave that to me! “ Fire Spirit broke out of the bindings and snarled at them, gritting his teeth as he pounced on them but Peperoncino Cookie blocked his attack with his sword, angering the fire elemental further.
Churro Cookie breathed heavily as he dropped to the ground, thankfully, Wind Archer caught and gently set him down.
“ You've done enough, Churro Cookie. We'll take it here. “ he said, both him and Habanero proceeded to aid Peperoncino Cookie in the battle.
“ I'll distract him! Make sure to take his staff when he's distracted enough “ The other two nodded, Wind Archer aimed his arrow at Fire Spirit piercing through his shoulder, making him hiss as his flames slowly burned away the arrow.
The Fire guardian now focused on him, the guardian proceeds to attack him with fireballs, completely ignoring the other two cookies as he chased the archer. While the plan is working, Wind Archer failed to foresee that Fire Spirit will corner him, one way or another.
Wind Archer backed away from Fire Spirit until he felt his back touching the wall, the fire elemental grinned, almost as if the predator caught its prey. Without a notice, Habanero and Peperoncino suddenly appeared
Peperoncino pinning Fire Spirit down as Habanero successfully managed to pry his staff away from him. Usually, the Eternal flame would retreat to his orb the moment he let go of his staff, but to their surprise, He didn't.
“ Wha— how! He's not holding his staff anymore! “ Habanero complained, Wind Archer tsk’ed in frustration, he dropped his bow and got on top of Fire Spirit.
“ Make to have a firm hold on him! “ Wind Archer closed his eyes, placing his hands on Fire Spirit’s chest, chanting ancient rhymes as he felt the ebb and flow of energy in his veins, traveling to his palms to cleanse the darkness. Glowing veins both appeared on the guardians, Wind Archer gritted his teeth, there's too much darkness inside of Fire Spirit.
‘ I don't think I can purify all of this… how did he get all of this darkness?? ‘ he questioned silently, feeling exhausted he proceeds to knock out Fire Spirit to bring him to Millienal Tree Cookie (despite it's too risky.)
“ Hey! Why did you knock him out?! “ Habanero asked, glaring at Wind Archer.
“ I had to. There's just too much darkness and I can't seem to purify it all… the more I purify, the more darkness there is, as if there's some kind of source embedded inside of Fire Spirit. “
“ Hmm. But still, why did you knock him out? “
“ I'm going to bring him to Millienal Tree Cookie. “
“ And.. who's that? “ Wind Archer stared at him, “ okay fine fine, I'll stop asking. Sheesh. “
“ I'll be on my way. Please, take care of Churro Cookie. “ Wind Archer said, the other two nodded, he proceeds to grabbed Fire Spirit and his staff (surprisingly, it didn't weight heavy for him)
{ Timeskip brought to you by my headcanons!
The Red Dragon's bead actually resides in Fire Spirit’s chest like a heart! The one on his staff is a fake, but he still turns into an orb when he loses the staff.
(P.S the reason why didn't turn into an orb is because of the gem!)
Everytime Fire Spirit or Wind Archer uses their powers, their veins glow! It's hard to see because they both wear gloves;)
Wind Archer calls Millie “father” in this AU }
Wind Archer arrived at the place where Millienal Tree Cookie resides, there at the center, he spotted the cookie.
“ Father. “ He called out, drawing the Cookie's attention. “ Oh my, what happened to you, dove? And Fire Spirit? Why am I sending a concerning amount of darkness in him? “
“ I.. don't know. I tried to purify it but, the more I do, the more darkness there is, almost as if there's a source. “ He explained, Millie hummed as if knowing what Wind Archer wants him to do.
Kneeling beside the fire guardian as he placed his hand on the guardian’s chest. His hand glowed softly, purifying the darkness.
Fire Spirit groaned in pain as Millienal Tree purified the darkness, then suddenly, the darkness intensified making Fire Spirit scream as his eyes snapped opened, attacking Millie but Wind Archer quickly pinned down his arms, preventing him from doing so.
Something then came out of his chest, a gem, and it seems that it's the source of the darkness that was residing in Fire Spirit.
Millienal Tree proceeds to destroy the gem, the darkness then disappeared, Wind Archer sighed. Fire Spirit fell unconscious as he glowed bright orange and turned into his orb.
“... Is he going to be okay..? “ Wind Archer asked, carefully holding the orb.
“ Only time will tell, Wind Archer. Now let's make sure he's comfortable so he could heal properly. “
“ Okay.. “
